A magical story that confronts the conflicting roles of men and women both physically and metephorically. So beautifully written that it is effortless to read. Delattre is the Gabriel Garcia Marquez of the USA.

This is not a review. I want to inform you that you have not yet posted the information about this title and the author that I sent you at least three weeks ago. Also, Woman on the Cross won ForeWord Magazine's 2001 Book of the Year Award for Literary Fiction. Could you please post this info as well, as soon as possible? Thanks, Christine Holbert

A magical, sensual brew of the mystic and the erotic, heavily peppered with Latin American magic realism. Funny, tragic and thought provoking, with enough plot twists to keep the lovers of pure story turning the pages. A great accomplishment.

The information contained in Phoenetic Readings of Songs and Arias is an absolutely necessary tool for every student of classical vocal repertoire. Not only do the authors understand what the novice singer needs, in terms of word order and pronounciation, but the information is also a very handy reference for the advanced singer and teacher. The best thing about this volume is that translations of the original word order of the original language is given, so that the student can see "how the language works" in its own word order. A great book!.

Word-By-Word Translations of Songs and Arias: Part I German and French by Coffin is an excellent resource for literal translations of both German and French Songs and Arias. In many cases the exact translation is awkward due to its syntax. In these cases, Coffin also offers a translation in English format. This book is an excellent resource for both teacher and student.
