NOVEDADES

Ten years ago, Malik’s life changed forever the night his mother mysteriously vanished and he discovered he had uncontrollable powers. Since then, he has kept his abilities hidden, looking out for himself and his younger foster brother, Taye. Now, at 17, Malik is finally ready to start a new life for both of them, far from the trauma of his past. However, a daring act to rescue Taye reveals an unexpected connection with his long-lost grandmother: a legendary conjurer with ties to a hidden magical university that Malik’s mother attended. At Caiman University, Malik’s eyes are opened to a future he never could have envisioned for himself—one that includes the reappearance of his first love, Alexis. His search for answers about his heritage, his powers, and what really happened to his mother exposes the cracks in their magical community as it faces a reawakened evil dating back to the Haitian Revolution. Together with Alexis, Malik discovers a lot beneath the surface at Caiman: feuding covens and magical politics, forbidden knowledge and buried mysteries.

Estructurada sobre los ejes del amor, la filosofía y la muerte, esta nueva antología de las obras de Alfonsina Storni pone de relieve la gran variedad tonal e intelectual de una de las figuras más importantes de la poesía hispanoamericana de primera mitad del siglo XX. Sus poemas más famosos encuentran su contrapunto en textos en prosa poco conocidos, y del conjunto surge la potencia de una voz que incluye tanto la protesta como la celebración de la naturaleza o la reivindicación de la igualdad. Con una introducción escrita desde una perspectiva actual, esta antología rinde homenaje a la obra de Storni y aspira a acercar a nuevos públicos.

Borges y Bioy Casares compartieron cincuenta años de amistad literaria, buena parte de los cuales los pasaron encerrados, escribiendo juntos. Eran el mismo otro: un tercer escritor, inasimilable a uno tanto como al otro, profundamente excéntrico. De ahí que Bustos Domecq y Suárez Lynch -los alias con que formalizan la existencia del Tercer Escritor- sean algo más que seudónimos. Son escritores de derecho, tan autores como los autores que los inventaron. En ese otro llamado Bustos Domecq o Suárez Lynch descubrieron la posibilidad prematura, y por eso doblemente fascinante, de esa experiencia de balbuceo, inestabilidad y desequilibrio que Adorno llamó "estilo tardío", y que los artistas, según él, sólo alcanzaban una vez que eran dueños absolutos de sus medios artísticos. El estilo tardío es el malestar hecho estilo, una suerte de implosión que sacude la obra y la vuelve contra sí misma, al precio incluso de liquidarla. Esa obra maestra enferma, irreconocible para sí misma, Adorno decía que sólo podía aparecer al final de algo. Con la obra del Tercer Escritor, Borges y Bioy demostraron que también podía aparecer en el medio, en una zona de pasaje, que la pasión política podía ser su motor activo, el chiste al cuadrado su lógica de vértigo y la risa su signo, su huella digital y su música. Del prólogo de Alan Pauls

A healer from the Sylvan Vale could help her, but only Arjun Desai, as a half fey, can cross the boundary between realms. The Sylvan Vale is a world Arjun despises, and in return, it despises him. But knowing it could save Odette, he returns to the Vale with all haste, leaving the mirrored tare between the two worlds open and unwittingly setting the stage for both love and war. It’s mere days until Pippa Montrose is to wed Phoebus Devereux and become a member of his well-heeled family, offering salvation to her own. But Celine is missing.

Pippa enjoins the help of Eloise, the daughter of a powerful sorceress, to discover the gateway Arjun uses to travel between worlds. Pippa, tired of hesitating in life, marches right through in search of her friend. But what she discovers on the other side is a dangerous, duplicitous world full of mischief and magic she doesn’t understand, and most unexpectedly, she finds love.

Lan spends her nights as a songgirl in Haak’gong, a city transformed by the Elantian colonizers. Her days are consumed by the search for knowledge about the strange mark—an untranslatable Hin character—burned into her arm by her mother in her last act before she died. Zen is a practitioner—one of the fabled magicians of the Last Kingdom. He’s never seen anything like Lan’s mark, but he knows that if there are answers, they lie deep in the pine forests and misty mountains of the Last Kingdom, with an order of practitioning masters planning to overthrow the Elantian regime. Yet, both Lan and Zen are hiding secrets—secrets that are buried deep within them. Secrets that even they have still to unearth. Both hold the power to liberate their land, if they don’t destroy it first. Now the battle for the Last Kingdom begins.
