NOVEDADES

Ramona fell for Sam the moment she met him. It was like she had known him forever. He's one of the few constants in her life, and their friendship is just too important to risk for a kiss. Though she really wants to kiss him... Sam loves Ramona, but he would never expect her to feel the same way-she's too quirky and cool for someone like him. Still, they complement each other perfectly, both as best friends and as a band. Then they meet Tom. Tom makes music too, and he's the band's missing piece. The three quickly become inseparable. Except Ramona's falling in love with Tom. But she hasn't fallen out of love with Sam either. How can she be true to her feelings and herself without losing the very relationships that make her heart sing?

Since the launch of his first book and hit TV Show Million Dollar Decorators, Jeffrey Alan Marks has married and become a father. His growing family grounds his new book, a celebration of the idea of home as represented in ten houses, bookended by his own on the West and East Coasts. Marks believes a home must reflect the way its inhabitants want to live, their unique perspective, and how they approach their lives. Trained in England, Marks has long had a deep and profound architectural crush on the British vernacular, which creates a pleasing interplay with his Southern California roots. The result: homes that feel layered and dramatic, but always comfortable.

Tudor es el hijo menor de dos sirvientes de la corte de un gran boyardo de la atrasada Valaquia. Desde su nacimiento, la ambición parece guiar cada uno de sus pasos, y en su arduo ascenso al poder no dudará en dejar su camino sembrado de cadáveres. En su historia se cruzan el rey Salomón, la reina de Saba, el bisabuelo de John Lennon, el general Napier y la reina Victoria. Tudor será Theodoros: bandido y pirata, pecador devoto, el terror de los mares de la Hélade. Vivirá en bosques y monasterios, presenciará batallas y milagros, y finalmente se convertirá en Tewodros: el despiadado Emperador de Emperadores, soberano absoluto de Abisinia. Theodoros constituye un ejercicio de pura libertad creativa en una narración torrencial, libérrima, exuberante, la culminación de una obra absolutamente épica. Un terremoto literario. Una novela arrolladora que abarca desde lo realista hasta lo fantasmagórico. Historias de amor y de aventuras, reales y fantásticas, voluptuosas y crueles. Cărtărescu entrelaza lo histórico, lo legendario y lo filosófico con pasajes prodigiosamente hermosos para crear un universo que abarca desde la Creación hasta nuestros días y que va incluso más lejos: hasta el Juicio Final.

The Wrigley represents the high-water mark of Beaux Arts Classicism in the city, a gleaming white palazzo at the head of Chicago’s grandest boulevard, Michigan Avenue. With lavish terra-cotta ornamentation, it was Chicago’s tallest building when it opened in 1921. The book focuses on the intertwined stories of William Wrigley Jr., the larger-than-life founder of the chewing gum empire, and Charles Gerhard Beersman, the relatively unknown architect who, mentored by architect Julia Morgan, brought the building to life.

This fully annotated volume collects three of Baum's fourteen Oz novels in which he developed his utopian vision and which garnered an immense and loyal following. The Wizard of Oz (1900) introduces Dorothy, who arrives from Kansas and meets the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion, and a host of other characters. The Emerald City of Oz (1910) finds Dorothy, Aunt Em, and Uncle Henry coming to Oz just as the wicked Nome King is plotting to conquer its people. In Baum's final novel, Glinda of Oz (1920), Dorothy and Princess Ozma try to prevent a battle between the Skeezers and the Flatheads. Tapping into a deeply rooted desire in himself and his loyal readers to live in a peaceful country which values the sharing of talents and gifts, Baum's imaginative creation, like all great utopian literature, holds out the possibility for change.
