SCENT by: Jennie S. Redling My fingers Stroke old artwork, Programs I designed once to Align myself with small theatre companies where I, in fact, longed to act, Frail now and filed away atop a closet Unable to disengage, I've Allowed them life out of sight But this morning I lightly breathe The scent of sadness and dread arising surprisingly from these leftovers Of that forsaken time when I was A glass blown to a hair's breadth aching for life to Pervade me, or simply consolation Failing to find what sent me searching, I swiftly press the pages Into their folder, to close tight again Against the bite of fresh, trenchant Memory.

newspaper dance by: Dr. Joem Antonio DANIELLE: Tell me honestly: Before we were officially...us, was I too aggressive? Did I bully you into becoming my boyfriend? Was it so obvious that I really liked you all that much, that I was extra nice, especially to you? [Pause.] I hope you understand that I’m shedding a lot of pride right now. [BEN is quiet for a while.] BEN: You always were aggressive. Assertive, actually. That was your selling point. Is. DANIELLE: Selling point? BEN: [Defensively.] Not the best term, but you know what I mean. [DANIELLE doesn’t buy it.] What attracts me to you. [Pause.] As to why we got together, I can think up of so many reasons, but in the end it boils to just one—we both wanted to be together. DANIELLE: But now you want us to drift apart. BEN: No. You did. At least, I thought you did. How was I to know that you actually wanted me to run after you? You can’t expect me to read your actions that far. DANIELLE: So you wouldn’t fight for us? Is that it? BEN: I can’t force you to choose otherwise! With what you do with your toes, your legs... your clothes, no matter what I say matters; it’s still going to be your choice in the end! Short of pointing a gun at you, how far would you have wanted me to go? DANIELLE: As far as I would go for you. If you decided to break up with me, do you think I’d just sit on my hands and cry? [Pause.] Definitely I would cry. But I wouldn’t let anything I value so much slip from my hands just like that.

MEXICAN LITERATURE carlos fuentes Mr. Fuentes was one of the most respected writers in the Spanish- speaking world, a driving force behind the burst of Latin American literature known as El Boom in the 1960s and 1970s, along with Gabriel Garca Márquez, Mario Vargas Llosa, and Julio Cortázar. He authored plays, short tales, political essays, and novels, Mr. Fuentes was ideological rather than political. Mmany of which were love stories. Regardless of party affiliation, he was a supporter of justice and basic human rights. exico's dynamic history and political turbulence have always had a significant part in the fluctuation of Mexican authors. Mexico's original literature stretches back to Mesoamerican indigenous communities, but with the entrance of the Spanish, many baroque writers couldn't help but depict a more particular image of Mexican culture. The literature of New Spain was heavily influenced by the Spanish Renaissance, which was symbolized in all Spanish literature of the time, and native productions also implemented numerous terms frequently used in the viceroyalty's dialect, and some of the issues discussed in the works of the period shaped an unique variant of Spanish literature produced in Mexico.

THE MAN WITH HIS BACK TURNED by: Agustín Cadena The first hypothesis was that there was a ghost in the house and it could only become visible through the rose mirror. But when they took the mirror to other locations, the figure facing away remained the same. The family was mystified. They wanted to find an explanation for this thing. Finally they arrived at a conclusion: the man with his back turned lived in the mirror. They didn't want to know more. All they wanted was to get rid of him. Dani went to sell the mirror back to the vender from whom she'd bought it. He looked at her steadily with an enigmatic smile and offered her less than half what she'd paid for it. But Daniela wasn't inclined to bargain. She was already walking away from the booth when she chanced to hear the man murmuring, as if talking to the mirror: \"Back again.\"

EMBRACING WATERS by: Kaori Ekuni Eventually I fell asleep crying, by the time I woke up it was already evening. The apartment was spotless; there wasn’t a speck of dust left anywhere. “Why don’t you take a bath?” Mustuki suggested. “Let’s go out for dinner since its Christmas,” I said. Why did it always have to be like this? Mustuki was so kind and sweet. It was kind of hard to take at time. “Mustuki?” Next year, I thought, ill cook us something special. “What?” “Let’s get a Christmas tree next year.” Mustuki laughed, generous and warm and carefree as always.” Well, it’s still this year and here’s your gift,” he said, handing me a small package. I untied the green ribbon and unwrapped the white paper. Inside was a small and delicate to be an egg beater. “It’s a champagne stirrer,” Mustsuki explained. It was for stirring up pretty little bubbles in your champagne. “It’s wonderful.” I said. Let’s go out and get some really good champagne, and drink it tonight,” I said, but Mustuki shook his head. “You don’t need this for good champagne. “A stirrer for making bubbles in cheap champagne. What a neat idea for a gift! I was impressed. His first gift to me had been teddy bear. It was a light pink color, a replica of an antique, and it came in a huge box wrapped in a ribbon. Mustuki gave it to me the day after we first meet. The second was a globe made of transparent plastic. I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. I found it one day in a stationary shop where I was shopping for notebooks, and he bought it for me on the spot. He always knew what to get me.

FRENCH LITERATURE French literature began when writers started using the dialects that had evolved from the Latin spoken in the parts of the Roman Empire that would become France. For ages, French literature, one of the most brilliant in the world, has been an amazing feature of French civilization, an object of national pride, and a primary focus for sentiments of national identity. Because the French are a literate people who are enthusiastic about language and the investigation of ideas, the effect of French intellectuals on the path of French history during the previous three centuries has been enormous and continues to be so now. alexandre dumas He was the father (père) of the dramatist and novelist Possibly the greatest French writer of Alexandre Dumas, called Dumas fils. all time.

UNDENIABLE THINGS by: Nanni Cagnone LXII Finite space, rim of a drum. It would help to incarnate while you can, to glean light even after nightfall, take a stroll in the mist and never leave the moment alone, or it stings everything. At the end, at the end of the surging sunset, in the insecure maturing burning without a grieving scheme, the solemn episode of the leaves— rustling and that’s all. Rustling.  

GREATEST PIECES american literature It is Invisible Man written by Ralph Ellison. No, it was not written by a Nobel Laureate or Pulitzer Prize winner, nor has it been around for centuries. It is a novel of substance, of layers and riffs. It might even be said to be the greatest American novel. An elusive story of and by an elusive, nameless narrator. A jazz-like play on literature, music, society, memory, and the self. A product of a voracious reader and writer. Somehow, it is all of these, perhaps one of the reasons it netted the National Book Award over The Old Man and the Sea and East of Eden. mexican literature The unrivalled classic of Mexican literature, Juan Rulfo’s Pedro Páramo (1955) received a lukewarm reception upon its initial release, before becoming the critically acclaimed novel that it is today. Pedro Páramo, which details the journey of protagonist Juan Preciado as he goes in search of his father following the death of his mother, is widely considered to be based in the real Mexican town of Comala, Colima. Notable not just for its excellent plot but for being a pre-cursor to magical realism as a whole, this novel hugely influenced Gabriel García Márquez japanese literature The Tale of Genji, written by Murasaki Shikibu, is widely agreed to be the finest work of literature in Japanese history, so much so that ukiyo-e artists of the Edo period dedicated their lives to painting visual recreations of scenes from Shikibu's novel in woodblock prints. the book is about the art of seduction. Not that any sexual act is ever mentioned; very little in Murasaki Shikibu’s prose is plainly stated. Things are suggested, alluded to, often nebulously. What counts in the seduction scenes is the art, the poetry. french literature The most famous work of perhaps the greatest French novelist, Victor Hugo, Les Miserables was an instant popular success and was quickly translated into several languages. Set in the Parisian underworld and plotted like a detective story, the novel follows the lives and interactions of several characters. Les Misérables is concerned with social issues in 19th-century urban France. Les Misérables is used to deliver critiques of wealth distribution, the justice system, industrialism, and republicanism.
