An elliptic curve is a particular kind of cubic equation in two variables whose projective solutions form a group. Modular forms are analytic functions... in the upper half plane with certain transformation laws and growth properties. The two subjects--elliptic curves and modular forms--come together in Eichler-Shimura theory, which constructs elliptic curves out of modular forms of a special kind. The converse, that all rational elliptic curves arise this way, is called the Taniyama-Weil Conjecture and is known to imply Fermat's Last Theorem.Elliptic curves and the modeular forms in the Eichler- Shimura theory both have associated L functions, and it is a consequence of the theory that the two kinds of L functions match. The theory covered by Anthony Knapp in this book is, therefore, a window into a broad expanse of mathematics--including class field theory, arithmetic algebraic geometry, and group representations--in which the concidence of L functions relates analysis and algebra in the most fundamental ways.Developing, with many examples, the elementary theory of elliptic curves, the book goes on to the subject of modular forms and the first connections with elliptic curves. The last two chapters concern Eichler-Shimura theory, which establishes a much deeper relationship between the two subjects. No other book in print treats the basic theory of elliptic curves with only undergraduate mathematics, and no other explains Eichler-Shimura theory in such an accessible manner.

Winner of the Prix de Rome and the National Jewish Book Award, these ten stories and the title novella, "Ellis Island," exhibit tremendous range and... versatility of style and technique, yet are closely unified in their beauty and in their concern with enduring and universal questions.

In 1866 Spain, Don Jaime is an old-fashioned fencing master, unaware of the political conspiracies around him. A mysterious and beautiful woman enters... his life, asking to be instructed in this old gentlemen's art. Once he accepts, he is thrown into an entangled plot of intrigue and death. Spanish Description: Novela de aventuras pero tambien policiaca, de traiciones y maniobras politicas en el Madrid galdosiano de 1868. El maestro de esgrima es la historia de un mundo de tahures y mercachifles mantenido a distancia por un florete honorable. Pero es, sobre todo, una inquietante parabola sobre el poder del dinero, la ambicion politica y la extincion de los valores de honradez y fidelidad en este siglo XX que agoniza.

En marzo de un ano cualquiera, el mago argentino Hans Chans acude a una convencion de ilusionistas en Panama. La peculiaridad de Hans Chans es que es un... mago de verdad, el puede hacer cambiar las leyes del mundo fisico, puede jugar con la realidad a su antojo. Sin embargo, durante toda su vida Hans se ha esforzado en ocultar este don, y ha pasado por ser un mago mediocre, incapaz de aprovechar su condicion en beneficio propio. No obstante, en esta ocasion esta dispuesto a demostrar quien es el realmente. Resuelto a desplegar su talento ante sus colegas, Hans Chans no es consciente de que esta vez su magia va a cambiar su destino y el de otros radicalmente. En esta especie de fabula, el autor reflexiona sobre la mecanica de los deseos, sobre los caprichos y la burla del destino. Sobre aquellos artistas desalentados pero con el espiritu de la creacion encendido. El mago de Cesar Aira vuelve a sorprender por su genialidad, su dominio e inteligencia narrativa.

El nuevo libro de Rodrigo Rey Rosa se presenta como una novela, pero se desarrolla en las arenas movedizas entre lo ficticio y lo historico. Con la... forma suelta y aparentemente ligera del diario de apuntes y notas, Rey Rosa elude la novela de personajes, y la narracion funciona como un gran fresco historico o alegoria sobre la represion sanguinaria que ha sufrido Guatemala a lo largo de los ultimos siglos. La certera eleccion del genero le permite acomodar los hechos de su vida personal, contaminada por la violencia de Estado, y combinarlos con una dudosa investigacion en un vasto y caotico archivo policial. Esta posibilidad de atacar el mismo problema desde varias perspectivas y en un texto aparentemente libre de toda obligacion para con una sola linea argumental tambien abre camino para dosificar la ambiguedad, que constituye lo mas logrado de su novela y que es caracteristica de las ficciones de este extraordinario autor.
