Bastian
by Ramón L. MoralesLas dificultades que forman parte del reto de crecer: la impaciencia por descubrir algo nuevo y excitante, los tropiezos y desventuras típicos de la edad, la emoción inigualable del primer amor, la lealtad que se forja a base de sinceridad y compañerismo, las travesuras que perpetuamos entre risas y sueños.
Bastille contra los bibliotecarios malvados (Alcatraz contra los Bibliotecarios Malvados #Volumen 6)
by Brandon Sanderson Janci PattersonBastille contra los Bibliotecarios Malvados es la última entrega de Alcatraz contra los bibliotecarios malvados, la fabulosamente divertida serie de aventuras fantásticas middle grade apta para todos los públicos protagonizada por Alcatraz Smedry. Como caballero de Cristalia, yo, Bastille, juré proteger al clan Smedry de los Bibliotecarios Malvados. (Y creedme, incluso los mequetrefes como ellos necesitan que alguien los proteja). Pero cuando ataron a Alcatraz Smedry a un altar de enciclopedias desactualizadas para ofrecerlo como sacrificio a los dioses oscures, llegué demasiado tarde. Y su padre dio la vida por él. Ahora Alcatraz es un mar de lágrimas, así que me toca a mí liderar el ataque contra el asesino de su padre: Biblioden, fundador de los Bibliotecarios Malvados (¡creía que llevaba siglos muerto!). Biblioden ha regresado para llevar a término su plan y conseguir dominar todo el mundo. Va a utilizar los poderes oscuros que ha obtenido con el sacrificio del padre de Alcatraz para doblegar a cualquiera que no esté bajo el control de los Bibliotecarios Malvados. Morir quemado no entra dentro de mis planes, así que más me vale dar con un plan para pararle los pies. Sé que Alcatraz se equivoca cuando dice que no es un héroe, pero, cuando un héroe no está a la altura, es el momento de que el resto demos un paso adelante y hagamos lo que haga falta. ¡El desenlace de la serie middle grade de los autores número 1 del New York Times Brandon Sanderson y Janci Patterson! Reseñas:«Brandon Sanderson es una leyenda.»Alexelcapo, @EvilAFM «Una excelente opción para leer en voz alta a toda la familia. Divertida, emocionante y con un ritmo trepidante.»Nancy Pearl, del programa Morning Edition de NPR.
Bastille vs. the Evil Librarians (Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians #6)
by Brandon Sanderson Janci PattersonNow a USA TODAY Bestseller! Now a New York Times Bestseller!From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson and Janci Patterson comes Bastille vs. the Evil Librarians, the thrilling conclusion to the Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians saga.As a Knight of Crystallia, I, Bastille, swore to protect the Smedry clan from the Evil Librarians. (And believe me, screwups like them constantly need protecting.) But when Alcatraz Smedry got strapped to an altar of outdated encyclopedias to be sacrificed to the dark gods, I arrived too late—and instead his father took his place.Now Alcatraz is a blubbering mess, so it’s up to me to lead the charge against his father’s killer: Biblioden, founder of the Evil Librarians—I was sure he died centuries ago!—who’s back to complete his goal of world domination. Now he’s going to use the dark powers he gained from that sacrifice against everyone not under Evil Librarian control. Being burned up from the inside is not how I plan to die, so I’d better figure out some way to stop him or we’re toast!I know Alcatraz is wrong when he swears he’s no hero. But when a hero falls short, that’s the time for everyone else to step up and do what needs to be done.Other Tor books by Brandon Sanderson The Cosmere The Stormlight Archive The Way of Kings Words of Radiance Edgedancer (Novella) Oathbringer Dawnshard (Novella) Rhythm of War The Mistborn trilogy Mistborn: The Final Empire The Well of Ascension The Hero of Ages Mistborn: The Wax and Wayne series Alloy of Law Shadows of Self Bands of Mourning The Lost Metal Collection Arcanum Unbounded Other Cosmere novels Elantris Warbreaker The Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians series Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians The Scrivener's Bones The Knights of Crystallia The Shattered Lens The Dark Talent The Rithmatist series The Rithmatist Other books by Brandon Sanderson The Reckoners Steelheart Firefight CalamityAt the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
Bastina's Necklace
by Roscoe JamesThe Galactic League of Planets has a plan to save a dying world, but Princess Anleen and Captain Dirk Roberts have plans of their own! Join them in this rollicking adventure as they hunt for an ancient treasure and find more than either of them was looking for.The plan was simple. Evacuate the entire population of a planet orbiting around a dying sun to a terraformed world created just for them by the Galactic League of Planets. At least it was simple until Princess Anleen of Bastina decided the biggest and fastest space vessel ever built could be put to better use. She needed to recover the key to the ancient map. It didn't matter that the most important relic of the Bastinan people was the good luck charm of an earthling who fancied himself a pirate on the high seas of space and traded in only two things--gold and women. Fair maidens when possible. When Captain Dirk Roberts, ex-Corporate Space Fleet colonel, now independent space freight hauler--a man who doesn't always have his papers or his life in order--seeks safe haven at the doomed planet Aznate, he's only looking for a hot shower, a drink or three at the last spacer bar on the edge of known civilization, and repairs for his ship. What he finds instead is more intriguing than any tale of Blackbeard's adventures and more beguiling than the fair maiden Guinevere of Arthurian legend. From a hijacked ark to a plundered heart to the writing of the final Chapter in the ancient children's fairytale of the legend of Bastina, only Haark, the god of the Bastinan people, knows how the story will end... But that doesn't stop Princess Anleen from trying to rewrite it.

The beautiful Rhiannon, daughter of the Emerald Witch, has been captured by Mitchell and given over to his dark master. Now the last hope of defeating Thalasi -- and Rhiannon's last hope as well -- lies at the heart of a mountain, guarded by a dragon as old as the world itself. . .From the Paperback edition.
Bastion: Book Five of the Collegium Chronicles (A Valdemar Novel) (Valdemar: Collegium Chronicles #5)
by Mercedes LackeyMags returns to the Collegium, but there are mixed feelings--his included--about him actually remaining there. No one doubts that he is and should be a Herald, but he is afraid that his mere presence is going to incite more danger right in the heart of Valdemar. The heads of the Collegia are afraid that coming back to his known haunt is going to give him less protection than if he went into hiding. Everyone decides that going elsewhere is the solution for now. So since he is going elsewhere--why not return to the place he was found in the first place and look for clues? And those who are closest to him, and might provide secondary targets, are going along. With Herald Jadrek, Herald Kylan (the Weaponsmaster's chosen successor), and his friends Bear, Lena, and Amily, they head for the Bastion, the hidden spot in the hills that had once been the headquarters of a powerful band of raiders that had held him and his parents prisoner. But what they find is not what anyone expected.
Basura
by Héctor Abad FaciolinceUna historia de Héctor Abad Faciolince. Esta es la historia de una intromisión intolerable: el narrador tienecasualmente acceso a los relatos que Davanzati, su vecino ex novelista,va arrojando a la basura tan pronto han sido escritos. Desde entonces seconvertirá en lector obsesivo de unos textos que, entre losdesperdicios, conforman la galería de estilos de un escritor que trabajapara nadie, y tras de los que se intuye una existencia curiosa y dedifícil reconstrucción.Las relaciones entre escritura y lectura, vida yliteratura vistas desde un prisma completamente novedoso: los excesos yviolaciones que comete todo lector.
Basura y otros poemas
by A.R. AmmonsLa obra de uno de los mayores poetas estadounidenses del siglo XX traducida por primera vez en España. En este volumen reunimos, por una parte, Basura, un portentoso poema largo, una verdadera épica de las ideas y acerca de la relación del hombre con la materia, y, por otro, una selección de sus mejores poemas breves, de tal modo que la magnitud y la ambición del poeta quedan justamente representadas. Las traducciones de Daniel Aguirre y de Marcelo Cohen, así como los textos que las acompañan, suponen la cabal presentación en el ámbito hispánico de un poeta esencial de nuestro tiempo. A.R. Ammons es uno de los grandes poetas norteamericanos del siglo XX. Junto a John Ashbery, es sin duda uno de los pocos que supieron seguir con valentía el camino abierto por Wallace Stevens, su antecesor más cercano. Reseña:«Ammons se presenta como el poeta del intransigente control geométrico de la Tierra sobre los hombres. Tuvo que aprender a ser distinto de lo que era y regresar de nuevo a los orígenes, con una exigencia musical siempre mayor. El canon de la poesía estadounidense lo insertará en la tradición quizá más profundamente de lo que él pretendía.» Harold Bloom
Basura: Cultures of Waste in Contemporary Spain (Under the Sign of Nature)
by Samuel AmagoWhat makes trash trash? How do we decide what to throw away? Driven by these questions and others, Samuel Amago takes us through the streets and alleys of Spain, sorting through recycling bins, libraries, social media, bookstores, and message boards in search of things that have been forgotten, jettisoned, forsaken. Ranging in topic from the transformation of urban space during the transition to democracy to a twenty-first-century sanitation strike that paralyzed Madrid for weeks, from the films of Pedro Almodóvar to graphic novels about Spain’s housing crisis, Basura presents an alternative story of contemporary Spanish culture through the lens of wasted things.Not merely an environmental problem, the proliferation of trash is an indicator of the social, political, and economic processes that undergird late, neoliberal capitalism. In chapters on cinema, photography, archaeology, drawing, comics, literature, ecology, and urban design, Amago places waste objects into dialogue with the cultural practices and structures of power that have produced them. Drawing from archaeological, ecocritical, and new materialist approaches, Amago argues that discards possess agency and generate an array of effects. Just as trash never fully disappears but returns to haunt its creators, so history never vanishes despite being buried or ignored by official narratives. Basura considers the efforts of artists, writers, and designers for whom waste is a means to withstand cultural erasure.
