Hamabi urte igaro dira Mahamoud Touré Bilboko Afrika Txikira heldu zenetik, familia Burkina Fason utzita eta amets berrien alde borrokatzeko prest. Horretarako Saharako basamortua zeharkatu behar izan zuen, eta Gibraltarko itsasartea igaro. Baina denboraren poderioz, emaztea eta seme-alabak, etorkizun oparoko promesa hutsalez nazkaturik, ahaztu egin ziren Tourez, eta burkinarra zurrunbilo iraunkor batean sartu zen non ilunak askoz gehiago diren argiak baino. Aurreko nobelan Las Palmasen egon ondoren, oraingo honetan patuak Bartzelonara darama Toure. Hor, denbora soberan izango du ihesaldi etengabea bilakatu zaion bizitzaz hausnartzeko, bizi izandako esperientzia gogorrak eta egindako okerrak mamurtzeko, eta inoiz baino astunago sentituko du bakardadearen pisua. Bere lagun leial Osman, Xihab eta Kristina (Sa Kene) jada ez dauzka ondoan, eta inoiz imajinatuko ez zituen gauzak egin beharko ditu bizirik irauteko, degradazio-maila beherenera iristeraino. Jon Arretxek argazki gordina eskaintzen digu Zenbaki gorriaken Bartzelonako turismo-leku ederren azpian gordetzen den errealitatearena, eta agerian uzten digu paperik gabeko etorkinek, etxebakoek, txiroenek... non bilatzen duten babesa. Eleberri bizigarri bezain gogorra da Toureren hamaikagarrena, estilo zintzokoa, sagako besteetan bezala Europa diruduneko baztertuen azpi mundua erakusten duena.

Amb estudi introductori, comentaris de text i propostes didactiques de Joan Martori.Amb Pilar Prim, Oller, en plena maduresa com a novel·lista, afronta el tema del desig de la dona, un assumpte que la literatura del XIX havia tractat des d'una perspectiva merament romantica. En aquesta obra, pero, trobem un nou enfocament que serveix per remarcar els condicionaments i les sancions legals i morals que el context social de començament del segle XX imposava a la dona. Un altre element rebla la condicio de modernitat de l'obra: amb l'afany d'incorporar-se al model de novel·la que apliquen els narradors del moment, el tractament que fa Oller dels personatges prefigura el desenvolupament posterior de la novel·la psicologica.

The Diamond Death walks alongside me, But the reaper is no match for me. I''m trapped in a world full of monsters dressed as men, and those who aren''t as they seem. They won''t keep me forever. I no longer recognize the person I''ve become, And I''m fighting to find my way back to the beast who hunts me in the night. They call me a diamond, But they''ve only created an angel of death. The Hunter I was born a predator, With ruthlessness ingrained in my bones. When what''s mine is stolen from me in the night, Like a diamond hidden within a fortress, I find that I can no longer contain the beast. Blood will paint the ground as I tear apart this world to find her. And bring her back to where she belongs. No one will escape my wrath, Especially not those who have betrayed me.

Amb aquest obra Oller obre la literatura catalana del segle XIX envers la novel·la.Narcís Oller ( 1846-1930 ) va donar unes quantes obres mestres a la literatura catalana, després de segles que no passava. Es l'escriptor que posa al dia la nostra novel·la, empeltant-la dels corrents narratius mes avançats del moment, sota el mestratge del realisme i el naturalisme francesos. La Papallona ( 1882 ) va ser un exit internacional, i amb L'Escanyapobres ( 1884 ) va reixir a treure's de sobre el llast del romanticisme. A La febre d'or ( 1890-2 ) va descriure la burgesia barcelonina, a La bogeria ( 1898 ) va tocar el tema naturalista del determinisme hereditari i a Pilar Prim ( 1906 ) fa un pas cap a la novel·la psicologica. Oller tambe va escriure diversos reculls de contes i unes Memories literaries ( 1962, postumes ).

Crónica emocional d'un mundu que desapaez, Hestoria universal de Paniceiros traza caminos que parten de la memoria y lleguen a los lugares más insospechaos. Paniceiros, Nueva York, Coimbra, Tánxer...son los nomes distintos colos que nomamos la mesma cosa, igual que la literatura ye l'alfabetu secretu pa conxurar tolos mieos. Mediante una escritura enllena de resonancies y al empar netamente personal, Xuan Bello crea un espaciu lliterariu propiu del que'l llector s'apropia cuasi ensin decatase: esti llibru, que fala de cualquiera, fala sobre too de nós, de toos nós

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.The animals at Manor Farm have had enough of Farmer Jones hes drunk, hes reckless and he cares little for the welfare of his animals. When Old Major, the old boar, calls a meeting, the animals are enthralled by his revolutionary plans, convinced that with the despot Jones overthrown, they can thrive on their own.However, soon after the farmer is banished from Manor Farm, the pigs begin to vie for control amongst themselves; the promised comforts never appear, no matter how hard they work; and their leaders begin to bear an uncanny resemblance to the very men they said they despisedGeorge Orwells renowned fable became an instant success on publication after the Second World War.

''If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human faceforever.''Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), George Orwell''s final novel, was completed in difficult conditions shortly before his early death. It is one of the most influential and widely-read novels of the post-war period, and has been a huge international bestseller over many decades. Continually in print, it has long been controversial, both in its immediate Cold War context and in later history.It is in some ways a realist novel, but in others is more akin to a work of science fiction, a dystopia or a satire. It also has strong affiliations to Gothic in its plotting, motifs and affective states. Full of horror and terror, it contains prophetic dreams and a central character who thinks of himself as a ''monster'', a ''ghost'' and ''already dead''. Like Frankenstein and Dracula, it is fascinated by the power of a documentary remnant addressed to an unknown reader.

A haunting, heartbreaking post-apocalyptic tale of female friendship and intimacy.'A small miracle' The New York TimesFor a very long time, the days went by, each just like the day before, then I began to think, and everything changedDeep underground, thirty-nine women live imprisoned in a cage.

Es la historia de una familia más o menos normal. Ya dijo un escritor famoso que las familias, de lejos, parecen de lejos todas normales, pero te acercas y se oye el mecanismo de relojería. La niña se llama Nora, y el nombre ya indica que va buscando algo, se pregunta adonde va; la madre, Sorkunde, es dietista y catequista; y el padre, Teodoro, es electricista, pero con ambiciones de ingeniero. Los dos temas del comic son la familia y la adolescencia. Al final, he querido interpelar a los posibles lectores con esa pregunta de Nora: ¿A donde voy, que hago aqui? Y tambien planteo la pregunta: ¿Por que has decidido tener hijos? Normalmente, se responde mal, o al menos las respuestas que yo he visto no me han satisfecho. Ademas, yo queria añadir otra pregunta: ¿Por que has decidido ser hijo o hija, por que vives en este mundo? Y todo eso, siempre desde el humor.

"Riveting, heart-wrenching, and full of Old Hollywood glamour, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is one of the most captivating reads of 2017." -BuzzFeed"The epic adventures Evelyn creates over the course of a lifetime will leave every reader mesmerized. This wildly addictive journey of a reclusive Hollywood starlet and her tumultuous Tinseltown journey comes with unexpected twists and the most satisfying of drama." -PopSugarFrom the author of Daisy Jones & The Six-an entrancing novel "that speaks to the Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor in us all" (Kirkus Reviews), in which a legendary film actress reflects on her relentless rise to the top and the risks she took, the loves she lost, and the long-held secrets the public could never imagine.Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, no one is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her? Why now?Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere. Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career.Summoned to Evelyn's luxurious apartment, Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the '80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way, Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love. Monique begins to feel a very real connection to the legendary star, but as Evelyn's story near its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique's own in tragic and irreversible ways."Heartbreaking, yet beautiful" (Jamie Blynn, Us Weekly), The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is "Tinseltown drama at its finest" (Redbook): a mesmerizing journey through the splendor of old Hollywood into the harsh realities of the present day as two women struggle with what it means-and what it costs-to face the truth.

This is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family's history that began before he was born. It tells of Vietnam, of the lasting impact of war, and of his family's struggle to forge a new future.

Over the Grass is the title poem of the book and the first poem I wrote of many. Some of which came to me in their entirety, which I dictated and then typed out, and some that I worked laboriously picking apart each word to make the perfect poem. They are eclectic and honest and not trying to be anything other than what they are and for that reason I'm proud of them, especially because the spirit in which they were written was very authentic. Lana Del Rey Lana's breathtaking first book solidifies her further as 'the essential writer of her times' (The Atlantic). The collection features more than thirty poems, many exclusive to the book: Never to Heaven, The Land of 1,000 Fires, Past the Bushes Cypress Thriving, LA Who Am I to Love You?, Tessa DiPietro, Happy, Paradise Is Very Fragile, Bare Feet on Linoleum and many more. This beautiful hardcover edition showcases Lana's typewritten manuscript pages alongside her original photography. The result is an extraordinary poetic landscape that reflects the unguarded spirit of its creator.

A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the thirties.
