Stranger to the Moon
Author: Evelio Rosero
Publisher: New Directions Publishing
ISBN: 0811228630
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 79
Book Description
A fantastical novel about power and subservience by the great Evelio Rosero, winner of Colombia’s National Literature Prize The renowned Colombian writer Evelio Rosero has never been one to shy away from the darker aspects of his nation’s history and society. His magnificent novel Stranger to the Moon portrays a world that seems to exist outside time and place but taps into the dark myths and collective subconscious of his country, with its harrowing inequality and violence. A parable of pointed social criticism, with naked humans imprisoned in a house in order to serve the needs of “the vicious clothed ones,” the novel describes what ensues when a single “naked one” privately rebels, risking his own death and that of his fellow prisoners. Each subsequent section of the book adds further layers to the ritualistic and bizarre social order inhabited by its characters. Insects and reptiles are trained as agents and spies against the naked ones, and only the most fortunate humans manage to reach old age by taking up strategic spots near the kitchens and grabbing for the fiercely contested food. Stranger to the Moon is a brave, powerful, and distinctive novel by a writer who arguably holds the strongest claim to the title of Colombia’s greatest living author.

Pluto and the Universe Plut N y El Universo
Author: Fabiola Johnson
Publisher: Palibrio
ISBN: 1463302878
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 71
Book Description
ABOUT THE BOOK Pluto and the Universe is a book that contains a play in English and Spanish and that could be read and/or staged by a minimum of ten and a maximum of seventeen, children, teens and adults alike. Intended for young audiences who not only will see and hear the characters who share outer space with Pluto, but will also reflect upon their place in the world and the importance of belonging, or not, to a particular group. With astronomical data and a story about an element who is expelled from the "system", spectators and readers are witnesses to an anecdote that is not so distant or different from one a human being can have here on Earth. The play takes place in 2006 (year on earth) in and around the solar system. The Sun has called for an alignment in order to inform the nine planets of the three recent requirements for classifying as a planet of the solar system. Firstly, they must orbit the Sun, secondly, have a spheroid shape and also clear their orbital environment. The audience will learn how all of the planets meet these requirements, except for Pluto who is not willing to go. He must meet Charon, Halley's Comet, an asteroid, a star and the Oort Cloud in order to comprehend the importance of being unique and a necessary part of this wonderful place called, the Universe. Plutón y el Universo es un libro que contiene una obra de teatro en inglés y en español ideal para un mínimo de diez actores y un máximo de diecisiete. Podrá ser leída y/o puesta en escena por niños, jóvenes y adultos. Dirigida a un público de niños y jóvenes que no sólo verán y escucharán a los personajes que comparten el espacio exterior con Plutón, también reflexionarán sobre su lugar en el mundo y la importancia de pertenecer o no, a un grupo en particular. Con datos astronómicos y una historia de un integrante que es expulsado de su lugar, podrán ser testigos de una anécdota que no es tan lejana o distinta a la de un humano en la Tierra. La obra se desarrolla en el año 2006 (de los terrícolas) en el sistema solar y sus alrededores. El Sol ha citado a los nueve planetas a una alineación ya que debe informarles acerca de los tres nuevos requerimientos para poder ser un planeta del sistema solar. Deberán orbitar al Sol, ser esféricos y despejar las inmediaciones de su órbita. El público se entera de cómo y porque todos cumplen, menos Plutón, que tendrá que dejar de llamarse el noveno planeta del sistema solar. Este no acepta y deberá de conocer a Caronte, al Cometa Halley, a un asteroide, a una estrella y a la gran Nube de Oort para comprender la importancia de ser único y necesario en este grandioso espacio llamado, Universo.

Book Description
THE BRILLIANT NOVEL THAT LAUNCHED THE VARLEY PHENOMENON The invaders came in 2050…They did not kill anyone outright. they said they came on behalf of the intelligent species of Earth—dolphins and whales.
