Berserk Volume 5 (Berserk #5)
by Kentaro MiuraHe is Guts, the Black Swordsman, a warrior of legendary prowess — relentless, fearless, merciless. As cold and brutal as the iron of the massive sword he wields.

But Griffith was once a man, the leader of the Hawks, a renowned cadre of elite fighters with a young Guts as its fiercest champion. Though forged in a crucible of cruelty and violence, nothing could prepare Guts for a confrontation with Nosferatu Zodd, a superhuman beast who slaughters Guts’ comrades as easily as a scythe cuts wheat. Even Guts and Griffith are no match for the abomination’s power...but something Griffith wears around his neck may well be!
Berserk Volume 6 (Berserk #6)

While in a king’s employ, the attraction between the king’s daughter and Griffith and the growing favor of the king towards the Hawk leader raises the hackles of the king’s jealous son, who plots to have Griffith summarily assassinated.

The Hawks' ferocity, courage, and fearsome skills - not to mention Guts' enormous broadsword - are just what Midland needs to turn the bloody tide, but during the fray, Guts and Griffith's most trusted lieutenant, Casca, fall together from a cliff into a raging river. Miraculously, both barely survive, and Guts tends to Casca's wounds as she tells of having her life saved by Griffith, her induction into the Band of the Hawk, and her deep feelings toward Griffith. She even seems to finally be warming up to the grim Guts. But this greeting-card moment won't last long, for Chuder warriors are on the prowl, and the only greetings they carry are on the points of their spears!

Berta Isla
by Javier MaríasMEJOR LIBRO DEL AÑO SEGÚN BABELIA (EL PAÍS)Seleccionado entre los mejores libros del año en ABC Cultural y La VanguardiaRecomendado entre los libros del año por El Periódico y La Razón Un día cualquiera, «un día estúpido», condicionará el resto de su existencia.La envolvente y apasionante historia de una espera. «Durante un tiempo no estuvo segura de si su marido era su marido. A veces creía que sí, a veces creía que no, y a veces decidía no creer nada y seguir viviendo su vida con él, o con aquel hombre semejante a él, mayor que él. Pero también ella se había hecho mayor por su cuenta, en su ausencia, era muy joven cuando se casó. » Muy jóvenes se conocieron Berta Isla y Tomás Nevinson en Madrid, y muy pronta fue su determinación de pasar la vida juntos, sin sospechar que los aguardaba una convivencia intermitente y después una desaparición. Tomás, medio español y medio inglés, es un superdotado para las lenguas y los acentos, y eso hace que, durante sus estudios en Oxford, la Corona ponga sus ojos en él. Un día cualquiera, «un día estúpido» que se podría haber ahorrado, condicionará el resto de su existencia, así como la de su mujer. Berta Isla es la envolvente y apasionante historia de una espera y de una evolución, la de su protagonista. También de la fragilidad y la tenacidad de una relación amorosa condenada al secreto y a la ocultación, al fingimiento y a la conjetura, y en última instancia al resentimiento mezclado con la lealtad. O, como dice una cita de Dickens hacia el final del libro, es la muestra de que «cada corazón palpitante es un secreto para el corazón más próximo, el que dormita y late a su lado». Y es también la historia de quienes quieren parar desgracias e intervenir en el universo, para acabar encontrándose desterrados de él. Reseñas:«Una novela maravillosa. [...]Berta Isla recuerda por qué la ficción, en manos de sus mejores practicantes, sigue siendo la única forma de conocernos cabalmente.»Juan Gabriel Vásquez, Babelia «Marías ha dado una extraordinaria vuelta de tuerca a su propia obra, alcanzando una precisión, y emoción, y misterio, como hoy uno no encuentra en buena parte de sus contemporáneos. Soberbia.»Fernando R. Lafuente, ABC Cultural «Marías ha forjado una obra maestra [...]. La gran literatura vuelve a estar escrita en español, para privilegio nuestro.»José María Pozuelo Yvancos, ABC Cultural «Creo que Berta Isla es una de las mejores -quizá la mejor- novelas de Marías. [...] Admiro su capacidad para ahondar en lo más recóndito del ser humanoJulia Navarro, ABC Cultural «Berta Isla es una de las más complejas y atrevidas novelas del autor y, sin duda, la más inquietante y desolada.»José-Carlos Mainer, Babelia «La autenticidad, sumada al talento narrativo, es una de las grandes virtudes de Marías. Berta Isla es un magnífico ejemplo.»J. A. Masoliver Ródenas, La Vanguardia «Lo que cabe en Berta Isla somos nosotros. Aquello que nos impulsa y que nos duele. Lo que no sabemos, pero sospechamos.»Antonio Lucas, El Mundo «De nuevo Javier Marías ha fraguado una novela excepcional. Como instalado en una altísima cota de calidad literaria, el talento del escritor no desfallece ni se conforma con los caminos ya explorados.»Domingo Ródenas, El Periódico «Berta Isla es uno de los mejores personajes femeninos creados por Javier Marías y uno de los mejores también de la última narrativa contemporánea.»Ovidio Parades, Huffington Post «Berta Isla es una obra maestra. [...] Proporciona al lector un placer sublime, una exquisita complicidadre
Berta Isla: A novel
by Javier MaríasFrom the award-winning, internationally best-selling Spanish writer, author of The Infatuations, comes a gripping new novel of intrigue and missed chances--at once a spy story and a profound examination of a marriage founded on secrets and lies.When Berta Isla was a schoolgirl, she decided she would marry Tomás Nevinson--the dashing half-Spanish, half-English boy in her class with an extraordinary gift for languages. But when Tomás returns to Madrid from his studies at Oxford, he is a changed man. Unbeknownst to her, he has been approached by an agent from the British intelligence services, and he has unwittingly set in motion events that will derail forever the life they had planned. With peerless insight into the most shadowed corners of the human soul, Marías plunges the reader into the growing chasm between Berta and Tomás and the decisions that irreversibly change the course of the couple's fate. Berta Isla is a novel of love and truth, fear and secrecy, buried identities, and the destinies we bring upon ourselves.
