El Instituto

Stephen King · 2019

= SE RECLUTAN NIÑOS CON MENTES PRODIGIOSAS =<br/><br/>La nueva e inquietante novela del maestro Stephen King.<br/>En mitad de la noche en un barrio tranquilo de Minneapolis raptan a Luke Ellis, de doce años, tras haber asesinado a sus padres. Una operación que dura menos de dos minutos. Luke se despierta en la siniestra institución conocida como el Instituto, en un cuarto que se asemeja al suyo pero sin ventanas. En habitaciones parecidas hay más niños: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris y Avery Dixon, entre otros, que comparten capacidades especiales como la telequinesia o la telepatía. Todos ellos se alojan en la Mitad Delantera de la institución. Los mayores, en cambio, se encuentran en la Mitad Trasera. Como dice Kalisha: «El que entra no sale».<br/>La señora Sigsby, la directora, y el resto del personal se dedican a aprovecharse sin compasión del talento paranormal de los chicos. Si te portas bien te premian. Si no, el castigo es brutal. Luke se da cuenta de que las víctimas van desapareciendo y son trasladadas a la Mitad Trasera, así que se obsesiona con huir y pedir ayuda. Pero nunca nadie ha escapado del Instituto...<br/>Deudora de Ojos de fuego y con un elenco de personajes juveniles (como en It y en Stand By Me) con los que podemos empatizar, El Instituto nos recuerda de inmediato al mejor King, incluso aunque trate temas tan oscuros como los que copan los titulares hoy en día y que nos hacen temer por nuestro futuro.<br/>Reseñas:<br/>«Bajo los fuegos artificiales de su imaginación incansable, Stephen King nos muestra en sus mejores novelas que lo raro, lo extraordinario, lo verdaderamente insólito es vivir.»<br/>El Mundo<br/>«Las tramas de It y de El Instituto son totalmente distintas, pero en el fondo de ambas historias hay algo que el autor dice que le importa cada vez más estos días: no generar miedo, sino disiparlo.»<br/>The New York Times<br/>«Con el correr de los años, algo profundo ha cambiado en King. (...) Aquí está resumido lo sorprendente del nuevo Stephen King de El Instituto: su prosa.»<br/>La Razón<br/>«Una obra desgarradora, cómica, triste, feliz. Una obra en la que el terror no golpea sino que se arrastra. Su maestro vuelve a atacar.»<br/>El espectador

Circe

Madeline Miller · 2020

"A bold and subversive retelling of the goddess's story," this #1 New York Times bestseller is "both epic and intimate in its scope, recasting the most infamous female figure from the Odyssey as a hero in her own right" (Alexandra Alter, The New York Times). In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child -- not powerful like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power -- the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves. Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts, and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus, the murderous Medea, and, of course, wily Odysseus. But there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone and Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods, ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians. To protect what she loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and choose, once and for all, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love. With unforgettably vivid characters, mesmerizing language, and page-turning suspense, Circe is a triumph of storytelling, an intoxicating epic of family rivalry, palace intrigue, love and loss, as well as a celebration of indomitable female strength in a man's world. #1 New York Times bestseller -- named one of the best books of the year by NPR, the Washington Post, People, Time, Amazon, Entertainment Weekly, Bustle, Newsweek, the A.V. Club, Christian Science Monitor, Refinery 29, BuzzFeed, Paste, Audible, Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, Thrillist, NYPL, Self, Real Simple, Goodreads, Boston Globe, Electric Literature, BookPage, the Guardian, Book Riot, Seattle Times, and Business Insider

Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles Book 1)

Marissa Meyer · 2012

<p><b>The #1 <i>New York Times </i>Bestselling Series!</b><br><br>Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth's fate hinges on one girl. . . . <br><br>Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She's a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister's illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai's, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world's future. <br><br><b>Marissa Meyer on <i>Cinder</i>, writing, and leading men</b><br><i>Which of your characters is most like you?</i><br>I wish I could say that I'm clever and mechanically-minded like Cinder, but no—I can't fix anything. I'm much more like Cress, who makes a brief cameo in Cinder and then takes a more starring role in the third book. She's a romantic and a daydreamer and maybe a little on the naïve side—things that could be said about me too—although she does find courage when it's needed most. I think we'd all like to believe we'd have that same inner strength if we ever needed it. <br><i>Where do you write?</i><br>I have a home office that I've decorated with vintage fairy tale treasures that I've collected (my favorite is a Cinderella cookie jar from the forties) and NaNoWriMo posters, but sometimes writing there starts to feel too much like work. On those days I'll write in bed or take my laptop out for coffee or lunch.<br><i>If you were stranded on a desert island, which character from </i>Cinder<i> would you want with you?</i><br>Cinder, definitely! She has an internet connection in her brain, complete with the ability to send and receive comms (which are similar to e-mails). We'd just have enough time to enjoy some fresh coconut before we were rescued. <br><i>The next book in the Lunar Chronicles is called </i>Scarlet<i>, and is about Little Red Riding Hood. What is appealing to you most about this character as you work on the book?</i><br>Scarlet is awesome—she's very independent, a bit temperamental, and has an outspokenness that tends to get her in trouble sometimes. She was raised by her grandmother, an ex-military pilot who now owns a small farm in southern France, who not only taught Scarlet how to fly a spaceship and shoot a gun, but also to have a healthy respect and appreciation for nature. I guess that's a lot of things that appeal to me about her, but she's been a really fun character to write! (The two leading men in Scarlet, Wolf and Captain Thorne, aren't half bad either.)</p>
