El mundo no se acabó aquel día. Pero la vida de Clara Nox, tal y como la conocía, sí. Clara tiene 13 años, vive en Nueva York y estudia en un instituto tan elitista que incluso la directora la desprecia con elegancia. Su día a día era igual de emocionante que una tostada sin mantequilla. Hasta que empezó a circular un rumor: que el fin del mundo se acercaba. Y entonces llegaron los apagones. El caos. Y los monstruos. Sí, monstruos. Reales. Aunque casi nadie pareció notarlos. Clara sí, por supuesto. Sin instrucciones y con más miedo del que le gusta admitir, Clara tendrá que aprender a enfrentarse a un mundo que ya no es el mismo. Y eso es solo el principio.

Twins Pearl and Patrick are no ordinary twelve-year-olds. They’re geniuses, hiding in plain sight, who pull heists all over the world to further their scientific and historical research. Their criminal activity, including grand theft auto and espionage, has made them a regular nuisance to both the CIA and MI5. But it’s all been worth it. They’ve finally achieved their greatest triumph: time travel. Pearl’s Chrono-Loop can take the twins anywhere in time! Their first stop: ancient Egypt, where they even get to see King Tut! But when they return home, they’re arrested by TIME—The Interdimensional Misconduct Enquiry—a secret organization charged with maintaining the timeline. Turns out Pearl and Patrick didn’t invent time travel, after all—that happened two hundred years ago! And what Pearl did in ancient Egypt—killing a mosquito—could have rewritten history as we know it if not for TIME agents stepping in.

«¡Cede lugar a mi secreto amor! ¡Ven, hermano, ven, amante al fin! ¡Surge de la profundidad que nunca osé salvar, asoma desde la hondura que mi amor ha derribado! ¡Brota asido al hilo que te lleva el insensato!». Los reyes (1949), primer libro publicado por Cortázar con su nombre verdadero, es un poema dramático que propone una curiosa variante del mito del Minotauro: Ariadna no está enamorada de Teseo sino del monstruo que habita en el centro del laberinto. Gran conocedor de la estructura cerrada y fatal de los mitos griegos, Cortázar se las ingenia para que la historia tenga, de todas formas, el desenlace conocido: a pesar de las intenciones de su amada, el monstruo elige morir a manos de Teseo. Esta obra de estilo clásico y rara belleza, que ocupa un lugar de excepción dentro de la riquísima obra literaria de Cortázar, tiene el mérito enorme de respetar y, al mismo tiempo, transgredir la tradición.

Generations of readers have fallen in love with Jane Austen’s beloved classic Pride and Prejudice. The sparkling Elizabeth Bennet, the taciturn Fitzwilliam Darcy, and an array of characters that range from irrepressible to almost irredeemable, move through this comedy of manners about the danger of first impressions. Set in a provincial world away from London, Austen’s novel pokes fun at the machinations of courtship rituals while celebrating the importance of friendship and sisterhood.
