Camelia la Texana
Par Diego Ramón Bravo. 2014
"This is a novel inspired by the main character in a well-known ballad by Los Tigres del Norte, a famous…

Sangre de Emanuel
Par Ted Dekker. 2011
"This story is for everyone--but not everyone is for this story. It is a dangerous tale of times past. A…
love story full of deep seduction. A story of terrible longing and bold sacrifice. Then as now, evil begins its courtship cloaked in light. And the heart embraces what it should flee. Forgetting it once had a truer lover. With a kiss, evil will ravage body, soul, and mind. Yet there remains hope, because the heart knows no bounds. Love will prove greater than lust. Sacrifice will overcome seduction. And blood will flow. Because the battle for the heart is always violently opposed. For those desperate to drink deep from this fountain of life, enter. But remember, not everyone is for this story." -- Goodreads¿En quién piensas cuando haces el amor? (Vintage español)
Par Homero Aridjis. 2011
"In these pages the author places himself after the end of the millennium and, with an apocalyptic tone, prophesies the…
evils that will befall a mythical Moctezuma city, a future metaphor for today's Mexico City, scene of frequent ecological disasters and capital of the end of the era of the Fifth Sun. Above the catastrophes and the difficulty of living in a city of such magnitude, the characters wander with their own burden of love and heartbreak, as happens to Luis Antonio with his sister-in-law María, identical twin of Rosalba, his deceased wife. Yo Sánchez uses theater as a lighting technique and is linked to the family of the protagonists. This is a dizzying play, loaded with irony and black humor, that carries the questioning of the human being in the megalopolis." -- Translation provided by NLSTercer mundo
Par Pedro Cabiya. 2019
"Orishas, saints, luases, demons and angels frolic in a fantastic Puerto Rico that only the fertile imagination of Pedro Cabiya…
could have conceived. Different ministries of the multiverse's administrative bureaucracy compete to recover the valuable extraterrestrial contraband abandoned in Santurce, capital of the Borikwa Republic.... But stealing the loot won't be as easy as they think. Political satire and cosmic parody combine in a web of espionage and action where the great questions of existence share space with the most profane humor, producing a novel that resists classification within the known genres, announcing a new one. Prequel to his immensely popular novel |Trance|, |Third World| promises, like its predecessor, a reading that is impossible to interrupt." -- Translation provided by NLSEl próximo año en la Habana
Par Chanel Cleeton. 2020

morning newspaper! When he sweeps his dirt floor, he can't seem to sweep away all of the dirt and ends up sweeping a hole into the center of his living room! And when Dragon goes grocery shopping, he buys more food than he can fit into his car!" -- GoodreadsEl libro de la fiebre (Libros del tiempo (Madrid, Spain) #329)
Par Carmen Martín Gaite. 2016
"In 1949, Carmen Martín Gaite suffered an episode of very high fevers that introduced her into a labyrinth of delirium…
and dreamlike images. Out of that experience came |The Fever Book|, a poetic, surrealist text, in which she tried to rescue the fleeting visions she had had. Her enthusiasm for publishing what she had written turned into disillusionment when she realized that the people around her did not value her work positively, and the text remained unpublished almost in its entirety, kept in the "writer's workshop," as an example of fantastic writing in its infancy. In 2007, after Martín Gaite's death, this first essay of hers was published, in which we can glimpse many of the themes that the author from Salamanca developed in her later work: the symbolism of objects and places, the blurred boundaries between dream and reality, the construction of the self through memory, the reflection on writing.... All these motifs refer us to her narrative world, and allow the unconditional reader to peek into the beginnings of one of the great authors of the Spanish twentieth century." -- Translation provided by NLS; Spanish LanguageWayward witch (Brooklyn Brujas series.

Par Ted Dekker. 2010
"At the close of World War II, a shell-shocked soldier, Jan Jovic, was forced to inflict a game of life…
and death on a peaceful Bosnian community. In a few short hours, this young man was confronted by more love-and hate-than most experience in a lifetime. Years later, Jan has become a world-renowned writer with widespread influence in the United States, his past buried deep in his memory. Until, at the most inopportune time, the game Jan witnessed comes back to haunt him . . . and unwittingly leads him to a beautiful broken woman caught in an underworld of crime. Jan must now defeat an evil rarely seen. But there is a price. One that even this war-scarred soldier can't imagine." -- Amazon.comLa raíz del mal (Trilogía del Malamor #02)
Par José Ignacio Valenzuela. 2022
"Angela has decided to listen to her heart. She has decided to stay in Almahue to love Fabian without fear,…
without the curse of Malamor on her shoulders. Fabian will no longer have to resort to those concoctions that only momentarily relieved the terrible pains that the spell (now just a bad memory) provoked in the lovers. A miraculous recovery of the tree, that tree that every day dried up a little more, seems to announce that Almahue will finally be able to continue his story in peace and tranquility. However, a mysterious stranger appears in the picture and there is something about her that is tremendously disturbing. Perhaps the time has come for Rayen to take revenge. She is eager to take action.... Will she be able to destroy Almahue to keep the promise she made many, many years ago in front of the church where Ernesto betrayed his promise to love her until the end of time? Will she also end the love story between Angela and Fabian?" -- Translation provided by NLSEl árbol de la vida (Trilogía del Malamor #03)
Par José Ignacio Valenzuela. 2022
"The third book of the Malamor Trilogy concludes the stories of Angela, Rayen and the peculiar village of Almahue and…
its hapless inhabitants, condemned to suffer from the curse of Malamor. With the village destroyed by a devastating earthquake and Fabián at the bottom of the earth, Ángela will go underground because she has decided that, although her life will be spent trying to rescue her lover from the bottom of the earth, she will never again allow disgrace or misfortune to separate them. Perhaps times have changed and that tree in the center of Almahue's square, a symbol of bad love, now lies as a corpse of branches and roots as dry as the sands of a desert. That can only herald a transformation, the end of an era. The time has also come for explanations, and Rosa will reveal something of that past that she jealously guards: a new legend. And Angela will have to find the strength to confront Rayén and the Decapitator in a journey through time and Chilean geography." -- Translation provided by NLSHacia el fin del mundo (Trilogía del Malamor #01)
