Las tres caras de la luna
by Sally GardnerStandish Treadwell es un héroe poco común. Es joven y disléxico. Y, sin embargo, es el único capaz de desenmascarar la gran mentira que prepara el gobierno... En Patria no se canta En Patria todo es sombra En Patria se premia a los delatores y desaparece sin dejar rastro cualquier enemigo. Sus habitantes viven bajo el yugo del opresivo y despiadado régimen dictatorial que controla y dirige cada uno de sus pasos, están acostumbrados a hablar entre susurros, a recelar de los vecinos, a los continuos cortes de luz, y ya ni se asustan cuando oyen el toque de queda. En Patria, la fantasía es la única vía de escape. Pero Standish no se rinde, sabe que más allá de las infranqueables y herméticas fronteras de su país, tiene que existir otro mundo, un mundo donde la libertad y la verdad no sean solo sueños imposibles sino una maravillosa realidad. «Por un lado están los que piensan linealmente, y por otro lado estás tú, que eres como un golpe de brisa en el parque de la imaginación.» Reseñas:«Hermoso, sobrecogedor, deslumbrante.

TRIDENTE, EL (EBOOK)
by Diego SasturainEn El Tridente, de Diego Sasturain, la primera persona atrapa y conduce por el desfiladero de temas: el misterio, la locura, las sectas. Temas que proyectan otros: el delirio, la digresión, un secreto. Constancias del vuelo de la imaginación se convierten, gracias al autor, en ejemplos presocráticos. Todo se desprende con timidez y una rara hondura, una especie de honestidad vocal, en este relato de peripecias descansadas. A poco de ir acumulando afirmaciones, se empieza a sentir la magia. La magia la establecen la introspección y una inteligencia que se ha puesto en marcha. Una inteligencia muy atenta: no quiere deslumbrar, quiere abrirse paso, ir conociéndose de a ratos, reírse, aprender a hacer un asado. El narrador ya ha sabido pasarle la pelota al protagonista. Lo deja solo frente a la parrilla. Sabe cómo cada pedacito de tradición le juega a favor, y los descarta. Después, divirtiéndose con la circunstancia, empieza a cocinar la carne. Con esa misma perfecta vocación, con ese mismo elegante desgano, Diego Sasturain ha escrito esta novela extraordinaria.
The Trigger
by Arthur C. Clarke Michael Kube-McDowellA &“thought-provoking, suspenseful&” political sci-fi thriller from the authors of 2001: A Space Odyssey and Star Wars: The Black Fleet Crisis (Library Journal). In the near future, a team of scientists who intend to create an anti-gravity device inadvertently develop something far more powerful—a mechanism that can render guns and bombs virtually harmless. Their creation, &“The Trigger,&” causes nitrate-based bombs and explosives to detonate automatically. The idealistic scientists who envision the benevolent use of their great invention soon discover that even protective weaponry comes with its own moral trade-offs. Soon, every faction of the gun industry is involved—politicians, manufacturers, lobbyist, military—and the scientists must fight to keep the weapon out of violent hands. While negotiating this tricky territory, they realize that not even those with the best intentions can be trusted. There are no easy answers in this thriller that &“lend[s] the familiar issue of gun control new urgency and excitement&” (Publishers Weekly).

But the task of determining who has switched memories with whom is a daunting one--particularly when some of the people involved have reason to lie...

A Trip to Venus
by John MunroProf. John Munro (1849-1930) was the author of Heroes of the Telegraph (1891), The Story of Electricity (1896) and A Trip to Venus (1897). "In plain English, at 4 a. m., a ray of light had been observed on the disc of the planet Mars in or near the "terminator"; that is to say, the zone of twilight separating day from night. The news was doubly interesting to me, because a singular dream of "Sunrise in the Moon" had quickened my imagination as to the wonders of the universe beyond our little globe, and because of a never-to-be-forgotten experience of mine with an aged astronomer several years ago."
Trolls
by Brian Froud Wendy FroudThe internationally acclaimed artists & authors are your personal guides to the enchanted world of Trolls in this book of troll tales and culture. Not since Brian Froud&’s conceptual design work with Jim Henson on the classic films The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth has he created a faerie world with such imagination, dimension, depth, and detail. Trolls opens a new realm in the celebrated faerie worlds of famed artists Brian and Wendy Froud, renowned for their vast and personal knowledge of faeries, goblins, and other folk. Through their art, sculptures, and stories, the Frouds take you on a wonderous adventure into the world of trolls. Trolls live through the telling of tales and the passing on of stories, weaving them together, then letting them flow separately again, as streams, rivers, tree roots, and branches do. Stories, as they are collected, are tied to a troll&’s tail: &“A tale for the asking, the giving, the keeping.&” Trolls includes stories of stone and bone, wood and feather, along with tale fragments, snippets of stories to be told in full down the road or ones that have been lost and are to be remembered again. Interspersed among the stories are troll customs, philosophies, and practices: How many kinds of trolls are there? Where do they live, and what do they like to eat? Why do some trolls father together while others seek solitude? Troll lore is interwoven with a vast treasure of artifacts and symbols of their world, from the wind knot to the Petrified Parsnip Poetry Pen, from the witch&’s cursing bundle to the elusive Earthling Gift. Your journey through Trolls will reveal many mysteries, wonder, and enchantments, and there are no better guides for your adventure than Brian and Wendy Froud.
