When it came to hunting she was a master shot. As a dress designer few could compare. An ingenious architect she innovated the use of marble in her parents' mausoleum on the banks of the Yamuna River that inspired her stepson's Taj Mahal. And she was both celebrated and reviled for her political acumen and diplomatic skill which rivaled those of her female counterparts in Europe and beyond. In 1611 thirty-four-year-old Nur Jahan daughter of a Persian noble and widow of a subversive official became the twentieth and most cherished wife of the Emperor Jahangir. While other wives were secluded behind walls Nur ruled the vast Mughal Empire alongside her husband and governed in his stead as his health failed and his attentions wandered from matters of state. An astute politician and devoted partner Nur led troops into battle to free Jahangir when he was imprisoned by one of his own officers. She signed and issued imperial orders and coins of the realm bore her name. Acclaimed historian Ruby Lal uncovers the rich life and world of Nur Jahan rescuing this dazzling figure from patriarchal and Orientalist cliches of romance and intrigue and giving new insight into the lives of women and girls in the Mughal Empire even where scholars claim there are no sources.

A hero to the likes of Llosa and Gabriel Garcia Marquez and a vital forbearer to magical realism Onetti won the Cervantes Prize in 1980. A Dream Come True beautifully translated by Katherine Silver gathers Onetti's entire body of short fiction into English for the first time. Onetti's characters drift untethered through strange places with unfamiliar people. A woman idles in a beachside hotel during a prolonged convalescence; a grandmother serves cafe-con-leche to schoolboys resembling her lost grandson. In these mysterious dream-like stories everything is gestured at nothing plainly told. Each offers a brief glimpse into the life of one of Onetti's vast cast of unusual characters intimately rendering their sorrows fears and joys"-- Provided by publisher. ; Synopsis: A Dream Come True collects the complete stories of Juan Carlos Onetti presenting his existentialist complex and ironic style over the course of his writing career. Onetti was praised by Latin America's greatest authors and regarded as an inventor of a new form and school of writing. Juan Carlos Onetti's A Dream Come True depicts a sharp coherent literary voice encompassing Onetti's early stages of writing and his later texts. They span from a few pages in "Avenida de Mayo - Diagonal - Avenida de Mayo" to short novellas like the celebrated detective story "The Face of Disgrace" and "Death and the Girl" an existential masterpiece that explores the complexity of violence and murder in the mythical town of Santa María. His stories create a world of writing which is both universal and highly local mediating between philosophical characters and the quotidian melodrama of Uruguayan villages. ; Juan Carlos Onetti Borges was a Uruguayan novelist and author of short stories. ; Contents: Avenida de Mayo - Diagonal - Avenida de Mayo -- Obstacle -- Possible Baldi -- Tragic end of Alfredo Plumet -- Perfect crime -- Convalescence -- Dream come true -- Masquerade -- Welcome Bob -- Long tale -- Ninth of July : Independence Day -- Back to the South -- Esbjery by the Sea -- House in the Sand -- Album -- Tale of the Rosenkavalier and the Pregnant Virgin from Liliput -- Most Dreaded Hell -- Face of Disgrace -- Jacob and the Other -- As Sad as She -- On the Thirty-First -- Kidnapped Bride -- Matias the Telegraph Operator -- Twins -- Death and the Girl -- Dogs will have their Day -- Presencia -- Friends -- Soap -- Cat -- Marketplace -- Piggy -- Full Moon -- Tomorrow will be Another Day -- Tree -- Montiagne -- Ki no Tsurayuki -- Shotgun -- She -- Araucaria -- At Three in the Morning -- Imposter -- Kisses -- Her Hand -- Back and Forth -- Ti me dai la cosa me io te do la cosa te -- Cursed Springtime -- Beachcomber -- Visit -- Saint Joseph ; FINE <br/> <br/> Brooklyn, NY : Archipelago Books, 2019. paperback‎
