NOVEDADES

The Coin’s narrator is a wealthy Palestinian woman with impeccable style and meticulous hygiene. And yet the ideal self, the ideal life, remains just out of reach: her inheritance is inaccessible, her homeland exists only in her memory, and her attempt to thrive in America seems doomed from the start. In New York, she strives to put down roots. She teaches at a school for underprivileged boys, where her eccentric methods cross boundaries. She befriends a homeless swindler, and the two participate in an intercontinental scheme reselling Birkin bags. But America is stifling her—her willfulness, her sexuality, her principles. In an attempt to regain control, she becomes preoccupied with purity, cleanliness, and self-image, all while drawing her students into her obsessions. In an unforgettable denouement, her childhood memories converge with her material and existential statelessness, and the narrator unravels spectacularly.

In this riveting sequel to The Pomegranate Gate, Toba, Naftaly, and their allies must defend a city under siege—while the desperate deals they’ve made begin to unravel around them. After a near-disastrous confrontation with La Caceria, Toba and Asmel are trapped on the human side of the gate, pursued by the Courser and a possessed Inquisitor. In the Mazik world, Naftaly’s visions are getting worse, predicting the prosperous gate city of Zayit in flames and overrun by La Caceria. Zayit is notorious for its trade in salt, a substance toxic to the near-immortal Maziks; if the Cacador can control the salt, he will be nearly unstoppable. But the stolen killstone, the key to the Cacador’s destruction, could eliminate the threat—if only Barsilay could find and use it.

¿De dónde venimos, quiénes somos, adónde vamos? Responder a esas tres célebres preguntas parece imposible pero, sorprendentemente, es convergente con la búsqueda de los científicos de la teoría del todo y su empeño por encontrar algún día un Santo Grial que responda a nuestras principales cuestiones. Este libro trata de averiguar si existe esa piedra filosofal que rige la totalidad de la existencia. Con un lenguaje divulgativo y atractivo, al tiempo que riguroso como buen economista, el sabio humanista, Ramón Tamames, busca a Dios en el universo. Pues la existencia de un principio responsable de toda la evolución parece ser avalada por la ciencia, según los testimonios de muchos de los principales científicos del siglo XX a los que Tamames refiere en esta obra.

In Gallup, New Mexico, where violent crime is five times the national average, a serial killer is operating unchecked, his targets indigent Native people whose murders are easily disguised as death by exposure on the frigid winter streets.

As the Gallup detectives struggle to put the pieces together, they consider calling in a controversial specialist to help.

Emily Brontë fue la mediana de las hermanas Brontë y, al igual que Anne y Charlotte, se convirtió en una afamada escritora gracias a su única novela, publicada un año antes de su muerte bajo un seudónimo masculino. Cumbres Borrascosas narra la desgarradora relación entre Catherine y Heathcliff, una historia de amor, pero también de celos, de odio y de venganza. Alejada del romanticismo tradicional, la novela supuso toda una revolución en cuanto a su estilo y su estructura, y aunque la crítica del momento le brindó una tibia acogida, el tiempo ha acabado concediéndole el lugar que se merece como uno de los grandes clásicos de la literatura universal.
