NOVEDADES

On August 28, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stood before thousands of Americans who had gathered at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. in the name of civil rights. Including the immortal words, “I have a dream,” Dr. King’s keynote speech would energize a movement and change the course of history. With references to the Gettysburg Address, the Emancipation Proclamation, the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, Shakespeare, and the Bible, Dr. King’s March on Washington address has long been hailed as one of the greatest pieces of writing and oration in history. Profound and deeply moving, it is as relevant today as it was sixty years earlier. This beautifully designed edition presents Dr. King’s speech in its entirety, paying tribute to this extraordinary leader and his immeasurable contribution, and inspiring a new generation of activists dedicated to carrying on the fight for justice and equality.

OPEN A DOOR AND ENTER A WORLD— A WORLD TRAPPED IN ETERNAL WINTER, AWAITING HOPE . . . AND FREEDOM. Four siblings step through a mysterious wardrobe and into the magical Narnia, a once-peaceful land now frozen in snow and stone by the cruelty of the evil White Witch. Only the return of the Great Lion, Aslan, can put an end to the White Witch’s tyranny and restore peace. But for winter to meet its death and spring to come again, a great sacrifice must be made. . . .

Esther Greenwood—brilliant, beautiful, and enormously talented—is about to embark on what should be the most exciting season of her life: a summer spent in New York City, interning for a magazine. But even though the life that is unfurling before her is everything she wants, she feels apart from it, unable to live in her life the way the other girls staying at the women's hotel seem able to do. And the further apart she feels from the noise and color of life around her, especially after she returns home to Massachusetts, the more she begins to collapse in on herself, slowly slipping farther and farther beneath the waves of her despair as treatment after treatment proves ineffectual. Sylvia Plath masterfully draws the reader into Esther’s mind with such intensity that her breakdown feels visceral and real, one that makes the early days of her recovery feel even more fragile. Plath's exploration into the darkest and most harrowing corners of the psyche is an extraordinary accomplishment and has made The Bell Jar a haunting American classic.

1828. Robin Swift, orphaned by cholera in Canton, is brought to London by the mysterious Professor Lovell. There, he trains for years in Latin, Ancient Greek, and Chinese, all in preparation for the day he’ll enroll in Oxford University’s prestigious Royal Institute of Translation—also known as Babel. Babel is the world's center for translation and, more importantly, magic. Silver working—the art of manifesting the meaning lost in translation using enchanted silver bars—has made the British unparalleled in power, as its knowledge serves the Empire’s quest for colonization. For Robin, Oxford is a utopia dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge. But knowledge obeys power, and as a Chinese boy raised in Britain, Robin realizes serving Babel means betraying his motherland. As his studies progress, Robin finds himself caught between Babel and the shadowy Hermes Society, an organization dedicated to stopping imperial expansion. When Britain pursues an unjust war with China over silver and opium, Robin must decide…

“Moonbeam. A moonfall is coming.” Raeve’s thirst for vengeance continues to burn, as does her love for Kaan Vaegor—a staunch beacon from a past she’s yet to face.

Something … Other. Something with the knowledge to change it all.

Grief is the price we pay for love... My name is Lorenzo Moretti. Born to be head of the Cosa Nostra, except that I chose love over my birthright. On our wedding day, my father cursed our union, swearing on his own blood that my wife and I would never live out our days in happiness. I guess he was right, because fate stole her from me and I’m left to live an empty life without her, with a shattered heart and only half a soul. On the day my wife died, I swore I’d never love anyone like that again, and it’s a promise I kept for two years. A promise I kept until her… She sauntered into my life wearing a dress the color of sunshine and with nothing else but an old Mustang and a smile. Beaten and bruised and seeking refuge behind my family’s walls. But I’m no white knight looking for redemption, and she’s sure no damsel in distress. She’s annoying as hell. With no filter and an eternally sunny disposition. She says whatever’s on her mind, no matter how poorly judged it might be. She’s everything I don’t want.

En un mundo saturado de discursos pulidos, relatos vacíos y marketing político, algunos líderes rompen las reglas del juego y logran algo que desconcierta: ganan cuando nadie lo espera y resisten cuando se les da por acabados. ¿Qué tienen en común figuras tan distintas como Donald Trump, Pedro Sánchez, Javier Milei, José Mujica o Andrés López Obrador? Inspirado en la arquitectura brutalista, este libro revela una forma de hacer política basada en cinco pilares: autenticidad, pragmatismo, resistencia, simplicidad y conexión con la comunidad. Pero no se queda en la metáfora. A lo largo de sus páginas descubrirás cómo funcionan las técnicas psicopolíticas, cómo segmentar al electorado, cómo captar la atención de una audiencia saturada de estímulos y cómo plantar ideas en la mente de los votantes sin imponerlas. Ejemplos reales, historias sorprendentes y herramientas prácticas para mostrar que persuadir consiste en sembrar ideas.

A lo largo de cuatro noches en San Petersburgo un joven solitario tiene una serie de encuentros con una joven de diecisiete años, Nástenka, que vive con su abuela ciega y una criada sorda. La muchacha está comprometida con un inquilino que ha tenido su abuela en casa, un joven distinguido que las ha deslumbrado con sus lecturas y sus invitaciones a la ópera. Sin embargo, ha tenido que ausentarse para resolver unos asuntos en Moscú y, aunque ahora ella está segura de que ha vuelto, no ha dado señales de vida. A partir de esta situación, Dostoievski escribió uno de sus relatos más famosos, al que en este volumen unimos otros once de la primera etapa de su producción. Noches blancas y otros relatos (1846-1849) nos revela a un autor en el que ya se distingue al de sus grandes novelas, aunque algunas de las narraciones tienen un tono cómico y vodevilesco que pueden sorprender al lector.
