Diadem


Book Description

A dark, unrelenting force...a magical world unlocked...a forbidden love...and a secret yearning for power. The dark forces that followed Lyra and Terrin on their journey haven't disappeared. In fact, they've made it very clear that won’t be stopping until they get what they want--Lyra. Not one to give up easily, Lyra has teamed up with a strong, testy Fae woman named Freydis. Together, along with Terrin, they must return to Eclipsa to recruit the Fae and other magical folk for help if they want any chance of defeating the Dark Master and his army. There, Lyra will be awakened to a wild part of her identity that lay dormant for years. The deeper she goes in her journey, she feels herself changing, strengthening, something dark and volatile unfurling within her. Perhaps her new power is the secret to defeating the Dark Master; perhaps it’s the yearning to join him.




The Queen's Diadem


Book Description

Almqvist's great novel of 1834 appears at long last in English translation. Although a German translation appeared over 50 years ago, the Swedish classic has been neglected in the English-speaking world. This is all the more remarkable because the novel has rightly been regarded by the Swedish critics as one of the absolute masterpieces of Scandinavian prose, and because the sensational event on which it is centred -- the assassination of King Gustaf III in 1792 -- is familiar to an international opera audience through the Verdi opera Un ballo in maschera.

Diadem: Selected Poems


Book Description

Marosa di Giorgio has one of the most distinct and recognizable voices in Latin American poetry. Her surreal and fable-like prose poems invite comparison to Franz Kafka, Julio Cortázar, or even contemporary American poets Russell Edson and Charles Simic. But di Giorgio's voice, imagery, and themes—childhood, the Uruguayan countryside, a perception of the sacred—are her own. Previously written off as "the mad woman of Uruguayan letters," di Giorgio's reputation has blossomed in recent years. Translator Adam Giannelli's careful selection of poems spans the enormous output of di Giorgio's career to help further introduce English-language readers to this vibrant and original voice. Marosa di Giorgio was born in Salto, Uruguay, in 1932. Her first book Poemas was published in 1953. Also a theater actress, she moved to Montevideo in 1978, where she lived until her death in 2004.
