Sicarias o universitarias, influencers o amas de casa, beatas o prostitutas: mujeres decididas a pelear antes que ser víctimasLas heroínas de Perras de reserva son mujeres fuertes, decididas a resolver por sí mismas sus problemas porque saben que si con algo no pueden contar es con la ayuda de Dios. Como mucho, se encomiendan al Diablo, ya que ante la perspectiva de convertirse en víctimas ?usadas, explotadas o muertas? prefieren optar por la sangre ajena. Como Yuliana, la macabramente entrañable heredera al trono de un capo del narcotráfico, que no va a aceptar que sus compa.eras de escuela se burlen de su look. O la adolescente que antes de dejarse arrinconar por la pobreza y el hambre se vuelve una malandrina de calle con principios, que solo desvalija a gente bien. O la bruja que recurre al Señor de las Tinieblas para que le ayude con la vecina cuyos perros hacen sus necesidades en su patio.Sean sicarias o universitarias, influencers o amas de casa, beatas o prostitutas, las memorables protagonistas de estos relatos comparten las dificultades y los peligros derivados de haber nacido mujer, y los enfrentan con los recursos que la vida les ofrece, obligadas una y otra vez a dirimir dónde se sitúa la frontera entre el bien y el mal. Y nos cuentan sus vidas siempre en primera persona, haciéndonos parte íntima de su forma de habitar el mundo. Con un talento desbordante para reflejar el habla de la calle y no pocas dosis de humor negro, la autora mexicana Dahlia de la Cerda nos recuerda en este genial libro que «la vida es una perra, por eso hay que patearle la jaula».«Este libro tiene la fuerza de una barranquera de agua: arrastra, ensucia y limpia a partes iguales».br>Andrea Abreu«Un pequeño monumento a la literatura transgresora, dura ysuave, romántica y dolorosa. Una concatenación narrativa deliciosa, donde lo popular, superfluo y banal se convierte en trascendente, en dolorosa crítica social».br> Gerardo Lima Molina, Tierra Adentro

* SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2024 BOOKER PRIZE * Longlisted for the 2025 Aspen Words Literary Prize - A Best Book of 2024: The New York Times, The Washington Post, Time, The Globe and Mail (Toronto), Kirkus Reviews, BookPage, The Sunday Times (London) "Remarkable...Compelling...Fine and taut...Indelible." -The New York Times - "Moving, unnerving, and deeply sexy." -Tracy Chevalier, author of Girl with the Pearl Earring - "A brilliant debut, as multi-faceted as a gem." -Kirkus Reviews A "razor-sharp, perfectly plotted" (The Sunday Times, London) tale of desire, suspicion, and obsession between two women staying in the same house in the Dutch countryside during the summer of 1961-a powerful exploration of the legacy of WWII and the darker parts of our collective past.A house is a precious thing... It is 1961 and the rural Dutch province of Overijssel is quiet. Bomb craters have been filled, buildings reconstructed, and the war is truly over. Living alone in her late mother's country home, Isabel knows her life is as it should be-led by routine and discipline. But all is upended when her brother Louis brings his graceless new girlfriend Eva, leaving her at Isabel's doorstep as a guest, to stay for the season. Eva is Isabel's antithesis: she sleeps late, walks loudly through the house, and touches things she shouldn't. In response, Isabel develops a fury-fueled obsession, and when things start disappearing around the house-a spoon, a knife, a bowl-Isabel's suspicions begin to spiral. In the sweltering peak of summer, Isabel's paranoia gives way to infatuation, leading to a discovery that unravels all Isabel has ever known. The war might not be well and truly over after all, and neither Eva-nor the house in which they live-are what they seem. Mysterious, sophisticated, sensual, and infused with intrigue, atmosphere, and sex, The Safekeep is "a brave and thrilling debut about facing up to the truth of history, and to one's own desires" (The Guardian).

Zwei gegensätzliche Erzählungen Thomas Manns fasst dieser Band zusammen: Tonio Kröger , eine "Prosa-Ballade" aus dem Jahre 1903, die die "intellektuelle und radikale Jugend, die den Radikalismus damals freilich noch nicht politisch meinte", als "ihr gemäß" "ergriff", und Mario und der Zauberer aus dem Jahre 1930, "eine stark ins Politische hinüberspielende Geschichte, die mit der Psychologie des Faschismus - und derjenigen der Freiheit , ihrer Willenslehre, die sie gegen den robusten Willen des Gegners so sehr in Nachteil setzt, innerlich beschäftigt ist". Damit ist Möglichkeit gegeben, sich beispielhaft mit dem Phänomen Literatur auseinanderzusetzen und zu erkennen, daß nicht die äußere Handlung, sondern Ansatz, Entwicklung und Durchführung eines Themas - bei Thomas Mann fast immer durch persönliche Distanz und vor allem durch skeptische Ironie geprägt - entscheidende Kriterien zu ihrer Interpretation sind.

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!"A steamy game of cat and mouse between witch and witch-hunter, played out against a backdrop of opulence, secrets, and bloody history. I couldn't look away." - Kendare Blake, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Champion of FateEnemies-to-lovers doesn't get more high stakes than a witch and a witch hunter falling in love in bestselling author Kristen Ciccarelli's latest romantic fantasy.On the night Rune's life changed forever, blood ran in the streets. Now, in the aftermath of a devastating revolution, witches have been diminished from powerful rulers to outcasts ruthlessly hunted due to their waning magic, and Rune must hide what she is.Spending her days pretending to be nothing more than a vapid young socialite, Rune spends her nights as the Crimson Moth, a witch vigilante who rescues her kind from being purged. When a rescue goes wrong, she decides to throw the witch hunters off her scent and gain the intel she desperately needs by courting the handsome Gideon Sharpe - a notorious and unforgiving witch hunter loyal to the revolution - who she can't help but find herself falling for.Gideon loathes the decadence and superficiality Rune represents, but when he learns the Crimson Moth has been using Rune's merchant ships to smuggle renegade witches out of the republic, he inserts himself into her social circles by pretending to court her right back. He soon realizes that beneath her beauty and shallow façade, is someone fiercely intelligent and tender who feels like his perfect match. Except, what if she's the very villain he's been hunting?Kristen Ciccarelli's Heartless Hunter is the thrilling start to The Crimson Moth duology, a romantic fantasy series where the only thing more treacherous than being a witch...is falling in love."Enchanting and deeply romantic, Heartless Hunter drew me in with the first sentence and left me breathless by the last. A story that unfolds like a spell, and one that is destined to capture your heart." - Rebecca Ross, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divine Rivals
THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING CONCLUSION TO THE EPIC AND ROMANTIC CRIMSON MOTH DUOLOGY!"A searing and breathtaking tale full of heartache and yearning, thanks to Rune and Gideon’s sizzling chemistry as they try to survive a world where magic and their lives are on the line, and no one is safe. I was enthralled from the first page." - Isabel Ibañez, #1 New York Times bestselling authorA WITCH...Rune Winters is on the run. Ever since the boy she loved, Gideon Sharpe, revealed who she was and delivered her into enemy hands, everyone wants her dead. If Rune hopes to survive, she must ally herself with the cruel and dangerous Cressida Roseblood, who’s planning to take back the Republic and reinstate a Reign of Witches―something Cressida needs Rune to accomplish.A WITCH HUNTER...Apparently it wasn’t enough for Rune to deceive Gideon; she’s now betrayed him by joining forces with the witch who made his life a living hell. Gideon won’t allow the Republic to fall to the witches and be plunged back into the nightmares of the past. In order to protect this new world he fought for, every last witch must die―especially Rune Winters.AN IMPOSSIBLE CHOICE...When Rune makes Gideon an offer he can’t refuse, the two must pair up to accomplish dangerous goals. The more they’re forced into each other’s company, the more Gideon realizes the feelings he had for Rune aren’t as dead and buried as he thought. Now he’s faced with a terrible choice: sacrifice the girl he loves to stop a monster taking back power, or let Rune live and watch the world he fought so hard for burn.In Kristen Ciccarelli's Rebel Witch, the exciting conclusion to The Crimson Moth duology, love has never been so deadly."An abundance of banter and a healthy dose of sizzle.. A captivating finale to a highly addictive and entertaining duology." - Kirkus (starred review)"Kristin Ciccarelli has a stunning talent for creating characters who will weave their way into your heart and refuse to let go. With a story full of magic, adventure, and delightful banter, Rebel Witch should be on every reader's TBR!" - Brigid Kemmerer, New York Times bestselling author of Forging Silver into Stars.
Punk bands with provocative names such as Böhse Onkelz, Cotzbrocken, Oberste Heeresleitung and Stosstrupp caused a great deal of controversy in the media in the early days of what was probably Germany's most controversial record company: records were banned, censored or confiscated by the public prosecutor's office.A few years later, the former punk cult label had transformed itself into a global right-wing rock distributor. As a RAC rock mecca with international bands like Skrewdriver, Brutal Attack and Bound for Glory under contract, Rock-O-Rama had been in the focus of the Domestic Intelligence Agency since the mid-1980s and is still a fertile topic of discussion in youth subcultures, political scenes and the music underground.A conglomeration of obscure anecdotes and grotesque stories surround the constantly media-shy boss Herbert Egoldt: rumours of "cut-off ears" and the infiltration of the punk scene by the German National Party have made the rounds. In over 700 pages, this book finally sheds light on all the legends, myths and secrets and not only offers music nerds and scene insiders exclusive background information, but also makes an important contribution to the history of Europe's right-wing rock nucleus.

"One of the most uniquely fun and campily gory books in my recent memory... A Certain Hunger has the voice of a hard-boiled detective novel, as if metaphor-happy Raymond Chandler handed the reins over to the sexed-up femme fatale and really let her fly." - The New York TimesFood critic Dorothy Daniels loves what she does. Discerning, meticulous, and very, very smart, Dorothy’s clear mastery of the culinary arts make it likely that she could, on any given night, whip up a more inspired dish than any one of the chefs she writes about. Dorothy loves sex as much as she loves food, and while she has struggled to find a long-term partner that can keep up with her, she makes the best of her single life, frequently traveling from Manhattan to Italy for a taste of both.But there is something within Dorothy that’s different from everyone else, and having suppressed it long enough, she starts to embrace what makes Dorothy uniquely, terrifyingly herself. Recounting her life from a seemingly idyllic farm-to-table childhood, the heights of her career, to the moment she plunges an ice pick into a man's neck on Fire Island, Dorothy Daniels show us what happens when a woman finally embraces her superiority.A satire of early foodieism, a critique of how gender is defined, and a showcase of virtuoso storytelling, Chelsea G. Summers’ A Certain Hunger introduces us to the food world’s most charming psychopath and an exciting new voice in fiction.

Do-it-yourself physical therapy techniques for keeping your dog happy, active, and pain-free―now and for years to come.Kinesiology taping on humans is now commonplace―it is widely used by physical therapists, chiropractors, and personal trainers. The idea behind taping is that it provides incredible support and stabilization of ligaments and tendons while simultaneously stretching and flexing like a "second skin” to allow full range of motion.

She believes that dogs can benefit hugely from taping techniques, and even better, dog owners and trainers can learn practical steps to using kinesiology tape themselves. In her terrific guidebook, Bredlau-Morich provides the ultimate reference for understanding both the uses of kinesiology tape and its numerous canine applications. With hundreds of color photographs and step-by-step instructions for the do-it-yourselfer, her book explains the following forms of kinesiology taping:MuscleScarFasciaIn addition, numerous case studies demonstrate how taping can change a dog’s life, keeping him a happy, active, pain-free companion for years to come.
