Libro: Stoner (978-1-78487-914-3) de Williams, John (Penguin Random House ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. A beautiful hardback edition of the iconic forgotten classic, the story of one man's ordinary, extraordinary life. William Stoner enters the University of Missouri at nineteen to study agriculture. A seminar on English literature changes his life, and he never returns to work on his father's farm. Stoner becomes a teacher. He marries the wrong woman. His life is quiet, and after his death, his colleagues remember him rarely. Yet with truthfulness, compassion and intense power, this novel uncovers a story of universal value - of the conflicts, defeats and victories of the human race that pass unrecorded by history - and in doing so reclaims the significance of an individual life.

Libro: Table for Two (978-1-5291-5411-5) de Towles, Amor (Penguin Random House ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES and NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW , THE LINCOLN HIGHWAY AND RULES OF CIVILITY 'A knockout . . . Table for Two is a winner' NEW YORK TIMES 'There is no better writer working today' CHRIS CLEAVE 'He makes it all seem effortless' TANA FRENCH 'A gem of a book that springs delights and surprises on every page' JEFFREY ARCHER 'There is a great deal to relish in Table for Two . . . If you take only one book on holiday this summer, you couldn't ask for a better literary capsule wardrobe' THE TIMES Amor Towles fans are in for a treat as he shares some of his shorter fiction: six stories based in New York City and a novella set in Golden Age Hollywood. The New York stories, most of which take place around the year 2000, consider the fateful consequences that can spring from brief encounters and the delicate mechanics of compromise that operate at the heart of modern marriages. In the novella, 'Eve in Hollywood', Towles returns to one of the characters at the heart of his debut novel Rules of Civility : the indomitable Evelyn Ross, who leaves New York City in September 1938 with the intention of returning home to Indiana. But as her train pulls into Chicago, where her parents are waiting, she instead extends her ticket to Los Angeles. Told from multiple points of view, 'Eve in Hollywood' describes how Towles' heroine crafts a new future for herself and others in a noirish tale that takes us through the movie sets, bungalows and dive bars of Los Angeles. Written with wit, humour and sophistication, Table for Two is a glittering and stylish offering from the author of A Gentleman in Moscow , The Lincoln Highway and Rules of Civility . Praise for The Lincoln Highway : "A rollicking cross-country adventure, rife with unforgettable characters, vivid scenery and suspense that will keep readers flying through the pages." Time "Elegantly constructed and compulsively readable . . . hitch onto this delightful tour de force and you'll be pulled straight through to the end, helpless against the inventive exuberance of Towles' storytelling." NPR "Wise and wildly entertaining . . . Towles goes all in on the kind of episodic, exuberant narrative haywire found in myth or Homeric epic."

Libro: This Other Eden (978-1-5291-5254-8) de Harding, Paul (Penguin Random House ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. "From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Tinkers, a novel inspired by the true story of Malaga Island, an isolated island off the coast of Maine that became one of the first racially integrated towns in the Northeast. In 1792, formerly enslaved Benjamin Honey and his Irish wife, Patience, discover an island where they can make a life together. Over a century later, the Honeys' descendants and a diverse group of neighbors are desperately poor, isolated, and often hungry, but nevertheless protected from the hostility awaiting them on the mainland. During the tumultuous summer of 1912, Matthew Diamond, a retired, idealistic but prejudiced schoolteacher-turned-missionary, disrupts the community's fragile balance through his efforts to educate its children. His presence attracts the attention of authorities on the mainland who, under the influence of the eugenics-thinking popular among progressives of the day, decide to forcibly evacuate the island, institutionalize its residents, and develop the island as a vacation destination. Beginning with a hurricane flood reminiscent of the story of Noah's Ark, the novel ends with yet another Ark. In prose of breathtaking beauty and power, Paul Harding brings to life an unforgettable cast of characters: Iris and Violet McDermott, sisters raising three orphaned Penobscot children; Theophilus and Candace Larks and their brood of vagabond children; the prophetic Zachary Hand to God Proverbs, a Civil War veteran who lives in a hollow tree; and more. A spellbinding story of resistance and survival, This Other Eden is an enduring testament to the struggle to preserve human dignity in the face of intolerance and injustice"-- 0

Libro: LUCKY LOSER (978-1-84792-824-5) de Russ Buettner; Susanne Craig (Penguin Random House ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. ** THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * LONGLISTED FOR THE FT AND SHRODERS BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024 * A TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT AND FINANCIAL TIMES BEST BOOK OF 2024 ** Inheritance. Fraud. Deceit. Drawing on decades' worth of confidential tax information, business records and insider interviews, Lucky Loser is an explosive investigation into the reality behind Trump's wealth. 'Meticulously documented ... This is a page turner, with spectacular anecdotes' Washington Post 'Scalpel-like ... Damning' Sunday Times 'A first-rate financial thriller ... deserves, even demands, to be read' New York Times Soon after announcing his first campaign for the U.S. presidency, Donald J. Trump declared life has 'not been easy for me'. He spun a fable of how he turned a small loan from his father into a multi-billion-dollar empire, and argued this made him singularly qualified to lead the country. Except none of it was true. Born to a rich father, Trump received the equivalent of more than $500 million today. The story of Trump's finances is one of rises and falls, of squandering fortunes on money-losing businesses to be saved by blind luck. He tacks his name to buildings while taking out huge loans he'll never repay. He obsesses over appearances while ignoring threats to the bottom line and mounting costly lawsuits. He tarnishes the value of the Trump name by allowing anyone with a big enough cheque to use it. He makes side deals to cut out the television producer who not only rescued him from bankruptcy but casts him as a business guru - the image that carries him to the White House. Here, for the first time, in a meticulous masterpiece of narrative reporting filled with scoops, is the definitive true accounting of Trump and his money - what he had, what he lost, and what he has left - and the final word on the myth of Trump, the self-made millionaire. * New York Times bestseller list, 6 Oct 24. 0

Libro: TUPAC SHAKUR (978-1-80494-641-1) de Staci Robinson (Penguin Random House ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. There are legends, and then there is Tupac. Tupac Shakur became one of the greatest and most controversial artists of all time, until his early, tragic death in 1996 at the age of twenty-five. Yet for all the ink spilled about his life and career, he remains misunderstood, even as his voice speaks just as commandingly about Black life as it did at the height of his fame. in Tupac Shakur , the first and only biography authorised by Tupac's estate, author and screenwriter Staci Robinson peels back the myths and half-truths that have grown to conceal the man himself. With exclusive access to Tupac's private notebooks, letters, unpublished lyrics and uncensored conversations with those who knew and loved him best, Robinson tells a powerful story of a life defined by politics and art, and a man driven by equal parts brilliance and impulsiveness. This is the story of dizzying success and its difficult, tragic consequences. And of course it is the story of music that will never die as it continues to touch and inspire millions around the world. 0

THE PHENOMENAL INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER: 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD Transform your life with tiny changes in behaviour, starting now. People think that when you want to change your life, you need to think big. But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way. He knows that real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions: doing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes early, or holding a single short phone call. He calls them atomic habits. In this ground-breaking book, Clears reveals exactly how these minuscule changes can grow into such life-altering outcomes. He uncovers a handful of simple life hacks (the forgotten art of Habit Stacking, the unexpected power of the Two Minute Rule, or the trick to entering the Goldilocks Zone), and delves into cutting-edge psychology and neuroscience to explain why they matter. Along the way, he tells inspiring stories of Olympic gold medalists, leading CEOs, and distinguished scientists who have used the science of tiny habits to stay productive, motivated, and happy. These small changes will have a revolutionary effect on your career, your relationships, and your life. ________________________________ A NEW YORK TIMES AND SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'A supremely practical and useful book.' Mark Manson, author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck 'James Clear has spent years honing the art and studying the science of habits. This engaging, hands-on book is the guide you need to break bad routines and make good ones.' Adam Grant, author of Originals ' Atomic Habits is a step-by-step manual for changing routines.

One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one--homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us? Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas .Dr. Harari also compels us to look ahead, because over the last few decades humans have begun to bend laws of natural selection that have governed life for the past four billion years. We are acquiring the ability to design not only the world around us, but also ourselves. Where is this leading us, and what do we want to become? Featuring 27 photographs, 6 maps, and 25 illustrations/diagrams, this provocative and insightful work is sure to spark debate and is essential reading for aficionados of Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley, Robert Wright, and Sharon Moalem"-- 0

Libro: My Name is Barbra (978-1-5291-3689-0) de Barbra Streisand (Penguin Random House ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER and THE TIMES MUSIC BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023. The exhilarating and startlingly honest autobiography of the living legend. ''Over almost a thousand pages, the diva to end them all documents her rise to the top and the tears and joys that went with it ... What really brings this alive is Barbra Streisand''s admission of the insecurity that drives her.'' The Times ''Exhilarating ... leaves blood on the page ... My Name Is Barbra is 992 pages of startling honesty and self-reflection, deadpan parenthetical asides, encyclopedic recall of onstage outfits, and rigorous analyses of her films'' Vanity Fair ''I have been patiently waiting for Barbra Streisand''s autobiography for 54 years....My Name is Barbra is a Streisand obsessive''s dream come true. It addresses all the rumours and misrepresentations of her long and extraordinary life, from nearly missing out on A Star is Born to dating Pierre Trudeau, Omar Sharif and Marlon Brando. The wait has been worth every word!'' - Richard E Grant, Sunday Times ''The mother of all memoirs'' New Yorker ''A brilliant memoir'' Hillary Clinton ''Glorious, exuberant, chatty and candid, a 970-page victory lap past all who ever doubted, diminished or dissed her . . . generous dollops of chutzpah ... Nobody puts Barbra in the corner'' New York Times ''Mystical, messy, bawdy and funny ... My Name is Barbra confides her insecurities and a ravening hunger for fame ... silent but eloquent and vociferous writing'' Peter Conrad, The Observer ''At heart this is a story so bursting with life, fury, unbelievable ambition and food (Streisand loves to eat) that you come away from it exhausted but smiling ... hear hear!'' The Guardian ''This enormous, poignant memoir from the ultimate showbusiness trouper shows that you can never have it all (even if you''re Barbra). The writing is great and the likeable formidable personality shines through . . . deeper than the average celebrity memoir'' The Times ''A glorious doorstopper... the sheer ambition of this intricately woven memoir makes it a fascinating read. The delicate pages bring to mind a Russian novel or, perhaps more appropriately for the many who view Streisand as akin to a deity, a bible. And yet, Streisand writes relatively succinctly, with warmth and wit. Behind the sequins, beneath the wigs and through the glass of the recording studio, there''s just a woman who dreamed of being famous and make it happen, on her terms. It''s an accomplished and entrancing walk through a life well lived'' Evening Standard ''No less than a living legend ... Streisand''s story is truly inspirational and it''s one that you''ll want to pick up again and again'' Glamour Barbra Streisand is by any account a living legend, a woman who in a career spanning six decades has excelled in every area of entertainment. She is among the handful...

Libro: Letters to Milena (978-1-78487-400-1) de Kafka, Franz (Penguin Random House ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Otros Idiomas .Novela y Narrativa en Inglés .. 'You are the knife I turn inside myself' Franz Kafka's letters to his one-time muse, Milena Jesenska - an intimate window into the desires and hopes of the twentieth-century's most prophetic and important writer Kafka first made the acquaintance of Milena Jesenska in 1920 when she was translating his early short prose into Czech. Their relationship quickly developed into a deep attachment. Such was his feeling for her that Kafka showed her his diaries and, in doing so, laid bare his heart and his conscience. While at times Milena's 'genius for living' gave Kafka new life, it ultimately exhausted him, and their relationship was to last little over two years. In 1924 Kafka died in a sanatorium near Vienna, and Milena died in 1944 at the hands of the Nazis, leaving these letters as a moving record of their relationship. 0

Libro: RH23 WITH YOU FOREVER (978-1-80494-475-2) de Chloe Liese (Penguin Random House ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Otros Idiomas .Novela y Narrativa en Inglés .. 'A stunning mix of hilarious tropes, swoony romance and lovable, relatable characters. A must read for every romance lover!' Ali Hazelwood, author of The Love Hypothesis Axel Rooney Sullivan is sunshine incarnate. Warm, bright, always smiling, she's the last person I have any business desiring. I've done everything possible to keep my distance... until a charades game gone wrong brought that to a grinding halt. Since then, steering clear of Rooney has been impossible, and the woman who was once avoidable has become the last thing I needed: temptingly within reach. Rooney Axel Bergman is a gorgeous grump who doesn't have the time of day for me. Somehow, I've kept my crush hidden ... well, until I kissed him. My life is a mess, and the last thing I need is to embarrass myself further with the man who avoids me like it's his job rather than painting modern masterpieces . But it seems the universe has a different plan as we unexpectedly find our paths - and problems - converging. And we've come up with one very unexpected solution... A sunshine and grump, marriage of convenience romance about a shy artist on the autism spectrum, and a smiley smartypants who has a chronic IBD.

Libro: JUST SAYIN' (978-1-5291-1869-8) de Blackman, Malorie (Penguin Random House ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. The long-awaited autobiography of one of the world's greatest children's writers, and an empowering and inspiring account of a life in books. Since childhood it has been an honour to read every story that Malorie Blackman has written. Candice Carty Williams, author, Queenie Malorie Blackman OBE is one of Britain's best loved and most widely-read writers. For over thirty years, her books have helped to shape British culture, and inspired generations of younger readers and writers. The Noughts and Crosses series, started in 2000, sparked a new and necessary conversation about race and identity in the UK, and are already undisputed classics of twenty-first-century children's literature. She is also a writer whose own life has been shaped by books, from her childhood in south London, the daughter of parents who moved to Britain from Barbados as part of the Windrush Generation, and who experienced a childhood that was both wonderful and marred by the everyday racism and bigotry of the era. She was told she could not apply to study her first love, literature, at university, in spite of her academic potential, but found a way to books and to a life in writing against a number of obstacles. This book is an account of that journey, from a childhood surrounded by words, to the 83 rejection letters she received in response to sending out her first project, to the children's laureateship. It explores the books who have made her who she is, and the background to some the most beloved and powerful children's stories of today. It is an illuminating, inspiring and empowering account of the power of words to change lives, and the extraordinary life story of one of the world's greatest writers. 0

A swoony contemporary romance from Adam Sass following a boy who is cursed to doom any romantic relationship--and the summer that changes everything. Grant Rossi is never getting a happily-ever-after. Ever since he was a kid and made a wish on his family's iconic Wishing Rose, his romantic relationships have been cursed to end. Following his most recent (and extremely public) dumping, Grant is languishing in a hot Chicago summer, abandoning his beloved design projects to sink back into depression. But when his family suggests spending the summer helping his aunt and uncle refurbish their beautiful but rundown BB and vineyard--the home of the Wishing Rose that changed everything for him--Grant decides to accept. Maybe he can finally find a way to recover his creative spark...and break his curse. But things at the vineyard are not what Grant expects. The place is in almost total disrepair, and--even worse--the person his relatives hired to help is his former childhood crush, Ben--the first boy who broke his heart. As their chemistry sparks and the summer heats up, the wedge between them can't be ignored. But while they race to restore the BB in time for the beloved local rose festival, grumpy but lovable Ben starts to break through Grant's carefully crafted defenses. Can Grant find a way to overcome his curse and open his heart, even when it's broken? 0
