Un maravilloso regalo inesperado para los innumerables lectores de García Márquez. «En agosto nos vemos es también otra prueba irrefutable de su talento, dedicación y amor por la literatura.Es una obra imprescindible. El broche final a una carrera y una vida únicas».Juan Cruz, El Periódico Cada mes de agosto Ana Magdalena Bach toma el transbordador hasta la isla donde está enterrada su madre para visitar la tumba en la que yace. Esas visitas acaban suponiendo una irresistible invitación a convertirse en una personadistinta durante una noche al año. Escrita en el inconfundible y fascinante estilo de García Márquez, En agosto nos vemos es un canto a la vida, a la resistencia del goce pese al paso del tiempo y al deseo femenino. Un regalo inesperado para los innumerables lectores del Nobel colombiano.«De muy pocos escritores se puede decir que han escrito libros que han cambiado el curso de la literatura. Gabriel García Márquez lo hizo».The Guardian «Ningún escritor desde Dickens ha sido tan leído y tan profundamente querido como Gabriel García Márquez».Salman Rushdie «Uno de los más grandes y visionarios escritores y uno de mis favoritos desde que era joven».Barack Obama«La prosa envolvente de indiscutible originalidad con que García Márquez nos hace saborear cuanto toca. Objetos, animales, atmósferas caribeñas, hoteles isleños de burguesía ociosa, encuentros amorosos dichos y recreados con la plasticidad envolvente de la metáfora brillante, [...], hace que la novela sea al mismo tiempo una exaltación de la vida, y una fiesta reivindicativa de la libertad femenina».José María Pozuelo Yvancos, ABC«Gabo quiere llegar al alma de una mujer, que quizá no sabía que andaba a la deriva, en un libro que tiene el barniz y el brillo de su prosa envolvente de gran narrador que, en el fondo, era un inmenso poeta que nos hacía y nos hace volar con las palabras».Antón Castro, Heraldo de Aragón«Aq uí, el personaje es una mujer empoderada, fuerte, madura, que toma decisiones sobre su sexualidad. Ana Magdalena Bach ?primera protagonista femenina exclusiva de una novela de García Márquez? es el único eje del libro».Xavi Ayén, La Vanguardia «García Márquez resucita con una novela erótica y feminista».Bruno Pardo, ABC«Pese a la enfermedad, García Márquez despliega esa fabulosa capacidad que tiene de usar el lenguaje para sorprendernos, de inventar metáforas, crear asociaciones entre palabras que nadie antes había pensado. En agosto nos vemos es también otra prueba irrefutable de su talento, dedicación y amor por la literatura. Es una obra imprescindible. El broche final a una carrera y una vida únicas».Álvaro Santana Acuña, El Periódico

In this book Clarice Lispector aims to 'capture the present'. Her direct, confessional and unfiltered meditations on everything from life and time to perfume and sleep are strange and hypnotic in their emotional power and have been a huge influence on many artists and writers, including one Brazilian musician who read it one hundred and eleven times.

Winner of the Reddit Fantasy Award for Best Debut 2018 'The best fantasy debut of 2018' - WIRED From the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Babel and Yellowface comes an all-new, fully illustrated, collector's edition of R. F. Kuang's debut novel, The Poppy War. Considered one of Time Magazine's 100 Best Fantasy Books of All Time, the story of orphaned Rin's rise to power gets a fresh look with black-and-white interior art by JungShan Chang throughout. A brilliantly imaginative epic fantasy debut, inspired by the bloody history of China's twentieth century and filled with treachery and magic. When Rin aced the Keju - the test to find the most talented students in the Empire - it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn't believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without cheating; to Rin's guardians, who had hoped to get rich by marrying her off; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free from a life of servitude. That she got into Sinegard - the most elite military school in Nikan - was even more surprising. But surprises aren't always good. Because being a dark-skinned peasant girl from the south is not an easy thing at Sinegard. Fighting the prejudice of rival classmates, Rin discovers that she possesses a lethal, unearthly power - an aptitude for the nearly-mythical art of shamanism. Exploring the depths of her gift with the help of psychoactive substances and a seemingly insane teacher, Rin learns that gods long thought dead are very much alive - and that mastering these powers could mean more than just surviving school. For while the Nikara Empire is at peace, the Federation of Mugen still lurks across a narrow sea. The Federation occupied Nikan for decades after the First Poppy War, and only barely lost the continent in the Second. And while most people calmly go about their lives, a few are aware that a Third Poppy War is just a spark away...

Jean-Baptiste Clamence is a soul in turmoil. Over several drunken nights he regales a chance acquaintance with his story. From this successful former lawyer and seemingly model citizen a compelling, self-loathing catalogue of guilt, hypocrisy and alienation pours forth. The Fall (1956) is a brilliant portrayal of a man who has glimpsed the hollowness of his existence. But beyond depicting one man’s disillusionment, Camus’s novel exposes the universal human condition and its absurdities - and our innocence that, once lost, can never be recaptured …
