Paperback. Condizione: Good. A powerful historical novel set in Peru in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. ?In Malambo . . . the Rimac proudly rubs elbows with the freedmen, the cimarrons, and smuggled slaves. . . It runs united to the other subterranean springs underneath Blanket Street, Weavers Lane, and under Jewish Street . . . and Swordmaker?s Lanes.? The Rimac shapes the narrative of this compelling historical novel that probes the brutal clash of ethnicity, religion, and class in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Peru. Set against the backdrop of Spanish colonialism and the Spanish Inquisition in the ?New World,? Malambo peels back the layers of Peru?s society to focus on the subtle connections among indigenous peoples? Africans, Jews, Christians, and others?whose cultural fusion pervades Latin American history and culture. At the heart of the novel is Tomason, an African artist living along the Rimac who paints religious murals for the church and his colonial masters. The intermingling of his Yoruba heritage with his life in a Spanish colony transforms him into a griot figure who unearths the deeper truths of his painful and complex experience by sharing it. Other memorable characters? stories intertwine with Tomason?s tale, developing a narrative that powerfully reflects on the themes of dislocation and enslavement.Malambo is an unforgettable work that explores the origins of the Afro-Hispanic experience and offers a profound meditation on the forces of history. …

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Peruvian poet Luis Hernandez is legendary in his native country. Even as he was haunted by addiction and spent periodic time in rehabilitation centers, Hernandez was exceptionally gifted in his youth, publishing three books of poetry by the time he was twenty-four. He did not publish another book before his untimely death at thirty-six, but he was not silent-he filled notebooks with poems, musical notations, quotes, translations, musings, newspaper clippings, and drawings. Derived from these notebooks, The School of Solitude is the first book of Hernandez's poetry in English. The haunting voice of Hernandez evokes an irrevocably distant past, with the poems contemplating happiness and joy, love and fulfillment, yet always with a sense of sadness, solitude, and dream. Including rare images from Hernandez's notebooks, as well as several poems never before published in any language, The School of Solitude will be read not only for its powerful poetry and imagery, but also as a means to learn more about this enigmatic Latin American poet and the mystery of his life and work. …

Paperback. Condizione: Like New. A powerful account of the symbolic murder of the poet?s mother. From the first poem in this bilingual edition of The Men Who Killed My Mother, it is evident that the mother in ?Our Mother? (?Nuestra Madre?) is not only Fernando Valverde?s. The soulful refrain of ?mother/madre? might be anyone?s mother whose suffering is palpable in a world legislated over by men. Issues such as orphanhood, abuse, violence, manipulation, and fear are treated with the rawness of someone who has tasted the venom of betrayal. This is a lyrical dark garden of faith and family, exposing treachery and cruelty, and anger at injustice, from the voice of a son with deep love for his mother?for her honor, dignity, and dreams.  Valverde leads us into a forest full of wolves and serpents under the governance of civil society. He has received many awards for his poetry and is recognized as one of the most highly acclaimed poets of his generation in Spain. This heartfelt English translation by Gordon E. McNeer captures the power of Valverde?s poetic cadences and its haunting evocative lyricism.…
