From #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black, comes the first book in a stunning new series about a mortal girl who finds herself caught in a web of royal faerie intrigue. Of course I want to be like them. They're beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever. And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe. Jude was seven years old when her parents were murdered and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. But many of the fey despise humans. Especially Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King. To win a place at the Court, she must defy him--and face the consequences. In doing so, she becomes embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, discovering her own capacity for bloodshed. But as civil war threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself.

La niña alemana
Armando Lucas Correa · 2016
"Finalmente, solo a unos pocos se les permitió desembarcar. Antes de que todo cambiara, la vida de Hannah Rosenthal era de ensueño. Pero ahora, en 1939, las calles de Berlín están embanderadas de estandartes nazis, su familia ha sido desposeída de sus bienes y los judíos ya no son bienvenidos en los lugares que antaño frecuentaban. Hannah y Leo Martin, su mejor amigo, sellan un pacto : pase lo que pase, ambos compartirán un mismo futuro. La próxima partida del transatlántico St. Louis con rumbo a Cuba les proporcionará una chispa de esperanza. Tras una ardua gestión para obtener visados, los Rosenthal y los Martin se embarcan en la lujosa nave con destino a La Habana. La vida a bordo del St. Louis se asemeja a unas vacaciones surrealistas para esos refugiados, pero los rumores inquietantes desde Cuba no tardan en ensombrecer el ambiente festivo, y la nave que prometía ser su salvación parece a punto de convertirse en su sentencia de muerte". ... "Inspirada en un hecho poco conocido : la negativa de Cuba y otros países a recibir a los judíos que huían de la Alemania nazi a bordo del transatlántico St. Louis, todo relatado por Hannah, su protagonista"--Site internet de l'éditeur

La ciudad y sus muros inciertos
Haruki Murakami · 2024
Cuando nos rodean los muros, la aventura de toda una vida quizá consista en franquearlos. El regreso de Murakami a la novela después de La muerte del comendador.<br/>«Atención: Murakami ―igual que los Beatles― provoca adicción.» Rodrigo Fresán, El País<br/>«Murakami merece el Nobel.» Rafael Narbona, El Cultural (El Mundo)<br/>«Murakami es el mejor escritor vivo.» Pablo d’Ors, Abc Cultural<br/>«Leer a Murakami es una experiencia transformadora, es adentrarse en un bosque, bajar a un pozo, pasear por un sueño.» Antonio Lozano, La Vanguardia<br/>«Murakami es un grande.» Carlos Zanón, El País<br/>Poco se imagina el joven protagonista de esta novela que la chica de la que se ha enamorado está a punto de desaparecer de su vida. Se han conocido durante un concurso entre estudiantes de diferentes institutos, y no pueden verse muy a menudo. En sus encuentros, sentados bajo la glicinia de un parque o paseando a orillas de un río, la joven empieza a hablarle de una extraña ciudad amurallada, situada, al parecer, en otro mundo; poco a poco, ella acaba confesándole su inquietante sensación de que su verdadero yo se halla en esa misteriosa ciudad. De pronto, entrado el otoño, el protagonista recibe una carta de ella que quizá suponga una despedida, y eso lo sume en una profunda tristeza. Tendrán que pasar años antes de que pueda atisbar alguna posibilidad de reencontrarla.<br/>Y sin embargo, esa ciudad, tal y como ella la describió, existe. Porque todo es posible en este asombroso universo donde la realidad, la identidad, los sueños y las sombras fluctúan y escapan a los rígidos límites de la lógica.
Las gratitudes (Spanish Edition)
Delphine de Vigan · 2021
Una bellísima novela sobre la gratitud, sobre lo importante que es poder dar las gracias a aquellos que nos han ayudado en la vida.<br/>«Hoy ha muerto una anciana a la que yo quería. A menudo pensaba: ”Le debo tanto.“ O: ”Sin ella, probablemente ya no estaría aquí.“ Pensaba: ”Es tan importante para mí.“ Importar, deber. ¿Es así como se mide la gratitud? En realidad, ¿fui suficientemente agradecida? ¿Le mostré mi agradecimiento como se merecía? ¿Estuve a su lado cuando me necesitó, le hice compañía, fui constante?», reflexiona Marie, una de las narradoras de este libro. Su voz se alterna con la de Jérôme, que trabaja en un geriátrico y nos cuenta: «Soy logopeda. Trabajo con las palabras y con el silencio. Con lo que no se dice. Trabajo con la vergüenza, con los secretos, con los remordimientos. Trabajo con la ausencia, con los recuerdos que ya no están y con los que resurgen tras un nombre, una imagen, un perfume. Trabajo con el dolor de ayer y con el de hoy. Con las confidencias. Y con el miedo a morir. Forma parte de mi oficio.»<br/>A ambos personajes –Marie y Jérôme– los une su relación con Michka Seld, una anciana cuyos últimos meses de vida nos relatan estas dos voces cruzadas. Marie es su vecina: cuando era niña y su madre se ausentaba, Michka cuidaba de ella. Jérôme es el logopeda que intenta que la anciana, que acaba de ser ingresada en un geriátrico, recupere aunque sea parcialmente el habla, que va perdiendo por culpa de una afasia.<br/>Y ambos personajes se involucrarán en el último deseo de Michka: encontrar al matrimonio que, durante los años de la ocupación alemana, la salvó de morir en un campo de exterminio acogiéndola y ocultándola en su casa. Nunca les dio las gracias y ahora querría mostrarles su gratitud...<br/>Escrita con un estilo contenido, casi austero, esta narración a dos voces nos habla de la memoria, el pasado, el envejecimiento, las palabras, la bondad y la gratitud hacia aquellos que fueron importantes en nuestras vidas. Son las respectivas gratitudes las que unen a los tres inolvidables personajes cuyas historias se entrelazan en esta conmovedora y deslumbrante novela.
