تقدّم الكونتيسة دي سيجورفي هذا الكتاب مذكرات فلسفيّة وأخلاقيّة على لسان حمار، وقد قام بترجمته إلى العربيّة حسين الجمل.

في الكتاب محاولةٌ لتغيير النظرة إلى الحمار ونشاطه الذهني، فقد قُلبت الموازين، وصار الحمار كائنًا ناطقًا، يشغله همٌّ واحد ألا وهو الوصول إلى درجة الإحترام في نظر الإنسان، ونفي صفة الغباء والكسل عنه.

تقوم فكرة الكتاب على إفتراض أن الحمار يستطيع النطق، فماذا سوف يقدّم كي ينال تقدير الإنسان، بل إنه يتعدّاه إلى امتلاكه الناحية الفلسفيّة في طرح أفكاره، حيث يقدم حلولًا واقتراحاتٍ لمشاكل البشر وقضاياهم، وإيجاد السّبل المنطقيّة في التصرّفات والسلوكيّات التي يقدمها.

Originally published in 1954 to honor Stevens’ 57th birthday, the book was rushed into print for the occasion and contained scores of errors. These have now been corrected in one place for the first time by Stevens scholars John N. Serio and Christopher Beyers, based on original editions and manuscripts. The Collected Poems is the one volume that Stevens intended to contain all the poems he wished to preserve, presented in the way he wanted. It is an enduring monument to his dazzling achievement.

It has been twenty-eight years since Sandra Cisneros published a book of poetry. With dozens of never-before-seen poems, Woman Without Shame is a moving collection of songs, elegies, and declarations that chronicle her pilgrimage toward rebirth and the recognition of her prerogative as a woman artist. These bluntly honest and often humorous meditations on memory, desire, and the essential nature of love blaze a path toward self-awareness. For Cisneros, Woman Without Shame is the culmination of her search for home—in the Mexico of her ancestors and in her own heart.
