In fiction, the adventurer figure or Picaro may be regarded as a descendant of the knight-errant of Medieval romance. Like the knight, the adventurer roams through episodic encounters, usually involving wealth, romance, or fighting. Unlike the knight, the adventurer was a realistic figure, often lower class or otherwise impoverished, who is forced to make his way to fortune, often by deceit. Also, an adventurer is a roguish hero of low social class who lives by his or her wits in a corrupt society.

1848, Kamehameha III granted fee-simple interest of Kalialinui to a chiefly steward, Kamaikaaloa (Kamaikaaloa), who held the land through the remainder of his lifetime, and subsequently conveyed it to his heirs. Kalalawalu—daughter of Kamaikaaloa and Kealohaaukai—and her husband, Douglas Panee, sold the land of Kalialinui to Haleakala Ranch in 1888. Most of Kalialinui, including the land that became the Waikamoi Preserve, has been held by Haleakala Ranch since that t...
The Hawaiian Language Reprint Series was established by the Hawaiian Historical Society to make available to students and scholars books that were printed in the Hawaiian language during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Most have long been out of print, and access to surviving editions is generally limited to libraries and private collections. We hope that making these texts accessible will foster the use and appreciation of the Hawaiian language, encourage the buildin...

–Violenta, pero Libertad al fin y al cabo –se dijo Scott al arribar al aeropuerto Baneasa, al norte de Bucarest, en Rumania, valija en mano, gozoso de pisar un suelo libre de la represión comunista. «Adiós al odio hacia la Naturaleza humana», suspiró satisfecho. Caminaba despacio, feliz, pero desorientado, leyendo los letreros de la Terminal en busca de la sala de espera. Mientras recorría aquellos pasillos, sus ojos no daban crédito a lo que veía: un edificio grandísi...
Deberíamos exceder el lenguaje para recalar en la piel. La poesía es como un cielo castrado de interioridades si no asumimos la transgresión hacia el encuentro. La impronta personal es importante, todos hemos aprendido a cabalgar a lomos de algún animal salvaje y lírico, impregnándonos de esencias, amancebados como infinitas rameras.

Cuentan que Amukhori, a los doce años y en las gradas de la catedral, fue el primero en desafiar a los curas del pueblo. Su nombre, anómalo en aquel lugar tras quinientos años de conquista española, pasó a ser motivo de respeto y asombro, en unas por su simplicidad y en otras por su rareza, puesto que nadie logró encontrarle nunca el significado, «el secreto», ni siquiera su madre Sigfrida. Su padre don Policarpo, que era el cartero de la comunidad, se justificaba dicien...
