LETRAS

El diario ir y volver de los pájaros, las relaciones entre sus perros y los distintos animales del campo en que vive, los colores de las estaciones, las conversaciones con sus hermanas en pleno encierro, las penas y risas de la vida a los 70 años, los cambios sociales de un país y un mundo enardecidos, los horrores que traen los noticieros, la dedicación amorosa a un primer nieto, las lecturas de clásicos como Ovidio y de contemporáneas como Toni Morrison que la deslumbran y estimulan. Marcela Serrano se dio a la tarea, durante tres años consecutivos, de consignar algún detalle de cada día de su vida. Entre 2020 y 2022 dejó de lado la invención de historias y personajes para observar su propia vida y lo que ocurría en su entorno inmediato.

Bada y San, una pareja de treintañeros, tienen dificultades para concebir un bebé. Cansados de no lograrlo, y de escuchar comentarios de todo tipo, deciden someterse a un tratamiento de fecundación in vitro. La sociedad surcoreana, que conserva aún fuertes rasgos tradicionales, impondrá sin reservas sus expectativas sobre los jóvenes aspirantes a padres... incluso cuando las cosas no vayan bien. A través de esta historia, Keum Suk Gendry-Kim nos cuenta el drama que viven muchas parejas: los retos físicos y psicológicos a los que se enfrentan, las opiniones sesgadas de familiares y amigos dependiendo de si hablan de la futura madre o del futuro padre, la falta de empatía de la comunidad médica... Mañana será otro día es una tragedia íntima, inspirada en la experiencia personal de la autora, pero que conectará a las lectoras y los lectores de uno y otro continente.

Song of great sorrow. Even greater love. Lost between the timeless lines of Homer’s epic, the women of Troy finally stand to be counted. Their story is one you’ve never encountered, and it will change the fate of Troy forever. Andromache has proven herself a capable leader, but can she maintain that hard-won status now that she is the mother to the city’s long-awaited heir? With enemies closing in, Andromache must bring together a divided city in time to make a final stand. Rhea is a Trojan spy, but she never expected to find love in the enemy camp. When the final battle lines are drawn, Rhea must decide where her loyalties lie and how much she is willing to lose. Helen is no longer the same broken woman first brought to Troy as a captive. Given a second chance at life, she must cast off her shroud of grief and use her healing gifts to save Troy’s greatest hope. Cassandra has seen Troy’s fate. But she knows the truth is only as valuable as the person who tells it . . . and few in Troy value her. All that is about to change. One hero will rise, another will fall . . . and this time, Cassandra will have her say.

Why is it so hard to stand up to authority, even when we know something’s wrong? Many of us comply much more than we realize. How many times have you wanted to object, disagree, or opt out of something but ended up swallowing your words, shaking your head, and just going along? Analyzing cases ranging from corporate corruption and sexual abuse to everyday acquiescence at work, the doctor’s office, and in our personal lives, award-winning organizational psychologist Dr. Sunita Sah delves deep into why the pressure to comply is a corrosive and often invisible force in our society. With her own revelatory research, she radically transforms our idea of defiance from a misunderstood negative trait into a crucial, positive force for personal and societal change. Taking us through her five stages of defiance, Dr. Sah equips readers with simple tools to make decisions that align with their values. Defy is the essential playbook for how to speak up and act when it matters most.

Una pieza de arte de Tomás Hijo. Una obsesión se ha apoderado del alma de Robert Blake. Cada día observa, desde la ventana de su estudio, la silueta de la iglesia abandonada que se alza sobre Federal Hill. Cuando finalmente decide atravesar los decadentes barrios que rodean el templo, Blake accederá a un escenario acorde con sus gustos por lo oculto: extraños manuscritos, ídolos inquietantes, símbolos blasfemos, un cadáver olvidado… Todos ellos vestigios de un viejo culto dedicado a obscenas deidades cósmicas. En el centro mismo de ese enclave de pesadilla, Blake se encontrará con un artefacto ancestral vinculado a terrores inimaginables que amenazarán con desgarrar su mente y el tejido mismo de la realidad
