    Beneficio Duran is like the wild lava-capped mesa where he lived all but the last two years of his 83. They are both remnants of the past. Black Mesa survived eons of erosion by its hard basaltic cap - Beneficio survived by living with the pride and rough wisdom of los Castizos, his ancestors. On the mesa, he had been isolated from pressures and forces that were changing New Mexico and the other Hispanics living on and off the land grants.Beneficio discovered his wife, Maria, in the village of Cebolleta at the base of Black Mesa. Maria bore him Philip and then died while trying to deliver a girl child four years later. Beneficio's devotion to God and El Christo, coupled with the deep grief of Maria's death, caused him to embrace the penitence-oriented beliefs of "The Brotherhood of Blood and Light" (Penitente).Philip lived on the Mesa only until he started school in Cebolleta. There, he lived with his father's boyhood friend Emilio and Emilio's Indian wife, Rebecca. Philip Duran left the land grant for college and there discovered city life. He became a successful Hispanic businessman and married Carla, an Anglo. They have two teenaged children. Philip is a state senator and has ambitions toward being governor. His fear is that his sheepherder father will embarrass him politically with his land-grant ways and ancient Penitente beliefs. Philip has placed Beneficio in an Albuquerque rest home with the self-justification of "taking care of Papa".Castizo begins with Beneficio Duran cutting the branch end of the needled cholla plant in an arroyo near Albuquerque. He plans to tie the spiny branch to the leather thongs of his self-flagellation whip. Should Beneficio succeed in finding a Penitente brotherhood, he hopes to join them in their Good Friday and Easter rites. Beneficio feels that he needs the pain of self-flagellation and the subsequent healing to be at peace with his troubled spirit. Desperate to find a Penitente brothe ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Little Century is a charged and eloquent novel about a young woman caught in the midst of the range wars in the American West at the turn of the century. Orphaned after the death of her mother, 18-year-old Esther Chambers heads west in search of her only living relative. In the lawless frontier town of Century, Oregon, she’s met by a sunburnt, laconic cattle wrangler: her distant cousin, Ferris Pickett. Within days, Esther is perjuring herself at the county clerk’s office, swearing that she is 21 and ready for the rigors of homesteading. Pick leads her to a tiny cabin that shows daylight at the chinks, and Esther begins her new life on the small lake called Half-a-Mind. If she can hold out for five years, the land will join Pick’s already impressive spread. Land - there’s a lot of it wide-open in Century but, somehow, not enough. Esther has arrived in the middle of a range war; it’s cattle against sheep, and water’s at a premium. Small incidents of violence swiftly escalate; before long, blood spills on the dry ground, and the railroad starts to think twice about laying tracks through Century. No railroad means no town, something Pick and his men will go to any lengths to prevent. Meanwhile, Esther finds her sympathies divided between her cousin and a sheepherder named Ben Cruff, a sworn enemy of the cattle ranchers. As her passion for Ben and her land grows, she begins to see how at odds these things are with her cousin’s own interests. She can’t be loyal to both; at some point she’ll have to make a terrible choice. Little Century maps our country’s cutthroat legacy of dispossession and greed; it also celebrates the ecstatic visions of what America could become. Through Esther’s story, which veers between triumph and heartbreak, we see the American West as it was being forged. In the tradition of classics like My Ántonia and There Will Be Blood, Little Century is a resonant and moving debut novel by ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tavia Gilbert.
