El amor, la atracción erótica y la fascinación que sienten Manuel y Verónia por la casi niña adolescente Teresa va más allá del amor. Más aún cuando descubrimos que Teresa es una deficiente mental. La imbricación de esas dos versiones del ser inexplicable y hermético que es Teresa compone esta novela en la que confluyen la embriaguez y el canto con el pánico, la melancolía y la aceptación de la culpa. En el centro, como un ser del silencio, Teresa seguirá intocada e intocable, inmóvil, aun cuando todo se precipite a su alrededor. Andrés Barba ha vuelto a crear unos personajes emocionantes e inaprensibles, una parábola de los ávidos de amor que se precipitan en el infierno y la plenitud de un amor que jamás se habrían atrevido a desear, pero para el que quizá habían sido elegidos. Premio Torrente Ballester: según el acta del jurado, ''hay una maestría psicológica en el tratamiento valiente y comprometido de un tema tan delicado''.

An irresistible and messy love story about the terrible allure of wanting something that promises nothingAt 24, Hera is a clump of unmet potential. To her, the future is nothing but an exhausting thought exercise, one depressing hypothetical after another. She’s sharp in more ways than one, adrift in her own smug malaise, until her new job moderating the comments section of an online news outlet—a role even more mind-numbing than it sounds—introduces her to Arthur, a middle-aged journalist. Though she's preferred women to men for years now, she soon finds herself falling into an all-consuming affair with him. She is coming apart with want and loving every second of it! Well, except for the tiny hiccup of Arthur’s wife—and that said wife has no idea Hera exists.With its daringly specific and intimate voice, Green Dot is a darkly hilarious and deeply felt examination of the joys and indignities of coming into adulthood against the pitfalls of the twenty-first century and the winding, tortuous, and often very funny journey we take in deciding who we are and who we want to be.

Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll. With an Introduction and Notes by Michael Irwin, Professor of English Literature, University of Kent at Canterbury This selection of Carroll's works includes Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, both containing the famous illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. No greater books for children have ever been written. The simple language, dreamlike atmosphere, and fantastical characters are as appealing to young readers today as ever they were. Meanwhile, however, these apparently simple stories have become recognised as adult masterpieces, and extraordinary experiments, years ahead of their time, in Modernism and Surrealism. Through wordplay, parody and logical and philosophical puzzles, Carroll engenders a variety of sub-texts, teasing, ominous or melancholy. For all the surface playfulness there is meaning everywhere. The author reveals himself in glimpses.

One of Twain's most celebrated novellas, The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg is a satirical retelling of the Garden of Eden story in the Bible, in which the author, mocking the supposed honesty and incorruptibility of the inhabitants of an imaginary American town, shows how man is fundamentally bad and cannot resist the temptations of gold. This collection also includes another acclaimed novella, ''A Double-Barrelled Detective Story'', a spoof of the mystery genre featuring Sherlock Holmes in the American West, as well as lesser-known narratives such as ''The Belated Russian Passport'' and ''The Death Disk''. Together, these tales are a testament to Twain's inexhaustible gift for invention and his skills as a storyteller...

An epic love story one hundred years in the making…Leap years are a strange, enchanted time. And for some, even a single February can be life-changing.Ricki Wilde has many talents, but being a Wilde isn’t one of them. As the impulsive, artistic daughter of a powerful Atlanta dynasty, she’s the opposite of her famous socialite sisters. Where they’re long-stemmed roses, she’s a dandelion: an adorable bloom that’s actually a weed, born to float wherever the wind blows. In her bones, Ricki knows that somewhere, a different, more exciting life awaits her.When regal nonagenarian, Ms. Della, invites her to rent the bottom floor of her Harlem brownstone, Ricki jumps at the chance for a fresh beginning. She leaves behind her family, wealth, and chaotic romantic decisions to realize her dream of opening a flower shop. And just beneath the surface of her new neighborhood, the music, stories and dazzling drama of the Harlem Renaissance still simmers.One evening in February as the heady, curiously off-season scent of night-blooming jasmine fills the air, Ricki encounters a handsome, deeply mysterious stranger who knocks her world off balance in the most unexpected way.Set against the backdrop of modern Harlem and Renaissance glamour, A Love Song for Ricki Wilde is a swoon-worthy love story of two passionate artists drawn to the magic, romance, and opportunity of New York, and whose lives are uniquely and irreversibly linked.
