Ideas About the Novel by Ortega y Gasset - my translation $3
Ideas About the Novel is a prophetic book. Years before academics and critics attempted to analyze the problems of the Novel, Jose Ortega y Gasset dissected it —and to some extent saved it— by pointing out that (1) the novel should show and not tell (2) the novel should move from plot to character, and (3) the novel as a non-transcendent art form—and much more.
Torquemada at the Stake by Perez Galdos- my translation $3
Next to Cervantes, Benito Perez Galdos is the most beloved Spanish writer of all times. In creating the anti-hero Torquemada, Galdos created a prototype that will endure the generations to come. Don Francisco Torquemada, usurer, business man, loving father, and tormented soul--is a character of unmatched peaks and psychological valleys. This fresh translation captures the experiences of 19th Century life in Madrid; all in contemporary English.
Lazarillo of Tormes - my translation $3
Read it in contemporary English -- No Thous, Thees, or King James' Bible language. Transliterated into easy language for enjoyable reading pleasure. Because The Lazarillo of Tormes pointed a new direction, European and American literature benefited with titles that today are considered classics: Cervantes’ Rinconete and Cortadillo; Daniel Defoe’s Moll Flanders, Henry Fielding’s Tom Jones and Joseph Andrews; Tobias Smollett’s Roderick Random, and Peregrine Pickle; Voltaire’s Candide; Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield. And many others to include American works ranging from Mark Twain to Saul Bellow.
Dehumanization of Art by Ortega y Gasset - my translation $3
The Dehumanization of Art— is now a constant in music, literature, aesthetics, and philosophy, having come to mean that in post-modern times human-shaped mimesis (representation of the human) is irrelevant to art. According to Ortega, the arts don't have to tell a human story; art should deal with its own forms—and not with the human form.
Sentence Openers
How writers open their sentences makes prose agile, interesting, and athletic. This e-book teaches how to break the pattern Subject-verb-object--and discard openings that begin with nouns, articles, and pronouns.
East of Tiffany's - bestseller $5
With the city as its backdrop "East of Tiffany's" is filled with earnest tales of love, loss, faith, success and morality. While business terminology is interwoven throughout these short stories, it's not business lessons that I take away with me, but life lessons. The circumstances and the characters' profound humanity are relatable despite their zip code . "Luke, Postmodern Man" offers a new vista into faith, suffering, and love of neighbor. Way after you read this book you'll find yourself thinking about the various characters throughout the series of stories and will find solace in their unwavering faith. The narrators' ability to reflect on their hardships with such serenity is inspiring.

A Cool Site: Story of My life

By accident I stumbled into this wonderful site: "Story of My Life -- Keep your story forever."

Not knowing what to expect, nor having anything to lose, I registered and promptly posted a few stories. A few days later I checked the site and I was stunned to see the number of readers that had viewed my stories.

In total, and in less than a month more than 190,000 people have read my work. This is incredible to me, since I'm used to seeing very low traffic even in the most reputed sites such as ezines, articledashboard, of everyonesarticles.

Excited about this newfound readership I've been helping the site by posting the statistic via Twitter. This is my 140 Twitter message:
marciano540 Incredible! This PM 33,724 (yesterday 29,141) views of my story --If you like to write, publish in this site It's FREE: http://bit.ly/4PW1pE

Within minutes, the power of Twitter sends hundreds of new readers. As a result, I'm getting e-mails, and affiliates for the sale of my e-book. "Story of My Life" is set up as a foundation. I don't know whether they are getting donations or not, or whether they are making any money. All I know is that it is a great service.

They tell you in their front page: "If you have stories to tell. Story of My Life makes it easy and fun to create and share your favorite memories – stories, pictures, videos & more - and preserve them Forever!"

In due time I will make a donation and also upgrade so that they can stay in business. Meanwhile, take a look and see for yourself. If you are a writer, or want to be one, there's the place to post your stories. Some stories and well written and others are amateurish. Yet no one is nasty about it. Most of the comments I read are from people who love to write and encourage others to keep writing. Go and check it out.
The writing techniques I use in this article are all explained in Mary Duffy's writing manual--an indispensable guide:
