NOVEDADES

An ultimatum from Summer Preston’s thesis advisor thrusts her into an unexpected collision with the hockey team’s captain, Aiden Crawford. She’s caught between conflicting desires of fulfilling her lifelong dream of becoming a sport psychologist and staying as far away as possible from the god-awful sport. And once she meets Aiden—well, let’s just say he confirms all her worst assumptions about hockey players. Being the captain of the college hockey team has its perks, except when a reckless mistake by Aiden’s team threatens to jeopardize their entire season. As punishment, Aiden’s coach nominates him as the subject of a student research project. Participating is the last thing he wants to do, especially since the girl leading the project looks like she could wield his skates as a weapon. Summer can’t stand Aiden’s blasé approach to life, and Aiden doesn’t understand why she’s twenty years old with a twenty-five-year plan. But their bickering soon turns to bantering—and once they let their guards down, there’s nothing to check their feelings.

Four adventurous siblings—Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie—step through a wardrobe door and into the land of Narnia, a land frozen in eternal winter and enslaved by the power of the White Witch. But when almost all hope is lost, the return of the Great Lion, Aslan, signals a great change . . . and a great sacrifice. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is the second book in C. S. Lewis's classic fantasy series, which has been drawing readers of all ages into a magical land with unforgettable characters for over sixty years. This is a stand-alone read, but if you would like to explore more of the Narnian realm, pick up The Horse and His Boy, the third book in The Chronicles of Narnia.

On a daring quest to save a life, two friends are hurled into another world, where an evil sorceress seeks to enslave them. But then the lion Aslan's song weaves itself into the fabric of a new land, a land that will be known as Narnia. And in Narnia, all things are possible. The Magician's Nephew is the first book in C. S. Lewis's classic fantasy series, The Chronicles of Narnia, which has captivated readers of all ages for over sixty years. This is a stand-alone novel, but if you would like to journey through the wardrobe and back to Narnia, read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the second book in The Chronicles of Narnia.

All stories come to an end. Effy learned that when she defeated the Fairy King. Even though she may never know exactly what happened at Hiraeth, she is free of her nightmares and is able to pen a thesis with Preston on the beloved national fairy tale Angharad. She has finally earned a spot at the literature college, making her the first woman in history to enroll. But some dreams are dangerous, especially when they come true. The entire university—and soon the entire nation—is waiting for her to fail. With the Fairy King defeated and Myrddin’s legacy exposed, Effy can no longer escape into fantasy. Who is she without her stories? With Effy under threat, Preston is surprised to discover a rage simmering inside him, ringing in his ears like bells. He begins to dream of a palace under the sea, a world where he is king—visions that start to follow him even in waking. As the war between Llyr and Argant explodes, Effy and Preston find themselves caught in the crossfire: Effy losing her dreams and Preston losing himself in his. Are dreams ever truly just dreams?

¿Qué tiene que ver la literatura con los principios de la termodinámica y el concepto de entropía planteados por Rudolf Clausius en 1865? La concepción y el estudio de la literatura suelen remitir a un sistema cerrado y estable. Eso era comprensible en el siglo XIX, pero ya no. Hoy, el estudio de la literatura entendido como exégesis textual y vidas de santos no sirve para explicar cómo y por qué sigue siendo una actividad social y cultural significativa. Literatura, lengua y lugar se pregunta, aplicando los principios de la termodinámica, qué pasa en la confluencia de estos tres elementos en un mundo acelerado y cambiante.

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
