NOVEDADES

La primera megafiltración masiva difundió papeles del Pentágono con la novedad del momento: una fotocopiadora. Hoy la tecnología permite publicar miles de archivos para que las audiencias conozcan su contenido sin intermediaciones. La historia de esos hallazgos muestra por qué esta forma de revelar los secretos del poder es, con sus virtudes y defectos, héroes y villanos, una herramienta vital para el acceso a la información y para el futuro de la democracia. El filtrador puede ser un funcionario poderoso, un empresario estafado, un empleado enojado, un espía, un loco, un idealista. La filtración puede llegar en forma de documentos, fotos, videos, audios. Puede ser una cantidad de datos tan grande que se mide en terabytes o una grabación de unos pocos minutos. Lo importante es lo que se revela: corrupción, crímenes de Estado, evasiones millonarias de impuestos, espionaje masivo de ciudadanos o doping. En un mundo en el que casi todo lo que se vende como noticia son declaraciones, propaganda o fake news, las filtraciones -vengan de donde vengan- descubren hechos. Para el autor de este libro, son el último refugio del periodismo. Un periodismo que no se limita a reproducir anuncios y opiniones. Un periodismo que echa luz sobre los manejos más opacos de gobiernos y corporaciones.

«Nunca había visto una madrugada tan negra y quieta, con la selva, las islas y el mar casi confundidos con la oscuridad. El mundo le pareció aterrador, como tomado por fuerzas ocultas». Rosa decide dejar su vida cómoda en la ciudad para irse con Gene, su pareja de origen irlandés, a construir con sus propias manos una casa en la selva a orillas del mar. Cuando él tiene que irse unos días, ella queda sola en aquel paraje que aún le resulta indescifrable. Durante ese tiempo, a medida que la luna mengua y las noches se oscurecen, Rosa se enfrenta a las amenazas de la ingobernable naturaleza que la rodea y también a los otros, los vecinos del lugar que la saben sola. Su pasado, además, no deja de acecharla, y su soledad se hace cada vez más profunda y definitiva. En esta novela portentosa que corta el aliento, la prosa rotunda de Pilar Quintana nos produce admiración e inquietud a partes iguales.«Un nuevo Corazón de las tinieblas, una obra que marcará un hito literario. Hipnótica, sobrecogedora, peligrosa, conmovedora. Esa tremenda selva la llevaré para siempre en mi memoria». Rosa Montero Sobre La perra:«Pilar Quintana tiene potencia literaria, se caracteriza por su pulso firme y serenidad para narrar la pasión, el deseo y la locura humanas, y además por la claridad y transparencia de sus detallados y complejos artificios novelísticos». Fernanda Melchor «De este libro se sale distinto. Hay aquí una mirada sobre la maternidad, la crueldad y lo inexorable de la naturaleza que resulta inolvidable». Mariana Enriquez «Un libro muy sensual que se mete debajo de la piel. Una exploración sobrecogedora del deseo maternal en los hermosos paisajes de Colombia».Leila Slimani Sobre Los abismos: «Cómo resumir todo lo que me fascinó de Pilar Quintana. El brutal lirismo. Su caminar contra lo esperado. Esa tensión afiladísima, poética y nada complaciente».Sara Mesa «Con una voz poderosa e inquietante, Pilar Quintana explora los miedos de la infancia junto a las fragilidades y violencias de los adultos». Irene Vallejo

In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child -- not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power -- the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves. Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus, the murderous Medea, and, of course, wily Odysseus. But there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone, and Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods, ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians. To protect what she loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and choose, once and for all, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love.

At 32, Russell Green has it all: a stunning wife, a lovable six year-old daughter, a successful career as an advertising executive, and an expansive home in Charlotte. He is living the dream, and his marriage to the bewitching Vivian is at the center of it. But underneath the shiny surface of this perfect existence, fault lines are beginning to appear . . . In a matter of months, Russ finds himself without a job or a wife, caring for his young daughter while struggling to adapt to a new reality.

When a chance encounter with an old flame tempts him to take a chance on love again, he navigates this new opportunity with trepidation and wonder. With the loyal support of his parents, the wisdom of his older sister, Marge, and the hard-won lessons of fatherhood, Russ will finally come to understand the true nature of unconditional love—that it is a treasure to be bestowed, not earned.

Long ago and far away (and somewhere south of France) lies the kingdom of Esquaveta. There, Princess Tullia is in nearly as much peril as her struggling kingdom. Esquaveta desperately needs to forge an alliance, and to that end, Tullia's father has arranged a marriage between her and an odious prince. However, one month before the "wedding of the century," Tullia falls in love with a lowly apprentice scribe. The king turns to Anatole, his much-maligned magician. Seventeen years earlier, when Anatole first came to the castle, he was regarded as something of a prodigy. But after a long series of failures—the latest being an attempt to transform sand into gold—he has become the object of contempt and ridicule. The only one who still believes in him is the princess. When the king orders Anatole to brew a potion that will ensure Tullia agrees to the wedding, Anatole is faced with an impossible choice. With one chance to save the marriage, the kingdom, and, of most importance to him, his reputation, will he betray the princess—or risk ruin?

Alex Aster’s intricate world expands after the riveting culmination of the Centennial games, delving more deeply into Isla’s memories of her past, as her future hurtles toward two possible fates.
