El mar de los monstruos / The Sea Of Monsters (Percy Jackson y los dioses del olimpo / Percy Jackson and the Olympians) (Spanish Edition)
Rick Riordan · 2014
Continúa la serie de aventuras «Percy Jackson y los dioses del Olimpo», iniciada con El ladrón del rayo, con esta apasionante entrega.<br/><br/>En pleno siglo XXI, los antiguos dioses griegos han creado un mundo secreto a nuestro alrededor, donde el monte Olimpo se encuentra encima del Empire State y el reino de Hades en el subsuelo de Los Ángeles.<br/><br/>Desde que sabe que es hijo de un dios y una mortal, Percy Jackson espera que el destino le depare continuas aventuras. Y su expectativa se cumplirá con creces. Aunque el nuevo curso en la Escuela Meriwether transcurre con inusual normalidad, un simple partido de balón prisionero acaba en batalla campal contra una banda de feroces gigantes.<br/><br/>A partir de ahí, las cosas se precipitan: el perímetro mágico que protege el Campamento Mestizo es destruido por un misterioso enemigo y la única seguridad con que contaban los semidioses desaparece. Así, para impedir este daño irreparable, Percy y sus amigos inician la travesía del temible Mar de los Monstruos en busca de lo único que puede salvar el campamento: el Vellocino de oro.<br/><br/>** Más vendidos del The New York Times y Publishers Weekly.<br/>** Llevada a la gran pantalla a cargo de Chris Columbus, director de las dos primeras entregas de «Harry Potter».<br/><br/>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION<br/><br/>After a summer spent trying to prevent a catastrophic war among the Greek gods, Percy Jackson finds his seventh-grade school year unnervingly quiet. His biggest problem is dealing with his new friend, Tyson-a six-foot-three, mentally challenged homeless kid who follows Percy everywhere, making it hard for Percy to have any "normal" friends.<br/><br/>But things don't stay quiet for long. Percy soon discovers there is trouble at Camp Half-Blood: the magical borders which protect Half-Blood Hill have been poisoned by a mysterious enemy, and the only safe haven for demigods is on the verge of being overrun by mythological monsters. To save the camp, Percy needs the help of his best friend, Grover, who has been taken prisoner by the Cyclops Polyphemus on an island somewhere in the Sea of Monsters, the dangerous waters Greek heroes have sailed for millennia-only today, the Sea of Monsters goes by a new name: the Bermuda Triangle.<br/><br/>Now Percy and his friends-Grover, Annabeth, and Tyson-must retrieve the Golden Fleece from the Island of the Cyclopes by the end of the summer or Camp Half-Blood will be destroyed. But first, Percy will learn a stunning new secret about his family-one that makes him question whether being claimed as Poseidon's son is an honor or simply a cruel joke.

Dos seres solitarios cuyos caminos se cruzan en el lugar más frío de la Tierra.<br/>Mi mundo cambió en el instante en el que pisé el instituto Katmere. Aquí todo resulta extraño: la escuela, los alumnos, las asignaturas; y yo no soy más que una simple mortal entre ellos, dioses... o monstruos. Todavía no sé a qué bando pertenezco, si es que pertenezco a alguno, sólo sé que lo que parece unirlos a todos es su odio hacia mí.<br/>Pero entre ellos está Jaxon Vega, un vampiro que esconde oscuros secretos y que no ha sentido nada durante un siglo. Algo en él me atrae, apenas lo conozco, pero sé que hay algo roto en su interior que de alguna manera encaja con lo que hay roto en mí. Acercarme a él puede significar el fin del mundo, pero empiezo a sospechar que alguien me ha traído a este lugar a propósito, y tengo que descubrir por qué.<br/>«Vampiros, hombres lobo, dragones… ¡Lo tiene todo!

No Longer Human
Osamu Dazai · 1973
<p> Mine has been a life of much shame. I can't even guess myself what it must be to live the life of a human being. </p><p>Portraying himself as a failure, the protagonist of Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human narrates a seemingly normal life even while he feels himself incapable of understanding human beings. His attempts to reconcile himself to the world around him begin in early childhood, continue through high school, where he becomes a "clown" to mask his alienation, and eventually lead to a failed suicide attempt as an adult. Without sentimentality, he records the casual cruelties of life and its fleeting moments of human connection and tenderness.</p><p>Still one of the ten bestselling books in Japan, No Longer Human is an important and unforgettable modern classic: "The struggle of the individual to fit into a normalizing society remains just as relevant today as it was at the time of writing." (The Japan Times)</p>

El Retrato de Dorian Gray
Oscar Wilde · 2020
“El Retrato de Dorian Gray” es la novela más famosa del escritor irlandés Oscar Wilde (1854-1900). Un joven llamado Dorian Gray es seducido por el hedonismo de su nuevo círculo social y empieza a vivir la vida de un libertino en constante búsqueda del placer después de adquirir un impresionante y misterioso retrato de sí mismo, pintado por un amigo. La novela explora temas filosóficos tan complejos como la duplicidad del alma humana y la reverencia por la belleza y el placer. La novela causó gran revuelo en los críticos y lectores británicos de la época, por su supuesta inmoralidad e indecencia y despertó en Wilde una defensa furiosa del proceso creativo y la importancia de la libertad en la expresión artística. La presente edición contiene ilustraciones de Alejandro Díaz y está presentada en formato de 13,5 x 19 cms, con encuadernación tapa dura y marca páginas de hilo.

Stephenie Meyer · 2018
«Hay tres cosas de las que estoy completamente segura. Primera, Edward es un vampiro. Segunda, una parte de él se muere por beber mi sangre. Y tercera, estoy total y perdidamente enamorada de él.»<br/><br/>Cuando Isabella Swan se muda a Forks, una pequeña localidad del estado de Washington donde no deja de llover, piensa que es lo más aburrido que le podía haber ocurrido. Pero su vida da un giro excitante y aterrador una vez que se encuentra con el misterioso y seductor Edward Cullen. Hasta ese momento, Edward se las había arreglado para mantener en secreto su identidad vampírica, pero ahora ya nadie está a salvo, ni siquiera la persona a quien él más quiere: Isabella.<br/><br/>** Número 1 en la lista de bestsellers de The New York Times y del USA Today.<br/>** Mejor Novela Young Adult de Todos los Tiempos por la revista Time.<br/>** NPR a la Mejor Novela Adolescente.<br/>** Recomendada por el editor de The New York Times.<br/><br/>La «Saga Crepúsculo», en la que se incluyen los títulos Crepúsculo, Luna nueva, Eclipse, Amanecer, La segunda vida de Bree Tanner y la Guía ilustrada oficial, ha vendido ya cerca de 155 millones de copias en todo el mundo y más de 3 millones de ejemplares solo en España.<br/><br/>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION<br/><br/>About three things I was absolutely positive:<br/>First, Edward was a vampire.<br/>Second, there was a part of him–and I didn’t know how dominant that part might be–that thirsted for my blood.<br/>And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.<br/><br/>“I’D NEVER GIVEN MUCH THOUGHT TO HOW I WOULD DIE– I’d had reason enough in the last few months –but even if I had, I would not have imagined it like this. . . .

Up until now, he has managed to keep his true identity hidden, but Bella is determined to uncover his dark secret.<br/>What Bella doesn’t realize is the closer she gets to him, the more she is putting herself and those around her at risk. And, it might be too late to turn back. . . .<br/>Deeply seductive and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight will have readers riveted right until the very last page is turned.

Pablo Vierci · 2023
La película de Netflix La sociedad de la nieve, está nominada a los premios Oscar 2024 por España.<br/>Se cumplen cincuenta años de una de las historias más increíbles jamás contadas. Si fuera ficción resultaría inverosímil, pero es y fue verdad.<br/>En La sociedad de la nieve, publicada originalmente en 2008, todos los sobrevivientes hablaron por vez primera desde que el 13 de octubre de 1972 un avión de la Fuerza Aérea Uruguaya se estrellara en la cordillera de los Andes. Iban a bordo cuarenta y cinco personas, dieciséis de las cuales fallecieron en el acto o pocas horas después. Con alrededor de veinte años, a cuatro mil metros de altura y treinta grados bajo cero, sin abrigo ni comida, la relación entre víctimas y sobrevivientes se invirtió y solo regresaron con vida dieciséis En esta nueva edición especial por el aniversario del accidente, los sobrevivientes narran no solo lo que sucedió sino, fundamentalmente, lo que «nos pasó»<br/><br/>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION<br/>Fifty years after the Andean tragedy, sixteen survivors tell the story of how they overcame the insurmountable trauma.<br/>On October 13, 1972 an Uruguayan Air Force plane crashed in the Andes. Forty-five people were on board. Many died on impact, or in the hours following the crash. At over 4,000 feet above sea level, under temperatures of –22°F, and without shelter or food, the line separating victims and survivors was increasingly blurry. Only sixteen of them would make it out alive.<br/>Pablo Vierci—a close acquaintance of many of those onboard—tells us about the survivors and the victims: where they came from, what they were doing preceding the crash, their experience in the mountains, including the decision to commit cannibalism, the expedition that found them, the days following their rescue, and the life after the tragedy. All of this, from the accounts of those who managed to create a society different from any other, driven by the will to survive.

1984 George Orwell - Nineteen Eighty-Four - Paperback
George Orwell · 1949
Newspeak, Doublethink, Big Brother, the Thought Police - the language of 1984 has passed into the English language as a symbol of the horrors of totalitarianism. George Orwell's story of Winston Smith's fight against the all-pervading Party has become a classic, not the least because of its intellectual coherence. First published in 1949, it retains as much relevance today as it had then.

La historiadora
Elizabeth Kostova · 2007

Jane Eyre (Dover Thrift Editions: Classic Novels)
Charlotte Brontë · 2003
Charlotte Brontë characterized the eponymous heroine of her 1847 novel as being "as poor and plain as myself." Presenting a heroine with neither great beauty nor entrancing charm was an unprecendented maneuver, but Brontë's instincts proved correct, for readers of her era and ever after have taken Jane Eyre into their hearts. The author drew upon her own experience to depict Jane's struggles at Lowood, an oppressive boarding school, and her troubled career as a governess. Unlike Jane, Brontë had the advantage of a warm family circle that shared and encouraged her literary pursuits. She found immediate success with this saga of an orphan girl forced to make her way alone in the world, from Lowood School to Thornfield, the estate of the majestically moody Mr. Rochester, and beyond.

Breakfast at Tiffany''s
Truman Capote · 1993
<p><b><b><b>Holly Golightly knows that nothing bad can ever happen to you at Tiffany's.</b> In this seductive, wistful masterpiece, Capote created a woman whose name has entered the American idiom and whose style is a part of the literary landscape—her poignancy, wit, and naïveté continue to charm.</b><br></b><br>This volume also includes three of Capote's best-known stories, “House of Flowers,” “A Diamond Guitar,” and “A Christmas Memory,” which the <i>Saturday Review</i> called “one of the most moving stories in our language.” It is a tale of two innocents—a small boy and the old woman who is his best friend—whose sweetness contains a hard, sharp kernel of truth.</p>

Sybil
Flora Rheta Schreiber · 2009
More amazing than any work of fiction, yet true in every word, it swept to the top of the bestseller lists and riveted the consciousness of the world. As an Emmy Award-winning film starring Sally Field, it captured the home screens of an entire nation and has endured as the most electrifying TV movie ever made. It's the story of a survivor of terrifying childhood abuse, victim of sudden and mystifying blackouts, and the first case of multiple personality ever to be psychoanalyzed.<br/><br/>You're about to meet Sybil-and the sixteen selves to whom she played host, both women and men, each with a different personality, speech pattern, and even personal appearance. You'll experience the strangeness and fascination of one woman's rare affliction-and travel with her on her long, ultimately triumphant journey back to wholeness.

The Stranger by Albert Camus
Albert Camus · 2023
With the intrigue of a psychological thriller, The Stranger—Camus's masterpiece—gives us the story of an ordinary man unwittingly drawn into a senseless murder on an Algerian beach. With an Introduction by Peter Dunwoodie; translated by Matthew Ward.<br/><br/>Behind the subterfuge, Camus explores what he termed "the nakedness of man faced with the absurd" and describes the condition of reckless alienation and spiritual exhaustion that characterized so much of twentieth-century life.<br/><br/>“The Stranger is a strikingly modern text and Matthew Ward’s translation will enable readers to appreciate why Camus’s stoical anti-hero and devious narrator remains one of the key expressions of a postwar Western malaise, and one of the cleverest exponents of a literature of ambiguity.” –from the Introduction by Peter Dunwoodie<br/><br/>First published in 1946; now in translation by Matthew Ward.
