Terrorífica tensión hasta el final. La historia de tres mujeres que son perseguidas por un psicópata dispuesto a acabar con sus vidas. Apenas unos kilómetros de distancia separan a tres mujeres que no se conocen entre sí. La Pelirroja Uno es una doctora soltera de cerca de cincuenta años; la Pelirroja Dos una profesora de escuela en la treintena; y la Pelirroja Tres una estudiante de diecisiete años. Las tres son vulnerables. Las tres son el objetivo de un psicópata obsesionado por demostrar al mundo quién es él en realidad. Ahora que se acerca al final de su vida, necesita llevar a cabo su obra de arte final. Crímenes que serán estudiados en las universidades, de los que se hablará durante décadas. Crímenes perfectos... El asesino les dice a las tres mujeres que va a matarlas. No saben cuándo ni cómo ni dónde. Solo saben que él está ahí fuera, cada vez más cerca. Que lo sabe todo sobre ellas.

Although it is widely thought that structural linguistics began abruptly with the publication of Saussure's 'revolutionary' "Course in General Linguistics," the work of E. F. K. Koerner has demonstrated that Saussure, for all his originality, remained true to the basic tenets of his 19th-century predecessors. In this volume, the development of modern linguistics before, during and after Saussure is traced in 20 studies honouring the scholar who has done more than anyone else to professionalize linguistic historiography during the last quarter century. Among the wide range of topics covered are: grammar and philosophy in the age of comparativism, the relation of Saussure's anagram studies to his theory of the linguistic sign, nationalist overtones in German linguistics from 1914 to 1945, and the true story (with newly discovered documentation) of why Chomsky's "Logical Structure of Linguistic Theory" didn't get published during the 1950s or 60s. In addition to an introductory overview of Koerner's career and a complete listing of his publications, the volume includes previously unpublished materials from Saussure's notebooks.

This remarkable first novel depicts life in the small Mexican town of Ixtepec during the grim days of the Revolution. The town tells its own story against a variegated background of political change, religious persecution, and social unrest. Elena Garro, who has also won a high reputation as a playwright, is a masterly storyteller. Although her plot is dramatically intense and suspenseful, the novel does not depend for its effectiveness on narrative continuity. It is a book of episodes, one that leaves the reader with a series of vivid impressions. The colors are bright, the smells pungent, the many characters clearly drawn in a few bold strokes. Octavio Paz, the distinguished poet and critic, has written that it "is truly an extraordinnary work, one of the most perfect creations in contemporary Latin American literature."
