'La sublevación de Martínez' es un cuento de Blasco Ibáñez que, con un tono irónico, describe los avatares de un humilde hombre del campo mejicano que utiliza la revolución para medrar en la vida. Iletrado, megalómano y dominado por su mujer, la escalada en el poder de Doroteo Martínez refleja la deriva de los movimientos revolucionarios tan comunes en la historia temprana de la República Mejicana. Y si la narración denuncia el caos y la arbitrariedad de las instituciones en Méjico, el retrato del protagonista y de su mujer, la temible Guadalupe, mujer de carácter que ha hecho la guerra con su marido, nos ofrece una mirada divertida pero descarnada a los protagonistas de un tiempo convulso.

'La sublevación de Martínez' is a short story by Blasco Ibáñez that, with an ironic tone, describes the adventures of a humble man from the Mexican countryside who uses the revolution to get ahead in life. Illiterate, megalomaniac and dominated by his wife, Doroteo Martínez's rise to power reflects the drift of the revolutionary movements so common in the early history of the Mexican Republic. And if the author denounces the chaos and arbitrariness of Mexico's institutions, the portrait of the protagonist and his wife, the fearsome Guadalupe, a woman of character who has gone to war with her husband, offers an amusing but stark look at the protagonists of a convulsive time.

'El préstamo de la difunta' narra la historia de Rosalindo Ovejero, un arriero pobre de un valle de los Andes argentinos que, por un incidente en Salta, debe huir cruzando la Punta de Atacama hasta las minas de sal de Chile. En su camino, adquiere una deuda con una difunta, que vendrá a reclamársela apareciéndosele meses después. El relato no solo resulta interesante por lo que cuenta sino por cómo lo cuenta y por el trasfondo que dibuja, desde las tradiciones andinas, al sincretismo cultural y religioso de los protagonistas. Vicente Blasco Ibáñez nunca deja un estilo de narración realista, pero según avanza la historia va recogiendo elementos sobrenaturales que ha ido sembrando en el relato, para terminar sumergiendo al lector en las ensoñaciones del protagonista. Una historia terrorífica y divertida a la vez.

'El préstamo de la difunta' tells the story of Rosalindo Ovejero, a poor muleteer from a valley in the Argentine Andes who, due to an incident in Salta, must flee across the Punta de Atacama to the salt mines of Chile. On his way, he acquires a debt with a deceased woman, who will come to claim it, appearing to him months later. The story is not only interesting for what it tells but also for how it tells it and for the background it draws, from the Andean traditions to the cultural and religious syncretism of the protagonists. Vicente Blasco Ibáñez never leaves a realistic narrative style, but as the story progresses he picks up supernatural elements that he has been sowing in the story, to end up immersing the reader in the protagonist's reverie. A terrifying and funny story at the same time.

Las meditaciones metafísicas de Descartes tienen como principal objetivo la demostración de Dios y la inmortalidad del alma mediante razonamientos lógicos y de definir las bases del conocimiento del momento con el fin de disponerlo sobre unas bases más sólidas de las que había hasta entonces.
Descartes también estudiará la naturaleza dual del hombre compuesta por la “res cogitans” (pensamiento) y la “res extensa” (cuerpo). En resumen y en palabras del autor, podríamos decir que Descartes busca encontrar “la verdad” de las cosas a través de la razón.
Publisher’s Note:
Two years ago, when we published Pranab Raha’s collection of essays ‘Akopat’, we promised the readers that we will bring more of his works in the future. Hence, we are pleased to bring you his second published audiobook ‘Charminar’.
‘Charminar’ is a collection of four short and long stories by the author that are basically satirical in nature.
In this book, he has brought out the subtle aspects of human character in a humorous approach. Like all his writings, these stories too, have an unspoken hidden message, that a sophisticated reader would have no difficulty in grasping.
We hope that ‘Charminar’, like the author’s first book ‘Akopat’ published by us will be well received by the readers.
Author’s Note:
The intersection of time and technology has brought about some changes in the way people consume literature. Recognizing this change, I have published an audiobook of four stories, embracing this transformation.
However, for enthusiastic readers, the printed hard copy of the book will also be made available very soon.
Since the four stories are narrated by four different narrators in distinct styles, the stories do not possess the same qualities in all aspects.
Nevertheless, if the stories provide an enjoyable listening experience, then the efforts and contributions of those involved in this endeavour, although somewhat limited, will be worthwhile.

Was the greatest love story of all time a lie?
Romeo Montague is handsome and charming and the first time he sees young Rosaline Capulet, who has secretly snuck into his family's masquerade summer ball, he falls instantly in love.
At first Rosaline is unsure of Romeo's attentions but with her father determined that she join the nunnery, Romeo offers her the chance of a different life. Gradually he convinces her that only true love could make him feel this way, that he is enraptured by her beauty. Indeed, he cannot live without her!
And so begins the story of Romeo and Rosaline. These star-crossed lovers must keep everything hidden from Rosaline's family, at least until they are wed. But when a destitute young girl appears, claiming to be carrying Romeo's child, Rosaline starts to doubt all that she has been told. And as whispers of more girls reach her ears, what once felt like a courtship begins to feel more like a pursuit.
As Rosaline recognises Romeo for the villain he truly is, his gaze turns suddenly towards Rosaline's adored and beautiful cousin, thirteen-year old Juliet.
Can Rosaline save Juliet, who falls under Romeo's spell just as quickly as she did? Or can this story only ever end one way?
The subversive, powerful untelling of Shakespeare's best know tale. A fierce, forgotten voice: this is Rosaline's story.
This play is a dramatization of Boccaccio’s story of Gillette of Narbonne. Only the comic parts were of Shakespeare’s invention; he added the characters of the pusillanimous Parolles, the lofty courtier Lafew, the Clown Lavatch, and the long suffering Countess. He gave new depth and vitality to the leading characters, who are mere outlines in Boccaccio’s tale.
The comedy has for its heroine a young woman who loves the haughty Bertram with an unrequited and despised passion, cures the King of France of a dangerous sickness, claims as her reward the right to choose a husband from among the courtiers, chooses Bertram, is repudiated by him, and, after a nocturnal meeting at which she takes the place of another woman whom he believes himself to have seduced, at last overcomes his resistance and is acknowledged as his wife.
In Helena, Shakespeare drew a portrait of familiar type of loving and cruelly maltreated womanhood—the woman who suffers everything in inexhaustible tenderness and humility, and never falters in her love until in the end she wins the rebellious heart.
