Matt Haig sostiene que es este mundo nervioso y rápido en el que vivimos el que crea individuos nerviosos, al límite. Estamos más conectados que nunca y sin embargo nunca hemos estado más solos. Esta aceleracion se traduce ademas en un bombardeo informativo que nos exige estar al tanto de las noticias que se suceden, sin tiempo para reflexionar ni resetear nuestras mentes. Si el sistema parece diseñado para hacernos infelices, hay algo que podamos hacer al respecto? ¿Se pueden reorganizar las prioridades? Haig parte de su propia experiencia para explicarnos como podemos defendernos, rehumanizarnos y cambiar para siempre el modo en el que invertimos nuestro valioso tiempo en el planeta.

Der groe Bestseller endlich als Taschenbuch! Ein kluges Buch, das die Sicht auf die eigenen Grenzen verandern kann. FreundinKlug, emotional und bittersu: Die Mitternachtsbibliothek ist eine wunderbare Hymne auf das LebenStell dir vor, auf dem Weg ins Jenseits gabe es eine riesige Bibliothek, gefullt mit all den Leben, die du hattest fuhren konnen. Alles, was du jemals bereut hast, konntest du ungeschehen machen. Genau dort findet sich Nora Seed wieder, nachdem sie aus lauter Verzweiflung beschlossen hat, sich das Leben zu nehmen. An diesem Ort zwischen Raum und Zeit, an dem die Uhrzeiger immer auf Mitternacht stehen, hat sie plotzlich die Moglichkeit, all das zu andern, was sie aus der Bahn geworfen hat. Aber kann man in einem anderen Leben glucklich werden, wenn man wei, dass es nicht das eigene ist?

Un libro que no debería existir. Con sólo 24 años Matt Haig es invadido por una enfermedad que amenaza su vida, de la que previamente sabía muy poco: una depresión severa. Literal y físicamente lo lleva al borde del abismo. Este libro describe como conquisto poco a poco la enfermedad devastadora y poco a poco encuentra su camino de regreso a la vida. Un canto divertido, conmovedor despertar a la vida y a la condicion humana. "Escribi este libro porque en ultima instancia hay algo de verdad en el viejo cliche: El tiempo cura todas las heridas, y hay una luz al final del tunel, aunque no podemos verlo en un primer momento.

Upset elves, reindeers dropping out of the sky, angry trolls and the chance that Christmas might be cancelled. But Amelia isn't just any ordinary girl. And - as Father Christmas is going to find out - if Christmas is going to be saved, he might not be able to do it alone ...

An exciting childrens tale of espionage and revolution from the author of The Secret Garden and A Little Princess. From the author of A Little Princess and The Secret Garden comes a masterful adventure that will capture the imagination: a tale of destiny, revolution, family and friendship. Twelve-year-old Marco and his father, Stefan, are exiled citizens of the impoverished Eastern European nation of Samavia. They live in London, where Stefan often receives mysterious visitors and where Marco befriends a street urchin known only as Rat. Stefan decides to send the pair on a secret mission in Europe, carrying a coded message to fellow Samavian patriots across the continent. On their arrival in Europe, it quickly becomes clear that Marco and Rat might not know the whole story; everywhere they go, Samavian exiles show Marco particular attention, but it is not until their return to London that the magnitude of the secret hidden within him becomes clear. Burnetts evocation of early twentieth-century Europe is masterful, and her imaginative tale of political intrigue and family destiny will appeal to readers of all ages.

'I am old. That is the first thing to tell you. The thing you are least likely to believe. If you saw me you would probably think I was about forty, but you would be very wrong.'

Always changing his identity to stay alive, Tom has the perfect cover - working as a history teacher at a London comprehensive.

The only thing Tom mustn't do is fall in love. How to Stop Time is a wild and bittersweet story about losing and finding yourself, about the certainty of change and about the lifetimes it can take to really learn how to live
