Elena Poniatowska is recognized today as one of Mexico's greatest writers. Lilus Kikus, published in 1954, was her first book. However, it was labeled a children's book because it had a young girl as protagonist, it included illustrations, and the author was an unknown woman. Lilus Kikus has not received the critical attention or a translation into English it deserved, until now. Accompanying Lilus Kikus in this first American edition are four of Poniatowska's short stories with female protagonists, only one of which has been previously published in English. Poniatowska is admired today as a feminist, but in 1954, when Lilus Kikus appeared, feminism didn't have broad appeal. Twenty-first-century readers will be fascinated by the way Poniatowska uses her child protagonist to point out the flaws in adult society. Each of the drawings by the great surrealist Leonora Carrington that accompany the chapters in Lilus Kikus expresses a subjective, interiorized vision of the child character's contemplations on life. "A tantalizingly complex feminist author, whose importance and originality have yet to be appreciated in this country."--Cynthia Steele, author of Politics, Gender, and the Mexican Novel, 1968-1988 ABOUT THE CONTRIBUTORS Elena Poniatowska is the award-winning author of over fifty books. Born in France to a Mexican citizen of French ancestry, she now lives in Mexico City. In 2004, she was honored with the Legion de Honor del Gobierno de Francia. Poniatowska has received a Guggenheim Fellowship and an Emeritus Fellowship from Mexico's National Council of Culture and Arts. In 1979, she became the first woman to win the Mexican National Award for Journalism. Elizabeth Coonrod Martínez is professor of Latin American literature and chair of Chicano and Latino studies at Sonoma State University, Rohnert Park, California. ACCLAIM These translations offer a welcome chance to become familiar with Poniatowski and her distinctly rendered perspective. Recommended for public and academic libraries." --Library Journal "Lilus Kikus is a rich feast of inspired and original writing." --Santa Fe New Mexican "Elizabeth Coonrod Martinez' translation captures both the spirit and the rhythm of Poniatowska's original novella about the coming-of-age of a girl in Mexico's moneyed society after World War II." --The Weekly Alibi, NM "Elizabeth Coonrod Martinez' translation is immensely readable and the prose feels natural." --Southwestern American Literature

It's Trevor Noah: Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood (Adapted for Young Readers)
La isla de los hombres solos (Spanish Edition)
Composed of an illustrated novella, four stories and a critical essay, this collection introduces English-speaking readers to experimental Mexican writer Poniatowska, whose body of work has earned high honors in Central and South America. Poniatowska writes protagonists who ask questions and break rules—not, they would have one think, out of a desire to subvert, but as the natural result of their wide-eyed innocence. The title work, published in 1954, is a child's eye view of a grown-up world. Slim chapters and simple sentences are the foil for critiques ("Lilus's father never walks barefoot. He has too many appointments") and magic (God takes an elevator down Lilus's throat to visit her soul). Carrington's drawings heighten the distorted beauty of young Lilus Kikus's perspective. The stories that follow deal in solitude: a philosopher's daughter's life passes in the shadow of his intellectual circle; two lovers are turned out of the bedroom into a world that keeps them separate; a breathless monologue is delivered to a lover falling asleep; a nurse is accused of keeping five husbands. With each piece, a new facet of Poniatowska's rich stylistic vocabulary is revealed. (Nov.) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

I just want to add a buyer-beware on the Kindle version. Although the cover mentions the "illustrations by Leonora Carrington", the footnote on p. 29 tells us that the "drawings have been redacted from the digital edition and can be viewed in the print edition." Since I purchased this book for an ART discussion group, this is significant information that should have been made clear on the product page.
Aside from Lilus Kikus being a great novel by prominent Mexican writer Elena Poniatowska, professor Elizabeth Coonrod Martinez does a maginificent job introduccing the English reader to Poniatowska and the history and impact of Lilus Kikus in her introduction. The introduction itself is a facinating read to anybody interested in Elena and her history as a writer. I strongly recommend this book not only because it is Poniatowska's first novel and because of course it was written by her, but also because Martinez' introduction does justice to Lilus Kikus and teaches us the preconceived notions that a society had about this novel. As if this wasn't enough reasons, the English reader too gets introduced wisely into Poniatowska's novel and her work as a prominent and outstanding writer. I strongly recommend this novel to any English-reader!

Connections between Lilith, Adam’s first wife, and Jadis, the White Witch of Narnia
C.S. Lewis’s character Jadis, the White Witch of Narnia, in his The Chronicles of Narnia novels is said to have descended from Lilith, Adam’s first wife. Pictured here is Tilda Swinton as Jadis, the White Witch of Narnia, in the film adaptation The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005).
C.S. Lewis, one of the most beloved authors of the 20th century, created a magical, fictional world called Narnia. The primary villain of the first book of this series, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe , is Jadis, the White Witch. Below is the character Edmund’s description of the White Witch when he first meets her:
A great lady, taller than any woman that Edmund had ever seen. She also was covered in white fur up to her throat and held a long straight golden wand in her right hand and wore a golden crown on her head. Her face was white—not merely pale, but white like snow or paper or icing-sugar, except for her very red mouth. It was a beautiful face in other respects, but proud and cold and stern.
( The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe )
Jadis, the White Witch, is beautiful—and terrifying. Although she looks like a human, she is not. According to the character Mr. Beaver, the White Witch was descended from Lilith, Adam’s first wife, on one side and from giants on the other.
Who is Lilith? Is there any warrant for calling Lilith Adam’s first wife, or is this just the baseless chatter of woodland creatures? Are there appearances of Lilith in the Bible?
Dan Ben-Amos, Professor of Folklore and Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, explores the figure of Lilith in the Bible and mythology in his article “From Eden to Ednah —Lilith in the Garden” in the May/June 2016 issue of Biblical Archaeology Review . His analysis shows that Lilith is an intriguing figure who has taken on many shapes over the millennia. From this, we see that Jadis, the White Witch, shares more than just lineage with her supposed ancestor.

Who is Lilith: Beauty or horror? English painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s Lady Lilith (1866–68; altered 1872–73) depicts Lilith, Adam’s first wife, as a beautiful woman. Who is Lilith? According to Rossetti’s interpretation, she was a beauty. Photo: Delaware Art Museum
Lilith is first mentioned in ancient Babylonian texts as a class of winged female demons that attacks pregnant women and infants. From Babylonia, the legend of “the lilith” spread to ancient Anatolia, Syria, Israel, Egypt and Greece. In this guise—as a wilderness demoness—she appears in Isaiah 34:14 among a list of nocturnal creatures who will haunt the destroyed Kingdom of Edom. This is her only mention in the Bible, but her legend continued to grow in ancient Judaism.
During the Middle Ages, Jewish sources began to claim her as Adam’s first—and terrifying—wife. How did Lilith evolve from being a wilderness demoness to Adam’s first wife ?
Interestingly enough, this story begins at the beginning—in Genesis 1.
The creation of humans is described in Genesis 1 and in Genesis 2. The first account is fairly straightforward: “So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27). The second account describes how God formed man out of the dust of the ground and then creates woman from the man: “Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being. … So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then he took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man” (Genesis 2:7, 21–22).
In the post-Biblical period, some ancient Jewish scholars took the stance that Genesis 1:27 and Genesis 2:21–22 must describe two separate events, since it appears that woman is created differently in these accounts. In her Bible Review article “Lilith” in the October 2001 issue, Professor Janet Howe Gaines explains this reasoning: “Considering every word of the Bible to be accurate and sacred, commentators needed a midrash or story to explain the disparity in the creation narratives of Genesis 1 and 2. God creates woman twice—once with man, once from man’s rib—so there must have been two women. The Bible names the second woman Eve ; Lilith was identified as the first in order to complete the story.” Accordingly,
