A Novel

"When a man is found on a British beach, drifting in and out of consciousness, with no identification and unable to speak, interest in him is sparked immediately. From the hospital staff who find themselves inexplicably drawn to him, to international medical experts who are baffled by him, to the national press who call him Mr. Nobody, everyone wants answers. Who is this man? And what happened to him? Some memories are best forgotten. Neuropsychiatrist Dr. Emma Lewis is asked to assess the patient in a small town deep in the English countryside. This is her field of expertise, this is the chance she's been waiting for, and this case could make her name known across the world. But therein lies the danger. Emma left this same town fourteen years ago and has taken great pains to cover all traces of her past since then. Places aren't haunted . . . people are. But now something--or someone--is calling her back. And the more time she spends with her patient, the more alarmed she becomes that he knows the one thing about her that nobody is supposed to know"--

SOON TO BE AN APPLE TV+ SERIES

A Washington Post Notable Work of Fiction * Winner of the British Book Awards Fiction Book of the Year and overall Book of the Year *A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of The Year * Waterstones Book of the Year * Costa Book Award Finalist

"A novel of almost insolent ambition--lush and fantastical, a wild Eden behind a garden gate...it's part ghost story and part natural history lesson, part romance and part feminist parable. I found it so transporting that 48 hours after completing it, I was still resentful to be back home." --New York Times

London, 1893. When Cora Seaborne's brilliant, domineering husband dies, she steps into her new life as a widow with as much relief as sadness: her marriage was an unhappy one, and she never suited the role of society wife. Seeking refuge in fresh air and open space, she leaves the metropolis for coastal Essex, accompanied by her inquisitive and obsessive eleven-year-old son, Francis, and the boy's nanny, Martha, her fiercely protective friend. 

Once there, they hear rumors that after nearly three hundred years, the mythical Essex Serpent, a fearsome creature that once roamed the marshes, has returned. When a young man is mysteriously killed on New Year's Eve, the community's dread transforms to terror. Cora, a keen amateur naturalist with no patience for religion or superstition, is immediately enthralled, certain that what locals think is a magical sea beast may be a previously undiscovered species. 

Eager to investigate, she is introduced to parish vicar William Ransome, who is equally suspicious of the rumors but for different reasons: a man of faith, he is convinced the alarming reports are caused by moral panic, a flight from the correct and righteous path. As Cora and William attempt to discover the truth about the Essex Serpent's existence, these seeming opposites find themselves inexorably drawn together in an intense relationship that will change both of them in ways entirely unexpected. And as they search for answers, Cora's London past follows her to the coast, with striking consequences. 

Told with exquisite grace and intelligence, The Essex Serpent masterfully explores questions of science and religion, skepticism and faith, but it is most of all a celebration of love, and the many different--and surprising--guises it can take.

A Novel of WWII

Inspired by true events in World War II Latvia, an emotionally charged novel of sacrifice, trauma, resilience, and survival, as witnessed by three generations of women. On one extraordinary day in 1940, Miriam Talan's comfortable life is shattered. While she gives birth to her second child, a son she and her husband, Max, name Monya, the Soviets invade the Baltic state of Latvia and occupy the capital city of Riga, her home. Because the Talans are Jewish, the Soviets confiscate Max's business and the family's house and bank accounts, leaving them with nothing. Then, the Nazis arrive. They kill Max and begin to round up Jews. Fearing for her newborn son and her young daughter, Ilana, Miriam asks her loyal housekeeper to hide them and conceal their Jewish roots to keep them safe until the savagery ends. Three decades later, in Chicago, 24-year-old Sarah Byrne is mourning the untimely death of her mother, Ilana. Sarah's estranged grandmother, Miriam, attends the funeral, opening the door to shocking family secrets. Sarah probes Miriam for information about the past, but it is only when Miriam is in the hospital, delirious with fever, that she begs Sarah to find the son she left behind in Latvia. Traveling to the Soviet satellite state, Sarah begins her search with the help of Roger, a charismatic Russian-speaking professor. But as they come closer to the truth, she realizes her quest may have disastrous consequences. A magnificent, emotionally powerful story of family and the lingering devastation of war, The Daughters of the Occupation explores how trauma is passed down in families and illuminates the strength and grace that can be shared by generations.

Josh Malerman

Now a Netflix film starring Sandra Bullock, Sarah Paulson, Rosa Salazar and John Malkovich! Written with the narrative tension of The Road and the exquisite terror of classic Stephen King, Bird Box is a propulsive, edge-of-your-seat horror thriller, set in an apocalyptic near-future world—a masterpiece of suspense from the brilliantly imaginative Josh Malerman. Something is out there . . . Something terrifying that must not be seen. One glimpse and a person is driven to deadly violence. No one knows what it is or where it came from. Five years after it began, a handful of scattered survivors remain, including Malorie and her two young children. Living in an abandoned house near the river, she has dreamed of fleeing to a place where they might be safe. Now, that the boy and girl are four, it is time to go. But the journey ahead will be terrifying: twenty miles downriver in a rowboat—blindfolded—with nothing to rely on but her wits and the children’s trained ears. One wrong choice and they will die. And something is following them. But is it man, animal, or monster? Engulfed in darkness, surrounded by sounds both familiar and frightening, Malorie embarks on a harrowing odyssey—a trip that takes her into an unseen world and back into the past, to the companions who once saved her. Under the guidance of the stalwart Tom, a motely group of strangers banded together against the unseen terror, creating order from the chaos. But when supplies ran low, they were forced to venture outside—and confront the ultimate question: in a world gone mad, who can really be trusted? Interweaving past and present, Josh Malerman’s breathtaking debut is a horrific and gripping snapshot of a world unraveled that will have you racing to the final page.

Paperback (1 to 2 lbs)

«Me recuerda a Anaïs Nin. Es muy importante que leamos novelas como esta, centradas en el deseo y la sexualidad de la mujer.» -Luna Miguel «Si no hubiera reivindicado su derecho al placer habría vivido dichosa o al menos tranquila hasta su muerte. Y, sin embargo, aún ahora consideraba intolerable la insatisfacción, ese estado de letargo sexual al cual la condenaba el matrimonio con Luis. La libertad tenía un precio y ella lo estaba pagando, duramente, de la peor manera que habría imaginado, pero después las puertas del mundo se le abrirían de par en par». El tiempo de las amazonas recorre tres décadas de la vida de tres primas —Gaby, Virginia e Isabel— que llegan a vivir a París en los años setenta. Su incesante exploración del deseo las llevará a tomar decisiones que tendrán un alto costo para sus vidas. Sus parejas, sus amantes y sus amigos forman parte de un universo narrativo que se mueve alrededor de las preocupaciones centrales de la obra de la autora: la madurez, el placer sexual, la amistad y la enfermedad. Veinticinco años después de su muerte, Marvel Moreno vuelve a sorprendernos con esta, su segunda y última novela, una historia de mujeres que se adelantaron a su propio tiempo y que rompieron las estructuras para arriesgarlo todo por la libertad. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION “She reminds me of Anaïs Nin. It’s important that we read novels like this, centered in desire and women’s sexuality.” —Luna Miguel “If she hadn’t vindicated her right to feel pleasure, she would have lived blissfully, or at least at peace until her death. And, yet, even now she considered dissatisfaction intolerable, that state of sexual lethargy she was condemned to endure in her marriage to Luis. Freedom had a price, and she was paying it, harshly, in the worst way she could have possibly imagined. But afterwards, the doors to the world would be wide open for her.” The time of the Amazon runs along three decades in the life of three cousins —Gaby, Virginia, and Isabel— living in Paris in the sixties. Their relentless exploration of desire will lead to decisions that will exact a heavy toll on their lives. Their partners, their lovers, and their friends make up a narrative universe that revolves around the main preoccupations in the author’s work: maturity, sexual pleasure, friendship, and sickness. Twenty-five years after her death, Marvel Moreno amazes us again with this, her second a final novel, a story about women ahead of their own time, who broke away from tradition in order to risk everything in the name of freedom.

Cuando se publica el revelador artículo sobre Javier que el esposo de Lydia escribe para el periódico local, sus vidas cambiarán para siempre.

Forzados a huir, Lydia y Luca, de ocho años, pronto se encuentran a kilómetros de su cómoda existencia. Transformados instantáneamente en migrantes, Lydia y Luca viajan en La Bestia, los trenes que se dirigen al norte hacia Estados Unidos, el único lugar donde Javier no podrá encontrarlos. Cuando se unen a las innumerables personas que intentan llegar al norte, Lydia pronto se da cuenta que todos huyen de algo. ¿Pero hacia qué huyen exactamente?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
#1 New York Times Bestseller OPRAH''S BOOK CLUB PICK
"Extraordinary."―Stephen King
"This book is not simply the great American novel; it''s the great novel of las Americas. It''s the great world novel! This is the international story of our times. Masterful."―Sandra Cisneros
También de este lado hay sueños. On this side, too, there are dreams.

Lydia Quixano Pérez lives in the Mexican city of Acapulco. She runs a bookstore. She has a son, Luca, the love of her life, and a wonderful husband who is a journalist. And while there are cracks beginning to show in Acapulco because of the drug cartels, her life is, by and large, fairly comfortable.

Even though she knows they''ll never sell, Lydia stocks some of her all-time favorite books in her store. And then one day a man enters the shop to browse and comes up to the register with a few books he would like to buy―two of them her favorites. Javier is erudite. He is charming. And, unbeknownst to Lydia, he is the jefe of the newest drug cartel that has gruesomely taken over the city. When Lydia''s husband''s tell-all profile of Javier is published, none of their lives will ever be the same.

Forced to flee, Lydia and eight-year-old Luca soon find themselves miles and worlds away from their comfortable middle-class existence. Instantly transformed into migrants, Lydia and Luca ride la bestia―trains that make their way north toward the United States, which is the only place Javier''s reach doesn''t extend. As they join the countless people trying to reach el norte, Lydia soon sees that everyone is running from something. But what exactly are they running to?

«Es muy raro ver que las manos de tu madre acaricien la cara de su amante. Que le peinen la barba. Es raro también que los ojos que antes vigilaban todo hayan renunciado al mundo como si le dijeran: puedes seguir sin mí.» Un día cualquiera, a finales de los años setenta, la protagonista abrió la puerta de su casa y vio cómo su madre se iba en una motocicleta Harley-Davidson con su vecino: un extravagante pintor y lector de cartas zodiacales. Muchos años después, narra a su hija las circunstancias que llevaron a esa partida y también las que la precedieron en un relato que reúne a tres generaciones de mujeres y casi seis décadas de acontecimientos históricos (desde los movimientos estudiantiles del 68 hasta la pandemia actual, pasando por las dictaduras y la caída del Muro de Berlín, la globalización y las pantallas): una mirada subversiva y feminista del país y del mundo durante ese periodo. Una vida fuera de lo común, sorprendente y conmovedora, pero desprovista de sentimentalismos. Con inteligencia narrativa, sentido del humor y una visión nostálgica de un mundo que se fue, Rosa Beltrán nos regala un relato intimista y deslumbrante que encontrará eco en varias generaciones de lectores que han vivido, de una forma u otra, lo que se cuenta. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "It’s very rare to see your mother's hands caress her lover's face. Comb his beard. It’s also rare that the eyes that once watched everything have renounced the world as if they were saying: you can go on without me." On any given day, in the late 1970s, the protagonist opened the door of her house and saw her mother go off on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle with her neighbor: an extravagant painter and reader of zodiac charts. Many years later, she recounts to her daughter the circumstances that led to that departure, and also those that preceded it, in a story that brings together three generations of women and almost six decades of historical events (from the student movements of '68 to the current pandemic, going through dictatorships and the fall of the Berlin Wall, globalization and screens): a subversive and feminist look at the country and the world during that period. A life out of the ordinary, surprising and moving, but devoid of sentimentality. With narrative intelligence, a sense of humor and a nostalgic vision of a world that is gone, Rosa Beltrán gives us an intimate and dazzling story that will find an echo in several generations of readers who’ve lived, in one way or another, what is being told.

UNA JOVEN DEBUTANTE UN HOMBRE INAPROPIADO SE ACABÓ LA EDAD DE LA INOCENCIA «Si eres una apasionada de las novelas de Jane Austen y te enamoraste de Los Bridgerton, te encantará Lady Jane.» Brenna Watson Todo el mundo sabe que a una joven soltera que posea una cierta fortuna le hace falta un esposo y lady Jane Milford no es una excepción. Por eso acaba de ser presentada como debutante para cumplir con el deber que marca la sociedad: casarse con el pretendiente más adecuado. Sin embargo, el destino pondrá en su camino a Blake Norwood, heredero del título de marqués de Heyworth, uno de esos hombres inapropiados pero fascinantes que hacen temblar el cuerpo entero y también las más férreas convicciones. Mientras Jane se debate entre hacer lo correcto o dejarse llevar por su deseo hacia Blake, comienza a recibir una serie de cartas firmadas bajo el misterioso seudónimo de Lady Minerva, quien la anima a explorar el alcance de su pasión y los límites de su cuerpo para entender cómo son en realidad las relaciones entre hombres y mujeres, descubriéndole un mundo de sensaciones que nunca pensó que pudiera existir. La crítica ha dicho: «Adictiva, glamurosa y capaz de incendiarnos de pasión.» Clara Hernández, WOMAN ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A YOUNG DEBUTANT. AN UNSUITABLE MAN. THE AGE OF INNOCENCE IS OVER. “If you are a passionate reader of Jane Austen’s novels and you fell in love with The Bridgertons, you will love Lady Jane.” —Brenna Watson Everyone knows that an unmarried young woman of wealth needs a husband, and Lady Jane Milford is no exception.

Gabriel García Márquez

García Márquez traza la historia de un amor que no ha sido correspondido por medio siglo. Aunque nunca parece estar propiamente contenido, el amor fluye a través de la novela de mil maneras: alegre, melancólico, enriquecedor, siempre sorprendente.

La historia de amor entre Fermina Daza y Florentino Ariza, en el escenario de un pueblecito portuario del Caribe y a lo largo de más de 60 años, podría parecer un melodrama de amantes contrariados que al final vencen por la gracia del tiempo y la fuerza de sus propios sentimientos, ya que García Márquez se complace en utilizar los más clásicos recursos de los folletines tradiciones. Pero este tiempo - por una vez sucesivo, y no circular - este escenario y estos personajes son como una mezcla tropical de plantas y arcilla que la mano del maestro moldea y con las que fantasea a su placer, para al final ir a desembocar en los territorios del mito y la leyenda. Los jugos, olores y sabores del trópico alimentan una prosa alucinatoria que en esta ocasión llega al puerto oscilante del final feliz.

"Era inevitable: el olor de las almendras amargas le recordaba siempre el destino de los amores contrariados. El doctor Juvenal Urbino lo percibió desde que entró en la casa todavía en penumbras, adonde había acudido de urgencia a ocuparse de un caso que para él había dejado de ser urgente desde hacía muchos años. El refugiado antillano Jeremiah de Saint-Amour, inválido de guerra, fotógrafo de niños y su adversario de ajedrez más compasivo, se había puesto a salvo de los tormentos de la memoria con un sahumerio de cianuro de oro. Encontró el cadáver cubierto con una manta en el catre de campaña donde había dormido siempre, cerca de un taburete con la cubeta que había servido para vaporizar el veneno."

La crítica dijo:
"La voz garciamarquiana alcanza aquí un nivel en el que resulta a la vez clásica y coloquial, opalescente y pura, capaz de alabar y maldecir, de reír y llorar, de fabular y cantar, de despegar y volar cuando es necesario." (Thomas Pynchon, The New York Times)


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From the Nobel Prize-winning author of One Hundred Years of Solitude comes a masterly evocation of an unrequited passion so strong that it binds two people's lives together for more than half a century.
In their youth, Florentino Ariza and Fermina Daza fall passionately in love. When Fermina eventually chooses to marry a wealthy, well-born doctor, Florentino is devastated, but he is a romantic. As he rises in his business career, he whiles away the years in 622 affairs - yet he reserves his heart for Fermina. Her husband dies at last, and Florentino purposefully attends the funeral. Fifty years, nine months, and four days after he first declared his love for Fermina, he does so again.

With humorous sagacity and consummate craft, Gabriel García Márquez traces an exceptional half-century of unrequited love. Though it seems never to be conveniently contained, love flows through the novel in many wonderful guises - joyful, melancholy, enriching, and ever surprising.

Marlena, una amistad peligrosa

Armando Lucas Correa

Novela

Una novela inolvidable ambientada en el Berlín de la primavera de 1939, la Cuba pre- y postrevolucionaria y el Nueva York después del 11 de septiembre.

Antes de que todo se desmoronara, Hannah Rosenthal y sus padres tenían una vida encantadora. Su familia, una de las más distinguidas en los altos círculos sociales berlineses, era admirada por amigos y vecinos. Ahora en 1939, Berlín se ha teñido de los colores blanco, rojo y negro de una bandera que no reconocen como suya. Hannah se refugia con su mejor amigo, Leo Martin, en los callejones y parques de una ciudad que ya no los quiere. Los dos niños hacen un pacto: pase lo que pase, se prometen un futuro juntos.

Un rayo de esperanza les llega a los Rosenthal y los Martin: el Saint Louis, un enorme y lujoso trasatlántico partirá de Hamburgo a Cuba con más de novecientos refugiados judíos. En la medida que todos los pasajeros se van llenando de ilusión por el brillante futuro que les espera, el amor de Hannah y Leo florece entre juegos, bailes de disfraces y cenas exquisitas. Hasta que empiezan a llegar noticias funestas desde La Habana cuyo gobierno prohíbe al barco atracar en el puerto. El majestuoso navío, que parecía la única salvación para ellos, podría terminar convirtiéndose en su pena de muerte.

Siete décadas más tarde, en Nueva York, a punto de cumplir sus doce años, Anna Rosen recibe, procedente de Cuba, un misterioso sobre de Hannah, su tía abuela, a quien nunca conoció. En un intento por armar el rompecabezas del pasado de su familia, Anna y su madre deciden viajar a encontrarse con Hannah. Al entrelazar el dolor del pasado con los misterios del presente, revive la memoria de un apellido olvidado y, a su vez, les rinde honor a aquellos que amó y que trágicamente perdió.
