Expiación
Ian McEwan • 2002
En la gran casa de campo de la familia Tallis todo parece fluir con apacible elegancia en el día más caluroso del verano de 1935. Pero el oído atento percibirá sutiles notas disonantes, una creciente tensión que estallará después de que Cecilia, la hija mayor de los Tallis, salga empapada de una fuente, vestida solamente con su ropa interior, mientras Robbie, el brillante hijo de la criada y protegido de la familia Tallis, la contempla... Un libro prodigioso, que va abriéndose como un juego de cajas chinas y que contiene muchas novelas: una romántica historia de amor imposible, una durísima narración de guerra y la novela que dentro de la novela escribe uno de los personajes. McEwan ha escrito su obra maestra.
Animal Farm
George Orwell · 1996
<b>George Orwell's timeless and timely allegorical novel—a scathing satire on a downtrodden society’s blind march towards totalitarianism.<br><br>SOON TO BE A NETFLIX FILM!<br><br></b><i>“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”</i><br><br>A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned—a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible. <br><br> When <i>Animal Farm</i> was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell’s masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.
De sangre y cenizas (Spanish Edition)
JENNIFER ARMENTROUT • 2021
Apasionante y con una acción trepidante, De sangre y cenizas es una fantasía adictiva e inesperada, perfecta para los lectores de Sarah J. Maas.<br/>UNA DONCELLA.<br/>Elegida desde su nacimiento para dar comienzo a una nueva era, la vida de Poppy nunca le ha pertenecido. La vida de la Doncella es solitaria. Jamás la tocarán. Jamás la mirarán. Jamás le hablarán. Jamás sentirá placer. Mientras espera el día de su Ascensión, preferiría estar con los guardias luchando contra el mal que se llevó a su familia que preparándose para que los dioses la encuentren lo bastante digna. Pero la elección nunca ha sido suya.<br/>UN DEBER.<br/>El futuro del reino entero recae sobre los hombros de Poppy, algo que ni siquiera está demasiado segura de querer para ella. Porque la Doncella tiene corazón. Y alma. Y deseo. Y cuando Hawke, un guardia de ojos dorados que ha jurado garantizar su Ascensión, entra en su vida, el destino y el deber se entremezclan con el deseo y la necesidad. Él incita su ira, hace que se cuestione todo aquello en lo que cree y la tienta con lo prohibido.<br/>UN REINO.<br/>Abandonado por los dioses y temido por los mortales, un reino caído está resurgiendo, decidido a recuperar lo que cree que es suyo mediante la violencia y la venganza. Y a medida que la sombra de los malditos se acerca, la línea entre lo prohibido y lo correcto se difumina. Poppy no solo está a punto de perder el corazón y ser considerada indigna por los dioses, sino que también está a punto de perder la vida cuando los ensangrentados hilos que mantienen unido su mundo empiezan a deshilacharse.
Yellowface: A Novel
R. F. Kuang · 2023
<p>INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK<br></p><p>"Hard to put down, harder to forget." — Stephen King, #1 New York Times bestselling author<br></p><p>White lies. Dark humor. Deadly consequences… Bestselling sensation Juniper Song is not who she says she is, she didn't write the book she claims she wrote, and she is most certainly not Asian American—in this chilling and hilariously cutting novel from R.F. Kuang, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Babel. <br></p><p>Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars. But Athena's a literary darling. June Hayward is literally nobody. Who wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks.<br></p><p>So when June witnesses Athena's death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena's just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I.<br></p><p>So what if June edits Athena's novel and sends it to her agent as her own work? So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand her as Juniper Song—complete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo? Doesn't this piece of history deserve to be told, whoever the teller? That's what June claims, and the New York Times bestseller list seems to agree.<br></p><p>But June can't get away from Athena's shadow, and emerging evidence threatens to bring June's (stolen) success down around her. As June races to protect her secret, she discovers exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks she deserves.<br></p><p>With its totally immersive first-person voice, Yellowface grapples with questions of diversity, racism, and cultural appropriation, as well as the terrifying alienation of social media. R.F. Kuang's novel is timely, razor-sharp, and eminently readable.<br></p>

Anna Karenina (Wordsworth Classics)
Leo Tolstoy · 1997
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. Anna Karenina is one of the most loved and memorable heroines of literature. Her overwhelming charm dominates a novel of unparalleled richness and density. Tolstoy considered this book to be his first real attempt at a novel form, and it addresses the very nature of society at all levels,- of destiny, death, human relationships and the irreconcilable contradictions of existence. It ends tragically, and there is much that evokes despair, yet set beside this is an abounding joy in life's many ephemeral pleasures, and a profusion of comic relief.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
Taylor Jenkins Reid · 2017
<b><i>NEW YORK TIMES</i></b><b> BESTSELLER</b><br> <br><b>“If you</b>’<b>re looking for a book to take on holiday this summer, <i>The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo</i> has got all the glitz and glamour to make it a perfect beach read.” —<i>Bustle</i></b><br> <br><b>From the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Daisy Jones & the Six</i>—an entrancing and “wildly addictive journey of a reclusive Hollywood starlet” (<i>PopSugar</i>) as she reflects on her relentless rise to the top and the risks she took, the loves she lost, and the long-held secrets the public could never imagine.</b><br><br>Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, no one is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her? Why now?<br> <br>Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere. Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career.<br> <br>Summoned to Evelyn’s luxurious apartment, Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the ‘80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way, Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love. Monique begins to feel a very real connection to the legendary star, but as Evelyn’s story near its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique’s own in tragic and irreversible ways.<br> <br>“Heartbreaking, yet beautiful” (Jamie Blynn, <i>Us Weekly</i>), <i>The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo </i>is “Tinseltown drama at its finest” (<i>Redbook</i>): a mesmerizing journey through the splendor of old Hollywood into the harsh realities of the present day as two women struggle with what it means—and what it costs—to face the truth.

Won-pyung Sohn · 2021
A BTS fan favorite! A WALL STREET JOURNAL STORIES THAT CAN TAKE YOU ANYWHERE PICK * ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY'S STAY HOME AND READ PICK * SALON'S BEST AND BOLDEST * BUSTLE'S MOST ANTICIPATED<br/>The Emissary meets The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime in this poignant and triumphant story about how love, friendship, and persistence can change a life forever.<br/>This story is, in short, about a monster meeting another monster.<br/>One of the monsters is me.<br/>Yunjae was born with a brain condition called Alexithymia that makes it hard for him to feel emotions like fear or anger. He does not have friends—the two almond-shaped neurons located deep in his brain have seen to that—but his devoted mother and grandmother provide him with a safe and content life. Their little home above his mother’s used bookstore is decorated with colorful Post-it notes that remind him when to smile, when to say "thank you," and when to laugh.<br/>Then on Christmas Eve—Yunjae’s sixteenth birthday—everything changes. A shocking act of random violence shatters his world, leaving him alone and on his own. Struggling to cope with his loss, Yunjae retreats into silent isolation, until troubled teenager Gon arrives at his school, and they develop a surprising bond.<br/>As Yunjae begins to open his life to new people—including a girl at school—something slowly changes inside him. And when Gon suddenly finds his life at risk, Yunjae will have the chance to step outside of every comfort zone he has created to perhaps become the hero he never thought he would be.<br/>Readers of Wonder by R.J. Palaccio and Ginny Moon by Benjamin Ludwig will appreciate this "resonant" story that "gives Yunjae the courage to claim an entirely different story."

Pride and Prejudice
Jane Austen
Austen’s most celebrated novel tells the story of Elizabeth Bennet, a bright, lively young woman with four sisters, and a mother determined to marry them to wealthy men. At a party near the Bennets’ home in the English countryside, Elizabeth meets the wealthy, proud Fitzwilliam Darcy. Elizabeth initially finds Darcy haughty and intolerable, but circumstances continue to unite the pair. Mr. Darcy finds himself captivated by Elizabeth’s wit and candor, while her reservations about his character slowly vanish. The story is as much a social critique as it is a love story, and the prose crackles with Austen’s wry wit.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Stephen Chbosky · 1999
Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. This haunting novel about the dilemma of passivity vs. passion marks the stunning debut of a provocative new voice in contemporary fiction: The Perks of Being a Wallflower.<br/><br/>This is the story of what it's like to grow up in high school. More intimate than a diary, Charlie's letters are singular and unique, hilarious and devastating. We may not know where he lives. We may not know to whom he is writing. All we know is the world he shares. Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it puts him on a strange course through uncharted territory. The world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends. The world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite.<br/>Through Charlie, Stephen Chbosky has created a deeply affecting coming-of-age story, a powerful novel that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller coaster days known as growing up.

Romeo and Juliet' was Shakespeare's first great tragedy, a richly lyrical love story that has long been one of the author's most popular plays for performer and audience alike. Romeo and Juliet is a simple but dramatic cautionary tale about the blindness that both love and hate can engender. As performed by Claire Bloom and Albert Finney, this lively production captures the youthful exuberance and poetic passion that characterize all of Shakespeare's early work and makes Romeo and Juliet in particular the greatest romantic creation in English Literature.

FROM HAN KANG, WINNER OF THE 2024 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE “[Han Kang’s] intense poetic prose . . . exposes the fragility of human life.”—The Nobel Committee for Literature, in the citation for the Nobel Prize A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES’S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21ST CENTURY “Ferocious.”—The New York Times Book Review (Ten Best Books of the Year) “Both terrifying and terrific.”—Lauren Groff “Provocative [and] shocking.”—The Washington Post Before the nightmares began, Yeong-hye and her husband lived an ordinary, controlled life. But the dreams—invasive images of blood and brutality—torture her, driving Yeong-hye to purge her mind and renounce eating meat altogether. It’s a small act of independence, but it interrupts her marriage and sets into motion an increasingly grotesque chain of events at home. As her husband, her brother-in-law and sister each fight to reassert their control, Yeong-hye obsessively defends the choice that’s become sacred to her. Soon their attempts turn desperate, subjecting first her mind, and then her body, to ever more intrusive and perverse violations, sending Yeong-hye spiraling into a dangerous, bizarre estrangement, not only from those closest to her, but also from herself. Celebrated by critics around the world, The Vegetarian is a darkly allegorical, Kafka-esque tale of power, obsession, and one woman’s struggle to break free from the violence both without and within her.

¿Estabas en el tren de las 8.04? ¿Viste algo sospechoso?<br/>Rachel, sí<br/><br/>Rachel toma siempre el tren de las 8.04 h. Cada mañana lo mismo: el mismo paisaje, las mismas casas… y la misma parada en la señal roja. Son solo unos segundos, pero le permiten observar a una pareja desayunando tranquilamente en su terraza. Siente que los conoce y se inventa unos nombres para ellos: Jess y Jason. Su vida es perfecta, no como la suya. Pero un día ve algo. Sucede muy deprisa, pero es suficiente. ¿Y si Jess y Jason no son tan felices como ella cree? ¿Y si nada es lo que parece?<br/>Tú no la conoces. Ella a ti, sí.<br/><br/>«Un impresionante debut en el mundo del thriller.» The Guardian<br/>«Agárrate fuerte...

Metamorphosis and Other Stories
Franz Kafka · 2008
This collection of new translations brings together the small proportion of Kafka's works that he himself thought worthy of publication. It includes <i>Metamorphosis</i>, his most famous work, an exploration of horrific transformation and alienation; <i>Meditation</i>, a collection of his earlier studies; <i>The Judgement</i>, written in a single night of frenzied creativity; <i>The Stoker</i>, the first chapter of a novel set in America and a fascinating occasional piece, and <i>The Aeroplanes at Brescia</i>, Kafka's eyewitness account of an air display in 1909. Together, these stories reveal the breadth of Kafka's literary vision and the extraordinary imaginative depth of his thought.
