Dryness, paleness, waking, sighing, despair, frenzy, death: loves repercussions can be dire indeed. Perhaps that is why Robert Burton devoted the largest part of his pioneering 17th-century psychological work, The Anatomy of Melancholy, to this supreme passion. Edited to offer the modern reader easier access to this classic text, this abridged version preserves all the fantastic variety of the original, as Burton knits together stories and quotations drawn from millennia of European literature in order to understand loves causes, consequences, and cures.We encounter gods and goddesses, ancient kings and queens, lascivious monks and pure-hearted shepherds, marriages happy and unhappy, allurements natural and unnatural, and, most importantly, many cures for love-melancholy, from the obvious to the arcane. Intricate yet commonsensical, learned yet earthy, and twinkling throughout with ironic warmth, Burtons masterpiece speaks to the deepest concerns of the human heart as well today as it did four centuries ago.

TELENOVELA explores the secret lives of a family swept up in the final days of Pinochets dictatorship in Chile. There is Lucho: bullied by fellow soldiers for his love of poetry, thwarted in his ambitions to become a writer. He seems like a loving father. He seems loveable. And maybe he is. But as TELENOVELA unfolds, other things come to light about Lucho that are less easy to indulge or forgive. There is Ramona, Luchos wife: tormented by anxiety, overwhelmed by body image problems. Ramona once hoped to become a telenovela star; she secretly daydreams that she might still get her big break. She seems like an innocent. But is she? Then there is Pablo, their son: dreamy, gentle, eager to form his own band and write some worthwhile songs. Desperate to be cool... And increasingly, just desperate. These people are deeply human - but Telenovela makes us understand how inhumane they can also be. How easy it is to be complicit in authoritarian regimes - and how personal stories can take on universal significance..
