La pluma de Violeta Reed es actual, divertida y cautivadora, y el tira y afloja de William y Raquel engancha desde el minuto cero, pero ten cuidado: esta historia a fuego lento te derretirá por dentro. ELENA ARMAS ESCRIBIR ROMANCE NUNCA FUE TAN COMPLICADOWilliam Anderson es el escritor de fantasía más exitoso de la década, con millones de lectores enganchados a su pluma. Es exigente, ambicioso… y tremendamente atractivo. Y también es un bocazas. Raquel García es una joven española que llegó a Nueva York persiguiendo su sueño: trabajar en una de las editoriales más importantes del país. Lo que no imaginaba es que, para conseguirlo, debería lidiar con Anderson después de que este, con más ego que sentido común, prometa en un reconocido programa de televisión que su próximo libro será el best seller de romántica del año. William no está dispuesto a dejarse corregir y Raquel no va a pasarle ni una, sobre todo si lo que escribe está lleno de clichés pasados de moda. Condenados a entenderse, tendrán que trabajar juntos para superar un gran reto: sacar adelante la novela que cambiará sus vidas.UNA HISTORIA DE AMOR CORREGIDA EN BOLI ROJOBeauchamp Hall

La Navidad es una época para pasar en familia, pero ¿y si tienes que elegir la tuya? Una comedia romántica…
sobre cuatro amigos que tratan de aferrarse a su propia tradición navideña en la ciudad de Nueva York, perfecta para los fans de Gente que conocemos de vacaciones y Un día de diciembre.Durante diez años, Hannah y Finn han pasado las navidades juntos. Al no tener a nadie con quien compartirlas (los padres de Hannah murieron y los de Finn lo desheredaron cuando salió del armario), han creado sus propias tradiciones: desgañitarse en un karaoke detrás de un restaurante de Chinatown, saludar desde la carroza de un desfile, patinar sobre hielo bajo el árbol del Rockefeller Center... A lo largo de los años, se les han unido la moderna Priya y el misterioso Theo, y juntos han creado el Club de la Navidad.Sin embargo, todo está a punto de cambiar para siempre. Finn tiene una noticia que hace que los cimientos del grupo se tambaleen: esta Navidad podría ser la última que compartan. A Hannah le aterroriza perder la familia que tanto le ha costado encontrar, y a Finn, enfrentarse a todo lo que va a dejar atrás... Concretamente, a lo que siente por Theo.Sin embargo, avanzar no siempre implica distanciarse y puede que, estas navidades, los cambios que tanto temen sean precisamente los que más necesitan. Reseñas:«Becca Freeman da un nuevo y necesitado giro a los clásicos cuentos navideños. Narrado en el transcurso de once navidades, este debut ingenioso y emotivo sigue los pasos de un grupo de jóvenes neoyorquinos y la forma en la que su amistad los convierte en familia: una con sus propias tradiciones, tensiones y problemas.

Par Ernest Hemingway. 2023
A gorgeous new centennial edition of Ernest Hemingway’s landmark short story of returning veteran Nick Adams’s solo fishing trip in…
Michigan’s rugged Upper Peninsula, illustrated with specially commissioned artwork by master engraver Chris Wormell and featuring a revelatory foreword by John N. Maclean."The finest story of the outdoors in American literature." —Sports IllustratedA century since its publication in the collection In Our Time, “Big Two-Hearted River” has helped shape language and literature in America and across the globe, and its magnetic pull continues to draw readers, writers, and critics. The story is the best early example of Ernest Hemingway’s now-familiar writing style: short sentences, punchy nouns and verbs, few adjectives and adverbs, and a seductive cadence. Easy to imitate, difficult to match. The subject matter of the story has inspired generations of writers to believe that fly fishing can be literature. More than any of his stories, it depends on his ‘iceberg theory’ of literature, the notion that leaving essential parts of a story unsaid, the underwater portion of the iceberg, adds to its power. Taken in context with his other work, it marks Hemingway’s passage from boyish writer to accomplished author: nothing big came before it, novels and stories poured out after it. —from the foreword by John N. MacleanImpatience Is a Virtue
Par Eve Morton. 2023
After Marshall gets a medical residency across the state and hours away from his boyfriend Jack, the two decide on…
a long-distance relationship. This arrangement works, more or less. Marshall isn’t the best with texting and his time is often scattered, but so is Jack’s when he’s working double-shifts at Target. When they connect over Skype and text messages, it’s good.And when they don’t, Jack finds other ways to keep their relationship interesting and the excitement present. But when Black Friday forces both of them to work hectic schedules and deal with impatient crowds, Jack soon wonders if spending Thanksgiving apart was really a good idea.During the massive Black Friday event, Jack's coworkers amuse him with customer service horror stories, take selfies which go viral online, and rewrite traditional Christmas songs. It’s fun, but even their friendships seem strained under the holiday season. As Marshall's text messages become less and less frequent, Jack wonders if the two of them will be able to wait out the three weeks and six days until they can see one another over Christmas break.When everyone tells Jack patience is a virtue, he starts to realize the faulty argument at its core. Being quiet has never gotten him anything in his life. But maybe, if he can learn from these bossy customers just how to voice his own desires -- he could have Marshall home and all to himself.The Food of the Gods (Hesperus Classics)
Par H. G. Wells. 1904
Published in 1904, this forgotten classic is sci-fi and dystopia at its best, written by the creator and master of…
the genreFollowing extensive research in the field of "growth," Mr. Bensington and Professor Redwood light upon a new mysterious element, a food that causes greatly accelerated development. Initially christening their discovery "The Food of the Gods," the two scientists are overwhelmed by the possible ramifications of their creation. Needing room for experiments, Mr. Besington chooses a farm that offers him the chance to test on chickens, which duly grow monstrous, six or seven times their usual size. With the farmer, Mr. Skinner, failing to contain the spread of the Food, chaos soon reigns as reports come in of local encounters with monstrous wasps, earwigs, and rats. The chickens escape, leaving carnage in their wake. The Skinners and Redwoods have both been feeding their children the compound illicitly—their eventual offspring will constitute a new age of giants. Public opinion rapidly turns against the scientists and society rebels against the world's new flora and fauna. Daily life has changed shockingly and now politicians are involved, trying to stamp out the Food of the Gods and the giant race. Comic and at times surprisingly touching and tragic, Wells' story is a cautionary tale warning against the rampant advances of science but also of the dangers of greed, political infighting, and shameless vote-seeking.¿A qué suena la felicidad?

Par Eleanor H. Porter, Anne Fine. 2014
One of the all-time classics of children's literature, a feel-good book full of enthusiasm and exuberance, and a perfect family…
read"There is something about everything that you can be glad about, if you keep hunting long enough to find it."When Pollyanna Whittier's father dies she is sent to live with her Aunt Polly in Vermont. A clash of personalities ensues as Pollyanna's sunny disposition sits ill with her aunt's need for quiet, her passion for shutting windows, and her obsession with quietly shut doors. The key to Pollyanna's happiness is The Glad Game—originally invented to deal with disappointing missionary boxes—and is applied to all parts of life. No matter how dark the situation, it is always possible to find something to be glad about. Any attempts to discipline the child fail helplessly in the face of The Glad Game. A bread and milk supper in the kitchen is greeted with rapture; a puritan attic bedroom with sparse furnishing is valued for its rapturous views. As Pollyanna becomes acquainted with other inhabitants of the town, the cantankerous residents fall victim to her charms. However, the arrival of a motor car in town heralds a tragic change which not even Pollyanna looks likely to be able to overcome. This timeless classic has spawned many spin-off novels and films.
