  Legends of Gods and Ghosts -...

  Hawaiian legends of gods and ghosts: the shark-god of Molokai and the shark-man of Waipio valley, the poison-god Kalai-pahoa, Milu the king of ghosts, and the bride brought back from the under-world. Westervelt lived in Honolulu, took the stories from Hawaiian speakers and printed the names as they were given. He is one of the few collectors of Polynesian material who did not tidy the theology. Forty-six plates carry the Pacific itself, from Gauguin's Tahitian figures to Tavernier's Kilauea crater, so the islands the stories come from are never far from the page.

  The Beggar of Alcazar is a hauntingly beautiful tale of love, pride, illusion, and sacrifice set against the golden splendor of Seville’s ancient Moorish palace. 
  Maria del Alcazar grows up within the enchanted walls of the Alcazar, a dreamer shaped by marble courtyards, whispering fountains, and sunlit arches. To her, the palace is not just stone and history—it is destiny. When she falls in love with Don José, a rising bullfighter whose courage dazzles the crowds, her life becomes entwined with ambition, glory, and the fragile nature of bravery. 
  But when blood stains the arena and pride is wounded deeper than flesh, love begins to change. Courage fades. Fame turns bitter. And the very devotion that once inspired greatness becomes the shadow that destroys it. 
  As José rises again, Maria slowly vanishes into the silence of the palace that raised her—until she becomes a ghost of her own dream, wandering the Alcazar by day as a beggar… and by night, its only true queen. 
  Rich with atmosphere, emotional tension, and tragic beauty, The Beggar of Alcazar is a timeless story of how love can elevate a man—or undo him—and how a woman’s quiet strength can outlive glory itself.
