Harpercollins

"The Tunnel" is the confession of Juan Pablo Castel, a painter and convicted murderer, who tells how his tormented love for Maria Irebarne compelled him to stab her to death. With the relentless logic of obsession, he seals himself within his paranoia and is driven deeper into his "tunnel" with no light, no end, only a descent into hellish isolation. This book is the first of a trilogy and the feature film of "The Tunnel" will be premiered in 1988 in America (spring) and Europe (autumn). Ernesto Sabato was born in Argentina and in 1985 won the Miguel de Cervantes Prize (equivalent to the Nobel Prize for literature in Hispanic languages).

An Ark for the Next Millennium: Poems (Texas Pan American Series) (English and Spanish Edition)

Jose Emilio Pacheco, the most talented poet of his generation, often writes poems in which animals act as his alter ego, conveying his perceptions - sometimes comic, often tragic - of the human condition. His Album de zoologia, of which this is the English version, gives voice to myriad creatures who inhabit land, sea, air, and even (mythically) fire. Through their perceptions, the poet challenges much of what is dark in the human psyche - cruelty toward ourselves and other life forms, destruction of the fragile world that all living creatures share.

If a picture paints a thousand words, a poem can evoke a thousand images. In this illustrated, bilingual volume of poetry, two of Mexico's most prominent artists, poet and painter, join their words and images of animals to create a work of startling insight and beauty. José Emilio Pacheco, the most talented poet of his generation, often writes poems in which animals act as his alter ego, conveying his perceptions of the human condition. His Album de zoología, of which this is the English version, gives voice to myriad creatures who inhabit land, sea, air, and even (mythically) fire. Through their perceptions, the poet challenges much of what is dark in the human psyche--cruelty toward ourselves and other life forms, destruction of the fragile world that all living creatures share. Francisco Toledo, acknowledged as Mexico's foremost painter, also creates ceramics, tapestries, graphics, frescoes, and sculpture. His art is erotic, exuberant, and vital--rich with figures from nature, no few of which are drawn from the millenary Zapotec culture of his forebears. In An Ark for the Next Millennium, Toledo's arresting black-and-white drawings are the visual expression of Pacheco's wise, foolish, besieged, threatening, and threatened animals--our brothers and sisters on this imperiled planet.
