Books studying the presence of Spain in American literature, and the possible influence of Spain and its literature on American authors, are still rare. In 1955 appeared a pioneer work in this field – Stanley T. Williams’ The Spanish Background of American Literature. But that book went no further than W.D. Howells’ Familiar Spanish Travels, published in 1913. The Last Good Land covers most of the twentieth century, including such groups as the Lost Generation and African American writers and exiles. It also considers then recent revolution in Spanish cultural and historical thought introduced by Américo Castro, which several American writers discussed in this volume may be said to have anticipated. Recent studies have expanded on Williams’ volumes, but in the majority of cases these works limit their scope to a single period (the nineteenth century, the Spanish Civil War), a movement (predominantly Romanticism) or authors known for their interest in Spain (Irving, Hemingway). The result is often a lack of continuum, or the exclusion of such authors as Saul Bellow, William Gaddis or Richard Wright. Within American literature itself, The Last Good Land contains revisions of traditional interpretations of certain writers, including Hemingway. The variety of authors treated, both in respect to ethnicity and gender, guarantees a varied and global view of Spanish culture by American writers.

“Take my word for it, James Reece is one rowdy motherf***er. Get ready!”—Chris Pratt, star of the #1 Amazon Prime series The Terminal List “A rare gut-punch writer, full of grit and insight, who we will be happily reading for years to come.” —Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times bestselling author of the Orphan X series? In this third high-octane thriller in the “seriously good” (Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author) Terminal List series, former Navy SEAL James Reece must infiltrate the Russian mafia and turn the hunters into the hunted. Deep in the wilds of Siberia, a woman is on the run, pursued by a man harboring secrets—a man intent on killing her. A traitorous CIA officer has found refuge with the Russian mafia with designs on ensuring a certain former Navy SEAL sniper is put in the ground. Half a world away, James Reece is recovering from brain surgery in the Montana wilderness, slowly putting his life back together with the help of investigative journalist Katie Buranek and his longtime friend and SEAL teammate Raife Hastings. Unbeknownst to them, the Russian mafia has set their sights on Reece in a deadly game of cat and mouse. As Jack Carr’s most visceral and heart-pounding thriller yet, Savage Son explores the darkest instincts of humanity through the eyes of a man who has seen both the best and the worst of it.

Free at Last in the Promised Land goes into detail as how and why Moses, a common person, and the people of Israel left the slavery of Egypt to enter the promised land. Moses, the leader of the people of Israel, with great sacrifice and with God’s help, forced Egypt’s Pharaoh to let the people of Israel go, which put them on their way to the promised land. On their way to the promised land, the people of Israel committed great sins against God, and they were punished for their behaviors. Moses also disobeyed God, which caused him and his brother Aaron to not be allowed to enter the promised land. Also, along the way to the promised land, Moses and the people of Israel fought with their own distant relatives, and they were able to defeat them with God’s help and with God turning them into a great nation, as promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. There may be many who don’t know that there were two partings during Moses’s and the people of Israel’s march to the promised land: God’s parting of the Red Sea and Jordan River. There were also other major partings from the beginning—God separated the waters of heavens and of the earth. Elijah and Elisha were allowed to part the Jordan River with God’s help. Free at Last in the Promised Land is an essential reading for anyone who wonders about the deepest parts of the journey of Moses and the people of Israel’s march toward the promised land.
