The Dream of the Celt-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Mario Vargas Llosa
Published by Farrar, Straus and GirouxPublished since 2012-06-05
A subtle and enlightening novel about a neglected human rights pioneer by the Nobel Laureate Mario Vargas Llosa In 1916, the Irish nationalist Roger Casement was hanged by the British government for treason.
Casement had dedicated his extraordinary life to improving the plight of oppressed peoples around the world—especially the native populations in the Belgian Congo and the Amazon—but when he dared to draw a parallel between the injustices he witnessed in African and American colonies and those committed by the British in Northern Ireland, he became involved in a cause that led to his imprisonment and execution.
Ultimately, the scandals surrounding Casement's trial and eventual hanging tainted his image to such a degree that his pioneering human rights work wasn't fully reexamined until the 1960s.
In The Dream of the Celt, Mario Vargas Llosa, who has long been regarded as one of Latin America's most vibrant, provocative, and necessary literary voices—a fact confirmed when he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2010—brings this complex character to life as no other writer can.
A masterful work, sharply translated by Edith Grossman, The Dream of the Celt tackles a controversial man whose story has long been neglected, and, in so doing, pushes at the boundaries of the historical novel.

As her country goes through almost unimaginable upheaval, Marina's own coming-of-age unfolds, marked by deep passion and devastating loss, and the private heroism of an ordinary woman living through extraordinary times.

Green Wheat-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Colette
Published by Published since 2004
Written in 1923, "Green Wheat "is set in a villa in Brittany and is a story of burgeoning sexuality.
This edition does more than meet Rogow's mark "to do justice to Colette's enormous talent," it presents a great classic to the world once again.
From the Translator's Preface: Of her more than twenty books, "Green Wheat "is perhaps Colette's most polished, most perfect.
It was in Green Wheat that she achieved an exquisite blend of two of her greatest gifts as a fiction writer--her uncanny ability to fathom the hearts of adolescents, and her skill at describing nature with the phrasing of a poet and the colors and light of a great landscape painter.
This combination helps make "Green Wheat "one of the enduring works of fiction of the last 100 years.

Ultimately, the book is a story about the loss of Eden, both of youth and of nature.

It is about the loss of a type of hope, a hope that many of us cling to, that love can somehow escape the imperfections of life.
Zack Rogow translates French literature and was a co-winner of the PEN/Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Award for "Earthlight," by Andre Breton, as well as winner of a Bay Area Book Reviewers Award (BABRA) for his translation of George Sand's novel, "Horace."
