Imagine as a woman losing all your property to your husband. Sadly, such was the law for much of the Victorian times. Wilkie Collinss novel "The Woman in White" (starring Charles Dance in a recent BBC adaptation) first explored this absurdity. Now expanding on marriage law, Collins writes a protest for womens rights in "Man and Wife". Two young women, Anne and Blanche, live together in Scotland after Annes father abandoned her due to a legal loophole. Both women are engaged but Annes fiance, Geoffrey, is getting cold feet. Yet Anne knows a trick from the Scottish law books: if a man is witnessed to verbally declare a woman his wife, they are legally married.Meanwhile, Blanches fiance, Arnold, is sent on Geoffreys behalf to meet Anne. Under guise, Arnold publicly asks for his "wife", and accidentally potentially marries Anne. A fascinating tale of a wifes rights, this thriller will make you question the true impact of a marriage proposal.

Joaquin Phoenix won an Oscar for playing the Joker, capturing the psychologically dark personality of a villain. Critics were stunned just as how the villainous character of Lydia Gwilt in "Armadale" stunned critics of the time. "Armadale" might give us the Victorian answer to the Joker, but its not only a psychological thriller. This novel is also a feat of classic Victorian themes of the supernatural, detectives, and romance.Inheriting his mothers family estate in Norfolk, Allan Armadale is brought into contact with the spine-chilling Lydia who is jealous of his love interest. Meanwhile, Allans friend, Ozias Midwinter, receives a letter written years before by a man on his deathbed also named Allan Armadale. The letter reveals a shocking secret that connects the past of Allan and Ozias.Discovering this secret, Lydia "the Joker" Gwilt uses it to plot against Allan in a dramatic tale of stolen identity and family inheritance.

A partir del enfrentamiento entre Personaje Iseka (el protagonista de esta novela) y unos hermanos sorias, con los que comparte habitacion en un apartamento en la frontera entre Soria y Tecnocracia, se despliega un universo distopico en el que estos tres paises se enfrentan entre si mediante todo tipo de armas surrealistas, jugando con humor negro y absurdo sobre politica, religion, guerra, historia, sexo, astrologia, magia, ciencia y tecnologia. Una novela monumental de realismo delirante escrita durante diez años y que nunca antes nadie se atrevio a publicar en Soria (España).

Los aliados han liberado Francia, y las tropas alemanas en retirada conducen a un numeroso grupo de colaboracionistas del gobierno de Vichy al castillo de Sigmaringen. Éste es el punto de partida de De un castillo a otro: mas de mil personas angustiadas, sin norte ni futuro, se hacinan en un castillo laberintico. Pero los castillos de Celine son realmente dolorosos, agitados por los espectros de la guerra, el odio y la miseria. Transparente en su autobiografia, casi a caballo entre la novela y la confesion, con aguda ironia y punzante humor, Celine nos describe a los alemanes en panico, a una Europa que retumba, a los ministros de Vichy sin ministerio y al mariscal a punto de entrar en el Tribunal Supremo.Con su prosa arrolladora y sincopada, en completo desorden pero con vivida clarividencia, Celine nos narra como nadie el caos la derrota, los excesos y las miserias de la condicion humana. Asi, este De un castillo a otro, primer volumen de lo que el propio autor concibio como una historia magna, la Trilogia del Norte, es uno de sus libros mas demoledores, y bien habria podido titularla "el final de la noche", porque es una novela que nos interpela, nos sacude, nos golpea. Una literatura radical que se escribe con las visceras.

The book delves deep into what the Bible has to say, and presents in a clear way its relevance and even its necessity in todays chaotic world.
