It is the night of the referendum and the Five have retired to Kirrin Island to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine, fed up with the rancour of public debate. George is firmly a 'remainer,' whilst Julian, who is in the 'Brexit' camp, is tolerated on the grounds that Anne cannot bear to go camping without him. (Timmy, largely apolitical but not keen on cats or rabbits, joins them too.)The night is tempestuous in more ways than one. George has managed to rig up a satellite link with the mainland so they can keep abreast of the news, and they sit huddled around the fire, amidst some tension, as George's initial hope that the 'remainers' will triumph proves premature . . .Meanwhile, a violent storm whips up. The damage is apparent as the new day dawns and George declares a new meaning for Brexit: Kirrin Island is exiting Britain. . . . that is until the red tape becomes too much of a challenge and their happy life together is under threat.

There is a hint of Armageddon in the air. According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (recorded, thankfully, in 1655, before she blew up her entire village and all its inhabitants, who had gathered to watch her burn), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. So the Armies of Good and Evil are massing, the four Bikers of the Apocalypse are revving up their mighty hogs and hitting the road, and the world's last two remaining witchfinders are getting ready to Fight the Good Fight. Atlantis is rising. Frogs are falling. Tempers are flaring, and everything appears to be going to Divine Plan.Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not particularly looking forward to the coming Rapture. They've lived amongst Humanity for millennia, and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle. So if Crowley and Aziraphale are going to stop it from happening, they've got to find and kill the AntiChrist (which is a shame, really, as he's a nice kid). There's just one glitch: someone seems to have misplaced him.Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's brilliantly dark and funny take on mankind's final judgment is back, in a new hardcover edition which includes an introduction by the authors.

José Saramago en sus palabras
José Saramago en sus palabras.Un catálogo de reflexiones personales, literarias e ideológicas. La intervención en la esfera pública constituye uno de los rasgos centrales del perfil intelectual de José Saramago. Su voz se convirtió en una referencia global, particularmente identificada con el pensamiento crítico, la defensa de los excluidos y la reivindicación de los derechos humanos. La concesión del Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1998 contribuyó a acrecentar el alcance de sus palabras. Este libro constituye un repertorio de declaraciones del autor recogidas en prensa escrita desde la segunda mitad de los años setenta hasta marzo de 2009. Su vertiente de creador de opinión pública queda bien patente en estas páginas, que ahondan en la identidad de José Saramago como persona, como escritor y como ciudadano comprometido. Controvertido y racionalista, sentencioso e imaginativo, original y provocador, político y combativo, Saramago observa, analiza y saca conclusiones poderosas formuladas mediante frases robustas y sugerentes. Unas declaraciones que constituyen hoy un valioso caudal de información y de presentación de ideas y valores éticos, así como un compendio de sabiduría. «En el fondo, todos tenemos necesidad de decir quiénes somos y qué es lo que estamos haciendo, la necesidad de dejar algo hecho, porque esta vida no es eterna y dejar cosas hechas puede ser una forma de eternidad.»José Saramago

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - NOW A NETFLIX FILM - A remarkable tale of the island of Guernsey during the German Occupation, and of a society as extraordinary as its name.''Treat yourself to this book, please--I can't recommend it highly enough.''--Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love''I wonder how the book got to Guernsey? Perhaps there is some sort of secret homing instinct in books that brings them to their perfect readers.'' January 1946: London is emerging from the shadow of the Second World War, and writer Juliet Ashton is looking for her next book subject. Who could imagine that she would find it in a letter from a man she's never met, a native of the island of Guernsey, who has come across her name written inside a book by Charles Lamb. . . .As Juliet and her new correspondent exchange letters, Juliet is drawn into the world of this man and his friends--and what a wonderfully eccentric world it is. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society--born as a spur-of-the-moment alibi when its members were discovered breaking curfew by the Germans occupying their island--boasts a charming, funny, deeply human cast of characters, from pig farmers to phrenologists, literature lovers all.Juliet begins a remarkable correspondence with the society's members, learning about their island, their taste in books, and the impact the recent German occupation has had on their lives. Captivated by their stories, she sets sail for Guernsey, and what she finds will change her forever.Written with warmth and humor as a series of letters, this novel is a celebration of the written word in all its guises and of finding connection in the most surprising ways.Praise for The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society''A jewel . . . Poignant and keenly observed, Guernsey is a small masterpiece about love, war, and the immeasurable sustenance to be found in good books and good friends.''--People''A book-lover's delight, an implicit and sometimes explicit paean to all things literary.''--Chicago Sun-Times''A sparkling epistolary novel radiating wit, lightly worn erudition and written with great assurance and aplomb.''--The Sunday Times (London)''Cooked perfectly à point: subtle and elegant in flavour, yet emotionally satisfying to the finish.''--The Times (London)

Francisco Ayala en La Nación de Buenos Aires
Ofrecemos en este volumen más de una treintena de artículos escritos por Francisco Ayala para La Nación de Buenos Aires que hasta hoy no se habían recogido en libro. A estos textos dispersos, que brindan al lector y al crítico de la obra ayaliana novedad y constatación, se suman además ensayos, reseñas, entrevistas, semblanzas y evocaciones sobre su obra y su figura de destacadas firmas, sobre todo argentinas, aparecidos en el prestigioso Suplemento Cultural del matutino porteño. El conjunto constituye una buena síntesis de la fuerte presencia del escritor granadino en una de las patrias de su exilio. La labor intelectual y creadora de Francisco Ayala (Granada, 1906-Madrid, 2009) como narrador, ensayista, crítico o memorialista, reconocida, entre otros, con los premios Cervantes y Príncipe de Asturias de las Letras, se ha desarrollado durante todo el siglo XX hasta adentrarse en el XXI. Su vocación más intensa siempre fue la literatura de creación, campo en el que publicó libros de prosas vanguardistas (El boxeador y un ángel, 1929, Cazador en el alba, 1930), novelas (Muertes de perro, 1958, El fondo del vaso, 1962) y volúmenes de relatos (Los usurpadores, 1949, La cabeza del cordero, 1949), así como unas memorias (Recuerdos y olvidos 1906-2006) y una obra en la que rompía las fronteras entre los géneros (El jardín de las delicias, 1971). Profesor de Derecho y, ya en el exilio, de Sociología y de Literatura en diversas universidades americanas, Ayala fue también traductor y editor, y durante toda su vida publicó artículos y colaboraciones en prensa. En 1939, recién llegado a Buenos Aires, comenzó una relación profesional con el diario La Nación que habría de extenderse más de cincuenta años, hasta 1993.

En el año 2011, un jurado formado por miembros del Centro Cultural de la Memoria Haroldo Conti y de la Biblioteca Nacional lo incluyó entre los 200 libros fundamentales de la cultura argentina.

The two siblings are almost totally estranged, and couldn’t be more different. Now, however, both with equally empty bank accounts, they don’t have a choice but to get along. Their one asset? Their childhood home. They need to get it on the market as soon as possible because they need the money. Yet the house has morphed into a hoarder’s paradise, and before they died their parents nailed shut the attic door…Sometimes we feel like puppets, controlled by our upbringing and our genes. Sometimes we feel like our parents treat us like toys, or playthings, or even dolls. The past can ground us, teach us, and keep us safe. It can also trap us, and bind us, and suffocate the life out of us. As disturbing events stack up in the house, Louise and Mark have to learn that sometimes the only way to break away from the past, sometimes the only way to sell a haunted house, is to burn it all down.
