Maryposa: Una sola noche (Spanish Edition)

Meera Kean • 2024

“Las chicas buenas controlan las pesadillas, no son controladas por ellas”. Marianne fue adoctrinada para ser la chica perfecta. En su iglesia está prohibido salir después de las ocho sin compañía de sus padres o socializar con hombres, mucho menos permitir que la toquen… Una noche de Halloween es suficiente para romper todas las reglas. Su nueva amiga la arrastra a Villa del terror: un parque temático creado para hacer realidad tus peores pesadillas, donde hay hombres enmascarados al acecho y el más aterrador marca a Marianne como su objetivo. Su voz es profunda. Sus palabras la hacen temblar. En la oscuridad, despierta una parte desconocida de ella. Está dispuesto a jugar a las escondidas, cazarla y hacerla romper todos sus votos. Marianne quiere saber quién se oculta detrás de la máscara. El reto es seguirle en un juego perverso hasta descubrir su identidad sin caer en la tentación.

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.
