HE OWNS MY DEBT BUT HE WON''T TAKE MY MONEY. ALL HE WANTS IS ME. Gaius Serrano is a mysterious figure in the world of wine. He’s arrogant. Darkly handsome. And—my instinct warns me—dangerous. He’s the last person I want owning my family’s debt. Since my parents died, I’ve been responsible for my sibling''s future and fortunes in the form of our family’s business. I’ll pay any price to get it back. But he doesn’t want my money. He wants to master my pleasure. One night for one share of the business. If I give myself to him, I can earn my business back piece by piece. I have no choice. I have to take the deal. I fall into his arms, into his bed. Into a world of passion that threatens to consume us both. Because Gaius doesn’t want mere pieces of me. He wants all of me. He’ll bring me to the edge over and over again until he breaks me. Until he makes me his.

These exquisite love poems, some of them clearly addressed to women, were written by the visionary and passionate genius of Mexican letters, the seventeenth-century nun Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. In this volume they are translated into the idiom of our own time by poets Joan Larkin and Jaime Manrique. Some of them are rooted in Renaissance courtly conventions; others are startlingly ahead of their time, seemingly modern in the naked power of the complex sexual feelings they address.

I told myself archives were safe. Dusty shelves of forgotten kings, where a girl like me could hide from the world''s cruel need for connection. Isolation was my armor. Belonging? A fool''s craving I buried deep. Until he cornered me in the vault''s golden haze, candlewax dripping like secrets too heavy to hold. This crown prince, all polished duty masking a storm of want, pressed close. His breath on my neck promised protection no commoner ever knew. Forbidden. Reckless. Mine. That night, bodies twisted amid ancient scrolls, he filled me with purpose. Urgent thrusts breeding royalty into my veins, sweat cooling on skin as palace walls whispered warnings. I arched into it, defying every boundary I''d sworn to keep. Just once, I lied to myself. His hand on my belly later, tracing the swell no one else could see, unraveled that lie completely. Storm winds battered the lodge where we hid, breaths tangling like vows we couldn''t speak. He shielded me from prying eyes, from the rival circling our fragile world, hungry for the scandal that would strip his throne bare. My independence hangs by whispers now-professional whispers, safety''s fragile thread, the credibility I''ve clawed from nothing. Yet every time he takes me, pinning me down with that possessive gaze, I wonder. This man who could ruin me with a single heir growing inside. Will our desperate union crown us both, or shatter everything in a rival''s vengeful grasp? A full-length breeding impregnation royalty erotic romance featuring a defiant archivist and a possessive crown prince.

I swore I''d never trade my hard-fought solitude for some gilded cage. Not even when the crown''s own heir corners me in shadowed archives, his breath hot against parchment that smells of centuries-old secrets and our unraveling restraint. I''m the outsider scholar, all sharp wit and buried longing, chasing belonging in dusty tomes while pretending raw need doesn''t claw at my independence. He is duty''s prisoner, regal lines cracking under heir-making hunger that mirrors my own forbidden ache. One glance across flickering candles, and intellect bows to impulse. Sweat slicks our skin over an unsigned breeding contract, my fingers trembling on treaty scrolls as he presses the truth I''ve denied: my body craves his seed like a throne craves succession. We collide in whispers of detachment. Horse-saddling fingers brush at dawn, electric with unspoken ruin, his touch rewriting rules I etched in stone. I mask vulnerability with sarcasm, spitting barbs to hide how his restrained growl undoes me. "Just research," I lie, even as pleasure floods the hollow duty carved in him. Every deliberate surrender defies ancient bloodlines. A commoner''s womb seeding royal legacy? Pure transgression, throbbing with the thrill of defilement. Yet autonomy fractures under his obsessive tenderness, my scholarly armor no match for the intimacy I''ve starved for. What if this heir we breed claims more than a crown? My legacy. My self-reliance. Everything I''ve built against isolation''s bite. He floods me with fire no command can quench, but surrender tastes like chains disguised as ecstasy. Can I walk from archives reeking of our sin, womb heavy with his privilege, heart untouched by forever''s whisper? A full-length breeding royalty erotic romance featuring defiant scholar and duty-bound prince. Includes themes of forbidden breeding and royal transgression.

Es el más conocido, original y perfecto de los autos sacramentales de Sor Juana. Fue publicado en 1689. El divino Narciso representa la culminación de la tradición del auto sacramental, llevada a su punto más alto por Pedro Calderón de la Barca, de quien Sor Juana toma la mayoría de los elementos del auto, y los lleva aún más lejos creando gran auto sacramental. En El divino Narciso Sor Juana usa un conjunto lírico-dramático para dar vida a los personajes creados. El divino Narciso, personificación de Jesucristo, vive enamorado de Su imagen, y a partir de ese planteamiento se narra toda la historia. Marcelino Menéndez y Pelayo, Julio Jiménez Rueda y Amado Nervo han coincidido en que El divino Narciso es el más logrado de los autos sorjuanescos.u003cbru003eAlude al tema de la conquista de América y a las tradiciones de los pueblos nativos del continente, aunque este tema no era popular en la literatura de su tiempo. Sor Juana se aprovecha de un rito azteca, representado por un tocotín, en honor a Huitzilopochtli para introducir la veneración a la Eucaristía y ligar las creencias precolombinas con el catolicismo hispánico. Es una de las obras pioneras en representar la conversión colectiva al cristianismo, pues el teatro europeo estaba acostumbrado a representar solo la conversión individual.u003cbru003eLa obra cuenta con la participación de personajes alegóricos basados principalmente en la mitología grecolatina, y en menor medida en la Biblia. Naturaleza Humana, la protagonista, dialoga con Sinagoga y Gentilidad, y se enfrenta a Eco y Soberbia.

Escrito en 1691, a tres a�os de su muerte, la Respuesta de la poetisa a la muy ilustre sor Filotea de la Cruz es de los pocos textos en prosa que conocemos de sor Juana. Se trata de uno de los ejemplos mejores logrados de la forma en toda la literatura colonial novohispana. En �l, la monja hace una r�plica al escrito del obispo de Puebla, Fern�ndez de Santa Cruz, titulado Carta de sor Filotea, que acompa�aba la Carta atenag�rica. La Respuesta a sor Filotea ha dado pie a un mejor entendimiento de la autora, pues revela detalles autobiogr�ficos al tiempo que defiende su capacidad intelectual. Desde la descripci�n de su primer contacto con las letras, hasta el dilema que supon�a el no poder dedicarse de lleno a ellas, sor Juana deja en evidencia su descomunal talento. Con maestr�a y claridad, la monja logra convencer al lector de su tesis central: su amor por el conocimiento no es un pecado, sino la expresi�n misma de su persona.

Der Band beleuchtet die Hintergründe des libyschen Machtkampfes und versucht, Antworten auf die brennendsten Fragen zu geben: Wie kam es dazu, dass ein ursprünglich revolutionäres, antikolonialistisches Projekt der Herrschaft des Volkes zu einer Diktatur über das Volk verkommen ist? Was ist vom neuen Libyen zu erwarten? Kommt es gar zu einer Teilung des Landes? Und welche Interessen vertritt der Westen tatsächlich mit seinen Bomben und Marschflugkörpern?

This volume proposes a rich corpus of papers about the ''Other City'', a subject only few times dealt with, but worthy of all our attention: it imposes itself on the scene of international modern and contemporary historiography for its undeniable topicality. Throughout history, the city has always had to deal with social ''otherness'', i.e. with class privileges and, consequently, with discrimination and marginalization of minorities, of the less well-off, of foreigners, in short, with the differences in status, culture, religion. So that the urban fabric has ended up structuring itself also in function of those inequalities, as well as of the strategic places for the exercise of power, of the political, military or social control, of the spaces for imprisonment, for the sanitary isolation or for the ''temporary'' remedy to the catastrophes. From the first portraits of cities, made and diffused at the beginning of the fifteenth century for political exaltation purposes or for religious propaganda and for devotional purposes, which often, through increasingly refined graphic techniques, distort or even deny the true urban image, we reach, at the dawn of contemporary history, the new meaning given by scientific topography and new methods of representation; these latter aimed at revealing the structure and the urban landscape in their objectivity, often unexpected for who had known the city through the filter of ''regime'' iconography. The representation of the urban image still shows the contradictions of a community that sometimes includes and even exalts the diversities, other times rejects them, showing the unease of a difficult integration.

El título de este volumen se asocia con lamemoria y apela al retorno de quien no ha olvidado su origen,al regreso al punto de partida (la madre, la tierra) luego del viaje de la existencia. Pero Nóstoi implica también un volver constante a las bases de la cultura: alcanzar de nuevo la vida organizada, las relaciones de familia y la propia lengua después de la experiencia del extrañamiento y la otredad que nos ofrece la vida. Esta serie de trabajos traduce, con los límites que implican las palabras, la maravilla devolver a nuestra maestra, a nuestra amiga, con la experiencia de los propios recorridos y aprendizajes, para homenajearla y agradecerle. Implica evocar a Elena Huber en un viaje intelectual que no es más que un desplazamiento emotivo hacia los valores, eternos, que ella representó para todos.
