NOVEDADES

Lyra Bien intended to live a quiet life to avoid the attention of the magic-obsessed king in the fortress of Stonegate. Until Roark Ashwood—the prince’s silent guard and rumored killer for the crown—invades her village and uncovers the truth behind the silver scars in her eyes. To save her best friend from death, she’s forced to reveal her abilities, and is immediately claimed by the crown as the next melder. To be the King’s melder is to be revered and feared in equal measures, but above all it is a slow death sentence. Lyra is determined to find a way to free herself and her friends from bondage. But first she must get more information from the silent, brooding sentry who first took her captive: Roark. As Lyra gets closer to Roark, she soon learns he’s nothing like she assumed—and in fact everything she needs. The more they work as allies, the harder it becomes to ignore the growing passion between them. After a sinister truth is revealed, Roark and Lyra must choose to stand against all they know, or accept their dark destiny.

Desde que Henry David Thoreau describiera en Walden o Vida en los bosques (1854) los dos años, dos meses y dos días que habitó en una cabaña en Walden Pond (Massachusetts), la idea de una vivienda refugio ha seducido a la psique moderna. En la última década, con el crecimiento exponencial del consumo de materias primas y el impacto de nuestra huella ecológica, arquitectos internacionales se han interesado por las posibilidades que brinda un tipo de casa aislada, minimalista y de bajo impacto. Esta edición de Cabañas, que combina un texto en profundidad con abundantes fotografías y brillantes ilustraciones de Marie-Laure Cruschi, explora las oportunidades que brinda este tipo de arquitectura para la creatividad. La cabaña renuncia a los excesos y limita su intrusión espacial a cubrir las necesidades esenciales para vivir, al tiempo que se muestra respetuosa con el medio natural en el que se ubica y prioriza soluciones ecológicas. Así, las cabañas ofrecen algunas de las propuestas más innovadoras y con mayor visión de futuro de la arquitectura contemporánea, de la mano de Renzo Piano, Terunobu Fujimori, Tom Kundig y muchos otros jóvenes profesionales que trabajan en estos espacios refugio.

He's the most beautiful man I've ever seen…and the most dangerous. Eternally young and full of a brilliant passion that may ultimately be the end of me: my perfect Dorian Gray. The painting that's kept Dorian Gray flawless for over a century is beginning to fall apart, rotted by his life of reckless decadence. Desperate, he seeks out the only person who might be able to save him: a talented young painter descended from Dorian's first love. Baz may have the same magical gift as her ancestor, but she's vowed never to paint anyone's likeness again. Haunted by the memory of the terrible price her talent can exact, she swears she will not be swayed—not even by the seductive words dripping like venom from the lips of the most beautiful man she's ever met. Yet as Dorian tries to persuade Baz by any means possible, they become aware of a darker, deadlier magic awakening around them. Dangerous forces, long dormant, have been stirred by Baz's presence…and are determined to have her no matter the cost. As tensions rise and desire flares ever-hotter, Baz and Dorian become trapped in a complex web of conflicting motives, messy emotions, and a growing, desperate passion that may well consume them both.
