Tan salvajemente divertido y conmovedor como la vida de cualquier veinteañero que crece navegando entre desengaños amorosos y relaciones desastrosas. La periodista Dolly Alderton se propuso dar cuenta de sus locos veinte años en este divertido libro trufado de amores y desamores, relaciones intensas por Messenger que fracasan en el cara a cara, trabajos precarios y amigos que siempre estan ahi. Un novio que acaba saliendo del armario, borracheras que te llevan a cruzar el pais en taxis que no puedes pagar, chicos sin redes sociales que se creen Sartre, escenas todas ellas de nuestra lucha por entender que el amor mas intenso e importante es el que sentimos por nuestros amigos y nosotros mismos. Casi todo lo que se sobre el amor lo he aprendido charlando con mis amigas de toda la vida. He aprendido que el amor es jubilo desenfrenado, bailar borracha sobre el fango de un festival de musica, los cruces de miradas en un autobus nocturno, los polvos de una noche. Pero tambien he aprendido que el amor no son las relaciones tediosas, ni las horas de obsesivo seguimiento en Instagram al chico que te gusta, ni los orgasmos fingidos.No queria que acabara nunca, Marian KeyesN.º1 en Reino Unido.

"Ahí estábamos, como hormigas en sus cubículos, trajinando los pasillos, fumando, escribiendo, seduciéndonos, odiándonos, benditos y malditos todos nosotros, los periodistas, esas causas perdidas que dan alimento a gente como Robinson."

Sus historias despliegan un entramado de vida cotidiana y situaciones personales que se suceden en un ida y vuelta del presente al pasado. Mientras avanza en la investigacion del caso Galarraga, Andres vive un amor intenso con Blanca Luz, a la que conoce en una pileta popular y que lo inicia en el extraño deporte del "triping".

Henning Mankell described The Serious Game as one of Swedens lost classics. Soderberg wrote a contemporary novel. He wants the reader to look upon that time and to understand that love is not a secluded island, it is always affected by the big world; by society; politics, disasters and scandals. Arvid, an educated and ambitious young man, meets Lydia, the daughter of a landscape painter; it is summer, they are young, and they fall in love. Lydia, however, has other suitors, and Arvid is frightened of being tied to her, afraid of his emotions. Instead, they part and both conduct marriages of convenience. Years later, trapped inside loveless marriages, the two struggle to rekindle the passion and promise of their early relationship, but with bitter and tragic results. A work of tremendous insight, tenderness and gentle irony.

At thirty-five Mary Agreda began her Mystical City of God, which was the fruit of her daily meditations and rapt states of contemplation. When this work appeared it was hailed with almost unanimous applause by the bishops of Spain. The Spanish Inquisition, always rigid in its censorship, regarded it as almost, if not wholly, of divine revelation. The Sorbonne at Paris held thirty-two stances, in which five hundred and fifty doctors discussed its merits, but finally condemned it with true national hostility to Spain. At Rome it was indeed placed on the Index, but was removed shortly after by command of the pope himself, some say at the solicitation of the King of Spain. Though no formal approbation has ever been given to the work, Pope Alexander VIII. authorized its circulation, and Clement IX. forbade its being placed on the Index. Its discussion, however, has delayed the process for the canonization of its author, though no one ever doubted her sincerity, her earnest convictions, and the saintliness of her character. In it she displays a mind thoroughly imbued with the religious spirit, and, though without education, strictly speaking, shows a knowledge of Scripture, a depth of theological learning, and a correctness of scholastic terms that are truly surprising. The style is dignified, and yet easy; and some of her descriptions have a certain grandeur, as in the Passion, where Satan and his angels are represented as following Christ to Mount Calvary bound in chains, forced to become witnesses of his sufferings and death, and smitten to the ground at the moment of the Consummatum est. This is volume three out of four.

Following the death of her husband Sir Florian, beautiful Lizzie Eustace mysteriously comes into possession of a hugely expensive diamond necklace. She maintains it was a gift from her husband, but the Eustace lawyers insist she give it up, and while her cousin Frank takes her side, her new lover Lord Fawn states that he will only marry her if the necklace is surrendered. As gossip and scandal intensify, Lizzies truthfulness is thrown into doubt, and, in her desire to keep the jewels, she is driven to increasingly desperate acts. The third in Trollopes Palliser series, The Eustace Diamonds bears all the hallmarks of his later works, blending dark cynicism with humour and a keen perception of human nature.

Celestine becomes as corrupt as the men who uses her in this satire of French society. The Diary of a Chambermaid was written as a satire of Parisian society in the wake of the Dreyfus Affair. Mirbeau brings a journalists analytical eye to Celestines adventures as she loses her innocence and becomes as corrupt and depraved as the men who exploited her. Since its publication in 1900 it has never ceased to shock and fascinate its readers and has been made into a film by Jean Renoir in 1946 and Luis Bunuel in 1964.
