Love Lies By: Marcia Shein The story turns on the main character Marisa and her love for a drug dealer working for a Colombian cartel. Damian is rich and powerful and seduces Marisa with stories that he will take her out of her poverty and stagnant life. She falls in love with the dream of adventure, travel and money. She has no idea of Damian’s true name or past. Marisa is blinded by love to the truth until her accidental arrest, when Damian, in desperation sets into motion, with Marisa’s brother, William, a daring escape from a federal prison in order to keep her from cooperating against him. Damian’s web of lies takes Marisa on a dangerous adventure of betrayal. Once she begins to see what Damian has planned she is desperate to get help and turn her life around. She enlists the help of her attorney in Atlanta who also ends up entangled in Damian’s web. Little does Marisa know that Damian will track her down—from New York to Colombia—and do anything to stop her from betraying him. To escape, Marisa and her friends will risk everything, as will Damian. Who wins in the end will take you on a rollercoaster ride of danger and intrigue.

Russian Tales of Demonic Possession

Translations of Savva Grudtsyn and Solomonia

By: Marcia A. Morris

Russian Tales of Demonic Possession: Translations of Savva Grudtsyn and Solomonia is a translation from the Russian of two stories of demonic possession, of innocence lost and regained. The original versions of both tales date back to the seventeenth century, but the feats of suffering and triumph described in them are timeless. Aleksei Remizov, one of Russia’s premiere modernists, recognized the relevance of the late-medieval material for his own mid-twentieth-century readers and rewrote both tales, publishing them in 1951 under the title The Demoniacs. The volumeoffers a new translation of the original Tale of Savva Grudtsyn as well as first-ever translations of The Tale of The Demoniac Solomonia and Remizov’s Demoniacs. Russian Tales of Demonic Possession opens with an introduction that interprets and contextualizes both the late-medieval and the twentieth-century tales. By providing new critical interpretations of all four tales as well as a short discussion of the history of demons in Russia, this introduction makes an eerily exotic world accessible to today’s English-speaking audiences. Savva Grudtsyn and Solomonia, the protagonists of the two tales, are young people poised on the threshold of adulthood. When demons suddenly appear to confront and overmaster them, each of them teeters on the brink of despair in a world filled with chaos and temptation. The Tale of Savva Grudtsyn and The Tale of the Demoniac Solomonia propel us forcibly into the realm of good and evil and pose hard questions: Why does evil afflict us? How does it manifest itself? How can it be overcome? Aleksey Remizov’s modernist re-castings of the two stories offer compelling evidence that these same questions are very much with us today and are still in need of answers.
