NOVEDADES

Si hubiera tenido más tiempo, hubiera escrito una carta más corta», afirmó Pascal. Hoy lo breve nos invita, en medio de una sociedad enferma de frenesí, a detenernos: ante el epitafio enigmático de una lápida, ante el aforismo que sugiere sin decir, ante la pancarta que nos golpea con el alma de su lucha. Una mariposa nace, vive y muere en apenas unos días. Aunque efímero, contemplamos su vuelo con asombro. Y el aleteo de sus alas, como dice el proverbio chino, «se puede sentir al otro lado del mundo». La tesis de este libro es sencilla: lo breve entraña lo profundo.

Una expedición mágica. Un viaje al sur. Mistborn expande sus horizontes. Los Brazales de Duelo son las mentes de metal que antaño poseyó el lord Legislador. Casi nadie cree en su existencia, pero un investigador kandra regresa a Elendel con evidencias y una imagen que conmociona a Waxillium Landra: una fotografía de su hermana Telsin apresada por su tío, el líder de una siniestra organización conocida como el Grupo. Wax viaja al sur para investigar acompañado de Wayne, Marasi y MeLaan. Allí descubren que el Grupo ha encontrado los restos de un misterioso barco y tiene prisionero a un superviviente enmascarado. ¿Podrán Wax y los suyos localizar los Brazales antes de que caigan en manos equivocadas?

In order to protect her kingdom from the wrath of a vengeful goddess, Princess Candra must remain locked inside a tower for seven years. Seven long years without a friend―or a lover―by her side. And shut inside the tower with her? A Fellian, the enemy of her people, a fearsome warrior race complete with wings and claws and fangs. Nemeth is terrifying, cruel, and disturbingly magnetic. Candra should kill him for his supplies, but she’s desperate for his company…and his touch. As time inside the unchanging tower rolls on, Candra uncovers the man behind the stony facade. And when their tenure hits an unexpected snag, Candra and Nemeth are forced to make a difficult choice. They’ll need to face an outside world they no longer recognize, one that threatens their lives and their surprising love.

Reese Annesley was hiding in the bathroom hallway of a restaurant leaving a message for her best friend to save her from her awful date, when a gorgeous stranger overhears and offers her some dating advice. She proceeds to tell him to mind his own damn business his own tall, handsome, full-of-himself damn business and goes back to her miserable date, though she can't help but sneak hidden glances at the condescending jerk on the other side of the room. Of course, he catches her―and winks. When Chase Parker and his equally hot date suddenly appear at Reese's table, she's sure he's going to rat her out. But instead, he pretends he and Reese are old friends and joins them, telling elaborate, embarrassing stories about their fake childhood. And her date suddenly goes from boring to bizarrely exciting.

Cuando las James llegan los santos se persignan y las monjas aprietan el rosario. La Bratva lo tiene claro y por ello tienen una regla universal y es: no te enamores de la presa. Pero ¿qué pasa cuando una chiquilla de ojos azules entra como el impacto de una bala rompiendo sus normas? Ilenko Romanov es el boss de la mafia rusa y Vladimir es su heredero, ambos tienen claro que las James son armas mortales, pero Emma exuda un morbo que demuestra que es tan aguerrida, sensual y peligrosa como todas las mujeres de su apellido. Ellos tienen reglas y ella vive sin límites. Límites que sobrepasan ideales, reglas y prejuicios al punto de cambiar planes que parecían perfectos.

From the outset, the concept developed by Stefano Boeri for a residential building in 2004 proved to be forward-looking as it anticipated the new frontiers of urban living. Ten years after its inauguration, the Bosco Verticale (Vertical Forest) has kept all its promises and launched a new way of imagining contemporary cities. This book celebrates an architectural work that has become the symbol of a renewed collective sensibility toward care for the environment and the plant world. Edited by Stefano Boeri Architetti, it traces its entire history. “The Bosco Verticale is one of the few ‘living’ buildings whose life is still followed ten years later.” This was the inspiration behind the editorial structure of the volume, which is formed of three sections that evoke the growth of a tree: roots, trunk, and branches and leaves.
