En esta mirada satírica y perturbadora sobre los jóvenes en plena rebelión, Alex y sus amigos de quince años emprenden una orgía diabólica de robos, violaciones, torturas y asesinatos. Hasta que Alex es apresado por sus actos delictivos y el Estado intenta reformarlo. Pero ¿a qué precio? ¿Se trata de una profecía social? ¿De humor negro? ¿De un estudio sobre los espíritus libres? La naranja mecánica es una suma de todo ello, y también incluye un brillante experimento con el lenguaje, por el que Burgess crea una jerga adolescente, el «nadsat». «Un libro terrible y maravilloso.» Roald Dahl «Una de las novelas más rompedoras e influyentes de todos los tiempos, y una de las mejores.» Irvine Welsh

When Stella Samuel meets a gorgeous blue-eyed guy at Starbucks and shows him her camera, it's nothing more than a moment―one that takes her breath away, sure, but it's not like she'll ever see him again. This year she's postponing college to support her sister, Cara, as she fights cancer, and she doesn't have time for anything else. While Stella would rather not spend three hours in line to get autographs from some band called The Heartbreakers, her sister's a huge fan. It'll be totally worth it to surprise Cara on her birthday.

Felicity has her entire future planned. Ever since her older sister ran away, she's had the full weight of her mother's expectations on her shoulders. So she works hard to get straight As and save for college. Except sometimes the best things in life are unplanned like when Felicity meets a handsome, masked stranger while she is volunteering at a charity masquerade ball. She never thought he'd flirt with her. And she certainly never thought he'd turn out to be a member of the world-famous Heartbreakers band, Alec. Then Felicity uncovers a shocking family secret. Suddenly, she, Alec, and her two best friends are off on a road trip to find Felicity's missing sister. And she's about to discover that unexpected turns have a peculiar way of landing her right where she needs to be…

Erika Fane’s boyfriend's older brother is handsome, strong, and completely terrifying. The star of his college's basketball team gone pro, he's more concerned with the dirt on his shoe than he is with her. But she saw him. She heard him. The things that he did, and the deeds that he hid... For years, Erika bit her nails, unable to look away. Now, she’s in college, but she hasn’t stopped watching him. He’s bad and the things she’s seen aren’t content to stay in her head anymore.

Ever since The Embarrassing Meltdown Incident, Flo has been on an enforced break from life. And the timing couldn’t be better, as her family sets off to Greece for their summer vacation. Enter Jamie Kramer . . . literally. Broad, sun-kissed, and fitter than ever. Jamie is Flo’s brother’s best friend, and the person she wants to see least in the world. He’s also her family’s “adopted” son after he lost his parents at a young age. Flo and Jamie hate each other. Except, Flo actually has a mortifying crush on Jamie, made infuriatingly stronger after The Christmas Incident. And nobody—least of all her family—can know. So, with two weeks of steamy outings, rocky boat trips, and sunshine on the horizon, Flo is going to have to fix the situation the only way she can think of: by spending time with him. What could possibly go wrong for the pair of Enemies to Lovers?

Los viajes de Gulliver se publicó por primera vez en 1726, y tres siglos después mantiene toda su vigencia. Esta célebre novela satírica es a la vez un relato de aventuras y una artera reflexión filosófica sobre la constitución de las sociedades modernas. Los encuentros del naufragante Lemuel Gulliver con los minúsculos liliputienses, los gigantes brobdingnagianos, los filosóficos houyhnhnms y los brutos yahoos harán que el protagonista, como el lector, abra los ojos a la cruda y verdadera naturaleza humana.
