En As Boiras, un pueblo turístico del Alto Aragón, ha aparecido el cadáver de Emma Lenglet, la hija de un influyente senador francés. El modus operandi del asesino es morbosamente parecido al que empleó el «Carnicero del Valle» tres décadas atrás. Justamente, hace un mes que Marzal Castán, el psicópata que cazó y desangró a seis adolescentes a mediados de los noventa, ha sido excarcelado para recibir curas paliativas y ha vuelto al Pirineo. El comisario Kevin Girard, uno de los mejores agentes de la policía francesa, especializado en psicópatas, acaba de llegar a As Boiras para cooperar con la Guardia Civil, pues sospechan de la existencia de un copycat: un admirador que está imitando aquellos viejos crímenes y no se contentará con una sola víctima.

Roland, profesor universitario con treinta años de carrera, recibe de sus discípulos y compañeros de facultad como regalo por su sesenta cumpleaños un libro homenaje con los momentos más importantes de su trayectoria profesional. Pero el libro está incompleto. Nadie sabe de la persona que le inspiró en sus estudios y que cambió su modo de ver la vida. Este es el relato de su secreto mejor guardado. En Confusión de sentimientos Stefan Zweig explora desde un nuevo ángulo las pasiones y contradicciones humanas y teje una narrativa magistral sustentada en su elegante estilo y precisión.

Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat Pray Love touched the world and changed countless lives, inspiring and empowering millions of readers to search for their own best selves. Now, this beloved and iconic book returns in a beautiful 10th anniversary edition, complete with an updated introduction from the author, to launch a whole new generation of fans. In her early thirties, Elizabeth Gilbert had everything a modern American woman was supposed to want—husband, country home, successful career—but instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she was consumed by panic and confusion. This wise and rapturous book is the story of how she left behind all these outward marks of success, and set out to explore three different aspects of her nature, against the backdrop of three different cultures: pleasure in Italy, devotion in India, and on the Indonesian island of Bali, a balance between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence.

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results. But like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America’s most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth’s unusual approach to cooking (“combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride”) proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn’t just teaching women to cook. She’s daring them to change the status quo.

Emmy Harlow is a witch but not a very powerful one—in part because she hasn't been home to the magical town of Thistle Grove in years. Her self-imposed exile has a lot to do with a complicated family history and a desire to forge her own way in the world, and only the very tiniest bit to do with Gareth Blackmoore, heir to the most powerful magical family in town and casual breaker of hearts and destroyer of dreams. But when a spellcasting tournament that her family serves as arbiters for approaches, it turns out the pull of tradition (or the truly impressive parental guilt trip that comes with it) is strong enough to bring Emmy back. She's determined to do her familial duty; spend some quality time with her best friend, Linden Thorn; and get back to her real life in Chicago.

Nunca me mintió. No rompió ninguna promesa, porque nunca me hizo ninguna. Cuando Tate Collins conoce al piloto Miles Archer, no cree que sea amor a primera vista. Ni siquiera irían tan lejos como para considerarse amigos. Lo único que Tate y Miles tienen en común es una innegable atracción mutua. Una vez que sus deseos salen a la luz, se dan cuenta de que tienen el acuerdo perfecto. Él no quiere amor, ella no tiene tiempo para el amor, así que solo queda el sexo. Su arreglo podría ser sorprendentemente perfecto, siempre que Tate pueda cumplir con las únicas dos reglas que Miles tiene para ella.
