The New York Times bestseller and basis for the Tony Award–winning hit musical, soon to be a major motion picture starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.With millions of copies in print around the world, Gregory Maguire’s Wicked is established not only as a commentary on our time but as a novel to revisit for years to come. Wicked relishes the inspired inventions of L. Frank Baum’s 1900 novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, while playing sleight of hand with our collective memories of the 1939 MGM film starring Margaret Hamilton (and Judy Garland). In this fast-paced, fantastically real, and supremely entertaining novel, Maguire has populated the largely unknown world of Oz with the power of his own imagination. Years before Dorothy and her dog crash-land, another little girl makes her presence known in Oz. This girl, Elphaba, is born with emerald-green skin—no easy burden in a land as mean and poor as Oz, where superstition and magic are not strong enough to explain or overcome the natural disasters of flood and famine. Still, Elphaba is smart, and by the time she enters Shiz University, she becomes a member of a charmed circle of Oz’s most promising young citizens.But Elphaba’s Oz is no utopia. The Wizard’s secret police are everywhere. Animals—those creatures with voices, souls, and minds—are threatened with exile. Young Elphaba, green and wild and misunderstood, is determined to protect the Animals—even if it means combating the mysterious Wizard, even if it means risking her single chance at romance. Ever wiser in guilt and sorrow, she can find herself grateful when the world declares her a witch. And she can even make herself glad for that young girl from Kansas. Recognized as an iconoclastic tour de force on its initial publication, the novel has inspired the blockbuster musical of the same name—one of the longest-running plays in Broadway history. Popular, indeed. But while the novel’s distant cousins hail from the traditions of magical realism, mythopoeic fantasy, and sprawling nineteenth-century sagas of moral urgency, Maguire’s Wicked is as unique as its green-skinned witch.

Esta colección de textos de Adam Michnik, Premio Princesa de Asturias y figura clave de la transición de su país a la democracia, es la primera antología preparada originalmente para el lector español. Hijo de supervivientes del Holocausto, disidente en la Polonia comunista, preso político, miembro del sindicato clandestino Solidaridad y director de Gaceta Wyborcza, la vida de Adam Michnik recorre la historia polaca y europea, de la que es testigo intelectual, pero también protagonista político. La antología se extiende a lo largo de toda su trayectoria, engarzando ensayos esenciales para comprender los grandes desafíos de nuestro tiempo. Desde Nueva vía evolutiva (1976) y la mítica carta escrita en prisión (1983), hasta el epitafio de Aleksiey Navalny y una entrevista sobre la Rusia de Putin (2024), algunos son testimonios históricos de una época pasada, varios resuenan como advertencias tempranas de la deriva europea hacia el populismo y, por último, otros exponen reflexiones de la más acuciante vigencia. Por sus páginas desfilan algunos de los protagonistas de la historia reciente de Europa, desde Thomas Mann a Václav Havel, desde Andréi Sájarov al papa Juan Pablo II. Entre todos ellos, el propio Michnik, por su mente lúcida y su heroico valor, destaca como el más fascinante de los personajes.

But fate intervenes. Simon's plans are blown off course, and Marianne is forced to bury her dreams of a future together.Narrating her own story, characterising herself as ignorant and unworthy, Marianne's telling use of irony and smart thinking gradually suggest to us that she has underestimated her own worth. We begin to believe that - in the end, supported by her courageous Scottish friend, Petronella - she will find the life she never stops craving. But what we can't envisage is that beneath his blithe exterior, Simon Hurst has been nursing a secret which will alter everything.

A Terra Alta Investigation. The second Terra Alta Investigation - a new crime series by one of Europe's leading writers. The mayor of Barcelona is being blackmailed. A sex tape from her student days - one she never knew existed. The price: 300,000 euros and her immediate resignation.

Melchor Marín, living a quiet life in Terra Alta, is tempted back to Barcelona to work the case. But what seemed a simple matter has its roots in far more serious and disturbing crimes.
