Libro: Manifiesto criminal (Ray Carney 2) (978-84-397-4350-7) de Whitehead, Colson (Random House ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Libros de Novela Negra .. Whitehead se está convirtiendo rápidamente en el Dickens de la vida de los afroamericanos estadounidenses. Johanna Thomas-Corr, The Times El doble ganador del Pulitzer continúa entonando su himno a Harlem, en todo su esplendor y miseria, y recreando el paisaje criminal del agitado Nueva York de la década de 1970. Comienza la década de los setenta y la ciudad de Nueva York parece más sucia y peligrosa que nunca. Mientras en las calles de Harlem estalla una guerra abierta entre el Ejército Negro de Liberación y la policía estatal, Ray Carney, al frente de su próspera tienda de muebles, intenta mantenerse alejado de los negocios turbios y ser un honrado padre de familia. Pero no es sencillo dejar atrás un pasado entre ladrones, gánsteres y policías corruptos y, al no encontrar entradas para los Jackson 5 para su hija adolescente, no duda en recurrir a un viejo contacto policial que, a cambio, le reclamará favores un tanto dudosos. Manifiesto criminal nos conducirá desde un mundo de caprichosas estrellas de Hollywood, traficantes de drogas y sicarios que pueblan una producción cinematográfica made in Harlem hasta una trama de especuladores y corrupción política que hará que el barrio arda en llamas. La crítica ha dicho : Un tratado deslumbrante, una gloriosa e intrincada anatomía del atraco, la estafa y el farol. [?] Lo tiene todo: la música, la energía, la dolorosa reflexión de la pérdida. Manifiesto criminal detona alegremente su sátira sobre este mundo al tiempo que llega al corazón del barrio y de su gente. Walter Mosley, The New York Times Book Review Un recordatorio, como si aún lo necesitáramos, de que la novela negrapuede ser gran literatura. Tan resonante y fruto de una observación tan aguda como todo lo que ha escrito Whitehead. Chris Vognar, Los Angeles Times Son novelas policíacas, sí; divertidas y trepidantes. También son las dos primeras entregas de una gran epopeya histórica. Novela enestado puro. Más grande y mejor, en conjunto, que cualquier cosa que Whitehead haya escrito antes. Gabriel Bump, The Washington Post Manifiesto criminal continúa la brillante secuencia que comenzó con El ritmo de Harlem , describiendo intrincadamente la historia culturaly el drama familiar con la energía convincente de un thriller criminal y el agudo ingenio de la sátira social. Jake Arnott, The Guardian Pocos escritores combinan la profundidad de la perspicacia y la compasión con una prosa exquisita; Whitehead es uno de ellos. Prefiero leer sus novelas a las de cualquier otro escritor vivo. Alex Preston, The Financial Times Casi todas las páginas tienen al menos una gran línea. Publishers Weekly 0

Libro: Intermezzo (978-84-397-4403-0) de Rooney, Sally (Random House ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Novela y Narrativa Extranjera .. El libro más esperado del año. La nueva novela de Sally Rooney, la aclamada autora de Gente normal . El fenómeno literario de la década. The Guardian Literatura en mayúsculas. El País A pesar de ser hermanos, Peter e Ivan Koubek tienen poco en común. Peter, de treinta y pocos, es un carismático y renombrado abogado en Dublín de apariencia inquebrantable. Tras la muerte de su padre, lucha por mantener bajo control su caótica vida personal. Se medica para poder dormir y manejar la relación sentimental que mantiene con dos mujeres muy diferentes: su eterno primer amor, Sylvia, y Naomi, una estudiante universitaria que no se toma la vida muy enserio. Ivan, de veintidós años, es un ajedrecista de carácter reservado, rígido en su actitud y aparentemente poco empático, que se ve a sí mismo como la antítesis de su hermano mayor, al que considera superficial y hablador. Pocos días después del funeral, Ivan conocerá a Margaret, una mujer catorce años mayor, y sus vidas se entrelazarán rápida e intensamente. Intermezzo es un nuevo interludio para dos hermanos afligidos y las personas que aman, un tiempo cargado de deseo y desesperación, pero también de posibilidades. Una oportunidad para descubrir cuánto puede contener una vida sin romperse. Me encanta Sally Rooney. Tiene cantidad de imitadores, pero muy pocos la superan y también son muy pocos los críticos que entienden lo que realmente ocurre en esas novelas. [?] Una inteligencia excepcional.

REGRESA EL GANADOR DEL PREMIO BOOKER POR HISTORIA DE SHUGGIE BAIN Un lugar para Mungo lo confirma: Douglas Stuart es un genio. Ron Charles, The Washington Post Un puñetazo directo al corazón. Publishers Weekly A sus quince años, Mungo, un adolescente con una sensibilidad diferente al resto de los chicos del vecindario, vive en un barrio obrero del Glasgow de la era post-Thatcher, en el seno de una familia protestante: sin padre, con una madre alcohólica y un hermano que representa todo lo que él odia. En un ambiente masculinizado, rodeado de paro y peleas callejeras, solo cuenta con el apoyo y el cuidado de su hermana, Jodie. Tras un altercado familiar, su madre decide enviar a Mungo de pesca con dos desconocidos de Alcohólicos Anónimos para que hagan de él un hombre de provecho. De camino a un lago del oeste de Escocia con esos extraños cuyas bromas de borrachos esconden un pasado turbio, Mungo solo piensa en regresar al lado de su amigo James, el único lugar donde ha descubierto que puede ser él mismo. Douglas Stuart nos acerca, con una prosa lírica y vívida, al peligroso primer amor entre dos adolescentes en esta lúcida y conmovedora historia sobre el sentido de la masculinidad y del deber para con la familia, las violencias a las que se enfrentan las identidades queer y los riesgos de querer demasiado a alguien.

Un extraordinario debut ( The New York Review of Books ) traducido enmás de 20 países, multipremiado y alabado por la crítica internacional. Leyendo la primera novela de Andrew Ridker pronto descubres que estás en presencia de un nuevo talento [...]. Su prosa es fresca y divertidísima. The Times Arthur Alter no está pasando por un buen momento. Profesor universitario, mediocre y sesentón, tiene harta a su jovencísima novia, nopuede pagar la hipoteca y sus hijos, Ethan y Maggie, no le dirigen la palabra. Para evitar perder la lujosa casa familiar, Arthur decide invitarles a pasar un fin de semana con la excusa de una reconciliación, pero con la intención real de hacerse con la pequeña fortuna secreta que su difunta esposa Francine les legó. Desde el fallecimiento de su madre, Ethan vive en Nueva York y se ha convertido en un ermitaño. Ha abandonado su trabajo, se ha comprado un apartamento que no se puede permitir y su parte de la herencia prácticamente ha desaparecido. Maggie, por su parte, se haconvertido en una especie de asceta voluntaria. No quiere tocar el legado de su madre, pero, al mismo tiempo, solo consigue trabajos mal pagados que no le dan ni para subsistir. Contra todo pronóstico, ambos aceptarán la invitación de su padre sin que este imagine que todos tienen una agenda oculta. Los altruistas es una oscura y divertida saga familiar que afronta la división entre los babyboomers y su descendencia millennial, que nos recuerda que todos cometemos errores y que, de alguna manera, lo importante es encontrar el camino de vuelta. La crítica ha dicho: El arrollador debut de Ridker sigue las angustias de la familia Alter, judía, de clase media, en su búsqueda de la moralidad.

Libro: El ritmo de Harlem (978-84-397-3971-5) de Whitehead, Colson (Random House ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Novela y Narrativa Extranjera .. Un autor que roza la maestría [#]. Whitehead se ha convertido en uno de los mejores novelistas de Estados Unidos. Sam Sacks, The Wall Street Journal Ray Carner, hijo de un miembro de la mafia local y padre de familia modélico, regenta la tienda de muebles de la calle Ciento veinticinco, en Harlem. Ray intenta alejarse de la vida de delincuencia que su padre le mostró de niño, pero con un segundo hijo en camino necesita sacarse un dinero extra revendiendo artículos robados. Ahora, su primo Freddie le ofrece participar en algo más peligroso: el robo del famoso hotel Theresa, el Waldorf de Harlem. Policías corruptos, gángsters locales y pornógrafos pirómanos pasan a formar parte de su clientela habitual, y Ray tendrá que hacer equilibrios para mantener esta doble vida sin morir en el intento. El multipremiado Colson Whitehead regresa con una historia deslumbrante que recrea el paisaje criminal del Harlem de los años sesenta, un lugar que se convertirá en el centro de la lucha por los derechos civiles y donde la muerte de un adolescente negro abatido a tiros por la policía desencadenará los famosos disturbios de 1964. Una vez más, el autor pone de relieve las desigualdades y la discriminación racial de una época cuyos ecos aún resuenan en nuestro presente, en una novela criminal cargada de humor con la que consigue romper de nuevo las reglas del género negro. La crítica ha dicho... Uno de los mejores escritores norteamericanos vivos. Mitchell S. Jackson, Time Su escritura hace lo que la escritura debe hacer: actualiza nuestra percepción del mundo. John Updike , New Yorker La novela clava las complejidades del pasado de Nueva York, desde las maravillas de la Feria Mundial hasta la desesperación de los disturbios en Harlem. Los Angeles Times Whitehead pone a prueba su fuerza literaria, expandiendo los límites y las expectativas de la novela negra. Este libro es también un drama social que interroga la naturaleza de los prejuicios y cómo el entorno limita la ambición. The Guardian, Book of the Day Gloriosamente entretenido [#] un drama social chispeante, que combina pinceladas de alta comedia con reflexiones sobre la esencia de la emancipación y el empoderamiento negros en Estados Unidos. Es poco probable que surja una novela mejor este año. The Evening Standard La trama que (Whitehead) ha ideado para El ritmo de Harlem le ha ofrecido un nuevo motor narrativo de alta velocidad con el que jugar, pero también le ha dado una forma de explorar ideas sobre la naturaleza resbaladiza de la moralidad, el poder (y quién lo posee) y las jerarquías sociales de subculturas criminales. The New York Times Una apasionante novela de atracos ambientada en la era del Harlem de los derechos civiles. [#] Es una historia superlativa, pero el logro más impresionante es la representación amorosa que hace Whitehead del Harlem de los...

Libro: New York (978-0-09-950938-7) de Rutherfurd, Edward (Random House ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. _________________________ A sweeping, epic novel of the greatest city in the world. From the empty grandeur of the New World to the skyscrapers of the City that Never Sleeps, from the intimate detail of lives long forgotten to those lived today at breakneck speed, Edward Rutherfurd's acclaimed novel is a true epic. The novel begins with a tiny Indian fishing village and the Dutch traders who first carved out their hopes amidst the splendour of the wilderness. The British settlers and merchants followed, with their aristocratic governors and unpopular taxation which led to rebellion, war, the burning of the city and the birth of the American Nation. Yet a country that had already rent itself asunder once did so again over slavery. As the country fought its bloody Civil War, the city was torn apart by deadly riots. Hopes and dreams, greed and corruption - they have always been the companions of freedom and opportunity in the city's teeming streets. As the immigrant ships berthed next to Ellis Island in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty, they poured more and more Germans, Irish, Italians and Jews into the churning ethnic mix of the city. Deals were struck, politicians corrupted, men bought or assassinated, heiresses wooed, fortunes were speculated on Wall Street and men became rich beyond the dreams of avarice. The heady seesaw of wealth and poverty was seen in the Roaring Twenties and the Great Crash, the city's future symbolised by its buildings which literally touched the sky: the Empire State, the Chrysler Building, the Twin Towers. Rutherfurd tells this irresistible story through a cast of fictional and true characters whose fates interweave in the rise and fall, fall and rise of the city's fortunes. It is the story of how in four centuries New York became the envy of the world. And in telling the story through the lens of New York, Rutherfurd brings the story of America itself to unforgettable life in this epic masterpiece. 0

Libro: En El Pensamiento (978-84-397-4329-3) de Aira, César (Random House ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Novela y Narrativa Española e Hispanoamericana .. La nueva novela de César Aira, uno de los novelistas más provocativos e idiosincrásicos de la literatura en lengua española. ( The New York Times ) En un lugar remoto de La Pampa argentina se encuentra El Pensamiento: un par de calles y un puñado de casas construidas alrededor de una estación ferroviaria. Dejándose llevar por los recuerdos hasta ahora olvidados, el narrador de esta historia evoca el último año que vivió en esta diminuta localidad, con siete años y justo antes de mudarse a la ciudad de Coronel Pringles con su familia. Criado en un ambiente rural, entre sirvientas, una madre tierna y un patriarca que poco a poco ha ido comprando el pueblo entero, su último año estuvo marcado por dos sucesos memorables que hicieron tambalearse la idílica paz rural de los vecinos: la llegada de un preceptor venido de la ciudad para hacerse cargo de la educación del narrador y el misterioso incidente con una locomotora desaparecida. Entre personajes que parecen sacados de una novela decimonónica, guiños proustianos y estampas pampeanas de una Argentina que quiere abrazar el progreso y el orden, Aira construye una novela de iniciación que muta y nunca es lo que aparenta ser, pero que despliega de nuevo el gran talento, el desbordante imaginario y la originalidad radical que caracterizan la obra de uno de los grandes autores de nuestro tiempo. Sobre el autor y su obra la crítica ha dicho: Qué podemos esperar de una obra de César Aira? Cualquier cosa: un artefacto ingenioso e impredecible, una miniatura narrativa que renueva, una y otra vez, la literatura. Juan Pablo Villalobos El modo en que Aira recoge el guante de las convenciones narrativas y las diluye en un cruce de ejes con la naturaleza entrópica de la vida es maravilloso. Nadal Suau, El Cultural César Aira no es solo uno de los más destacables escritores argentinos de la actualidad: es también uno de los autores más originales, más chocantes, más inteligentes y divertidos de la narrativa contemporánea en lengua española. Ignacio Echevarría En la literatura argentina, Aira goza del raro privilegio de crear belleza, a la manera de Oscar Wilde o de Fellini. Fabricar objetos exóticos, que una vez en el aire se tornan necesarios e inevitables. Leonardo Moledo, Clarín Si Marcel Duchamp puso patas arriba la institución Arte, no es exagerado decir que cada nuevo libro de César Aira hace lo propio con la Literatura, a veces con herramientas afines: la parodia, la desviación y el azar. Carlos Pardo, Babelia Las historias de Aira parecen fragmentos de un infinito e interconectado universo en constante expansión. Patti Smith César Aira es uno de los novelistas más provocativos e idiosincrásicos de la literatura en lengua española. No hay que perdérselo.

Libro: DARE TO LEAD (978-1-984854-03-2) de BRENE BROWN (Random House ) Comprar Libros de Otros .. Bren Brown has taught us what it means to dare greatly, rise strong, and brave the wilderness. Now, based on new research conducted with leaders, change makers, and culture shifters, she's showing us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead. Leadership is not about titles, status, and wielding power. A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for recognizing the potential in people and ideas, and has the courage to develop that potential. When we dare to lead, we don't pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don't see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it with others. We don't avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into vulnerability when it's necessary to do good work. But daring leadership in a culture defined by scarcity, fear, and uncertainty requires skill-building around traits that are deeply and uniquely human. The irony is that we're choosing not to invest in developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the exact same time as we're scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines and AI can't do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy, connection, and courage, to start. Four-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Bren Brown has spent the past two decades studying the emotions and experiences that give meaning to our lives, and the past seven years working with transformative leaders and teams spanning the globe. She found that leaders in organizations ranging from small entrepreneurial startups and family-owned businesses to nonprofits, civic organizations, and Fortune 50 companies all ask the same question: How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders, and how do you embed the value of courage in your culture? In this new book, Brown uses research, stories, and examples to answer these questions in the no-BS style that millions of readers have come to expect and love. Brown writes, One of the most important findings of my career is that daring leadership is a collection of four skill sets that are 100 percent teachable, observable, and measurable. It's learning and unlearning that requires brave work, tough conversations, and showing up with your whole heart. Easy? No. Because choosing courage over comfort is not always our default. Worth it? Always. We want to be brave with our lives and our work. It's why we're here. Whether you've read Daring Greatly and Rising Strong or you're new to Bren Brown's work, this book is for anyone who wants to step up and into brave leadership. 0

Libro: Behave (978-0-09-957506-1) de Sapolsky, Robert M. (Random House ) Comprar Libros de Ciencias Técnicas .Historia de la ciencia .. A ground-breaking synthesis of the entire science of human behaviour by 'one of the best scientist-writers of our time' (Oliver Sacks) -- 'It's no exaggeration to say that Behave is one of the best nonfiction books I've ever read' Wall Street Journal Why do we do what we do? Behave is at once a dazzling tour and a majestic synthesis of the whole science of human behaviour. Brought to life through simple language, engaging stories and irreverent wit, it offers the fullest picture yet of the origins of tribalism and xenophobia, hierarchy and competition, morality and free will, war and peace. Robert Sapolsky's ingenious method is to move backwards in time from the moment at which a behaviour occurs, layer by layer through the myriad influences that led to it: - We begin with the split-second reactions of the brain and nervous system... - Then we consider our response to sight, sound and smell in the minutes and seconds beforehand... - Next he explains the interactions of hormones, which prime our behaviour in the preceding hours and days... - He proceeds through the experiences of adolescence, childhood and foetal development that shape us over our lifespans... - And continues over centuries and millennia through the profound influences of genetic inheritance, cultural context and ultimately the evolutionary origins of our species. Throughout, Sapolsky considers the most important question: what causes acts of aggression or compassion? What inspires us to terrible deeds and what might help foster our best behaviour? Wise, humane, often very funny, Behave is a towering achievement, powerfully humanizing, that is unlikely to be surpassed for many years. 0

Libro: The Power of Habit (978-1-84794-624-9) de Duhigg, Charles (Random House ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. There's never been a better time to set new habits. This book will change your life. In The Power of Habit , award-winning journalist Charles Duhigg takes us into the thrilling and surprising world of the scientific study of habits. He examines why some people and companies struggle to change, despite years of trying, while others seem to remake themselves overnight. He visits laboratories where neuroscientists explore how habits work and where, exactly, they reside in our brains. And he uncovers how the right habits were crucial to the success of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, and civil-rights hero Martin Luther King, Jr. The result is a compelling argument and an empowering discovery: the key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive or even building revolutionary companies is understanding how habits work. By harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives. ______________________________ '[An] essential manual for business and living.' Andrew Hill, Financial Times 'Once you read this book, you'll never look at yourself, your organisation, or your world quite the same way.' Daniel H. Pink 'This is a first-rate book - based on an impressive mass of research, written in a lively style and providing just the right balance of intellectual seriousness with practical advice on how to break our bad habits.' The Economist 0
