«Una novela breve que dialoga entre épocas, entre exiliados y vidas que recomienzan, entre dioses y hombres. En términos del cine contemporáneo, El silbido del arquero es el remake polifónico de un clásico, escrito con prosa expresiva y muy cuidada, que nos brinda pasajes profundos.» -Jaime Panqueva Luego del asedio de Troya, obligado a huir para salvar a su familia, el derrotado héroe Eneas recibe una visión sobre el futuro de su casta. Acompañado de un puñado de sobrevivientes, se embarca hacia lo desconocido y naufraga en Cartago, donde es bien recibido por la reina Elisa y puede, al fin, atisbar la redención de su estirpe. Unos siglos más tarde, el poeta Virgilio recibe del emperador Augusto la encomienda de narrar la gloriosa historia de Roma, enraizada en aquella primera aventura de Eneas. Indeciso por la forma de llevar a cabo esta tarea, el poeta se pasea por la ciudad en busca de la inspiración, incapaz de ignorar la miseria que se oculta detrás del mármol pulido de sus calles. El mito, la historia, la aventura, el romance y la guerra se entrecruzan en esta novela coral para recordarnos que el pasado está imbricado en las fibras del presente. Irene Vallejo da muestras de su erudición y su talento narrativo con cada capítulo, y ejerce un hipnótico llamado a sus lectores para mirar con ojos siempre nuevos las lecciones que el pasado tiene para ofrecer. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "A short novel that dialogues between times, between the exiled and the lives they recommence, between gods and men. In terms of contemporary cinema, The Bowman's Whistle is the polyphonic remake of a classic, written with an expressive and carefully curated prose that offers deep passages." --Jaime PanquevaForced to escape in order to safe his family after the siege of Troy, the defeated hero Aeneas is granted a vision of the future of his lineage. Accompanied by a handful of survivors, he embarks to the unknown and shipwrecks in Carthage, where he is welcomed by Queen Elisa and at last glimpses at redemption for his family line. A few centuries later, Emperor Augustus commands the poet Virgil to tell the glorious tale of Rome, rooted in that first adventure of Aeneas. Hesitant as to how he should approach his task, the poet rambles through the city looking for inspiration, unable to ignore the misery hidden behind polished marble in the streets. Myth, history, adventure, romance, and war intertwine in this choral novel to remind us that the past is embedded within the fabric of present time. With each chapter, Irene Vallejo gives proof of her erudition and narrative talents, and exerts a hypnotic calling to her readers to always look upon the lessons our past has to offer with a fresh set of eyes.

Great value, great product!
I use this as a home jewelry box - I don't wear a lot of jewelry, so it fits my needs perfectly. Its pretty lightweight and would be good for travels as well. The outside is leather-like and seems to be waterproof so far. I use the first layer for jewelery and second layer to store my hairclips and pins. I've had it for a few months and it seems to be great quality and durable! Definitely a good value as well because I've seen similar jewelry boxes sold at popular retail stores for over $30.

Lovely Slate Gray Jewelry Box
I just received this Slate Gray jewelry box. It's really quite lovely and just the right size for my granddaughter's vanity. I'm really excited about giving it to her, for her 12th Birthday, to hold her better jewelry. It's so nice I'm going to order another one for my other Granddaughter's Birthday.

Songmics Slate Gray Travel Jewelry Box
I purchased the slate gray Songmics jewelry box for travel purposes. We take long vacations and have an upcoming 20 day cruise. I wanted a jewelry box that was compact enough to put in my carry-on bag, but still had room to hold a months worth of jewelry, especially to keep my necklaces for tangling. When this arrived, I was pleasantly surprised and the packaging was great, shipped in a sturdy box. so no damage to the jewelry box. The color is a rich gray and the 2 tier box, while small, holds a lot of jewelry. I wanted to purchase the ink black but could not justify paying twice the price of the gray one just to get it in black. It is small enough that it will fit in most any hotel/ship safe so I won't be sitting out in the room anyway. It has a strong magnetic snap that keeps the box from opening while in transit. The one negative for me is that the pierced earring card is so thick that my earrings barely go through to have enough room on the back side the slip the backs on. I may separate the double thick card, realizing it will not look as nice but will be more functional. The bottom half of the box will hold bracelets up to 1 1/4" wide. There is enough room under the earrings card to place pendants, additional earrings, etc. The necklace holder is designed to hold 5 necklaces, but I added one more by going across the top, end to end, to prevent tangling. I also placed smaller hoop earrings in the ring holder which holds them securely. This box held 7 bracelets, 2 of which were wide, 5 rings, 9 necklaces (I placed 3 in the bottom of the box, and had room for 23 pair of earrings (some placed in the ring holder and in the bottom of the bo)! I would buy this again in a heartbeat.
