Donal Grant (The Cullen Collection #27)
by George MacDonaldA gothic thriller of good versus evil played out in the heart of a mysterious castle—the sequel to Sir Gibbie by the 19th-century Scottish author. As well as being MacDonald&’s longest book, the magnificent Donal Grant is a novel with everything—a Gothic castle with hidden rooms and passageways, good guys and bad guys, mysteries and inheritances, and poignant yet bittersweet love. Little does Gibbie&’s friend Donal realize what he is in for when he takes a tutoring job at mysterious Castle Graham. Woven throughout, of course, are many signature tunes of MacDonald&’s wisdom and spiritual insight, including one of C.S. Lewis&’s favorite MacDonald lines, that God is &“easy to please but hard to satisfy.&” Along with Malcolm, Donal Grant presents one of MacDonald&’s most intricate and riveting plots, led by another of his stellar characters of virtue and truth. Its massive length, however (786 pages in the original), difficult Scots dialect, and numerous digressive tangents, illustrate better than any MacDonald title the need for condensed contemporary editions. Donal Grant is unique in the MacDonald corpus as being originally released in two different editions in Great Britain and America. This updated edition by Michael Phillips, which Phillips ranks as one of his favorite MacDonald titles, epitomizes the value and significance of The Cullen Collection in bringing the fiction of George MacDonald alive for new generations.
Donde termina la noche
by Isabel CañasLa novela gótica mexicana se aúna con la mejor tradición de Rebeca en esta novela de suspense sobrenatural, ambientada en una remota hacienda durante los años de la guerra de independencia mexicana. El padre de Beatriz murió injustamente ajusticiado por alta traición y su hogar fue destruido. Cuando el atractivo Rodolfo Solórzano pide su mano, Beatriz decide ignorar los rumores que envuelven la muerte de su primera mujer y acepta sin dudarlo, convencida de que la seguridad económica y la posibilidad de alejarse de la ciudad y viajar hasta su rica hacienda en el campo, le harán olvidar la tragedia que ha vivido su familia. Pero la hacienda de San Isidro no es exactamente el refugio que había imaginado y cuando Rodolfo regresa a la capital y la deja sola en esa mansión aislada, las visiones y las voces empiezan a envolver a Beatriz, su sueño, su espacio, su vida. ¿Qué ocurrió realmente con la primera señora Solórzano? ¿Por qué la hermana de Rodolfo, Juana, se ríe de los miedos de Beatriz pero actúa de una manera tan extraña por la noche? Lo único de lo que Beatriz está segura es de que algo ocurre en la hacienda de San Isidro y que solo ella puede salvarse. La crítica ha dicho:«Un relato gótico de amor condenado y de espíritus vengativos.»The Washington Post «Cañas conoce claramente el género y el resultado es una brillante contribución a esta nueva generación de narrativa gótica poscolonial. Los lectores no deben perdérsela.»Publishers Weekly «Exuberante, hermosa, se merece absolutamente que la comparen con Rebeca. Una lectura esencial en este renacer del género gótico.»CrimeReads «Si te gusta el género gótico y te apetece una heroína con más potencia y una historia con garra, Donde termina la noche es el libro que estabas buscando.»Mystery
