During the nineteenth century both Brazil and France claimed the territory between the rivers Oiapoque and Araguari, today the Brazilian state of Amapa. It is an immense region of unknown and mysterious forests, with waterfalls along great rivers that run south to the Amazon or east to the Atlantic Ocean. After gold was discovered in the legendary Calcoene River, prospectors, swindlers, heroes and drifters rushed to the region. That vacant wilderness came to be a bloody frontier of violence and passion where claims wealth and women were fought over. In that world lived Saraminda, who became an unquenchable thirst for the men who encountered her.

Melo, João De

Soledad awakes to find herself invisible, standing in the middle of Mexico City. Is she really invisible, or have others just stopped seeing her? Prisoner of her passions--to change identity, to be the object of someone's desire, to disappear--Soledad always ends up with her wishes coming true, but along with their dark, unforeseen side. This novel describes the undercurrents of the mysterious, often cruel streets of downtown Mexico City, where the blind can see, ghosts talk to those who will listen, and shadows both ancient and modern meld together to create this initiation into sex, love and madness.

Outdoorsman Andrew Keith relates three trips at unique points of his life: down the Mississippi River to New Orleans; through the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, eventually to Hudson Bay; and through the Great Lakes to the St. Lawrence Seaway. From the solitude of the deep wilderness to chance encounters with strangers who offer shelter or a meal, from windblown days exploring unspoiled islands to frightening spills in whitewater rapids, from the sight of wolves and polar bears to the scent of salt marshes and pine forests, Keith describes a geographical and spiritual journey.

This novel is based upon the true story of Mariana Alcoforado, sent to a convent during Portugal's revolt against Spain in the seventeenth century, where she conducts an all-consuming love affair with a French cavalry officer. After being abandoned, she writes him a series of passionate love letters--translated and included here--that become famous throughout Europe during her lifetime, and thereafter. Artists from the poet Rilke and the novelist Stendhal to the painters Matisse and Modigliani have made her one of the world's great romantic icons.
