Book excerpt: Italo Calvino's beloved, intricately crafted novel about an Emperor's travels—a brilliant journey across far-off places and distant memory. “Cities, like dreams, are made of desires and fears, even if the thread of their discourse is secret, their rules are absurd, their perspectives deceitful, and everything conceals something else.” In a garden sit the aged Kublai Khan and the young Marco Polo—Mongol emperor and Venetian traveler. Kublai Khan has sensed the end of his empire coming soon. Marco Polo diverts his host with stories of the cities he has seen in his travels around the empire: cities and memory, cities and desire, cities and designs, cities and the dead, cities and the sky, trading cities, hidden cities. As Marco Polo unspools his tales, the emperor detects these fantastic places are more than they appear.

Book excerpt: This volume offers a detailed analysis of selected cases in the reception, translation and artistic reinterpretation of Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities (1972) around the world.

Book excerpt: Una lucha feroz contra la camisa de fuerza impuesta a las mujeres por el patriarcado y las religiones Valiente, lúcida y sincera, Joumana Haddad aborda en El tercer sexo su obra más ambiciosa: un ensayo en el que apuesta por deconstruir la sociedad actual, asentada en valores y medidas artificiales como el dinero, la raza o el género, para reconstruirla a partir de aquello que es inherente al ser humano y que nos hace auténticos: nuestra humanidad. "Es sólo nuestra humanidad, es decir, nuestro 'núcleo' lo que hace que la comparación (e incluso la discriminación, me atrevería a decir) entre nosotros sea aceptable, en lugar de adoptar nuestras 'cortezas' como base para la evaluación. Con mucho gusto aceptaría vivir en un mundo en donde dijéramos: 'Esta persona es más humana que esa persona', pero no en uno en donde decimos: 'Esta persona es más blanca que esa persona'".
