Finalista del International Booker Prize 2022Pronto en NetflixAutora galardonada con el Premio Pepe Carvalho de Novela Negra 2019 Enigma policial y conflicto intimo se unen en esta novela de la autora de Las viudas de los jueves. Poco despues de que Rita aparezca muerta en la iglesia que suele frecuentar, la investigacion se da por cerrada y su madre es la unica que no renuncia a esclarecer el crimen. Pero asediada por la enfermedad, ella es tambien la menos indicada para encabezar la busqueda del asesino.Un penoso viaje de los suburbios a la Capital y una conversacion reveladora guian la trama de esta novela intima y critica donde el cuerpo femenino es el verdadero protagonista.Elena sabe desnuda a la vez los secretos de sus personajes y las facetas ocultas del autoritarismo y la hipocresia que pueden determinar el curso de una vida. Un relato que rompe el silencio y se pronuncia en voz alta sobre la libertad de elegir. Fue galardonada con el Premio LiBeraturpreis 2010 a la mejor novela escrita por una mujer.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONShortlisted for the International Booker Prize 2022Soon to be a Netflix series.Claudia Pineiro, winning author of the Pepe Carvalho de Novela Negra 2019 Prize.A police mystery and internal conflict come together in this novel by the author of Thursday Night Widows. Soon after Rita's body is found, the investigation into her death is closed. Her mother seems to be the only one unwilling to give up on the truth, but racked by illness she is the least likely candidate to go after a murderer. A difficult trip from the suburbs to the capital, an old debt of gratitude, and a revealing conversation are the facts that are unfolded in this novel. It is an intimate, yet critical novel which holds the female body as its real protagonist as it uncovers secrets, the hidden facets of an authoritarian regime, and societys hypocrisy. This is a story that breaks through the silence and loudly ratifies the freedom to choose. In 2010 Pineiro was awarded the LiBeraturpreis Prize for the best novel written by a woman.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Por primera vez un volumen reune la historia de Espana escrita por Arturo Perez-Reverte durante mas de cuatro anos en su columna Patente de corso del XL Semanal. Un relato ameno, personal, a ratos ironico, pero siempre unico, de nuestra accidentada historia a traves de los siglos. Una obra concebida por el autor para, en palabras suyas, divertirme, releer y disfrutar; un pretexto para mirar atras desde los tiempos remotos hasta el presente, reflexionar un poco sobre ello y contarlo por escrito de una manera poco ortodoxa.A lo largo de los 91 capitulos mas el epilogo de los que consta el libro, Arturo Perez-Reverte narra los principales acontecimientos ocurridos desde los origenes de nuestra historia y hasta el final de la Transicion con una mirada subjetiva, construida con las dosis exactas de lecturas, experiencia y sentido comun. La misma mirada con que escribo novelas y articulos -dice el autor-; no la elegi yo, sino que es resultado de todas esas cosas: la vision, acida mas a menudo que dulce, de quien, como dice un personaje de una de mis novelas, sabe que ser lucido en Espana aparejo siempre mucha amargura, mucha soledad y mucha desesperanza.- Arturo Perez-ReverteENGLISH DESCRIPTIONFor the first time, one volume gathers the history of Spain as written by Arturo Perez-Reverte over the course of more than four years in his Patente de corso (Carte Blanche) column for XL Semanal. An entertaining, personal, and sometimes ironic but always unique tale of Spains turbulent history throughout the centuries. A work conceptualized by the author to, in his words, entertain me, re-read and enjoy; a pretext for looking back through time from the very beginning until the present, reflecting a little about it, and telling it in writing in an unorthodox way.Throughout the 91 chapters plus the epilogue of the book, Arturo Perez-Reverte narrates the main events from Spains origin and up through the end of the Transition with a subjective view, made up of precise measures of reading, experience, and common sense. The same view with which I write novels and articles, says the author, . I didnt choose it myself; its the result of all those things: as one of my novels characters says it, its the vision, harsh yet frequently sweet, of someone who knows that being lucid in Spain has always entailed bitterness, loneliness, and despair. -Arturo Perez-Reverte Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Tal vez no queria solamente un corazon ajeno para seguir viviendo, sino tambien un corazon ajeno para empezar una segunda vida. El sacerdote Luis Cordoba esta a la espera de un trasplante de corazon. Es un cura amable, alto, gordo, pero su mismo tamano hace que no sea facil encontrar un donante. Como los medicos le aconsejan reposo y su residencia tiene muchas escaleras, recibe hospedaje en una casa donde viven dos mujeres, una de ellas recien separada, y tres ninos. Cordoba, que es bueno y culto critico de cine y experto en opera, goza compartiendo lo que sabe con las mujeres sin esposo y los ninos sin padre. Pronto se ve envuelto y fascinado por la vida familiar y, sin pretenderlo, empieza a desempenar el papel de paterfamilias y a replantearse sus opciones de vida. Salvo mi corazon, todo esta bien es la historia de un sacerdote bondadoso inspirado en un cura real que pone a prueba sus creencias y su optimismo inquebrantable en un mundo hostil. Su crisis existencial, en medio de personajes llenos de ganas de vivir, nos muestra una vision del matrimonio como una fortaleza sitiada: los que estan dentro quieren salir, y los que estan fuera quieren entrar. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONMaybe he didnt want someone elses heart merely to keep living, but to have someone elses heart to start a second life. Priest Luis Cordoba is waiting for a heart transplant. He is a tall, fat, kind priest, but his very size makes it difficult to find a donor. Since doctors advise rest and his residence has many stairs, he is accommodated at a house where two women, one of them recently separated, and three children live. Cordoba is a good and knowledgeable man, film critic and opera expert, who enjoys sharing what he knows with the husbandless women and the fatherless children. Soon he becomes entangled and fascinated by family life, and unintentionally begins to act as paterfamilias and reconsider his options. Aside from My Heart, All Is Well is the story of a good-natured priestbased on a real clergymanthat puts his believes and his unbreakable optimism to the test in a hostile world. His existential crisis, surrounded by characters with a zest for life, shows us a vision of matrimony as a fortress under siege: those inside want out, and the ones outside want in.

Una novela emblemática, basada en testimonios reales, sobre el valor y la dignidad de las mujeres en los tiempos más difíciles de nuestra historia reciente.Un grupo de mujeres encarceladas en la madrileña prisión de Ventas, víctimas de la represión franquista, enarbola las banderas del coraje y la determinación como únicas armas posibles para enfrentarse a la humillación, la tortura y la muerte.Pocas novelas podemos calificar como imprescindibles. La voz dormida es una de ellas porque nos ayuda a profundizar en el papel que las mujeres desempeñaron durante los años más oscuros de la historia contemporánea de España.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Cada novela es un deicidio secreto, un asesinato simbolico de la realidad.Publicado a comienzos de la decada de los setenta y desaparecido de las librerias desde hace muchos anos, este ensayo, que en su origen fue la tesis que le valio a Vargas Llosa en 1971 el titulo de doctor por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, muestra la admiracion del Nobel peruano por Garcia Marquez y por su novela Cien anos de soledad. En el se analiza en profundidad la obra del autor colombiano, companero de Vargas Llosa en el boom de la literatura latinoamericana. Obsesiva; recurrente, una intencion central abraza la obra de Garcia Marquez, una ambicion unica que sus ficciones van desarrollando a saltos y retrocesos, desde perspectivas diferentes y con metodos distintos. Este denominador comun hace que sus cuentos y novelas puedan leerse como fragmentos de un vasto, disperso, pero al mismo tiempo riguroso proyecto creador, dentro del cual encuentra cada uno de ellos su plena significacion. Esta voluntad unificadora es la de edificar una realidad cerrada, un mundo autonomo. Un escritor no elige sus temas, los temas lo eligen a el. Garcia Marquez no decidio, mediante un movimiento libre de su conciencia, escribir ficciones a partir de sus recuerdos de Aracataca. Ocurrio lo contrario: sus experiencias de Aracataca lo eligieron a el como escritor. Un hombre no elige sus demonios: le ocurren ciertas cosas, algunas lo hieren tanto que lo llevan, locamente, a negar la realidad y a querer reemplazarla. Esas cosas, que estan en el origen de su vocacion, seran tambien su estimulo, sus fuentes, la materia a partir de la cual esa vocacion trabajara. No se trata de reducir el arranque y el alimento de la vocacion a una experiencia unica. Pero en el caso de Garcia Marquez la naturaleza de su obra permite afirmar que aquella experiencia, sin negar la importancia de otras, constituye el impulso principal para su tarea de creador.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONEach novel is a secret decision, a symbolic murder of reality. Published at the beginning of the seventies and then disappearing from bookstores for many years, this essay, which was originally the thesis that earned Vargas Llosa a doctorate in 1971 from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, shows the admiration the Peruvian Nobel Prize winner had for Garcia Marquez and for his novel One Hundred Years of Solitude. In it, the work of the Colombian author, Vargas Llosa's contemporary during the boom of Latin American literature, is analyzed in depth. "Obsessive; recurring, a central intention embraces the work of Garcia Marquez, a unique ambition that his novels develop in leaps and bounds, from different perspectives and with different methods. This common denominator means that his stories and novels can be read as fragments of a vast, dispersed, but at the same time rigorous creative project, within which, each one of them finds its full significance. This unifying will is to build a closed reality, an autonomous world. A writer does not choose his subjects, the subjects choose him. Garcia Marquez did not decide, through a free movement of his conscience, to write fiction based on his memories of Aracataca. The opposite happened: his experiences in Aracataca chose him as a writer. A man does not choose his "demons:" certain things happen to him, some hurt him so much that they lead him, madly, to deny reality and want to replace it. Those "things", which are at the origin of his vocation, will also be his stimulus, his sources, the material from which that vocation will work. Its not about reducing the start and nourishment of the vocation to a unique experience.

El encargo lleva el sello de su ambiguo ex-jefe Bertram Tupra, que ya, mediante un engano, habia condicionado su vida anterior.La novela, mas alla de su trama, es una profunda reflexion sobre los limites de lo que se puede hacer, sobre la mancha que casi siempre trae la evitacion del mal mayor y sobre la dificultad de determinar cual es ese mal. Con el trasfondo de episodios historicos de terrorismo, Tomas Nevinson es tambien la historia de que le sucede a quien ya le habia sucedido todo y a quien, aparentemente, nada mas podia ocurrir. Pero, mientras no terminan, todos los dias llegan#ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe final novel from Spain's most acclaimed writer, a novel about a charismatic half-Spanish, half-English man who is recruited by British intelligenceJavier Mariass best work. El PaisAfter his acclaimed Berta Isla, comes Javier Marias long-awaited new novel. It is a mesmerizing intrigue that explores the underside of "Thou shalt not kill." Two men, one in fiction and one in reality, had the opportunity to kill Hitler before he unleashed World War II. Based on this fact, Javier Marias explores the basis of "You shalt not kill." As its narrator put it, "you can see that killing is not so extreme or so difficult and unfair depending on who your target is." Tomas Nevinson, Berta Isla's husband, falls into the temptation of returning to the Secret Services. In 1997, after having been away for a while, he was assigned to go to a northwestern city in search of a suspect who participated in attacks made by the IRA and ETA ten years before. The novel is a deep reflection on the limits and restraints of what can be done, on the stain that comes with avoiding the greatest evil, and on the struggle of determining what that evil is. Against the background of historical terrorist attacks, Tomas Nevinson is also the story of what happens to someone who has already had everything happen to him, and to whom, apparently, nothing else could happen.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Inglés. Between 1920 and 1934, Gerald Brenan lived in the remote Spanish village of Yegen and South of Granada depicts his time there, vividly evoking the essence of his rural surroundings and the Spanish way of life before the Civil War. Here he portrays the landscapes, festivals and folk-lore of the Sierra Nevada, the rivalries, romances and courtship rituals, village customs, superstitions and characters. Fascinating details emerge, from cheap brothels to archaeological remains, along with visits from Brenan's friends from the Bloomsbu- ry group - Lytton Strachey and Virginia Woolf among them. Knowledg- eable, elegant and sympathetic, this is a rich account of Spain's vanished past. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
