At 32, Russell Green has it all: a stunning wife, a lovable six year-old daughter, a successful career as an advertising executive, and an expansive home in Charlotte. He is living the dream, and his marriage to the bewitching Vivian is at the center of it. But underneath the shiny surface of this perfect existence, fault lines are beginning to appear . . . In a matter of months, Russ finds himself without a job or a wife, caring for his young daughter while struggling to adapt to a new reality. Throwing himself into the wilderness of single parenting, Russ embarks on a journey at once terrifying and rewarding—one that will test his abilities and his emotional resources beyond anything he's ever imagined. When a chance encounter with an old flame tempts him to take a chance on love again, he navigates this new opportunity with trepidation and wonder. With the loyal support of his parents, the wisdom of his older sister, Marge, and the hard-won lessons of fatherhood, Russ will finally come to understand the true nature of unconditional love—that it is a treasure to be bestowed, not earned.

Viola Bowen has the chance of a lifetime: to design a video game based on her all-time favorite book series. The only problem? Her co-lead is Jesse F-ing Andrews, aka her archnemesis.

No, thank you. But as the snow piles on, Viola discovers there’s more to Jesse than she knew, and heat builds in more ways than one.

Publicada en 1940, esta novela reúne de manera única a dos virtuosos de la literatura húngara del siglo XX: Sándor Márai, el autor de El último encuentro, rinde homenaje a su maestro, Gyula Krúdy, personaje legendario de la bohemia literaria de Budapest y autor de una serie de novelas con Simbad como protagonista. Una mañana de mayo, Simbad se despide de su esposa con la promesa de volver, antes de que anochezca, con el dinero necesario para comprarle un vestido a su pequeña hija. Cediendo a la tentación de un paseo en carruaje, se entrega a un apacible paseo por la capital a través de sus lugares favoritos: el baño turco, el café en el que escribió o sus restaurantes preferidos. Entre realidad y ficción, Sándor Márai nos ofrece una historia donde sus propios recuerdos de antes de la guerra se mezclan con la imaginación de Gyula Krúdy, uno de los más grandes escritores húngaros.
