In the pueblo of Palenque in Colombia, hardly anybody knows how to read. Curious about the letters her older sister Gina receives from a young doctor each month — letters that she is sure contain promises of love — one young girl makes a decision that will change her life, and the lives of every child in the pueblo, forever. With the help of Señor Velandia, the owner of the village shop, she will slowly unlock the letters of the alphabet and discover the magic of reading. And soon she will make a discovery that is more miraculous still — that letters are literally all around her . . .

Meet Balam, a boy who could be a cat. Meet Lluvia, a girl who could be the dawn. Balam and Lluvia are siblings who catch fireflies, bid farewell to their pet fish in the bathroom, and wait for Raton Perez to collect their teeth. In Balam and Lluvia's House, the secret tastes and sounds of the everyday are waiting to be found. From the smell of crushed laurel leaves to the whispers of the peach tree in their back garden, every day is a day of discovery. Full of lively and reflective poems, this book invites the reader to run alongside Balam and Lluvia captivated by the world that surrounds them. Lawrence Schimel's translation brings the work of acclaimed Guatemalan author and playwright Julio Serrano Echeverria into English for the first time.

Thirteen-year-old Juan's summer is off to a terrible start. First, his parents separate. Then, almost as bad, Juan is sent away to his strange Uncle Tito's house for the entire holiday! Who wants to live with an oddball recluse who has zigzag eyebrows, drinks fifteen cups of smoky tea a day, and lives inside a huge, mysterious library? As Juan adjusts to his new life among teetering, dusty shelves, he notices something odd: the books move on their own! He rushes to tell Uncle Tito, who lets his nephew in on a secret: Juan is a Princeps Reader, which means books respond magically to him, and he's the only one who can find the elusive, never-before-read Wild Book. An unforgettable adventure story about books, libraries, and the power of reading.

Blood Lines - Vampire Stories from New England (Paperback): Martin Greenburg, Lawrence Schimel Blood Lines - Vampire Stories from New England (Paperback)
Martin Greenburg, Lawrence Schimel
R267 Discovery Miles 2 670 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

New Englanders have a sense of lineage unmatched in any other region of America. To this day those whose ancestors were the first Europeans to settle here tend to regard families whose first ancestors arrived as early as 200 years ago as newcomers. This New England fondness for lineage is akin to the longevity of the vampire, whose life (or unlife) is extended by draining the lives and blood of others. The stories in Blood Lines explore the ancient mysteries of vampirism, along with the rich literary tradition begun with Lord Byron and with Bram Stoker's Dracula, first published in 1897 long after the aristocratic blood lines were established. The stories include: "One for the Road," Stephen King; "Investigating Jericho," Chelsea Quinn Yarbro; "The Brotherhood of Blood," Hugh B. Cave; "Chastel," Manly Wade Wellman; "The Doom of the House of Duryea," Earl Peirce, Jr.; "Moonlight in Vermont," Esther Friesner; "Secret Societies," Lawrence Schimel; "When the Red Storm Comes," Sarah Smith; "The Beautiful, the Damned," Kristine Kathryn Rusch; "The Shunned House," H. P. Lovecraft

The Worst Thing of All Is the Light: José Luis Serrano, Lawrence Schimel The Worst Thing of All Is the Light
José Luis Serrano, Lawrence Schimel
R600 Discovery Miles 6 000 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

A metafictional novel about two intertwined stories of love that seek to perpetuate themselves in history. The Worst Thing of All Is the Light tells two stories. First, that of the friendship of two heterosexual men, Koldo and Edorta, through the decades of the late twentieth century in Spain’s Basque Country. In the book Edorta writes in order to try and save from oblivion his relationship with Koldo—a bond for which the word “friendship†falls short yet for which he is too afraid to use the word “love.†It is the story of two men who are in love and don’t know it, or don’t want to know it. The second story is that of its author, José Luis Serrano, in the present day as he enjoys his summer holiday in the same Basque Country and talks with his husband at length about many different things, but mostly about how to narrate the relationship of Koldo and Edorta, two men who did not allow themselves to construct the domestic life that their counterparts enjoy today. Together these stories show a love that the lovers hope will outlive them, a love that is the same even if we give it different labels.

The Book of Denial (Hardcover): Ricardo Chávez Castañeda The Book of Denial (Hardcover)
Ricardo Chávez Castañeda; Illustrated by Alejandro Magallanes; Translated by Lawrence Schimel
R392 Discovery Miles 3 920 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

From award-winning Mexican author Ricardo Chávez Castañeda and the visionary Mexican designer Alejandro Magallanes comes a horror story and ghost story that is both daringly and beautifully told in word and image. There are stories so terrible that we tremble to hear even a whisper of them. Even more terrible, some of them are true.This is one such story, a story of our deepest inhumanity—one that confronts the history of violence against children, and through its young narrator attempts to find a way out. A horror story and ghost story told as much through art as through text, The Book of Denial is an antidote to our collective silence. By uplifting storytelling as a means of understanding the past and shaping the future, it is also—improbably—a beacon of hope. Written by genre-defying Mexican author Ricardo Chávez Castañeda, The Book of Denial is a dark and powerful story within a story, illustrated with a striking graphic sensibility by Alejandro Magallanes and translated by Lawrence Schimel. This is the third book to appear under Unruly, an imprint of picture books for older readers, and will include a short note to readers about how it continues to build this experimental framework of visually complex, sophisticated picture books for teens and adults.

Piece by Piece - How I Built My Life (No Instructions Required) (Paperback): David Aguilar, Ferran Aguilar Piece by Piece - How I Built My Life (No Instructions Required) (Paperback)
David Aguilar, Ferran Aguilar; Translated by Lawrence Schimel
R279 R212 Discovery Miles 2 120 Save R67 (24%) Ships in 9 - 15 working days

The heartfelt and funny memoir of a boy who built himself a prosthetic arm out of the world-famous toy bricks. David Aguilar was born missing part of one arm, a small detail that seemed to define his life and limit people's ideas of who he was and who he could be. But in this funny and heartfelt memoir, David proves that he can throw out the rulebook and people's expectations and maybe even make a difference in the world-and all with a sense of humor. At only nine years old, David built his first prosthesis from LEGO bricks, and since then he hasn't stopped creating and thinking about how his inventions, born from a passion for building things, could fuel change and help others. With a voice full of humor and heart, David tells his powerful story, of family and friendship, of heartbreak and loss, and ultimately of triumph and success, as he continues to dream big and build a life and a better world-piece by piece.

First published in Argentina, this lovely picture book will tug on the heartstrings of anyone who knows what it means to miss a loved one.

A bilingual poetry collection in which a microwave, a fly, a soup, a football match, a train, or a child in the subway serve as pretexts to explain the tragic nature of life when death is involved. One with strong personality and the double capacity of playing with language and using it as a mirror of the Mexican reality, sometimes violent, with memorable lines and reflections of great depth.
