Shy and penniless Fanny Price is brought up on her uncle Sir Thomas Bertram’s estate, Mansfield Park, as an act of charity. Sir Thomas also owns land— and benefits from the labor of enslaved people— in the Caribbean colony of Antigua. Fanny is miserable until her kind cousin Edmund Bertram takes her under his wing. Having secretly fallen in love with him, Fanny suffers severely when his head is turned by the captivating Mary Crawford. Fanny’s quiet fortitude makes Mansfield Park one of Austen’s most psychologically astute novels.

Otras miradas a la historia dominicana recoge una compilación de artículos publicados en las columnas «En aquel tiempo», del periódico El Caribe, e «Historia y memoria», del periódico Diario Libre entre los años 2004 y 2012. Como en el volumen La otra historia dominicana, obra de la cual este libro puede ser considerado una continuación, el propósito fue siempre el mismo: examinar la historia dominicana desde nuevas perspectivas que contribuyan a entenderla a partir de causalidades hasta entonces inexploradas, mal explicadas o poco estudiadas, haciendo uso del instrumental conceptual de las modernas ciencias sociales.

After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova. Ever the detective, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova’s son disappeared. And now Marcellus must use every trick his old invertebrate body can muster to unearth the truth for her before it’s too late.

Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars. But Athena’s a literary darling. June Hayward is literally nobody. Who wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks. So when June witnesses Athena’s death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena’s just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I. So what if June edits Athena’s novel and sends it to her agent as her own work? So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand her as Juniper Song—complete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo? Doesn’t this piece of history deserve to be told, whoever the teller? That’s what June claims, and the New York Times bestseller list seems to agree. But June can’t get away from Athena’s shadow, and emerging evidence threatens to bring June’s (stolen) success down around her. As June races to protect her secret, she discovers exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks she deserves. With its totally immersive first-person voice, Yellowface grapples with questions of diversity, racism, and cultural appropriation, as well as the terrifying alienation of social media. R.F. Kuang’s novel is timely, razor-sharp, and eminently readable.

Tras las vacaciones, Rachel James debe volver a su puesto como teniente en el ejército de la FEMF y se encuentra con que la central de Londres no es la misma, ya que los cimientos de su vida perfecta tiemblan con la llegada de un nuevo coronel, soberbio y con una belleza inhumana, que ha tomado el comando. Christopher Morgan está al mando y cree tener todo claro, pero las tentaciones desencadenarán un torbellino de pasiones soltando el tipo de llama que hace arder a aquellos que se hacen llamar amantes. Este complicado juego empieza con Lascivia, una historia +21 ambientada en el mundo de la milicia y la mafia, cargada de traiciones, infidelidades, engaños y amores letalmente tóxicos.
