Agustina Bazterrica • 2020
<b>PREMIO CLARÍN 2017</b><br><br><b>En esta despiadada distopía -tan brutal como sutil, tan alegórica como realista-, Agustina Bazterrica inspira, con el poder explosivo de la ficción, sensaciones y debates de suma actualidad.</b><br><br>La súbita aparición de un virus letal que ataca a los animales modifica de manera irreversible el mundo: desde las fieras hasta las mascotas deben ser sistemáticamente sacrificadas, y su carne ya no puede ser consumida. Los gobiernos enfrentan la situación con una decisión drástica: legalizando la cría, reproducción, matanza y procesamiento de carne humana. El canibalismo es ley y la sociedad ha quedado dividida en dos grupos: los que comen y los que son comidos.<br><br>Marcos Tejo, encargado general del frigorífico Krieg, separado de su esposa y a cargo de su padre, es un oscuro burócrata. El día en que recibe como regalo una mujer criada para el consumo, las tentaciones lo transforman en una conciencia peligrosa de pliegues truculentos que lo llevará a transgredir las nuevas normas hasta límites que la sociedad desconoce.<br><br>¿Qué resto de humanidad cabe cuando los muertos son cremados para evitar su consumo? ¿Quién es el otro si, de verdad, somos lo que comemos?<br><br><b>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION<br><br><b>The electrifying, award-winning, internationally bestselling novel about a dystopian world in which animals have been wiped out, humans are being harvested for food, and society has been divided into those who eat and those who are eaten.</b><br><br></b>Working at the local processing plant, Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans—though no one calls them that anymore. His wife has left him, his father is sinking into dementia, and Marcos tries not to think about how he makes a living. After all, it happened so quickly. First, it was reported that animals had been infected with a virus and their meat had become poisonous. Then governments initiated the Transition. Now, human meat—“special meat”—is legal. Marcos tries to stick to numbers, consignments, processing.<br><br>Then one day he’s given a gift: a specimen of the finest quality. He leaves her in his barn, tied up, a problem to be disposed of later. But she haunts Marcos. Her trembling body, her watchful, knowing eyes. Though he’s aware that any form of personal contact is forbidden on pain of death, little by little he starts to treat her like a human being. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost—and what might still be saved.<br><br>From Agustina Bazterrica, one of Latin America’s most celebrated and original new voices, <i>Tender Is the Flesh</i> is propulsive and profound, a searing cautionary tale about the cost of consumption and the ties that bind and break us.

LA FÓRMULA DEL AMOR EXISTE.<br/><br/>ESO NO SIGNIFICA QUE LEXI ESTÉ DISPUESTA A ACEPTAR LOS RESULTADOS.<br/><br/>La comedia romántica perfecta para volver a enamorarte del amor.<br/><br/>Toda la universidad conoce a @nosoycupido, la adictiva cuenta de Instagram que empareja a los estudiantes. Pero solo une a dos parejas por semestre, así que las probabilidades de ser seleccionado son bajas. O eso creía Lexi hasta que la emparejaron con Brice.<br/><br/>Dedicada a sus estudios por completo, Lexi no tiene ninguna intención de meterse en una relación amorosa y el constante espionaje de la cuenta anónima no hace más que sacarla de sus casillas. Por eso, cuando Brice se ofrece a iniciar una relación falsa para desenmascarar a @nosoycupido, Lexi no lo duda ni un segundo.<br/><br/>Pero con una legión de fans siguiendo todos sus movimientos, una beca en juego por la que compite con Brice y un novio falso demasiado perfecto para el bienestar de su ritmo cardíaco, la reacción en cadena es inminente...<br/><br/>Y no hay enlace químico más inestable que el del amor.<br/><br/>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION<br/><br/>THE FORMULA FOR LOVE EXISTS.<br/><br/>BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN LEXI IS WILLING TO ACCEPT THE RESULTS.<br/><br/>The perfect romantic comedy for falling back in love with love.<br/><br/>The whole university knows about @nosoycupido, the addictive Instagram matchmaking account for students. But it only picks two couples per semester, so the chances of being chosen are low. Or that’s what Lexi thinks, until the app matches her with Brice.<br/><br/>Immersed in her studies, Lexi has no intention of starting a romantic relationship, and the constant nagging from the anonymous account is driving her nuts. So, when Brice suggests they start a fake relationship to unmask @nosoycupido, Lexi agrees on the spot.<br/><br/>But with a legion of fans following her every move; a scholarship at stake, for which she and Brice are both contenders; and a fake boyfriend who’s too good to be true, a chain reaction isn’t long in coming...<br/><br/>And there’s no chemical bond more volatile than love.
Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail
Ashley Herring Blake • 2022
An interior designer who is never without the perfect plan learns to renovate her love life without one in this new romantic comedy by Ashley Herring Blake, author of Delilah Green Doesn’t Care.<br/><br/>For Astrid Parker, failure is unacceptable. Ever since she broke up with her fiancé a year ago, she’s been focused on her career—her friends might say she’s obsessed, but she knows she’s just driven. When Pru Everwood asks her to be the designer for the Everwood Inn’s renovation, which will be featured on a popular HGTV show, Innside America, Astrid is thrilled. Not only will the project distract her from her failed engagement and help her struggling business, but her perpetually displeased mother might finally give her a nod of approval.<br/><br/>However, Astrid never planned on Jordan Everwood, Pru’s granddaughter and the lead carpenter for the renovation, who despises every modern design decision Astrid makes. Jordan is determined to preserve the history of her family’s inn, particularly as the rest of her life is in shambles. When that determination turns into some light sabotage to ruffle Astrid’s perfect little feathers, the showrunners ask them to play up the tension. But somewhere along the way, their dislike for each other evolves into something quite different, and Astrid must decide what success truly means. Is she going to pursue the life that she’s expected to lead or the one that she wants?
Delilah Green Doesn't Care
Ashley Herring Blake • 2022
A clever and steamy queer romantic comedy about taking chances and accepting love—with all its complications—from the author of Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail.<br/><br/>Delilah Green swore she would never go back to Bright Falls—nothing is there for her but memories of a lonely childhood where she was little more than a burden to her cold and distant stepfamily. Her life is in New York, with her photography career finally gaining steam and her bed never empty. Sure, it’s a different woman every night, but that’s just fine with her.<br/><br/>When Delilah’s estranged stepsister, Astrid, pressures her into photographing her wedding with a guilt trip and a five-figure check, Delilah finds herself back in the godforsaken town that she used to call home. She plans to breeze in and out, but then she sees Claire Sutherland, one of Astrid’s stuck-up besties, and decides that maybe there’s some fun (and a little retribution) to be had in Bright Falls, after all.<br/><br/>Having raised her eleven-year-old daughter mostly on her own while dealing with her unreliable ex and running a bookstore, Claire Sutherland depends upon a life without surprises. And Delilah Green is an unwelcome surprise…at first. Though they’ve known each other for years, they don’t really know each other—so Claire is unsettled when Delilah figures out exactly what buttons to push. When they’re forced together during a gauntlet of wedding preparations—including a plot to save Astrid from her horrible fiancé—Claire isn’t sure she has the strength to resist Delilah’s charms. Even worse, she’s starting to think she doesn’t want to...

Cien años de soledad
Gabriel García Márquez • 1967
En ocasión del 50 aniversario de la publicación de Cien años de soledad, llega una edición con ilustraciones inéditas de la artista chilena Luisa Rivera y con una tipografía creada por el hijo del autor, Gonzalo García Barcha.<br/><br/>Una edición conmemorativa de una novela clave en la historia de la literatura, una obra que todos deberíamos tener en nuestras estanterías.<br/><br/>“Muchos años después, frente al pelotón de fusilamiento, el coronel Aureliano Buendía había de recordar aquella tarde remota en que su padre lo llevó a conocer el hielo”.<br/><br/>Con estas palabras empieza una novela ya legendaria en los anales de la literatura universal, una de las aventuras literarias más fascinantes del siglo xx. Millones de ejemplares de Cien años de soledad leídos en todas las lenguas y el Premio Nobel de Literatura coronando una obra que se había abierto paso a “boca a boca” —como gusta decir el escritor— son la más palpable demostración de que la aventura fabulosa de la familia Buendía-Iguarán, con sus milagros, fantasías, obsesiones, tragedias, incestos, adulterios, rebeldías, descubrimientos y condenas, representaba al mismo tiempo el mito y la historia, la tragedia y el amor del mundo entero.<br/><br/>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION<br/><br/>Commemorating the 50th anniversary since One Hundred Years of Solitude’s first publication, this edition includes unpublished illustrations by the Chilean artist Luisa Rivera and a typeface created by the author's son, Gonzalo García Barcha.<br/><br/>A commemorative edition of a fundamental novel in the history of literature, a work that we should all have on our bookshelves.<br/><br/>This novel, now legendary in world literature records, is one of the most fascinating literary adventures of the twentieth century. Millions of copies of One Hundred Years of Solitude have been read in all languages and the Nobel Prize in Literature crowning a work that had made its way through word of mouth, are the most palpable demonstration that the fabulous adventure of the Buendía-Iguarán family, with its miracles, fantasies, obsessions, tragedies, incests, adulteries, rebellions, discoveries, and convictions, represented at the same time the myth and the history, as well as the tragedy and the love of the entire world.

La bailarina de Auschwitz
Edith Eger • 2023
Una emocionante historia de superación sobre la capacidad del ser humano para sanar y vencer la adversidad.<br/><br/>Eger tenía dieciséis años cuando los nazis invadieron su pueblo de Hungría y se la llevaron con el resto de su familia a Auschwitz. Al pisar el campo, sus padres fueron enviados a la cámara de gas y ella permaneció junto a su hermana, pendiente de una muerte segura. Pero bailar El Danubio azul para Mengele salvó su vida, y a partir de entonces empezó una nueva lucha por la supervivencia. Primero en los campos de exterminio, luego en la Checoslovaquia tomada por los comunistas y, finalmente, en Estados Unidos, donde acabaría convirtiéndose en discípula de Viktor Frankl. Fue en ese momento, tras décadas ocultando su pasado, cuando se dio cuenta de la necesidad de curar sus heridas, de hablar del horror que había vivido y de perdonar como camino a la sanación.<br/>Su mensaje es claro: tenemos la capacidad de escapar de las prisiones que construimos en nuestras mentes y podemos elegir ser libres, sean cuales sean las circunstancias de nuestra vida.<br/>«Este libro es un regalo para la humanidad. Una de esas historias únicas y eternas que nunca quieres terminar de leer y que te cambian la vida para siempre.» Desmond Tutu, premio Nobel de la Paz
