This collection includes a rich variety of approaches to Southerners' complex understandings of change and developments reflected in the literature, history, and culture of this distinctive region. Contributors from both sides of the Atlantic address introspective journeys of literary pilgrimage, shed new light on the history of the civil rights movement as well as its reflection in literature, analyse transactions from literature to film, trace religious pilgrimages in both history and film, and follow a host of authors and literary figures on their journeys through the South or their forced or voluntary flight from it, in search of other places where they might find refuge or where they might sow the seeds of a new beginning.

"Another Study of Woman" is a narrative hovering between a short story and a novella in terms of length, extracted from Honore de Balzac's multi-volume masterpiece The Human Comedy. At a private dinner party, guests warmed by the flush of fine food and drink begin to banter about the qualities and attributes that characterize the ideal woman. Gradually, the guests begin to reminisce about their own experiences and encounters with perfect and not-so-perfect women. Throughout the entertaining back-and-forth, Balzac presents a number of keen insights about the social mores governing women's behavior in nineteenth-century Europe.

La historia de Chile precolombino posee aristas ocultas a simple vista, acontecimientos infravalorados de distintos protagonistas indígenas que trabajaron en la construcción del país desde sus cimientos. Vitacura, Curaca de la Piedra Grande, título premiado con el primer lugar en el VI Concurso Literario del Cementerio Metropolitano 2021, nos narra los primeros pasos a la actual civilización chilena a través de una emocionante novela histórica con matices ficticios que enaltecen la participación del pueblo quechua en la fundación de Santiago y de nuestra nación, dando un merecido lugar al legado del Tahuantinsuyo y a personajes históricos menos conocidos, pero esenciales en la conformación de lo que somos hoy.Un interesante recorrido por los tiempos antiguos donde las conquistas bélicas, las alianzas, el amor por la tierra, su pueblo y la devoción a los dioses dan vida a Wichaq Kuraq, el ingenioso inca de la Piedra Grande.

Er hatte sie verraten! Er, Aaron, hatte sie alle verraten! Nun kannte Kratos ihren Plan und würde ihnen zuvorkommen. Und das alles war seine Schuld. Dabei stand so unglaublich viel auf dem Spiel. Aber auch wenn die Chancen verschwindend gering waren, mussten sie es versuchen. Sie würden sich ihm stellen, ihm gegenübertreten – Kratos höchstpersönlich – und sie würden sich die gestohlenen Elementensteine zurückholen. Denn das war ihre einzige Chance zu überleben. Doch dafür müssen sie nach Gorgon reisen – ins Land der Schatten – dorthin, wo der Tod an jeder Ecke lauerte.
