Pride and Prejudice
Jane Austen • 1813
Austen's most popular novel, the unforgettable story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy<br/><br/>Few have failed to be charmed by the witty and independent spirit of Elizabeth Bennet in Austen’s beloved classic Pride and Prejudice. When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows us the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life. This Penguin Classics edition, based on Austen's first edition, contains the original Penguin Classics introduction by Tony Tanner and an updated introduction and notes by Viven Jones.<br/><br/>For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Whisky Business (The Macabre Brothers #1)
Elliot Fletcher • 2023
Opposites attract when a fish-out-of-water actress and a grumpy Scottish whisky distiller are forced to work together to save the business they both love. As a child, April Sinclair dreamt of escaping her quiet island life to become a world-famous actress. Now fully grown and with her once-flourishing career at an all-time low, what better way to figure out where it all went wrong than to go back to the beginning? April has her sights set on a new challenge, and that is saving her family’s distillery on the idyllic Scottish Isle of Skye. What she doesn’t expect to find is Malcolm Macabe, short-tempered and exceedingly attractive, living in the home she has just inherited. He may be a million miles away from the shy teenager she knew growing up, but one thing is for certain: he doesn’t want her around anymore. Master distiller Mal has three loves in his life: whisky, his dog, and silence. He has no time for the pampered princess poking her nose around his distillery, even if said princess is the one who got away. More comfortable in the shadows than the spotlight, Mal is content to wait her out. She’ll grow bored and run back to her glamorous world of nail salons and takeaway coffee eventually. When sparks begin to fly, he tells himself it doesn’t matter… because April Sinclair could never want a man like him, right?
Enero
Sara Gallardo • 1958
Product Description Los días se suceden con aparente calma en una estancia del campo argentino. En torno a la mesa, la familia de Nefer, protagonista adolescente de Enero, conversa sobre la hacienda y la feria bovina, pero Nefer no escucha; presa de la angustia y ajena a lo que la rodea, guarda un secreto que, como un hongo negro y creciente, la consume: tras ser violada por un trabajador local, ha quedado embarazada. Pronto llegará la cosecha, y para entonces ya nada tendrá remedio. ¿Qué puede hacer una chica sola, en el campo, para no tener ese hijo que nacerá en invierno? ¿Y si galopa? ¿Y si reza? ¿Sucederá así un milagro? Enero, la primera novela de Sara Gallardo, fue publicada en 1958, cuando su autora tenía veintisiete años. Leída en su momento como un relato rural, tuvieron que pasar muchos años antes de que se la reivindicara y fuera recuperada por autoras y autores muy distintos ―desde Selva Almada, Samanta Schweblin o Claudia Piñeiro hasta Ricardo Piglia, Pedro Mairal o Patricio Pron― que encontraron en su figura un referente literario. En Enero, Gallardo subvierte y rebasa la tradición literaria rural argentina y su visión utópica del campo. Aquí, los patrones son los dueños de los cuerpos de los jornaleros, a los que amparan y a la vez subyugan, y la estancia se revela como una estructura opresora. Su obra, disonante dentro de la centralidad del canon literario y olvidada largo tiempo, tiene ahora la oportunidad de llegar por primera vez a los lectores españoles. About the Author Sara Gallardo (Buenos Aires, 1931-ibidem, 1988) publicó las novelas Enero (1958) Pantalones azules (1963), Los galgos, los galgos (1968, ganadora del Premio Municipal), Eisejuaz (1971) y La rosa en el viento (1979). Escribió también literatura para niños y un libro de relatos, El país del humo (1977). Además de como narradora, Gallardo destacó como periodista, y durante años colaboró, entre otras, con la revista Confirmado, así como con el diario La Nación. Los artículos publicados en estos medios aparecen compilados en Macaneos. Las columnas de Confirmado (2016) y Los oficios (2018).
Lisístrata
Aristófanes • -423
<p>La trama di "Lisistrata" si svolge su due piani: il primo è quello dello sciopero del sesso che le donne dell'intera Grecia decidono perché i mariti mettano fine alla guerra; il secondo è quello della presa dell'Acropoli di Atene da parte delle donne stesse e del tesoro in essa custodito con il quale la guerra stessa si alimenta all'infinito. L'azione prende avvio all'alba: Lisistrata convoca le ateniesi, ma anche le spartane, le corinzie e le beote, per comunicare il suo piano, quello di non concedersi più ai mariti fino alla cessazione delle ostilità. Le donne piangono e tremano al pensiero, ma infine cedono e giurano di astenersi dal sesso con i mariti. Nel frattempo le donne più anziane hanno preso l'Acropoli e si sono chiuse dentro. Mentre le donne provenienti da tutta la Grecia tornano alle loro case per mettere in atto il piano, Lisistrata e le ateniesi più giovani si uniscono alle anziane sull'Acropoli. Qui, dopo un primo tentativo fallimentare di reduci e veterani ateniesi di riprendere il cuore della vita politica, arriva un probulo, una sorta di commissario del popolo, rappresentante del potere oligarchico, circondato da scherani e guardie del corpo, che ingaggia un corpo a corpo prima simbolico e poi fisico con Lisistrata stessa e le sue compagne, che lo vedrà miseramente soccombere. Ma l'astinenza fa breccia negli uomini. C'è un patto fra tutte le donne greche sul fatto di mettere fine alla guerra e di chiamare da Sparta e da Atene i massimi rappresentanti con pieni poteri. Una volta convenuti ad Atene, questi ascolteranno le sagge parole della protagonista, che rivendicherà il primato della saggezza femminile nel condurre le cose del mondo e farà tornare la pace, che coinciderà con la riconciliazione tra uomini e donne con una grande festa finale.<br></p>

Con un estilo ágil y envolvente, Kate Morton nos conmueve con una magnífica historia difícil de olvidar.»<br/>María Dueñas<br/>«Kate Morton, [...] en la tradición de literatura clásica anglosajona, es el último fenómeno literario. [...] Atrapa a lectores con lazo por su manera de contar gustosa, minuciosa, victoriana.»<br/>El País Semanal<br/>«El jardín olvidado reúne todos los elementos de una auténtica novela romántica inglesa que tanto gusta a un tipo de lectores. [Presenta] claras evocaciones a Charles Dickens, Jane Austen o las hermanas Brönte.»<br/>La Vanguardia<br/>«Kate Morton nos arrastra a través de tres continentes en busca del verdadero nombre de una niña pelirroja abandonada en un muelle abrazada a su maleta. Es la historia de una saga de mujeres que no creían en los cuentos de hadas pero que los escribían.»<br/>Eugenia Rico<br/>«Una niña protagonista, el trasfondo histórico de la Primera Guerra Mundial, un thriller absorbente, una autora deslumbrante. Sigan a Kate Morton.»<br/>Alex Rovira<br/>«Morton posee una habilidad magistral para crear misteriosas historias en ambientes propios de leyendas. Cuando te adentres en el jardín que sugiere esta novela no querrás olvidarlo.»<br/>Mari Pau Domínguez<br/>«Me conmovió especialmente El jardín olvidado, en el que una autora desconocida para mí, Kate Morton, desgrana una magnífica historia escrita a la manera de los clásicos del XIX pero con un encanto actual.»<br/>Concha Quirós, Librería Cervantes (Oviedo)<br/>«No os dejéis engañar por la niña con la flor en la cubierta. El jardín olvidado es una absorbente novela de misterio que te atrapa en su laberinto mientras intentas desvelar los secretos de sus personajes.»<br/>Silvano Goz

Piranesi
Susanna Clarke • 2020
New York Times Bestseller<br/>Winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction<br/>World Fantasy Awards Finalist<br/><br/>From the New York Times bestselling author of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, an intoxicating, hypnotic new novel set in a dreamlike alternative reality.<br/><br/>Piranesi’s house is no ordinary building: its rooms are infinite, its corridors endless, its walls are lined with thousands upon thousands of statues, each one different from all the others. Within the labyrinth of halls an ocean is imprisoned; waves thunder up staircases, rooms are flooded in an instant. But Piranesi is not afraid; he understands the tides as he understands the pattern of the labyrinth itself. He lives to explore the house.<br/><br/>There is one other person in the house―a man called The Other, who visits Piranesi twice a week and asks for help with research into A Great and Secret Knowledge. But as Piranesi explores, evidence emerges of another person, and a terrible truth begins to unravel, revealing a world beyond the one Piranesi has always known.<br/><br/>For readers of Neil Gaiman’s The Ocean at the End of the Lane and fans of Madeline Miller’s Circe, Piranesi introduces an astonishing new world, an infinite labyrinth, full of startling images and surreal beauty, haunted by the tides and the clouds.

The time will come when Gwendy has nightmares about that hat…<br/><br/>The little town of Castle Rock, Maine has witnessed some strange events and unusual visitors over the years, but there is one story that has never been told—until now.
