NOVEDADES

Una valiente y provocativa reflexión sobre lo cómico en la actualidad que desafiará a cualquier lector ¿Podemos reirnos de todo? ¿Qué relación hay entre la censura, el humor y el poder? En un mundo donde la la ironía y el sarcasmo siguen siendo una importante herramienta para revelar verdades incómodas, el nuevo libro de Iñaki Domínguez muestra cómo, desde tiempos inmemoriales, los bufones han usado el humor no solo para entretener, sino para cuestionar el orden establecido y desafiar las normas. Acompañado de grandes pensadores y sin morderse la lengua, desenmascara cómo hoy los cómicos están siendo atacados por la ideología dominante que quiere imponer una representación falsaria y moralista del mundo que favorezca a las élites económicas.

The special first edition hardcover will include a gorgeous, shimmering jacket with effects, brilliantly illustrated four-color endpapers, striking and detailed-stained edges, and a beautiful foil-stamped case. In a world of magical artifacts and fantastical beings, a woman determined to save her family joins forces with an unlikely partner—a minotaur—in this steamy romantasy by USA Today bestselling author Ruby Dixon. As a Holder’s daughter, Aspeth Honori knows the importance of magical artifacts . . . which is why it’s a disaster that her father has gambled all theirs away. Now that her family is in danger of losing their hold—and their heads—if anyone finds out the truth, Aspeth decides to do something about it. She’ll join the Royal Artifactual Guild and the adventurers who explore ancient underground ruins to retrieve the coveted arcane items.

From the dragon-filled Temeraire series and the gothic magical halls of the Scholomance trilogy, through the realms next door to Spinning Silver and Uprooted, this stunning collection takes us from fairy tale to fantasy, myth to history, and mystery to science fiction as we travel through Naomi Novik’s most beloved stories. Here, among many others, we encounter: • A mushroom witch who learns that sometimes the worst thing in the Scholomance can be your roommate. • The start of the Dragon Corps in ancient Rome, after Mark Antony hatches a dragon’s egg and bonds with the hatchling. • A young bride in the Middle Ages who finds herself gambling with Death for the highest of stakes. • A delightful reimagining of Pride & Prejudice, in which Elizabeth Bennet captains a Longwing dragon. • The first glimpse of the world of Abandon, the setting of Novik’s upcoming epic fantasy series—a deserted continent populated only by silent and enigmatic architectural mysteries. Though the stories are vastly different, there is a unifying theme: wrestling with destiny, and the lengths some will go to find their own and fulfill its promise.
