by Pierre Choderlos de LaclosUn duelo libertino entre dos miembros de la nobleza francesa en una obra cumbre de la literatura europea del siglo XVIII En esta novela episolar ambientada en las postrimerías del siglo XVIII francés, dos aristócratas sin escrúpulos, la marquesa de Merteuil y el vizconde de Valmont, forjan una alianza para convertir la seducción en un juego cruel. El objetivo inmediato será pervertir a una respetable viuda, a una quinceañera recién salida del pensionado y a su joven pretendiente. Sin embargo, los tejemanejes de Merteuil y de Valmont acabarán revelando más que su afición al escándalo. Conforme aparezcan las voces de los demás personajes, se pondrán en evidencia las dobleces de toda una sociedad, así como los peligros universales que comporta la pasión amorosa. Considerada una de las mejores novelas sentimentales de la literatura francesa, Las amistades peligrosas es también uno de los libros más descarados, divertidos y cautivadores de toda la literatura europea. La crítica ha dicho:«Si este libro arde, arde como solo el hielo puede arder».Charles Baudelaire «Las amistades peligrosas, en resumen, conforma una mitología».André Malraux

Amity Street
by Kitty Burns FloreyAmity Street continues the story that began in New Haven in 1856, chronicled in The Writing Master. It is now the year 1892. Anna Felice, a wealthy former opera star, travels from Rome, Italy, to America--Manhattan, New Haven, finally Amherst, Massachusetts--in search of the truth about her family history. In Amherst, she encounters George Mullen, who holds the key to her past; Hazel Cooper, the writing master's daughter, who is trying to chart the precarious course of her future; and Hazel's cousin, the eccentric, enigmatic Davey Chillick, whose placid existence is about to take a startling turn. And much to Anna's surprise, as she learns the shocking facts about her background, she begins to fall in love with a little country town and the people in it. The scope of the novel includes the social and political upheavals of the 1890s--among them the suffrage movement, the Rational Dress Society, and the conventions of courtship. It also encompasses the taming of a hawk, the right way to train a voice, the making of rhubarb wine, and--most of all--the many ways to define what we call home. Reflecting the author's affection for Victorian novels, New England history, and the towns and landscapes of Western Massachusetts, Amity Street is a thoughtful and compelling examination of a memorable cast of characters and the changing world in which they struggle to live their tumultuous lives.

AMLO: Vida privada de un hombre público
by Jaime Avilés"Esta obra --afirma el autor-- podrá cambiar la intención de voto de quienes la lean. También podría alterar el criterio de quienes piensan que no votar es lo más adecuado para un país destrozado como el nuestro." Dividido en dos partes ("AMLO" y "El dolor social"), en las que Avilés retrata tanto la vida privada del político tabasqueño como su vida pública --su infancia en Tepetitán, sus años de estudiante, su trabajo con los indígenas chontales, su primera candidatura al gobierno de Tabasco--, AMLO: Vida privada de un hombre público ofrece diversos elementos para que los lectores se forjen una opinión más profunda del candidato presidencial de la izquierda en nuestro país. Más allá de lo anterior, esta obra permite el contraste entre López Obrador y los demás contendientes por la Presidencia de la República. Así, abre una faceta distinta, conocida sólo por gente cercana a él como el propio Avilés, "y que no le hará daño conocer a la gente que la televisión llenó de odio contra AMLO..." No se trata de un libro complaciente, pues a través de un recorrido por los pasajes más relevantes de la trayectoria política de López Obrador, el autor da forma a una historia humana, que también está hecha de altibajos y traspiés. En suma, estamos frente al testimonio de un cronista que nos acerca a la vida de un hombre para que el lector lo mire tal cual es. Fue conductora también del programa Nuestra Casa, al lado de Talina Fernández, Mariana Levy, Jorge Muñiz y Carmen Muñoz, y encabezó la conducción del proyecto Futbol Fantástico. En marzo de 2004 participó en la tercera edición del reality show Big Brother VIP. En mayo de 2005 entró como conductora de la sección de espectáculos del noticiario El cristal con que se mira, que conduce Víctor Trujillo. Actualmente participa en el programa La Oreja a lado de 'Pepillo' Origel y Aurora Valle.
