        Reeni's Turn

        by Carol Coven Grannick

        Eleven-year-old Reeni’s world is changing. Her star-of-the-senior-class, college-bound sister has no time for her, sixth grade is full of girls into makeup and diets and crushes, and something deep inside tells Reeni it’s time to become more than a shy girl in the shadows. But when she commits to dancing a solo for her retiring ballet teacher’s final recital, her lifelong fear of performing expands along with her newly-changing body. Lunch friends convince Reeni that a diet will give her courage and self-confidence, but the diet wreaks havoc with Reeni’s life. She lies to her parents, breaks up with her best friend, and loses focus on school work and dance. Reeni faces a painful choice: should she break her commitment to solo and quit dance? Or might she have hidden strengths that could help her come out of the shadows and become the girl she wants to be?

        Cabaret Biarritz

        by José C. Vales

        NADAL PRIZE 2015 -   In the summer of 1925, the residents of Biarritz were shocked by a tragic event. The body of a young girl appeared dangling with a foot caught in one of the iron rings used for securing boats in the port. In 1938, the young, passionate writer Georges Miet receives what would turn out to be the most important assignment of his career. His editor asks him to write a ‘serious’ novel about what had taken place in Biarritz almost fifteen years earlier. Miet does not hesitate to travel to the vibrant, coastal city to speak to everyone who could have been linked to the event and comes upon people from all rungs of the social ladder; ranging from domestic employees to distinguished, high-society ladies, as well as reporters, two gendarmes, a photographer, artists, performers, a judge and even a nun. Miet interviews each person he believes to be involved, as if preparing a press feature, in order to meticulously transcribe their statements. He sketches an accurate and detailed portrait of sophisticated, outrageous Biarritz, which turns into the model setting for those golden years of the 1920s during which society sought to break with the most long-established and outdated conventions.

        Book of the Hunt

        by Gaston Phoebus

        Written between 1387 and 1389 by Gastone of Foix, the Book of the Hunt is one of the most interesting testimonies of the cultural history of this time. The four parts of the manuscript show the naturalistic knowledge at the end of the 14thcentury, based on the direct observation of the natural world. It was used as a manual of natural history up until the 19th century. The text is complemented by 87 miniatures in large format, executed by the Master of the Bedford Hours, as well as by a great number of illuminated initial letters and floral decorations that make the pages of the manuscript one of the masterworks of French miniature. The style of the miniatures is very particular, related to those of contemporary tapestries: the horizon of the scene is kept high, thus creating an ample space for the characters; the flora is described with a singular effect of relief, obtained by juxtaposing different tonalities of colour.
