INFANTILES Y JUVENILES

January 1918. Laura Iven was a revered field nurse until she was wounded and discharged from the medical corps, leaving behind a brother still fighting in Flanders. Now home in Halifax, Canada, Laura receives word of Freddie’s death in combat, along with his personal effects but something doesn’t make sense. Determined to uncover the truth, Laura returns to Belgium as a volunteer at a private hospital, where she soon hears whispers about haunted trenches and a strange hotelier whose wine gives soldiers the gift of oblivion. Could Freddie have escaped the battlefield, only to fall prey to something or someone else? November 1917. Freddie Iven awakens after an explosion to find himself trapped in an overturned pillbox with a wounded enemy soldier, a German by the name of Hans Winter. Against all odds, the two form an alliance and succeed in clawing their way out. Unable to bear the thought of returning to the killing fields, especially on opposite sides, they take refuge with a mysterious man who seems to have the power to make the hellscape of the trenches disappear.

Hace un año, Amelie lo tenía todo: un novio de toda la vida, su mejor amiga de la infancia y un trabajo en el restaurante de su padre. Su vida era perfecta. Hasta que Ian se sentó junto a ella en una boda y le demostró que quizá podría apetecerle algo fuera de la carta. Hoy, Amelie está soltera y sin trabajo, y se ha tomado un respiro de su mejor amiga. Por si fuera poco, ha perdido todo contacto con Ian. Cuando visita la ciudad de este para dar una conferencia sobre cocina, espera un gran encuentro romántico y trascendental. Sin embargo, todo vuela por los aires al descubrir que Ian es hijo del rival de su padre. ¿Puede haber un fiasco aún mayor? Él solo quiere que sean amigos. Amelie tiene una semana para hacerle cambiar de opinión y demostrarle que, pese a todo, ella es la persona indicada con la que compartir su menú de boda.

This fully annotated volume collects three of Baum's fourteen Oz novels in which he developed his utopian vision and which garnered an immense and loyal following. The Wizard of Oz (1900) introduces Dorothy, who arrives from Kansas and meets the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion, and a host of other characters. The Emerald City of Oz (1910) finds Dorothy, Aunt Em, and Uncle Henry coming to Oz just as the wicked Nome King is plotting to conquer its people. In Baum's final novel, Glinda of Oz (1920), Dorothy and Princess Ozma try to prevent a battle between the Skeezers and the Flatheads. Tapping into a deeply rooted desire in himself and his loyal readers to live in a peaceful country which values the sharing of talents and gifts, Baum's imaginative creation, like all great utopian literature, holds out the possibility for change.
