LETRAS

A poignant, sharp-eyed, and bitterly funny tale of a family struggling to stay together in a country rapidly coming apart, told through the eyes of their wondrous ten-year-old daughter, by the bestselling author of "Super Sad True Love Story" and "Our Country Friends".

Richard Friedenthal, editor y gran amigo de Stefan Zweig, reunió, en“El legado de Europa”, aquellos ensayos en que el escritor austríaco rinde homenaje a los artistas que supieron expresar la esencia de la conciencia común europea. Tras la fragmentación de esa patria compartida que fue Europa, Zweig la reconstruyó en el único mundo que le era posible, el del espíritu. En esta reconstrucción le ayudaron aquellos autores que fueron sus compañeros de viaje: Montaigne, Chateaubriand, Wassermann, Rilke, Roth... Artistas y amigos que, a modo de herencia, nos lega para inmortalizarlos en el tiempo, para que permanezcan imperecederamenteen nuestra conciencia.

Mackenzie Allen Philip's youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later, in the midst of his Great Sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on a wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change Mack's world forever. In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant THE SHACK wrestles with the timeless Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain? The answers Mack gets will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as it did him.

Con la placidez y tranquilidad de quien ha sabido adaptarse a lo que la vida le ha deparado, Eszter habita la casa que heredó de su padre en compañía de una pariente anciana. Hasta que un día, inesperadamente, recibe un telegrama de Lajos, viejo amigo de la familia, anunciando su inminente visita. Canalla, encantador y sin escrúpulos, con unas magníficas dotes de actor que le confieren un poder de seducción irresistible, Lajos no solo traicionó a Eszter, sino que también destruyó a su familia y les quitó todo lo que poseían, salvo la casa en la que viven, cuyo jardín es su único y escaso medio de subsistencia. Ahora, tras una prolongada ausencia, Lajos regresa y Eszter se prepara para recibirlo conmovida por un torbellino de sentimientos contradictorios.

The Sharaf family is the picture of success. Prosperous, rich, happy. They came to this country as refugees with nothing more than the clothes on their backs. And now, after years of hard work, they live in the most exclusive neighborhood, their growing family attending the most prestigious schools. Zorah, the eldest daughter, is the apple of her father’s eye. When an unthinkable tragedy strikes, everyone is left reeling and the family is thrust into the court of public opinion. There is talk that behind closed doors the Sharafs’ happy household was anything but. Did the Sharaf family achieve the American dream? Or was the image of the model immigrant family just a façade?
