Una novela que abrirá tu mente y tu corazón: el fenómeno que está fascinando al mundo entero.Trabajo, trabajo y más trabajo. Linus Baker podría ser una persona cualquiera, en un lugar cualquiera, viviendo una vida cualquiera. Él estaba convencido de esto, y si tú lo hubieras conocido, tampoco habrías dudado en asegurar que Linus pertenecía al montón, ni más, ni menos. Y así era, hasta el día en que este funcionario del Departamento de Jóvenes Mágicos es llamado por Altísima Dirección para supervisar un orfanato del que apenas hay registros.Con esta nueva tarea entre manos, Linus viajará a la isla de Marsyas, donde deberá supervisar a seis huérfanos catalogados como peligrosos (hablamos del futuro Anticristo, entre otros) y a su enigmático cuidador.

Porque en Marsyas, Linus descubrirá que el camino a la felicidad es distinto para cada uno de nosotros, y, que si te atreves a recorrerlo, llegarás al lugar donde te encontrarás a ti mismo.

Eureka: A Prose Poem

Eureka: A Prose Poem

This book is a lengthy non-fiction work which was subtitled A Prose Poem, though it has also been subtitled as An Essay on the Material and Spiritual Universe. Adapted from a lecture he had presented, Eureka describes Poe's intuitive conception of the nature of the universe with no scientific work done to reach his conclusions. He also discusses man's relationship with God, whom he compares to an author.

What Is Man? and Other Essays

What Is Man? and Other Essays

"What Is Man", published by Mark Twain in 1906, is a dialogue between a young man and an older man jaded to the world. It involves ideas of destiny and free will, as well as of psychological egoism. The Old Man asserted that the human being is merely a machine, and nothing more. The Young Man objects, and asks him to go into particulars and furnish his reasons for his position. This collection of short stories covers a wide range of Twain's interests: the serious, the political and the ironically humorous.

Store små løgne

Store små løgne

Er det mord? En tragisk hændelse? Eller bare forældre, der ikke kan opføre sig ordentligt. Sikkert er det i hvert fald, at nogen er død. Store små løgne følger tre kvinder, som har hver sine udfordringer. Madeline er en stærk kvinde, sjov og skarp, lidenskabelig - og ikke den tilgivende type. Hendes ex-mand og hans nye yogi-kone er flyttet ind i Madelines elskede kvarter, og deres datter er startet i samme børnehave som Madelines yngste. Som om det ikke kunne være nok, lader det til, at hendes teenagedatter er begyndt at foretrække sin far fremfor Madeline. Celeste er så smuk, der får folk til at standse op og kigge efter sig. Hun har et krævende sæt tvillinger, som skal starte i børnehaveklasse, og Celeste og hendes mand er på næsten royal vis klar til at indtageskolen, men sådan en position får man ikke uden videre. Den tredje kvinde, vi lærer at kende, er den enlige mor, Jane, som er så ung, at de andre tror, hun er barnepigen. Hun er tænksom, indadvendt og bærer på dybe hemmeligheder om sin søn. Da Madeline og Celeste tager Jane under deres vinger, har ingen af dem nogen ide om, hvor meget det vil ændre og påvirke deres liv. Store små løgne er et skarpt portræt af ex-mænd og deres nye koner, mødre og døtre, skolegårdsskandaler - og de små farlige løgne, vi fortæller os selv for at klare hverdagen. Liane Moriarty (f. 1966) har et stort forfatterskab bag sig og har ligget øverst på bestsellerlisterne verden over. MIN MANDS HEMMELIGHED, hendes første roman oversat til dansk, har været månedens bog på Amazon. Forfatteren bor i Sydney med sin mand og deres to børn.

Demon Copperhead

Demon Copperhead

Damon Fields bliver født på badeværelsesgulvet i en trailerpark i det sydvestlige Virginia i slutningen af 1980'erne. Hans enlige teenagemor har rustet sig til at føde med en blanding af alkohol og stoffer. Mens hun ryger ind og ud af afvænningsklinikker, ryger Damon, der snart får kælenavnet Demon, ind og ud af systemet og diverse plejefamilier. Da han får en knæskade, truer misbrugsmønstret med at gentage sig, og han får brug for sin kampgejst, sin charme, sin humor og sin ukuelige overlevelsesevne for at kunne klare det liv, der venter ham."Demon Copperhead" er en medrivende dannelsesroman, der strækker sig fra 1980’erne til i dag. Det er en episk fortælling om kærlighed, tab og alt derimellem, og en gribende beretning om det fattige udkants-USA, hvor opioiderne flyder frit, og hver dag er en kamp for overlevelse.”Måske den bedste roman i 2022. Lige dele morsom og hjerteskærende. Det er fortællingen om en ukuelig dreng, som ingen vil have, men som læserne vil elske.”Washington Post

Eve's Diary

Eve's Diary

Eve's Diary is a comic short story by Mark Twain. It was first published in the 1905 Christmas issue of the magazine Harper's Bazaar, and in book format in June 1906 by Harper and Brothers [1] publishing house. It is written in the style of a diary kept by the first woman in the biblical creation story, Eve, and is claimed to be "translated from the original MS". The "plot" of this novel is the first-person account of Eve from her creation up to her burial by, her mate, Adam, including meeting and getting to know Adam, and exploring the world around her, Eden. The story then jumps 40 years into the future after the Fall and expulsion from Eden. It is one of a series of books Twain wrote concerning the story of Adam and Eve, including 'Extracts from Adam's Diary', 'That Day In Eden', 'Eve Speaks', 'Adam's Soliloquy', and the 'Autobiography of Eve'. Eve's Diary has a lighter tone than the others in the series, as Eve has a strong appreciation for beauty and love. The book may have been written as a posthumous love-letter to Mark Twain's wife Olivia Langdon Clemens, or Livy, who died in June 1904, just before the story was written. Mark Twain is quoted as saying, "Eve's Diary is finished — I've been waiting for her to speak, but she doesn't say anything more". The story ends with Adam's speaking at Eve's grave, "Wherever she was, there was Eden".

Il Ripulitore: L'ombra del tradimento (Segretissimo)

Il Ripulitore: L'ombra del tradimento (Segretissimo)

Disfarsi di un cadavere è la parte più semplice, per Quinn. È il suo lavoro ripulire da ogni traccia la scena di un'azione letale. Ma stavolta la faccenda si rivela più complicata. Se così non fosse, non si ritroverebbe a girare in macchina per New York con il corpo di un pezzo grosso semidivorato dai topi nel bagagliaio. Non ci voleva, non adesso. Viene per tutti il momento di appendere la pistola al chiodo, e lui non fa eccezione: ancora tre missioni e stop, era questo l'accordo con il capo dell'Ufficio supersegreto a cui offre i suoi servizi. La prima, in Irlanda, non è andata come doveva, con qualche rischio di troppo. Incerti del mestiere. Poi, di ritorno negli Stati Uniti, il nuovo incarico: introdursi in un palazzo abbandonato dove poco prima un'operativa della CIA è saltata in aria su una trappola esplosiva. Da quel luogo pieno di insidie e di sorprese si delinea una pista che unisce tutti i puntini e porta dritta a un intrigo internazionale. Per il Ripulitore, non proprio il modo più tranquillo di avviarsi alla pensione.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Alternatingly heart-pounding and heartbreaking. This collaboration between two best-selling authors seamlessly weaves together Olivia and Lily’s journeys, creating a provocative exploration of the strength that love and acceptance require.”—The Washington Post   GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK • PEOPLE’S BOOK OF THE WEEK • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: PopSugarOlivia McAfee knows what it feels like to start over. Her picture-perfect life—living in Boston, married to a brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon, raising their beautiful son, Asher—was upended when her husband revealed a darker side. She never imagined that she would end up back in her sleepy New Hampshire hometown, living in the house she grew up in and taking over her father’s beekeeping business.   Lily Campanello is familiar with do-overs, too. When she and her mom relocate to Adams, New Hampshire, for her final year of high school, they both hope it will be a fresh start.    And for just a short while, these new beginnings are exactly what Olivia and Lily need. Their paths cross when Asher falls for the new girl in school, and Lily can’t help but fall for him, too. With Ash, she feels happy for the first time. Yet she wonders if she can trust him completely. . . .   Then one day, Olivia receives a phone call: Lily is dead, and Asher is being questioned by the police. Olivia is adamant that her son is innocent. But she would be lying if she didn’t acknowledge the flashes of his father’s temper in Ash, and as the case against him unfolds, she realizes he’s hidden more than he’s shared with her. Mad Honey is a riveting novel of suspense, an unforgettable love story, and a moving and powerful exploration of the secrets we keep and the risks we take in order to become ourselves.

Demon Copperhead

Demon Copperhead

Demon Copperhead este povestea unui băiat adus pe lume de o mamă adolescentă, dependentă de droguri, un băiat fără alte atuuri în afară de frumusețea și părul arămiu moștenite de la tatăl decedat, spiritul caustic și un talent extraordinar de a supraviețui. El se vede obligat să înfrunte singur pericolele pe care le implică asistența maternală, exploatarea prin muncă, abandonul școlar, succesul sportiv, dependența, iubirile dezastruoase și pierderile devastatoare.Cu generații în urmă, Charles Dickens a scris David Copperfield pornind de la experiența lui de copil orfan de tată, supus unui regim de viață sever. Romanul de față este un omagiu adus lui Dickens și un protest față de o realitate care încă există. Cadrul victorian este substituit de Barbara Kingsolver cu o comunitate șocant de pauperă și cât se poate de reală din America zilelor noastre. Cu furie și compasiune, ea scrie o poveste răscolitor de frumoasă și creează unul dintre cele mai memorabile personaje din literatura contemporană, care te va cuceri cu siguranță.„Deopotrivă amuzant și dureros, romanul este povestea unui băiat imposibil de stăpânit, pe care nimeni nu-l vrea, dar pe care cititorii îl vor adora." – Washington Post„Barbara Kingsolver simte o plăcere aproape palpabilă de a scrie, creând imagini care nu-l mai părăsesc pe cititor." – New York Times Book Review„Barbara Kingsolver este o scriitoare care ne poate ajuta să înțelegem și să ne orientăm prin haosul acestor vremuri." – Minneapolis Star Tribune„După cum descoperă Demon, asumarea propriei povești – a fiecărei părți din ea – și găsirea unei modalități de a o spune reprezintă modul prin care poate să preia controlul asupra vieții. Și ce poveste! Intensă, pasională, sfâșietor de evocatoare, expusă de un narator care este produsul mai multor sisteme eșuate, într-adevăr, dar și al unui peisaj rural profund, cu propriile tradiții durabile." – The Guardian
