Shirley Jackson's masterpiece: the deliciously dark and funny story of Merricat, tomboy teenager, beloved sister - and possible lunatic. 'Her greatest book ... at once whimsical and harrowing, a miniaturist's charmingly detailed fantasy sketched inside a mausoleum ... Through depths and depths and bloodwarm depths we fall, until the surface is only an eerie gleam high above, nearly forgotten; and the deeper we sink, the deeper we want to go' Donna Tartt, author of The Goldfinch Living in the Blackwood family home with only her sister Constance and her Uncle Julian for company, Merricat just wants to preserve their delicate way of life. But ever since Constance was acquitted of murdering the rest of the family, the world isn't leaving the Blackwoods alone. And when Cousin Charles arrives, armed with overtures of friendship and a desperate need to get into the safe, Merricat must do everything in her power to protect the remaining family. This Penguin edition includes an afterword by the acclaimed novelist Joyce Carol Oates. All Shirley Jackson's other novels, plus The Lottery and Other Stories, are available in Penguin Modern Classics. Shirley Jackson was born in California in 1916. When her short story The Lotterywas first published in The New Yorker in 1948, readers were so horrified they sent her hate mail; it has since become one of the most iconic American stories of all time. Her first novel, The Road Through the Wall, was published in the same year and was followed by five more: Hangsaman, The Bird's Nest, The Sundial,The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, widely seen as her masterpiece. In addition to her dark, brilliant novels, she wrote lightly fictionalized magazine pieces about family life with her four children and her husband, the critic Stanley Edgar Hyman. Shirley Jackson died in her sleep in 1965 at the age of 48. 'The world of Shirley Jackson is eerie and unforgettable ... She is a true master' A. M. Homes 'A masterpiece of Gothic suspense' Joyce Carol Oates 'If you haven't read We Have Always Lived in the Castle ... you have missed out on something marvellous' Neil Gaiman

Una novel·la que ens submergeix en la complexitat de les relacions humanes i el desafiament de trobar el nostre lloc al món. El Lluís es retroba al cap dels anys amb la Cristina, el seu amor adolescent no confessat. Esta casat pero tornar-la a veure li fa reviure l'entusiasme perdut. La Laia, una model catalana que fa anys que fa carrera a Nova York, comença a estar cansada de la seva professio, i el que es mes greu, ara troba a faltar casa seva. El pare del Jaume era barber i, des que ha mort, no sap a quina perruqueria anar; sent que si es deixa tallar els cabells per algu altre, seria infidel al seu pare. El Lluis, la Laia, el Jaume, la Cristina, el Miquel, el Sergi... son personatges que estimen, que se senten fragils, que cerquen la seva identitat i la felicitat en un mon canviant. Diuen que no pots enyorar el que no has tingut, pero si el que has perdut. Prefereixo la seguretat de ser estimat que la incertesa de ser qui estima.

'No sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she had hardly a good feature in her face, than he began to find it was rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes ... 'When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.

Unha novela que reescribe o mito cunha ollada contemporánea Logo do Ano Cunqueiro, Begoña Caamaño consegue propoñer unha ollada diferente sobre o mundo artúrico e a Terra de Miranda. Son os remorsos e as culpas sentimentos que nos acompañan toda a vida? Temos acaso dereito a esquecer os danos causados polas nosas decisions? Con preguntas semellantes, a chegada de Morgana racha a aparente serenidade coa que Merlin vive na fraga de Esmelle. Na novela de Begoña Caamaño, a medio irma e amante de Artur entra na casa de Miranda en procura de respostas a sua infelicidade. Coa sua dor e coas lembranzas de Merlin vaise tecendo o fio da memoria ata descubrir as razons ultimas da ruina de Avalon e da caida de Camelot. Morgana en Esmelle e unha reflexion en torno a responsabilidade de asumir as consecuencias non desexadas de cada un dos nosos actos. Un debate sobre a necesidade de adoptar compromisos incomodos e implicarse nos momentos historicos. Sacrificada na loita entre duas concepcions do mundo, Morgana interroganos sobre a lexitimidade das nosas razons; mais, acaso a sua condicion de vitima faina mais inocente?

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.

ZANDERSChicago hockey isnt complete without me everyones favourite player to hate. I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night.What I dont like is the new flight attendant on our teams private plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But Ill be sure to remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season, shell be begging to quit her job.But every road trip blurs the lines, and I cant quite figure out if I keep pushing that flight attendant call button in order to push her buttons, or if its more than that.STEVIEIve been a flight attendant for years. I thought Id seen it all, but when my new job lands me onboard working for the most egotistical and self-righteous diva in the NHL, I start to second guess everything. Including the promise I made to myself of never hooking up with an athlete again . . . no matter how annoyingly tempting he may be.Evan Zanders is unfiltered, unapologetic, and too attractive for his own good. He loves his image, but I hate everything about it.Everything but him.
