NOVEDADES

On the other side of town, in the dark glades, under the rain… Macon is the oldest. Thirty-one. Ex-Marine. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him smile. Army is twenty-eight. A single dad with the most beautiful green eyes. He has no idea who he is, if not a Jaeger brother. Iron will be in prison soon. You’d never think it to meet him. He’s a nice guy, actually. But he can’t stop reacting to everything. Dallas is the one I hate. Twenty-one, cruel, and selfish. He takes and then throws away whatever’s left. And Trace is mine. Or he was for about two seconds. No one can tame him for long. Not that I ever wanted to. It was fun, but now I need to go home. Back to my side of the tracks. Away from the swamps and these men. To my parents’ big house. On my clean street. Where I’m never dirty or messy or hot. And I will. I’ll leave first thing tomorrow morning. I just want to crash on the couch tonight. Their house is dark and quiet, everyone else is asleep. Except for one. He sees me crying and comes at me from behind. I let him wrap his arms around my body and hold me tightly. His breath is on my neck, his fingers are in my hair, and he doesn’t stop there. I don’t think it was Trace.

¿Qué es el estoicismo? es una introducción sencilla y para todos los públicos a una de las filosofías más influyentes de la actualidad. El estoicismo es una filosofía humanista que fue ideada para ayudar a sus practicantes a encontrar la paz interior y a protegerse de los golpes de los acontecimientos externos. Algunos pensadores modernos han hallado paralelismos entre los principios estoicos y las técnicas de la terapia cognitiva conductual moderna, y a muchos otros autores les ha sorprendido descubrir que sus postulados siguen siendo muy vigentes hoy en día. Por tanto, en ¿Qué es el estoicismo? los autores presentan esta singular filosofía a una nueva generación de lectores y practicantes.

It's been eighteen months since the Raxter School for Girls was put under quarantine. Since the Tox hit and pulled Hetty's life out from under her. It started slow. First the teachers died one by one. Then it began to infect the students, turning their bodies strange and foreign. Now, cut off from the rest of the world and left to fend for themselves on their island home, the girls don't dare wander outside the school's fence, where the Tox has made the woods wild and dangerous. They wait for the cure they were promised as the Tox seeps into everything.
