NOVEDADES

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.

¿Quién es Enric Marco? Un nonagenario barcelonés que se hizo pasar por superviviente de los campos nazis y que fue desenmascarado en mayo de 2005, después de presidir durante tres años la asociación española de los supervivientes, pronunciar centenares de conferencias, conceder decenas de entrevistas, recibir importantes distinciones y conmover en algún caso hasta las lágrimas a los parlamentarios españoles reunidos para rendir homenaje por vez primera a los republicanos deportados por el III Reich.

Gioacchino Lanza Tomasi, primo lejano de Lampedusa, tuvo la enorme fortuna de ser uno de los asistentes al reducido taller de lectura que impartió el escritor en la década de 1 9 5 0 a algunos jóvenes prometedores de su entorno. Con el tiempo, el príncipe pidió a Lanza, de madre española—y al que acabaría adoptando—, que lo ayudara a leer en la lengua de Cervantes los clásicos de la literatura hispánica. Estas páginas, dictadas por Lanza poco antes de morir, albergan no sólo un valiosísimo retrato de la vida que el maestro siciliano llevó en Palermo, sino también el privilegiado relato de formación de un muchacho que fue testigo de una aventura fascinante: el acercamiento de Lampedusa a la lengua y la literatura españolas.

Ha pasado un mes desde que Serena vio por última vez a Matías. Un mes desde la ruptura más dolorosa de su vida.

Durante esas madrugadas de insomnio, y también en su día a día, Serena empieza a imaginar conversaciones con Matías. Diálogos que evocan palabras que ella no había querido escuchar, frases que había decidido perdonar y muchos momentos en los que debería haberse alejado, pero no lo hizo. Con el cálido abrazo del tiempo, los libros y la naturaleza, la joven emprende un viaje de redescubrimiento en el que conectará con su lado más íntimo y salvaje, con su propio cuerpo y deseo, y volverá a abrirse al amor para dejar atrás ese fantasma que no le permite avanzar.
