A Guerra das Papoilas

A Guerra das Papoilas

Quando Rin passou no Keju — o teste para encontrar os jovens com mais talento do Império — todos se admiraram, até a própria Rin, que percebeu que estava livre da servidão e desespero da sua existência. O facto de ter entrado em Sinegard — a escola militar de elite de Nikan — foi ainda mais surpreendente. Mas as surpresas nem sempre são boas, especialmente quando se é uma órfã de pele escura com raízes camponesas pobres de quem veio de territórios do Sul. Perseguida por rivais, Rin vai descobrindo que detém um poder letal e sobrenatural — uma aptidão quase mística da arte do xamanismo. Explorando o seu poder com a ajuda de um professor aparentemente louco, Rin descobre que deuses considerados mortos estão, afinal, bastante vivos; e que dominar os seus poderes significa bem mais do que sobreviver à escola em Sinegard. Mesmo com o Império Nikara em paz, a Federação de Mugen espreita, perigosa, do outro lado do mar, antecipando uma nova Guerra das Papoilas. Rin, aprendendo com os seus poderes, teme que, para vencer uma guerra, possa ter de perder a sua humanidade. Se é que já não é demasiado tarde...

La ridícula idea de no volver a verte

La ridícula idea de no volver a verte

«Éste es un libro sobre la vida... apasionado y alegre, sentimental y burlón.» ROSA MONTEROCuando Rosa Montero leyó el maravilloso diario que Marie Curie comenzó tras la muerte de su esposo, y que se incluye al final de este libro, sintió que la historia de esa mujer fascinante que se enfrentó a su época le llenaba la cabeza de ideas y emociones. La ridícula idea de no volver a verte nació de ese incendio de palabras, de ese vertiginoso torbellino. Al hilo de la extraordinaria trayectoria de Curie, Rosa Montero construye una narración a medio camino entre el recuerdo personal y la memoria de todos, entre el análisis de nuestra época y la evocación íntima. Son páginas que hablan de la superación del dolor, de las relaciones entre hombres y mujeres, del esplendor del sexo, de la buena muerte y de la bella vida, de la ciencia y de la ignorancia, de la fuerza salvadora de la literatura y de la sabiduría de quienes aprenden a disfrutar de la existencia con plenitud y con ligereza. Vivo, libérrimo y original, este libro inclasificable incluye fotos, remembranzas, amistades y anécdotas que transmiten el primitivo placer de escuchar buenas historias. Un texto auténtico, emocionante y cómplice que te atrapará desde sus primeras páginas.

Cancellazione

Cancellazione

Affermare che la carriera da scrittore di Thelonious “Monk” Ellison sia arrivata a un punto fermo, è un eufemismo: il suo nuovo romanzo è stato rifiutato da diciassette editori, nonostante la critica abbia acclamato i libri precedenti. Ai margini del mondo letterario, ferito nell’orgoglio, assiste al successo clamoroso di una giovane autrice venuta dal nulla, il cui best seller Vita nel ghetto è in testa alle classifiche e in tutte le trasmissioni televisive, ammirato come il nuovo grande romanzo afroamericano. La colpa di Monk? La sua estrazione borghese – una famiglia di medici da generazioni – impedisce a lui, nero, di poter raccontare in modo credibile la vita reale dei neri d’America. Come può, lo si accusa, uno scrittore che non ha mai conosciuto la povertà e la miseria raccontarle nei suoi romanzi? Se il lavoro è un disastro, la vita privata non va meglio: per assistere la madre malata di Alzheimer si trasferisce da Los Angeles a Washington, nella casa in cui è cresciuto. Qui deve rimettere insieme i pezzi della sua vita: l’infanzia, il rapporto coi fratelli, l’eredità del padre, morto suicida sette anni prima. Per distrarsi dai ricordi e dalle delusioni della scrittura, Monk compone di getto una feroce parodia di Vita nel ghetto e di tutta la peggiore narrativa di genere. Il libro, scritto con uno pseudonimo, dovrebbe rimanere uno sfogo da tenere nel cassetto, ma quando il suo agente lo invia alle case editrici, il mondo dell’editoria impazzisce per il nuovo fenomeno letterario: al suo alter ego vengono offerti soldi, fama, successo. E ora Monk ha un altro, inatteso, problema da affrontare. “Una delle opere più sorprendenti di un gigante della letteratura americana.” NPR “Tra ironia e commozione, Cancellazione affronta in modo originale la questione razziale in America.” The New York Times Book Review “Un capolavoro. Un talento incredibile illuminato da una satira brillante.” Publishers Weekly “I libri di Everett sono immancabilmente intelligenti, divertenti, audaci e intellettualmente ambiziosi.” LA Weekly"

The Warrior's Path

The Warrior's Path

Filled with exciting tales of the frontier, the chronicle of the Sackett family is perhaps the crowning achievement of one of our greatest storytellers. In The Warrior’s Path, Louis L’Amour tells the story of Yance and Kin Sackett, two brothers who are the last hope of a young woman who faces a fate worse than death. When Yance Sackett’s sister-in-law is kidnapped, he and Kin race north from Carolina to find her. They arrive at a superstitious town rife with rumors—and learn that someone very powerful was behind Diana’s disappearance. To bring the culprit to justice, one brother must sail to the exotic West Indies. There, among pirates, cutthroats, and ruthless “businessmen,” he will apply the skills he learned as a frontiersman to an unfamiliar world—a world where one false move means instant death.

Whatever your adventure, you're guaranteed to find lots of romance, lots of epic fight scenes, and plenty of questionable decision-making by very emotional teens. All of the endings—there are over a hundred—feature beautiful illustrations by some of the greatest artists working today, including New York Times bestsellers Kate Beaton, ND Stevenson, Randall Munroe, and Jon Klassen. Packed with exciting choices, fun puzzles, secret surprises, terrible puns, and more than a billion possible storylines, Romeo and/or Juliet offers a new experience every time you read it.

The Terminal List

The Terminal List

#1 NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR“Take my word for it, James Reece is one rowdy motherf***er. Get ready!” —Chris Pratt, star of the #1 Amazon Prime series The Terminal ListA Navy SEAL has nothing left to live for and everything to kill for after he discovers that the American government is behind the deaths of his team in this ripped-from-the-headlines political thriller that is “so powerful, so pulse-pounding, so well-written—rarely do you read a debut novel this damn good” (Brad Thor, #1 New York Times bestselling author).On his last combat deployment, Lieutenant Commander James Reece’s entire team was killed in a catastrophic ambush. But when those dearest to him are murdered on the day of his homecoming, Reece discovers that this was not an act of war by a foreign enemy but a conspiracy that runs to the highest levels of government. Now, with no family and free from the military’s command structure, Reece applies the lessons that he’s learned in over a decade of constant warfare toward avenging the deaths of his family and teammates. With breathless pacing and relentless suspense, Reece ruthlessly targets his enemies in the upper echelons of power without regard for the laws of combat or the rule of law. “Told with a deft hand and a keen eye for detail, The Terminal List…is explosive and riveting” (Kevin Maurer, coauthor of No East Day) and is perfect for fans of Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, Stephen Hunter, and Nelson DeMille.

Ta-ra! ta-ra! ta-ra-ra-ra! ta-rat! Professor Krenner took the silver bugle from his lips while the strain echoed flatly from the opposite, wooded hill. That hill was the Isle of Hope, a small island of a single eminence lying half a mile off the mainland, and not far north of Freeling.

Claude François

Claude François

Le 8 mars 1978, disparaissait Claude François. Dix ans déjà. En 1988, l’éternel “Petit Prince” de la chanson aurait eu 49 ans. Homme de médias et de communication, homme d’affaires passionné sinon toujours avisé, nul doute qu’aujourd’hui Claude François se trouverait à la tête d’un véritable empire de presse, d’éditions phonographiques, voire audiovisuelles. Cet ouvrage – écrit par l’un de ses collaborateurs les plus proches, son directeur artistique, le parolier Guy Floriant – fait le point, avec tendresse mais sans aucune complaisance ni la moindre concession, sur la vie quotidienne et professionnelle de l’artiste qui, dans le petit monde du show business français, avait su, comme nul autre, prendre en main sa propre destinée. Un ouvrage-vérité, qui fait la part de la légende et de la réalité, et projette enfin toute la lumière sur celui qui, dans sa vie comme dans son métier, “filait plus vite que la musique.”
