Ilíada
Homero • 2019
La Ilíada, compuesta en el siglo VIII a.C., narra una leyenda micénica situada en el siglo XIII a.C., una edad heroica dominada por los aspectos militares, el individualismo desenfrenado y la persecución de la riqueza y la gloria. La Ilíada cuenta un episodio de la epopeya de la rica y estratégica ciudad de Troya, o Ilión. Es el poema de la cólera de Aquiles, hijo de mortal y diosa y el más destacado de los combatientes griegos, en su afán de heroicidad y sus ansias de venganza. El poema de una gran guerra que afecta a multitud de seres humanos, víctimas del enfrentamiento personal de un reducido grupo de héroes en su particular lucha por el poder. El canto del dolor y el sufrimiento, de la caída de unos valores y de un modo de vida, refinado y aristocrático, que acaba en la muerte o en la esclavitud. Pero es también la exaltación de la belleza de la fascinación por la acción y la consecución de la gloria. Nuestra edición ofrece la ya clásica traducción de Segalá en la última versión corregida por él, y un importante estudio de Javier de Hoz, de la Universidad Complutense, que contextualiza el poema facilitando la comprensión y el disfrute del lector de nuestro tiempo.
Penélope
Lidia García Merenciano • 2025
<b>¡Oh, Musa! Háblanos de ella.</b><br> <b>¿Qué pasó con Penélope tras el regreso de Ulises?</b><br> <b>Fue entonces cuando empezó el gran viaje, </b><br> <b>aquel que nunca ha sido contado.</b><br> <b>El que la historia ha borrado.</b><br> <b>Oh, Musa, cuéntanos en estas páginas su odisea.</b><br> <b> </b><br> Fueron veinte años los que Penélope esperó a su marido. Durante ese largo tiempo, reinó Ítaca y crio al futuro monarca, Telémaco. Sin embargo, a su regreso, Ulises decidió expulsarla por traición convirtiendo el destino de su esposa en un misterio. Pero ¿acaso puede alguien creer que la mujer que engañó a mil pretendientes de entre los hombres más poderosos de Grecia --tejiendo un sudario infinito para dilatar el tiempo-- se rendiría sin más? Esta novela nos cuenta el viaje de Penélope después de su exilio. Un relato repleto de emoción y aventuras, de historia y mitología, que nos sumerge en la antigua Grecia y nos transporta hasta el corazón de una mujer capaz de arriesgarlo todo para hacer justicia. <p><b>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION</b> <p><b>Tell me of her, O Muse! </b><br> <b>What happened to Penelope after Ulysses' return?</b><br> <b>That's when the great adventure began, </b><br> <b>the one that was never told.</b><br> <b>That history erased.</b><br> <b>O Muse, tell us of her odyssey in these pages. </b><br> <b> </b><br> Penelope waited for her husband for twenty years. During that time, she ruled Ithaca and raised the future king, Telemachus. But upon his return, Ulysses banished her for treason, and her fate after that is a mystery. Are we expected to believe that the woman who deceived countless suiters, among them some of the most powerful men in Greece - weaving an endless shroud to postpone the moment of her decision - would give up so easily? This novel tells the story of Penelope's journey in exile. Full of thrills and adventure, history and mythology, it transports the reader to Ancient Greece and into the heart of a woman willing to risk everything for justice. <p> <b> </b>

I love Dick
Chris Kraus • 2018
When Chris Kraus, an unsuccessful artist pushing 40, spends an evening with a rogue academic named Dick, she falls madly and inexplicably in love, enlisting her husband in her haunted pursuit. Dick proposes a kind of game between them, but when he fails to answer their letters Chris continues alone, transforming an adolescent infatuation into a new form of philosophy.<br/><br/>Blurring the lines of fiction, essay and memoir, Chris Kraus's novel was a literary sensation when it was first published in 1997. Widely considered to be the most important feminist novel of the past two decades, I Love Dick is still essential reading; as relevant, fierce and funny as ever.

The Scapegracers
H. A. Clarke • 2020
An Indie Bestseller!<br/><br/>2021 Locus Award Finalist for Best Young Adult Novel<br/>2021 Dragon Award Finalist for Best Young Adult/Middle Grade Novel<br/><br/>“As tender and intimate as it is ferocious and volatile, Scapegracers deserves to be this generation’s go-to grimoire. May it launch a thousand covens of angry, loving, brilliant girls.” —Amal El-Mohtar in The New York Times Book Review Holiday Books Guide<br/><br/>The Craft for Gen Z: The Scapegracers is an award-nominated, indie bestseller about witchcraft and friendship among a hell-raising coven of teen girls, told in an unapologetically fierce, inclusive, and vibrant voice.<br/><br/>Skulking near the bottom of West High’s social pyramid, Sideways Pike lurks under the bleachers doing magic tricks for bottles of Coke. As a witch, lesbian, and lifelong outsider, she’s had a hard time making friends. But when the three most popular girls pay her forty dollars to cast a spell at their Halloween party, Sideways gets swept into a new clique. The unholy trinity are dangerous angels, sugar-coated rattlesnakes, and now—unbelievably—Sideways’ best friends.<br/><br/>Together, the four bond to form a ferocious and powerful coven. They plan parties, cast curses on jerks, and try to find Sideways a girlfriend, all while eluding the fundamentalist witchfinders hell-bent on stealing their magic. But for Sideways, the hardest part is the whole “having friends” thing. Who knew that balancing human interaction with supernatural peril could be so complicated?<br/><br/>Rich with the urgency of feral youth, The Scapegracers is an atmospheric, voice-driven novel of the occult that explores magic, growing up, and the complexities of friendship with all the rage of a teenage girl.

Circe
Madeline Miller • 2020
"A bold and subversive retelling of the goddess's story," this #1 New York Times bestseller is "both epic and intimate in its scope, recasting the most infamous female figure from the Odyssey as a hero in her own right" (Alexandra Alter, The New York Times). In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child -- not powerful like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power -- the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves. Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts, and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus, the murderous Medea, and, of course, wily Odysseus. But there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone and Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods, ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians. To protect what she loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and choose, once and for all, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love. With unforgettably vivid characters, mesmerizing language, and page-turning suspense, Circe is a triumph of storytelling, an intoxicating epic of family rivalry, palace intrigue, love and loss, as well as a celebration of indomitable female strength in a man's world. #1 New York Times bestseller -- named one of the best books of the year by NPR, the Washington Post, People, Time, Amazon, Entertainment Weekly, Bustle, Newsweek, the A.V.
