Complete collection of Adrian Silisque's books
An exceptional complete collection of the publications of the Argentinian author Adrian Silisque, including his trilogy INKAKUNA and the translation of Georges Polti work: The Thirty-Six Dramatic Situations.
Inkakuna – Children of the Sun
Who were the Incas? How did they manage to expand through present-day Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia in only eighty years? What was daily life like in a civilization comparable in size to the Roman Empire?
The answers were emerging over eight years of extensive research, and narrated in literary form with real and fictitious elements. That is Inkakuna, more than fifty years of fictionalized history, the drama of the expansion and disappearance of a powerful and, despite it, fragile civilization.
Through the story of the princess Kusi Rimay Ocllo, a real character who survived the Spanish conquest, we will learn the details of the Inca nobility and the reasons that led the brothers Waskar and Ataw Wallpa to war.
Inkakuna is a book aimed at the men and women of the world who want to know a moving story that tells the end of those who called themselves Children of the Sun.
Inkakuna II – Conquest of Gold
“From a pig breeder he became a page. From page to captain. From captain he rose to marquis and became the absolute ruler of New Castile. His name was Francisco Pizarro.”
Inkakuna, the Conquest of Gold is a novel that narrates the adventure of one hundred and eighty Spaniards who yearn for glory and fortune in the recently discovered New World.
As they make their way toward the city “where the houses are plated with gold,” they must face all kinds of outrageous challenges: new languages, new customs, new gods.
In their wake, they form alliances and gain enemies. Until they enter the majestic mountains of the Andes. In the town of Caxamarca (Cajamarca) one of the greatest crimes that history has recorded will take place.
This is the story of the meeting and disagreement of two opposite worlds. The story of Ataw Wallpa, Lord of the Incas against Francisco Pizarro, captain and emissary of King Carlos I of Spain. This is the story of those who believed that gold was “the tears of the sun” against those who saw in it a means to achieve prestige and power.
Inkakuna III – Hummingbird of Fire
Year 1533. After getting rid of the Only Lord Ataw Wallpa, the conquistador Francisco Pizarro has achieved powerful alliances with the main enemy families of the Incas and has earned the esteem of numerous Tawantinsuyu towns.
In order to restore the lost balance, the young prince Manqu, brother of Ataw Wallpa, will decide to confront the experienced Spanish marquis and will undertake what would later be known as the famous Cerco del Cusco, which kept the Spanish besieged for eleven months and was nearly about to finish them.
Hummingbird of Fire is the amazing chronicle of the confrontation between the Incas and the Spanish, between the Christian god and the wakas, between courtesans and virgins of the sun; the story of men and women willing to love, despite their differences; the story of men and women willing to hate, despite their equalities.
Imaginandes
“As for me, I saved myself as a coward.”
Men who agree with the devil in exchange for health or wealth; cowards who do not know very well if they end up becoming brave; a rational judge unable to explain certain supernatural events; an alchemist in search of the philosopher’s stone ends up finding something else; Don Quixote de la Mancha discovers that he is “just” a literary character…
These are some of the protagonists, anguished, lonely or crazy, who inhabit these stories and who, strung together by the author’s personal story, appear to us like flowers in a beautiful garden.
Imaginandes is a collection of “visceral” stories, located between the earthly and the fantastic, where the reader will come across approaches that call into question what we consider “normal” or with questions such as: “What if death is a birth that lasts a lifetime?
They saw us small when we were giants
She challenged his social status.
She faced the Spanish empire.
And she lost her children because of the war.
This is the moving story about the life of Juana Azurduy, one of the many women who fought on the front line in the Spanish-American wars of independence… and who died in oblivion.
The thirty-six dramatic situations
After an exhaustive analysis of classical literature, following the work of the playwright Gozzi, the French Georges Polti managed to make an inventory of all the dramatic situations, both in theater and in literature. Thus, Polti ensures that every story can be told or “explained” through one of the thirty-six dramatic situations: Oedipus, Andromeda, Alexander the Great, the Bible… in short, all of them.
The translation of this essential work, which has become a classic in its own right, has been made from the original in French and a translation into English. In this way, Adrián Silisque brings this invaluable creative resource to the Spanish-speaking world.
This is a book that cannot be missing in the library of any writer or aspirant, an incredibly useful guide, where you can find inspiration and help to formalize the creative writing process.
36 strings to improve your writing and climb to the top
Those who know me know that I like the analogy between writing and mountaineering. I like to think, for example, that just as the mountaineer is taking steps that bring him closer to the top, so the writer is braiding words and, in the best of cases, he too will reach the summit.
Being a writer is exhausting work and even worse when it comes to correcting one’s own work.
For this reason, and insisting on my analogy, here I bring you thirty-six “strings” that will help you correct your story, novel, short story… and, in the process, will improve your writing.
This little book is intended to be a quick guide for all those writers who still have doubts about style, grammar or writing in general.
