Agustina Bazterrica • 2020
<b>PREMIO CLARÍN 2017</b><br><br><b>En esta despiadada distopía -tan brutal como sutil, tan alegórica como realista-, Agustina Bazterrica inspira, con el poder explosivo de la ficción, sensaciones y debates de suma actualidad.</b><br><br>La súbita aparición de un virus letal que ataca a los animales modifica de manera irreversible el mundo: desde las fieras hasta las mascotas deben ser sistemáticamente sacrificadas, y su carne ya no puede ser consumida. Los gobiernos enfrentan la situación con una decisión drástica: legalizando la cría, reproducción, matanza y procesamiento de carne humana. El canibalismo es ley y la sociedad ha quedado dividida en dos grupos: los que comen y los que son comidos.<br><br>Marcos Tejo, encargado general del frigorífico Krieg, separado de su esposa y a cargo de su padre, es un oscuro burócrata. El día en que recibe como regalo una mujer criada para el consumo, las tentaciones lo transforman en una conciencia peligrosa de pliegues truculentos que lo llevará a transgredir las nuevas normas hasta límites que la sociedad desconoce.<br><br>¿Qué resto de humanidad cabe cuando los muertos son cremados para evitar su consumo? ¿Quién es el otro si, de verdad, somos lo que comemos?<br><br><b>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION<br><br><b>The electrifying, award-winning, internationally bestselling novel about a dystopian world in which animals have been wiped out, humans are being harvested for food, and society has been divided into those who eat and those who are eaten.</b><br><br></b>Working at the local processing plant, Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans—though no one calls them that anymore. His wife has left him, his father is sinking into dementia, and Marcos tries not to think about how he makes a living. After all, it happened so quickly. First, it was reported that animals had been infected with a virus and their meat had become poisonous. Then governments initiated the Transition. Now, human meat—“special meat”—is legal. Marcos tries to stick to numbers, consignments, processing.<br><br>Then one day he’s given a gift: a specimen of the finest quality. He leaves her in his barn, tied up, a problem to be disposed of later. But she haunts Marcos. Her trembling body, her watchful, knowing eyes. Though he’s aware that any form of personal contact is forbidden on pain of death, little by little he starts to treat her like a human being. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost—and what might still be saved.<br><br>From Agustina Bazterrica, one of Latin America’s most celebrated and original new voices, <i>Tender Is the Flesh</i> is propulsive and profound, a searing cautionary tale about the cost of consumption and the ties that bind and break us.

Fantacia
De sangre y cenizas
Jennifer L. Armentrout · 2020
<p>Captivating and action-packed, From Blood and Ash is a sexy, addictive, and unexpected fantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros.</p><p><br></p><p>A Maiden…</p><p><br></p><p>Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.</p><p><br></p><p>A Duty…</p><p><br></p><p>The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden.</p><p><br></p><p>A Kingdom…</p><p><br></p><p>Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel.</p><p><br></p><p>Reviews for From Blood and Ash:</p><p><br></p><p>"Dreamy, twisty, steamy escapism.

Tenemos que hablar de Kevin
Lionel Shriver • 2020
Tenemos que hablar de Kevin es una novela epistolar. Cartas largas y detalladas de una mujer a su exesposo, Franklin, el padre de su hijo. Cartas llenas de una ironía cruel y desganada. Poco queda de Eva, la mujer que las firma, salvo las palabras. Lo que quiere contarle a Franklin es la catástrofe de su maternidad. El hijo, Kevin, está preso. Es un adolescente y es un asesino. Y ella necesita nombrar a ese joven al que no supo amar y preguntarse por el origen del Mal.<br/>No hay nadie querible en esta novela de Lionel Shriver. Eva es una empresaria exitosa, creadora de guías de turismo hípster; Franklin es un publicista. Kevin irrumpe como una maldición en su vida perfecta. Es temible desde que nace. Nada le importa. No es posible castigarlo ni amenazarlo porque odia vivir y todo le aburre, salvo la crueldad. Kevin culpa a sus padres de haberlo traído a este mundo estúpido y se venga, no solo como autor de una masacre, sino como niño imposible, que ataca a los débiles, que usa pañales hasta los seis años, que aprende a leer y a sumar en secreto, como si un demonio le susurrara el conocimiento desde el abismo.<br/>Tenemos que hablar de Kevin es una novela sobre la maternidad y sobre cómo los hijos pueden constituir el misterio más íntimo y más insondable.<br/>Mariana Enriquez<br/>Ilustración de cubierta<br/>Ana Galvañ

La gemela

Tras el divorcio de sus padres, las gemelas de 10 años Ivy e Iris se separaron: Ivy vivía su padre, Iris con su madre. Seis años después, y tras la trágica muerte de su madre, las gemelas vuelven a reunirse: Iris se muda con Ivy y su padre. Devastada por los últimos acontecimientos, Iris pasa las primeras semanas en un silencio casi total: la única persona con la que habla es Ivy. Iris siente que su vida ha terminado y no sabe qué hacer. Ivy le promete a su gemela que ahora pueden compartir su vida. Después de todo, son hermanas…<br/>Es una promesa que Iris se tomará muy en serio. Y en poco tiempo, los amigos de Ivy, su vida en la escuela y su novio caen bajo su poder de atracción. Lentamente, Ivy se da cuenta de que está siendo expulsada de su propia vida. Pero ella sabe que eso es pura paranoia, ¿verdad? Poco a poco todo apunta a que su hermana gemela no es exactamente lo que parece, e incluso la muerte de su madre es más sospechosa de lo que parecía al principio. Quizás al acoger a Iris de nuevo, han cometido el mayor error de su vida…

<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.

And yet we played on, because we had hope that we might be the lucky ones."<br/><br/>In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman, falls for a wealthy stranger at the seashore near her home in Korea. He promises her the world, but when she discovers she is pregnant--and that her lover is married--she refuses to be bought. Instead, she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle, sickly minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to abandon her home, and to reject her son's powerful father, sets off a dramatic saga that will echo down through the generations.<br/><br/>Richly told and profoundly moving, Pachinko is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty. From bustling street markets to the halls of Japan's finest universities to the pachinko parlors of the criminal underworld, Lee's complex and passionate characters--strong, stubborn women, devoted sisters and sons, fathers shaken by moral crisis--survive and thrive against the indifferent arc of history.<br/><br/>*Includes reading group guide*

Una velada en la librería Morisaki
Satoshi Yagisawa · 2023
Tokio. En Jinbocho, el barrio de librerías más grande del mundo, los días transcurren con tranquilidad. En las callejuelas alejadas del tráfico, la gente pasea curioseando entre centenares de libros, cómics, guiones de cine e incluso mapas antiguos: hay variedad para todo tipo de lectores. En la librería Morisaki, un pequeño negocio familiar, apenas caben cinco personas. Montones de libros atestan las estanterías hasta invadir todos sus rincones y, cuando el timbre sobre la puerta anuncia la llegada de un cliente, su propietario, el tío Satoru, se asoma de inmediato desde el mostrador. Recientemente su esposa, Momoko, lo ha estado ayudando, pero su sobrina Takako también lo acompaña en sus ratos libres. Para el aniversario de bodas de Satoru y Momoko, la joven les regala un viaje romántico. Satoru está preocupado por la librería, pero acepta que Takako lo reemplace durante unos días y se mude a la habitación de la planta superior, como ya hizo en el pasado. Volver a sumergirse en la atmósfera atemporal de Jinbocho, con su colorido panorama de habituales y visitantes, será el empujón que Takako necesitaba. Por primera vez en mucho tiempo, se siente entusiasmada. Porque una librería, descubre, está poblada de historias; no solo las que esconden los libros, sino también las de quienes la frecuentan. Y esas historias crean lazos. Pero entonces, ¿por qué Satoru se comporta de manera tan extraña? ¿Y qué quiere la mujer del paraguas rojo que está al final de la calle? ¿Cuántas historias, emociones y tesoros más custodia entre sus paredes la librería Morisaki?

Have you ever wondered why that 13-digit number on the back of a book costs $125 in the United States but is completely free in Canada and India? This book, The Global ISBN Handbook, is your 2025 guide to the International Standard Book Number. It explains everything about this global "fingerprint" for books. The ISBN is the most important cornerstone of the publishing industry. It started as a simple warehouse tool in the 1960s. Now, it is a complex digital identifier used in over 200 countries. This handbook deconstructs the entire system. It uses 15 distinct national case studies to do this. You will learn how the old 10-digit system changed to the new 13-digit one. We break down the five parts of the ISBN, from the "Bookland" prefix to the final check digit. The book explores the global governance framework, starting with the International ISBN Agency. Then, it dives deep into how different countries run their systems. You'll see the privatized, high-cost model in the United States. You'll compare it to Canada's free, government-run system. We explore the industry-led models in Brazil and Germany. We look at government-run systems in Mexico and India. We even cover the unique case of China, where the ISBN is not a simple identifier but a state-controlled publication license. The book also examines the systems in the UK , France , Russia , Japan , Australia , South Africa , Nigeria , and Egypt. Many books and websites can tell you how to get an ISBN. This handbook is the only resource that explains why the process is so different everywhere you look. It moves beyond a simple "how-to" and provides a true global analysis. It directly compares the privatized, for-profit models in the US and UK against the free, public-good systems in Canada and South Africa. You won't just learn the price; you will understand the cultural policies, market structures, and legal philosophies that shape that price. This book shows how the ISBN is a "global mirror". It reveals how a simple number can be a commercial product in one nation , a tool of cultural policy in another , and an instrument of state control in a third. This comparative insight is the missing piece for any author, publisher, or researcher trying to navigate the complex international publishing market. Disclaimer: This handbook is an independently produced resource for commentary and analysis. The author has no affiliation with the International ISBN Agency, R.R. Bowker, Library and Archives Canada, the National Press and Publication Administration, or any other national ISBN agency.
