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.

How to Improve Writing Skills With Sentence Openers

Take the following plain sentence:

Louise rushed to the bathroom where she scrubbed her hands throughly.

And compare it to the same sentence, but preceded by a ‘nominative absolute’ as opener:


Hands trembling, Louise rushed to the bathroom where she
scrubbed her hands thoroughly.


Here’s another example:


Eyes narrowed, fists clenched, lips trembling, he waited in the dark.
