Una novela sobre esos jóvenes impetuosos que hacen las guerras en primera línea mientras otros, en la retaguardia, toman la decisión de enviarlos y se desentienden del horror que causan. Lázaro es un joven aprendiz de escritor que, en opinión de su maestro, es incapaz de escribir historias largas, a pesar de su talento, porque pertenece a la generación de lo fragmentario, del post bloguero, el mensaje de Facebook o Twitter y el vídeo de YouTube. Para Lázaro, el problema estriba en que no tiene argumentos, en que le falta una historia que contar.

El sargento Bevilacqua y su compañera la cabo Chamorro, atípicos investigadores de la Guardia Civil, deben esclarecer la muerte del alocado joven Iván López von Amsberg en la isla canaria de La Gomera. Se trata de un caso que, en la jerga de la unidad central, se conoce como «un asunto podrido: el principal sospechoso, un político local cuya hija adolescente salía con Iván, fue juzgado y absuelto dos años atrás. Las pistas son obsoletas, el caso está empantanado y ofrece pocas posibilidades de ser resuelto.

La novela policiaca que ganó el premio Nadal el año 2000 ahora en letra grande. En un motel cerca de Guadalajara yace un hombre muerto en una postura poco honrosa. ¿Asesinato de estudiada crueldad o muerte natural tras la pasión de un encuentro amoroso? El sargento de la Guardia Civil Rubén Bevilacqua, psicólogo renegado, y su ayudante Virginia Chamorro, aficionada a la astronomía, deberán resolver este caso donde la primera incógnita por desentrañar es la víctima.

Una novela enormemente divertida, ágil y magníficamente escrita. El protagonista y narrador de esta historia se empotra contra el descapotable de una irritante ejecutiva en lunes a las ocho de la mañana. Ciertamente, él se distrajo un poco, pero ella no tenía por qué frenar en seco ni, desde luego, escupirle todos los insultos del diccionario. Por ello, y para hacer soportables las tardes de aquel bochornoso verano, decide dedicarse "al acecho y aniquilación moral de Sonsoles".

El primer caso de la ya famosa pareja, Bevilacqua y la agente Chamorro. El cuerpo desnudo de una joven austriaca pende atado de las manos en un chalet mallorquín. Ni los signos de violencia, ni la pestilencia de una muerte estival ocultan su inquietante belleza. En el revólver hallado en la basura abundan las huellas de una sesentona suiza de fama libertina, pero la vida turbia de la joven, Eva Heydrich —un ser irresistible consagrado tanto al placer como a la destrucción—, sugiere que la sencillez del crimen es tan sólo la punta de un iceberg.

Mónica y Ramón no han tenido mucha suerte en la vida, ni les quedan demasiadas esperanzas de tenerla alguna vez. Mónica es una periodista al borde de los treinta que subsiste con un subempleo que detesta. Ramón, mediados los cuarenta, se obstina en ser un misterio: no desvela a qué se dedica.

Love. Violence. Destiny. These powerful themes ricochet through Lorenzo Carcaterra's new novel like bullets from a machine gun. In Gangster, he surpasses even his best-selling Sleepers to create a brutal and brilliant American saga of murder, forgiveness, and redemption.

My name is Vincent Marelli, though most people call me The Wolf. You’ve never met me, and if you’re lucky you never will. But in more ways than you could think of, I own you. I run the biggest criminal operation in the world. We’re invisible but we’re everywhere. Wherever you go, whatever you do, however it is you spend your money, a piece of it lands in our pockets.

If there’s one kind of person Tank Rizzo hates most in this world, it’s a dirty cop. Criminals are at least honest about being dishonest; dirty cops are a disgrace to the badge they carry. Detective Eddie Kenwood is one such disgrace. He’s got the highest signed-confession rate in the NYPD and a distinguished career built on putting men behind bars - whether they’re guilty or not doesn’t matter much to him. When Tank’s partner, Pearl, tells him about an old family friend Kenwood put in jail for a murder he didn’t commit, Tank and Pearl vow to take Kenwood down.

Salvation and spiritual perfection should not be sought haphazardly; a strategy is needed to win the battle for our souls. The Spiritual Combat, first published in 1589, provides timeless guidance in spiritual discipline. St. Francis de Sales (1576-1622) read from it himself every day and recommended it to everyone under his direction.

Frank Lorenzo is the epitome of the American dream. A first-generation American and entrepreneur, Lorenzo started an airline advisory business in his mid-twenties and ultimately rose to control the largest fleet of airplanes in the free world. Flying for Peanuts explains how the son of Spanish immigrants put himself through Columbia College by driving a Coca-Cola truck and then grew the fledgling advisory into ownership of Texas International Airlines. From there, Lorenzo became CEO of Continental Airlines, a large loss-making west coast airline at the time.

The Spiritual Combat is considered one of the two greatest ascetic classics, the other being The Imitation of Christ. The authors of both are shrouded in mystery. There are many 17th-century editions which have the name Spanish Benedictine, John of Castanzia. Some Jesuit writers have ascribed the book to the Jesuit Achilles Gagliardi. However, most critics consider Fr. Lawrence Scupoli the author.

Cesare is 77 years old, a widower and cynical troublemaker, a man who has always had trouble caring for others and has given up trying. Aside from an intermittent fling with a mature nurse called Rossana, who moonlights as a sex worker, he prefers to live his own life, avoiding contact with his neighbors and even his own children wherever possible. Until one day, the enigmatic Emma moves into the neighboring flat.

Brontolone, cinico, pigro, bugiardo: è così che si potrebbe descrivere Cesare Annunziata. Come quella volta in cui, per attaccare bottone con la sua futura moglie, si era inventato di possedere una collezione di scatolette di fiammiferi per poi essere costretto per oltre cinquant’anni a collezionarle davvero. Ormai vedovo e ottantenne, con mille acciacchi e le giornate vuote, Cesare si trova ad affrontare un agosto in città. Nel condominio al Vomero sono rimasti in pochi.

La colonizzazione greca nell'estremo meridionale della penisola (Calabria, Basilicata, parte della Campania e della Puglia) fra l'ottavo secolo a. C. e la conquista romana nel terzo secolo a. C.: una civiltà grande e prospera raccontata nel suo sviluppo e nei suoi tratti essenziali da due illustri specialisti.

Naples, Italy, during four fateful days in the fall of 1943. The only ones left in the bombed-out city are the abandoned children whose only goal is to survive another day. No one could imagine that they would become fearless fighters and the unlikeliest heroes of World War II.

From the singular voices behind Tom and Lorenzo comes the ultimate guide to all-things RuPaul's Drag Race and its influence on modern LGBTQ culture. Legendary Children centers itself around the idea that not only is RuPaul's Drag Race the queerest show in the history of television, but that RuPaul and company devised a show that serves as an actual museum of queer cultural and social history, drawing on queer traditions and the work of legendary figures going back nearly a century.
