RETRATO EN SEPIA

ISABEL ALLENDE • 2011

Fourth Wing

Rebecca Yarros • 2023

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them. With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just for being her mother’s daughter—like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant. She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next sunrise. Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the kingdom's protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a terrible secret. Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an agenda—because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or die.

Los siete maridos de Evelyn Hugo (Spanish Edition)

Poeta chileno (Spanish Edition)

Alejandro Zambra • 2020

Alejandro Zambra vuelve en grande a la novela con este magnífico libro sobre familias hechizas, poetas y poetastros. Una hermosa, desenfadada y seriamente divertida declaración de amor a la poesía.<br/>Durante buena parte de esta novela Gonzalo es un poetastro que quiere ser poeta y un padrastro que se comporta como si fuera el padre biológico de Vicente, un niño adicto a la comida para gatos que años más tarde se niega a estudiar en la universidad porque su sueño principal es convertirse –también– en poeta, a pesar de los consejos de Carla, su orgullosamente solitaria madre, y de León, un padre mediocre dedicado a coleccionar autitos de juguete.<br/>El poderoso mito de la poesía chilena –un personaje secundario dice, aludiendo a los veredictos de la Academia Sueca, que los chilenos son bicampeones mundiales de poesía– es revisitado y cuestionado por Pru, una periodista gringa que se convierte en testigo accidental de ese esquivo e intenso mundo de héroes e impostores literarios.<br/>«La verdadera seriedad es cómica», decía Nicanor Parra, y esta novela sobre poetas que desprecian las novelas lo demuestra brillantemente.<br/>El laberinto masculino actual, los trágicos vaivenes del amor, las familias –o familiastras– fugaces, la omnipresente desconfianza en instituciones y autoridades, el deseo valiente y obcecado de pertenecer a una comunidad en parte imaginaria, el sentido de escribir y de leer en un mundo hostil que parece desmoronarse a toda velocidad... Son muchos los temas que este libro hermoso, contundente y desenfadado pone encima de la mesa. Autor de obras que se han vuelto emblemáticas, como Bonsái, Formas de volver a casa, Mis documentos o Facsímil, Alejandro Zambra regresa en grande a la novela con este libro que lo confirma como una de las voces fundamentales de la literatura latinoamericana en lo que va de siglo.

CRÍMENES IMAGINARIOS

Patricia Highsmith • 1987

1984

George Orwell • 1961

<b>Written more than 70 years ago, <i>1984</i> was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever...<br><br><b>• Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s <i>The Great American Read •</i></b><br></b><br>“<i>The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.</i>”<br><br>Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can’t escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching...<br><br>A startling and haunting novel, <i>1984</i> creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the novel’s hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions—a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.
