NOVEDADES

Meddy has spent her whole life as a footnote in someone else's story. Out of place next to her beautiful, immortal sisters, she dreams of leaving her family's island for a life of adventure. So when she catches the eye of the goddess Athena, who invites her to train as a priestess in her temple, Meddy leaps at the chance to see the world beyond her home. Flourishing in her role as Athena's favoured acolyte, all it takes is one fateful night to irrevocably alter the course of Meddy's promising future forever. With her locs transformed into snakes as punishment for a crime she did not commit, Meddy must embrace a new identity - not as a victim, but as a vigilante - and with it, the chance to write her own story as mortal, martyr and myth.

Las ciencias y la revolución tecnológica ofrecen emancipación a las necesidades humanas. La filosofía apuesta por un proyecto de sentido basado en la razón. La religión promete trascendencia y salvación, no solo para el más allá de la muerte, sino para el más acá de la vida. Son tres proyectos distintos, pero que nunca se han dado aislados. Sus dinámicas interaccionan y se apoyan al mismo tiempo que se critican y buscan imponerse. Cada una de estas tres propuestas ha fracasado y ha bloqueado al ser humano. La crítica a la religión es tan vieja como la filosofía, y la ciencia moderna la ha sustentado. Pero hoy es la creencia religiosa la que puede interpelar a la increencia avisando de las trampas en las que caen ciencia y filosofía y contribuyendo a sus ofertas de emancipación y sentido.

Clementine Clark isn’t looking for love. Growing up with a single mom who weeps over a new guy each week tends to have that effect on a girl. But Clementine doesn’t mind being the rational one—she’s even buried her musical dreams so deeply within herself that she hardly notices the hole it’s left in her life. That is until her best friend calls her with a life-changing opportunity: to join Irish megastar Halloran on his first US tour as a backing vocalist. Clementine wants to reject the offer, but the pay is enough to change her and her mom’s life. Overnight, Clementine goes from serving enchiladas at the Happy Tortilla to belting high notes before a cheering crowd. But the whiplash of trading small-town Texas for sold-out stadiumsis nothing compared to the rush of performing with the enigmatic Thomas Patrick Halloran. Poet, introvert, and lyrical genius, Halloran quickly gets under Clementine’s skin. The two couldn’t see the world more differently. And yet, over the course of the next eight weeks on tour, the romantic rockstar might just strike an unforgettable chord in Clementine. But will it be enough for an encore?
