A Hiss Before Dying: A Mrs. Murphy Mystery (Mrs. Murphy #26)
by Rita Mae BrownRita Mae Brown and her feline co-author Sneaky Pie Brown are back chasing mystery with their unique circle of Southern sleuths. And though the changing colors of fall are a beauty to behold, this year the scattered leaves hide a grim surprise. Autumn is in the air in the Blue Ridge Mountain community of Crozet, Virginia—and all the traditions of the changing seasons are under way. Mary Minor “Harry” Haristeen cleans her cupboards, her husband, Fair, prepares the horses for the shorter days ahead, and the clamorous barking of beagles signals the annual rabbit chase through the central Virginia hills. But the last thing the local beaglers and their hounds expect to flush out is a dead body. Disturbingly, it’s the second corpse to turn up, after that of a missing truck driver too disfigured to identify. The deaths seem unrelated—until Harry picks up a trail of clues dating back to the state’s post-Revolutionary past. The echoes of the Shot Heard Round the World pale in comparison to the dangerous shootout Harry narrowly escapes unscathed. Next time, it may be the killer who gets lucky. But not if Harry’s furry friends Mrs. Murphy, Pewter, and Tucker can help it. Lending their sharp-nosed talents to the hunt, they’ll help their mistress keep more lives from being lost—and right an injustice buried since the early days of America’s independence.“As feline collaborators go, you couldn’t ask for better than Sneaky Pie Brown.”—The New York Times Book Review

La historia de mi pureza
by Francesco PacificoLa historia de un antihéroe contemporáneo, un joven que nada a contracorriente y que, en su enfrentamiento con el mundo, hace suyos muchos de los grandes temas de nuestra época. La aclamada segunda novela del escritor italiano Francesco Pacifico, ya calificado como uno de los de mayor talento de su generación, es de las que dejan huella en el lector gracias al estilo refinado y lleno de frescura y humor con que el autor ha delineado al protagonista de la historia, un personaje deliciosamente imperfecto y contradictorio, todo un antihéroe que desarma por la complejidad de sus argumentos y su obstinación por nadar a contracorriente y enfrentarse con el mundo que lo rodea. Piero Rosini es el más joven de cuatro hermanos de una acomodada familia romana. Su padre es un hombre culto y liberal, sus hermanos viven sin ningún tipo de privaciones, y su hermana es una escritora muy respetada en los cenáculos literarios progresistas. Todo lo contrario de Piero, quien, militante del catolicismo conservador más intransigente, ha escogido una vida llena de sacrificios, desde el exiguo sueldo en la editorial religiosa donde trabaja hasta la renuncia a las comodidades de la vida burguesa y los placeres del sexo. Así pues, nada parece apartar a Piero de su camino de virtud hasta que, una noche, su mirada se clava en los virginales senos de su cuñada Ada, ejemplo vivo de castidad, imagen que desencadenará una obsesión potencialmente desquiciante. Al mismo tiempo, su última apuesta editorial, un ensayo muy provocador sobre el Papa Juan Pablo II, añadirá a su vida una tensión que le resultará casi insoportable y lo llevará a refugiarse nada menos que en París, capital de todos los vicios, donde una serie de nuevas amistades lo obligarán a cuestionarse sus férreas convicciones, con inesperadas y profundas consecuencias. Reseñas:«Una original novela de descubrimiento del mundo que se desmarca de las últimas tendencias de la narrativa italiana de los autores menores de cuarenta.»D La repubblica delle donne «Piero Rosini es el extraordinario protagonista de La historia de mi pureza, una novela rica y sorprendente, aguda y libre, cargada de historias e incluso audaz por los temas que trata y la profunda ligereza con que los afronta.»Rolling Stone «Páginas rebosantes de excitación y de imágenes y discusiones paradójicas, puñetazos ciegos al mundo laico, una especie de hilarante Club de la Lucha contra la flácida modernidad que va camino del ocaso definitivo. [...] Todo discurre manteniendo el equilibrio entre la farsa y la teología, con acrobacias deslumbrantes.»Marco Lodoli, La Repubblica «Francesco Pacifico posee un horizonte hiperliterario tanto clásico como experimental, pero ello no va en detrimento de la capacidad fabuladora de su libro, al contrario.»Vogue «Uno de los escritores más dotados de su generación y ciertamente uno de los pocos que se toman en serio la escritura. Para él, cada frase, por utilizar la famosa fórmula flaubertiana, debe ser una perla en el gran collar de la narración [...]. Esto es lo que se llama estilo.»Alessandro Piperno, Vanity Fair

Una historia importante
by Ava CleytonUna historia importante, una comedia de ficción romántica de Ava Cleyton, donde los personajes son casi tan reales como te imaginas. Había una vez un país muy cercano en el que vivían una reina muy guapa y un político superatractivo. La reina se llamaba Alicia y el político Piero. Antes de vivir en palacio, Alicia residía en un pisito muy cuqui de plebeya. Pero al encontrar a su príncipe ¿azul? su mundo cambió irremediablemente. Se olvidó de poner lavadoras, ir al supermercado, salir con los amigos y los vaqueros rotos. Piero era el candidato de moda. Un hombre idealista que ingenuamente creía en la democracia, la igualdad y la fraternidad. Una mañana Alicia y Piero se encuentran en un plató de televisión y su atracción sexual es tan fuerte que no pueden evitar encerrarse en el baño a desfogar una pasión tan sobrevenida como auténtica. ¿Qué pasará ahora? ¿Recordará Alicia que tras los muros de palacio aún existe el amor o preferirá seguir viviendo su particular cuento de hadas sin complicaciones del alma? ¿Y Piero? ¿Será consciente del significado trascendental del encuentro casual con la soberana?

Historias curiosas de un mundo en cortocircuito
by Luca Giovanni CanevaEste volumen contiene una colección de ensayos breves o muy breves, con los temas más dispares, que provocan la sonrisa, el miedo, el asombro y a menudo la identificación. Describen un mundo contemporáneo con mil facetas y extraño, analizan personajes a veces fantásticos, muy a menudo familiares o parte integrante de la sociedad. Un hilo común une estos relatos del mundo en cortocircuito: una veta constante de ironía y grotesco, que hace de la lectura un viaje a un universo desorientador y curioso.
