Un gran thiller político, intimista, sentimental e social.Helena Sánchez é unha prestixiosa xornalista que acepta investigar o caso de Fernando, un condenado por agresión sexual á súa filla que sostén ser vitima dun complot argallado pola sua ex-muller e que desexa lavar a sua imaxe a traves desa reportaxe. No proceso, sairan a luz historias ocultas que quizais e mellor non saber, movendo, a traves da pescuda, a unha reflexion sobre a etica da verdade fronte a mentira e sobre a propia felicidade na vida de Helena. A investigacion xornalistica e, en realidade, o punto de partida para afondar nas vidas e relacions de duas familias marcadas non so polas particulares trastendas do amor, senon tamen pola irrupcion do totalitarismo e a extrema dereita do mesmo xeito calado e sutil en que se introduce na sociedade e na politica do noso tempo. O libro da filla e un relato profundo e inquietante en que a autora parte dun caso real de abuso no ambito familiar para obrigarnos a ollar de fronte o mello e o peor de nos como persoas e como sociedade. Unha novela que afonda no mais meserabel da condicion humana a traves dunha voz directa e desgarrada que se inmisce de modo intimo nuns personaxes cos que e imposibel non identificarse.

Henry David Thoreau reflects on life, politics, and society in these two inspiring masterworks: Walden and Civil Disobedience.In 1845, Thoreau moved to a cabin that he built with his own hands along the shores of Walden Pond in Massachusetts. Shedding the trivial ties that he felt bound much of humanity, Thoreau reaped from the land both physically and mentally, and pursued truth in the quiet of nature. In Walden, he explains how separating oneself from the world of men can truly awaken the sleeping self. Thoreau holds fast to the notion that you have not truly existed until you adopt such a lifestyleand only then can you reenter society, as an enlightened being.

Cuba, meta del XIX secolo. Una grande nave raggiunge la spiaggia di Jibacoa. La stiva non contiene merci, ma qualcosa di ben piu prezioso, e al tempo stesso assai piu a buon mercato: persone. Donne. Schiave. Prelevate dai loro villaggi in Africa con l'inganno, sono uno dei beni piu ricercati a Cuba. Nella schiera di ragazze sporche e denutrite c'e anche l'undicenne Kaweka, che finisce tra gli schiavi del potente marchese di Santadoma. Indomita e fiera, Kaweka sente dentro di se il peso di un'ingiustizia che desidera ardentemente riparare. Col passare degli anni, la causa della liberazione del suo popolo diventa persino piu importante dell'amore per Modesto, che ha conosciuto nella piantagione. Perche l'unica schiavitu a cui Kaweka e disposta a sottomettersi e la lotta per la liberta. E spinta dalla sua vocazione decide di fuggire, mentre all'orizzonte si addensa lo spettro della guerra di indipendenza di Cuba e delle prime rivolte degli schiavi... Madrid, oggi Lita ha una promettente carriera nella prestigiosa banca dei marchesi di Santadoma, i quali stanno cercando di mettere a punto una lucrosa vendita del proprio istituto a un gruppo finanziario americano. Ma Lita non e solo una giovane donna in carriera nel difficile mondo della finanza: e la figlia di una domestica di casa Santadoma, e nella lotta per farsi valere porta su di se anche il peso del riscatto dalle umili origini e del colore della propria pelle. Un'inattesa visita a Cuba la avvicina non solo alle sue radici, ma anche a una sconvolgente rivelazione sulla storia della propria famiglia. Una rivelazione che la riconnette a un mondo potente e ancestrale, mentre affiorano verita sempre piu inquietanti sull'origine dell'immensa fortuna dei marchesi... Un romanzo che attraverso i secoli e le generazioni racconta la straordinaria epopea di due donne coraggiose, legate dal sangue e da un ideale, alla ricerca di giustizia e liberta e disposte a combattere fino alla fine pur di ottenerle.
