James Ellroy—Demon Dog of American Letters—goes straight to the tragic heart of postwar Hollywood with the story of Marilyn Monroe’s untimely death, in an astonishing, ripped-from-the-headlines crime story.Los Angeles, August 4, 1962. The city broils through a midsummer heat wave. Marilyn Monroe ODs. A B-movie starlet is kidnapped. The overhyped LAPD overreacts. Chief Bill Parker’s looking for some getback. The Monroe deal looks like a moneymaker. He calls in Freddy Otash.The freewheeling Freddy O: tainted ex-cop, defrocked private eye, dope fiend, and freelance extortionist. A man who lives by the maxim “Opportunity is love.” Freddy gets to work. He dimly perceives Marilyn Monroe’s death and the kidnapped starlet to be a poisonous riddle that only he has the guts and the brains to untangle. We are with him as he tears through all those who block his path to the truth. We are with him as he penetrates the faux-sunshine of Jack and Bobby Kennedy and the shuck of Camelot. We are with him as he falters, and grasps for love beyond opportunity. We are with him as he tracks Marilyn Monroe’s horrific last charade through a nightmare L.A. that he served to create — and as he confronts his complicity and his own raging madness.It’s the Summer of ’62, baby. Freddy O’s got a hot date with history. The savage Sixties are ready to pop. It’s just a shot away.The Enchanters is a transcendent work of American popular fiction. It is James Ellroy at his most crazed, brilliant, provocative, profanely hilarious, and stop-your-heart tender. It is a luminous psychological drama and an unparalleled thrill ride. It is, resoundingly, the great American crime novel.

Adelaida trabaja como anticuaria, tiene un marido más joven que ella con el que está en crisis, una madre cómplice y sabia a pesar de un principio de arterioesclerosis, y cuatro amigas de verdad, que, como ella, atraviesan la crisis de los cincuenta. ¿Crisis? De hecho, parece que nunca se han divertido tanto. En sus encuentros (casi siempre en un restaurante chino) intercambian las más indecibles confidencias sexuales, y se permite al lector escuchar a escondidas y así conocer, en los detalles más bochornosos, las aventuras y desventuras eróticas de Adelaide, Benedetta, Tonia, Rosaria y Martina. Cinco mujeres muy diferentes entre sí pero unidas por dos cosas: una visión ahora desencantada de la vida y, al mismo tiempo, un gran deseo de vivirla plenamente. Incluso a pesar de la edad avanzada. Nos reímos mucho, a sus espaldas y las de sus parejas, tan torpes como para despertar ternura. Pero entre una sonrisa y una carcajada también pasa a reflexionar sobre el eterno conflicto de las relaciones entre los sexos y sobre el valor indestructible de la amistad. Una advertencia: abstenerse puritanos y personas sensibles. Mantener fuera del alcance de los niños.

Las reflexivas y desenfadadas crónicas de una familia extensa puestas en escena siguiendo el guión de un despistado intelectual y moral de cabaret. Una saga que se desarrolla en una serie de bocetos irreverentes. El léxico familiar de judíos fanáticos, católicos conversos, ateos cínicos. La matriarca de 90 años es la abuela Sara, una ansiosa belicista que vive en Israel y llama constantemente. Su interlocutor favorito es Saretta, la más joven de los nietos, astuta y audaz, dulce e impredecible, un cruce entre Franny Glass y Giovanna D'Arco. Luego están sus hermanos: el mayor, Isaac, un genio de las matemáticas y epistemólogo en formación, y Davide, un maníaco sexual y hincha compulsivo de la Juventus. El tío, el narrador, Paolo. El gato Héctor. El padre: ausente. Abandonó a Ester, la prima de Paolo, cuando Saretta tenía dos años. El tío se ve obligado, a su pesar, a ocupar su lugar, sobre todo por teléfono. Desde allí trata de educar a los niños, da consejos, responde preguntas surrealistas, se escapa. Es neurótico, hipocondríaco e inmaduro como ellos, un viejo adolescente, un puer aeternus y anquilosado al que sus nietos han elegido para el liderazgo chamánico, salvo para burlarse de su inmadurez. Es el idiota sabio, temeroso y tentado por el papel de pater familias. En el contexto del romanismo contemporáneo y burlándose de su propia imaginería psicoanalítica, Paolo Repetti escribe su novela familiar. El encuentro y el choque entre generaciones, la ausencia e indolencia de los padres, la inteligencia de los hijos.

New York, 1967: un jeune aspirant poète rencontre un énigmatique mécène français et sa sulfureuse maîtresse. Un meurtre scelle bientôt, de New York à Paris, cette communauté de destins placés sous le double signe du désir charnel et de la quête éperdue de justice. Superbe variation sur l'ère du soupçon, Invisible explore, sur plus de trois décennies, les méandres psychiques de protagonistes immergés dans des relations complexes et tourmentées. Le vertigineux kaléidoscope du roman met en perspective changeante les séductions multiformes d'un récit dont le motif central ne cesse de se déplacer. On se délecte des tribulations du jeune Américain naïf et idéaliste confronté au secret et aux interdits, tout autant qu'on admire l'exercice de haute voltige qu'accomplit ce très singulier roman de formation. Au sommet de son art narratif, Paul Auster interroge les ressorts mêmes de la fiction, au fil d'une fascinante réflexion sur les thèmes de la disparition et de la fuite.

For generations, our remote ancestors have been cast as primitive and childlike - either free and equal, or thuggish and warlike. Civilization, we are told, could be achieved only by sacrificing those original freedoms or, alternatively, by taming our baser instincts. David Graeber and David Wengrow show how such theories first emerged in the eighteenth century as a reaction to indigenous critiques of European society, and why they are wrong. In doing so, they overturn our view of human history, including the origins of farming, property, cities, democracy, slavery and civilization itself.Drawing on path-breaking research in archaeology and anthropology, the authors show how history becomes a far more interesting place once we begin to see what's really there. If humans did not spend 95 per cent of their evolutionary past in tiny bands of hunter-gatherers, what were they doing all that time? If agriculture, and cities, did not mean a plunge into hierarchy and domination, then what kinds of social and economic organization did they lead to? The answers are often unexpected, and suggest that the course of history may be less set in stone, and more full of playful possibilities than we tend to assume.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. Wise, funny, and heartbreaking, Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi’s acclaimed graphic memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution.“A wholly original achievement.... Satrapi evokes herself and her schoolmates coming of age in a world of protests and disappearances.... A stark, shocking impact.” —The New York Times: The 50 Best Memoirs of the Past 50 YearsIn powerful black-and-white comic strip images, Satrapi tells the coming-of-age story of her life in Tehran from ages six to fourteen, years that saw the overthrow of the Shah’s regime, the triumph of the Islamic Revolution, and the devastating effects of war with Iraq. The intelligent and outspoken only child of committed Marxists and the great-granddaughter of one of Iran’s last emperors, Marjane bears witness to a childhood uniquely entwined with the history of her country.Persepolis paints an unforgettable portrait of daily life in Iran and of the bewildering contradictions between home life and public life. Marjane’s child’s-eye view of dethroned emperors, state-sanctioned whippings, and heroes of the revolution allows us to learn as she does the history of this fascinating country and of her own extraordinary family. Intensely personal, profoundly political, and wholly original, Persepolis is at once a story of growing up and a reminder of the human cost of war and political repression. It shows how we carry on, with laughter and tears, in the face of absurdity. And, finally, it introduces us to an irresistible little girl with whom we cannot help but fall in love.
