El chico que dibujaba constelaciones
Alice Kellen • 2023
La autora que ha enamorado a más de 2.000.000 de lectores.<br/>Esta es una historia de amor, de sueños y de vida. La de Valentina, la chica que no sabía que tenía el mundo a sus pies, la que creció y empezó a pensar en imposibles. La que cazaba estrellas, la que anhelaba más, la que tropezó con él. Con Gabriel, el chico que dibujaba constelaciones, el valiente e idealista, el que confió en las palabras «para siempre» y creó los pilares que terminaron sosteniendo el pasado, el ahora, lo que fueron y los recuerdos que se convertirán en polvo.<br/>Una estrella por cada instante importante. Una marca que solo tú y yo sepamos descifrar. Serán las constelaciones de nuestra vida.<br/>«Esta novela es lo más bonito que he podido leer en mucho tiempo. Me ha parecido un regalo, un soplo de vida... Y todo contado con tanta delicadeza que es precioso leerlo. Solo podría hacerlo Alice. Mil gracias por regalarnos a Valentina y a Gabriel, por su vida. No he podido ser más feliz leyéndolos.» Patricia Bejarano, BookToker

Prohibido Suicidarse En Primavera
Alejandro Casona • 2025
Casona, always critical of the ills of civilized society--of the urban world--uses the theme of suicide as a backdrop for the central theme: the happiness and unhappiness of two brothers, two beings to whom fate reveals itself with two faces, like Janus. Justice or injustice has nothing to do with the heart or the feelings that govern relationships between humans. In the work, everything serves a central idea: the exaltation of life, the rejection of suicide. There is nothing to justify it because outside is Nature, embodied in spring, with all its power, with all its sap that rekindles the desire for joy.
Cadáver exquisito

Carrie
Stephen King • 2008
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 50TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY MARGARET ATWOOD • Stephen King's legendary debut, the bestselling smash hit that put him on the map as one of America's favorite writers • In a world where bullies rule, one girl holds a secret power. Unpopular and tormented, Carrie White's life takes a terrifying turn when her hidden abilities become a weapon of horror. "Stephen King’s first novel changed the trajectory of horror fiction forever. Fifty years later, authors say it’s still challenging and guiding the genre." —Esquire “A master storyteller.” —The Los Angeles Times • “Guaranteed to chill you.” —The New York Times • "Gory and horrifying. . . . You can't put it down." —Chicago Tribune Unpopular at school and subjected to her mother's religious fanaticism at home, Carrie White does not have it easy. But while she may be picked on by her classmates, she has a gift she's kept secret since she was a little girl: she can move things with her mind. Doors lock. Candles fall. Her ability has been both a power and a problem. And when she finds herself the recipient of a sudden act of kindness, Carrie feels like she's finally been given a chance to be normal. She hopes that the nightmare of her classmates' vicious taunts is over . . . but an unexpected and cruel prank turns her gift into a weapon of horror so destructive that the town may never recover.
Tenemos que hablar de Kevin
Lionel Shriver • 2009
<p>Eva es una mujer satisfecha consigo misma. Es autora y editora de guías de viaje para gente tan urbana y feliz como ella. Casada desde hace años con Franklin, decide, ya cerca de los cuarenta, tener un hijo. Y el producto de tan indecisa decisión será Kevin. Pero, casi desde el comienzo, nada se parece a los inefables mitos familiares de la clase media urbana y feliz. Y cuando nace, Kevin es el típico bebé difícil que tortura a los padres. Y, con el tiempo, se convertirá en el terror de las niñeras, en un adolescente terrible, en el antihéroe a quien nada le interesa sino la belleza de la pura maldad. Y en ese trayecto que va desde los primeros desencantos de Eva hasta la sangrienta epifanía del joven Kevin, dos días antes de cumplir los dieciséis años, el niño es un enigma para su madre, que nunca le ha podido querer. «Excelente: por su inteligencia, su lucidez, su sentido del humor extraño, macabro a veces, pero siempre eficaz y también, desde luego, por la audacia con que ataca uno de los mitos, el de la maternidad feliz, más intocables de la cultura en que vivimos» (Laura Freixas).</p>
