NOVEDADES

Most importantly, she lost her father. But when someone anonymously donates two million dollars to her GoFundMe, it’s like she’s won the worst sort of lottery. She’s a millionaire, but at what cost? With every person who comes into the diner where she works, she wonders, “Was it you?” The only person she’s sure didn’t donate the money is her extremely hot—and extremely standoffish—coworker, Logan Evans. Ever since he started at the diner, he’s acted like he hates her. Which is why she’s shocked when he helps her save face in front of her ex… Their attraction can’t be denied, but when River discovers a long-hidden family secret, she suddenly finds herself questioning everyone in her life. Her dad, who wasn’t as perfect as he seemed. Her chaotic mother, who left without so much as a goodbye at the beginning of her senior year. The anonymous donor, whose intentions may not have been altruistic after all. And most especially Logan, who has dark secrets of his own. After the fire, River thought she had hit rock bottom. But as it turns out, there’s always more to lose…

Nights have always been Auden’s time, her chance to escape everything that’s going on around her. Then she meets Eli, a fellow insomniac, and he becomes her nocturnal tour guide. Now, with an endless supply of summer nights between them, almost anything can happen. . . .

Cuán complejo y completo es un personaje histórico y a la vez ficticio que conjunta características de Leonardo da Vinci, Erasmo de Rotterdam, Nicolás Copérnico, Paracelso, Étienne Dolet, Miguel Servet, Andreas Vesalio, Ambroise Paré, Andrea Cesalpin, Girolamo Cardano, Galileo Galilei, Campanella, Giordano Bruno y otros. Y qué amplio el intelecto creativo y qué calidad de investigación los de Marguerite Yourcenar con los que descubrió a esa figura, a Zenón, el héroe de "Opus Nigrum", su mejor novela.Magia, literatura y alquimia se entrelazan en esta obra singular y enigmática.Más allá incluso del control sobre sus propias imaginaciones e indagaciones, Yourcenar reveló un personaje en el que hay más de lo que ella hubiera sido consciente en primera instancia. Roger Bacon, el enigmático y fascinante filósofo de la Edad Media, puede ser una de esas naturalezas ocultas pero determinantes en el peregrino Zenón, imagen del filósofo, el médico, el alquimista, también del herborista y, ocasionalmente, del astrólogo; imagen, en una palabra –tan estimada entre los alquimistas–, del buscador. Si la escritora pensó en Zenón como un hombre muy grande, el resultado, sin embargo, fue un hombre infinito.
