Lina Meruane nos expone a los sentidos materiales y metafóricos de esta palabra a través de una multitud de madres e hijas insaciables, de hermanas incisivas, de amigas y amantes afiladas así como de hombres salvajes y animales cuya hambre alimenta el amor y el odio, la miseria y el castigo, el resentimiento, el perdón.

But illness, and other demands on his diminished strength, continued to interfere, and what is now published is all that he had succeeded in writing when he died in August, 1910. - Summary by Henry James, Jr.

The listener will want to be aware that modern historians of medicine are much more positive about the contributions of medieval Arabic medical teachers than the author of this book. - ...

Early on, I learned that telling the truth didn't get you the same quick reward as telling them what they wanted to hear, being assiduously charming, dissimulating. In a word, lying. I became good at it. And I became the ...
