Destino Oscuro
Una infancia marcada por la violencia y una condena para toda la eternidad rigen la vida de Destiny Hasta que escucha esa voz, ese sonido ancestral que le otorga seguridad y se convierte en su guia para sobrevivir a todo lo que aquel cruel vampiro le ha hecho. Es Nicolae, un carpatiano que sigue buscando a su dama de la luz. A pesar de que el sabe desde el primer momento que Destiny es la elegida, ella no cede ante la voluntad del misterioso ser. Se resiste a conocerlo, porque años atras confio en alguien y eso no le trajo mas que penas y miserias. Pero el es paciente: le enseña a traves de la fuerte conexion que existe en sus mentes el antiguo arte de cazar vampiros y tambien como evitar que ellos la encuentren. Quiza asi logre derribar el muro que Destiny mantiene erigido para evitar que afloren sus sentimientos. Y a lo mejor la propia Destiny consiga junto a Nicolae el camino hacia su propia redencion. / Her childhood had been a nightmare of violence and pain until she heard his voice calling out to her. Golden and seductive. The voice of an angel. He had shown her how to survive, taught her to use her unique gifts, trained her in the ancient art of hunting the vampire. Yet he could not bend her to his will, no matter how great his power..

Requiem Por Un Campesino Espanol/ Requiem for a Spanish Peasant (Destinolibro)
Requiem per un campesino espanol was first published under the title Mosen Millan in Coleccion Aquelarre,Mexico, 1953. The present text follows the first Spanish edition published by Destino, Barcelona, 1974, which bears a few minor variants, mainly in paragraph structure. It has been reprinted a number of times and translated into many languages and is one of the most widely read Spanish texts in the 20th century. This edition is aimed primarily at sixth-formers and university undergraduates and the introduction and notes have been compiled in the light of recent socio-politial topic-based syllabuses and communication studies courses. The inclusion in the introduction of a substantial section on the now out-of-print "Contraataque" (1937), the wartime narrative which contains the germ of the post-war novel, is intended to provide the student with a context for the study of the process in Sender's writing inspired by the Civil War - from explicit militant propaganda penned in the heat of battle to implicit poetic parable, historical emotion recollected in the comparative tranquillity and distance of exile. It is hoped that such a juxtaposition will illuminate both the content and literary achievement of "Requiem" .

Destinos: An Introduction to Spanish (Student Edition)
DESTINOS is an innovative beginning Spanish program based on a 26-week television series premiering on PBS in the fall of 1992. The 52 half-hour shows of the series use the powerful appeal of a uniquely Hispanic genre -- the telenovela (soap opera) -- to make language and culture come alive. The situation and context of each episode introduce students to the basic structures, language functions and vocabulary groups of Spanish that are then presented in the print materials. (Most grammar explanations and exercises are in the workbook/study guides.) This complete one-year course is designed to help students develop communicative proficiency -- listening, speaking, reading, and writing -- as well as cultural awareness in Spanish. The plot of DESTINOS is designed to engage student viewers from the very beginning. A wealthy Mexican patriarch, nearing the end of his life, reveals a secret he has kept from his family for many years. His revelation leads to some important questions that must be answered before he dies. Raquel RodrÃguez, a Mexican-American lawyer, embarks on a search for those answers, a search that takes her to Spain, Argentina, Puerto Rico, and back to Mexico. Students and viewers can join in the search -- learning Spanish and about the rich and diversified cultural context in which it is spoken throughout the world..
