La caja del amor: La mecánica del corazón | La alargada sombra del amor | Metamorfosis en el cielo
by Mathias MalzieuUn pack de tres eBooks imprescindibles de Mathias Malzieu: La mecánica del corazón, La alargada sobra del amor y Metamorfosis en el cielo. La mecánica del corazón Imagina la noche más fría de la historia: La nieve cae sobre la ciudad de Edimburgo. En lo alto de una colina nace el pequeño Jack, pero su corazón está dañado. Y por eso necesitará reemplazarlo por un reloj de madera, un corazón artificial del que dependerá su vida.Acompañaremos a Jack en su aventura quijotesca desde las frías callejuelas escocesas hasta una radiante ciudad andaluza, en busca del amor. Pero ¡cuidado!, Jack debe seguir unas reglas para sobrevivir: Uno: no toques las agujas.Dos: domina tu cólera.Tres: no te enamores nunca. La mecánica del corazón depende de ello...Deseemos suerte a Jack, y recordemos que, como en este cuento para niños grandes, todos hemos sufrido alguna vez por nuestro voluble corazón. La alargada sombra del amor Mathias, un joven treintañero, acaba de perder a su madre. El período de duelo se cierne sobre él. Mientras espera en el parking del hospital a su padre y a su hermana, ocurre un hecho insólito. Un gigante se le aparece y le anuncia: «Soy el gigante Jack, doctor en sombrología. Trato a las personasaquejadas de duelo administrándoles un trozo de mi sombra. Conla sombra su puede batir el dolor y la muerte.» ¿Será Mathias capaz de vencer el dolor? ¿Evitará al abismo? ¿Somos nosotros mismos capaces de asumir la pérdida de un amor, un familiar o un amigo? Si no es así, el gigante Jack -un viejo conocido de los lectores- tiene la fórmula perfecta para todos. Metamorfosis en el cielo Todos tenemos sueños, y el del joven Tom «Hematoma» Cloudman es volar. Por eso es acróbata -algunos dicen que el peor acróbata del mundo- y especialista en escenas de riesgo, pues así se siente más cerca del cielo. Entre saltos y piruetas su cuerpo se desgasta, hasta que un día le detectan una grave enfermedad.Pero el destino de Tom no es el de cualquiera, y si le acompañamos veremos que poco después, en uno de sus paseos nocturnos por la clínica, conoce a una fascinante criatura, mitad mujer y mitad pájaro, de quien cae fulminantemente enamorado.¡Pobre Tom! Lo que no sabe es que esa criatura tiene la llave de su destino. La mujer pájaro le propone un trato: «Yo puedo convertirte en pájaro y curarte, aunque tienes que asumirtodas lasconsecuencias. Para activar tu metamorfosis, tienes que hacerme el amor.La metamorfosis del amor podría salvar tu vida. O no.» Si Tom es fiel a sus sentimientos, tendrá que dar un paso irreversible: transformarse y abandonar la vida humana por una nueva aventura... y es que, ¿en qué estamos dispuestos a convertirnos por amor? La crítica ha dicho...«La mecánica del corazón es una joya. Con este libro se siente el impulso de comprarlo de diez en diez ejemplares para poder regalarlo a nuestros seres queridos.»Philippe Manche, SOIR «Los consejos que alberga este libro [La alargada sombra del amorpueden convertirse en mantras para los lectores.»La Vanguardia «[Metamorfosis en el cielo es]no de los libros más cautivadores de la temporada.»El País

Carpe Jugulum: Wm Format (Mundodisco #Volumen 23)
by Terry PratchettUnos vampiros muy peculiares están a punto de apoderarse de Lancre, pero las tres brujas de este reino no están dispuestas a cruzarse de brazos. Una nueva aventura del Mundodisco. Veamos: si Carpe diem es «Aférrate al momento», entonces Carpe jugulum significa: «¡Directo a la yugular!». Un lema perfecto para el escudo de armas de la familia de vampiros que el rey Verence de Lancre ha invitado a la ceremonia de imposición de nombre de su hija recién nacida. Los Urrácula son vampyros modernos que han adaptado la ortografía para estar en consonancia con los nuevos tiempos. Aún mejor: han descubierto el poder del pensamiento positivo para rechazar cualquier intento de ser dominados, sojuzgados y exterminados. Inmunes a los ajos, las estacas y los símbolos religiosos, han salido del ataúd y quieren un bocado del futuro. Y el futuro empieza por Lancre. Pero el pequeño reino montañoso cuenta con buenas defensas: las brujas Yaya Ceravieja, Tata Ogg, Agnes y, aunque tenga que cambiar pañales entre hechizo y poción, la reina Magrat. Eso sin contar el ejército de hombrecillos azules que lleva un tiempo dando vueltas por la región. Reseña:«Un narrador brillante, con un sentido del humor tan contagioso que te atrapa por completo.»Mail on Sunday
