by Iñaki Zabaleta UrkilaEuskal literaturaren historian libururik aipatu beharko balitz, irakurleen arreta eta harrera ona lortu dituena, 110. Street-eko geltokia izan liteke bat, zalantzarik gabe. Izan ere, 1985ean kaleratu zenetik, hogeitaka argitaraldi izan ditu, 50.000 ale saldu dira guztira, urtero pizten du irakurle berrien interesa, eta film bat ere egin dute nobela honexetan oinarrituta: Menos que cero.Zer du liburu honek horrelako arrakasta bereganatzeko? Trama ongi josia, giro erakargarriak, pertsonaia sinesgarri eta maitagarriak?<P><P> Asko dira istorioaren dohainak, baina onena bertan sartzea izango duzu: hor deskubrituko dituzu, New Yorkeko metroan, Joseba eta Angie, ihesi dabilen nafarra eta publizitatean lan egiten duen Manhattango neska, bi mundu guztiz desberdin baina ustekabean lotuko direnak. Tartean, berriz, droga, amodioa? eta eleberri eder batek behar dituen osagai guztiak.<P> Liburuaren historia labur bat eginez, 1983an idatzi zuen Iñaki Zabaletak, New York-en bertan, bere ikasketak osatzen zebilela. 1985ean kaleratu zuen Susa argitaletxeak eta hiru argitaraldi egin zituen guztira. 1988an Elkar-en atera zen, eta 2003ko iraileko hauxe da etxe honek egindako 25. argitaraldia. Hori dela-eta, edizio berezi bat egin nahi izan dugu: testua osorik berritu da (Euskaltzaindiak azken 15 urteotan emandako gomendioei jarraituz, eta esaldi batzuk hobetzeko ere bai, zenbait kasutan), hainbat zati gehitu ditu egileak han-hemen, lehenengo edizioan zeuden New Yorkeko metroko irudiak berreskuratu ditugu, eta, hauxe litzateke nobedade esanguratsuena, epilogo polit bezain originala erantsi dio Zabaletak bere lanari. Hau guztia kontuan hartuta, espero dugu berriz leitzera animatzen diren irakurle zaharrek lehengo atsegina berritzea, eta lehenengoz hurbiltzen direnek literatura maitaraziko dien deskubrimendu ederra egitea

by Debbie MacomberDear Reader,You've probably heard that my wife has left me. Rachel's pregnant, and she says she can't handle the stress in our household anymore. My thirteen-year-old daughter, Jolene, is jealous of her. Maybe it's my fault. As a widower I spoiled her-Jolene was reading over my shoulder just now and says that's not true. She claims Rachel ruined everything. But that's not true. The real question is: How can I get my wife back? I don't even know where she is. She's not with Teri Polgar or any of her other friends from the salon. The other question is...when will Jolene grow up and stop acting like such a brat? Of course, I'm not the only one in town with problems. Linc Wyse's father-in-law is trying to destroy his business. And you know Charlotte Rhodes? Seems she's becoming forgetful, and the family's worried about her and Ben. Lots of other stuff going on-but Rachel is better at keeping up with it than I am.If you have any idea where my wife is, give me a call. Please.Bruce Peyton

12.21
by Dustin ThomasonFrom the co-author of the two-million copy mega-bestseller The Rule of Four comes a riveting thriller with a brilliant premise based on the 2012 apocalypse phenomenon--perfect for readers of Steve Berry, Preston and Child, and Dan Brown. For decades, December 21, 2012, has been a touchstone for doomsayers worldwide. It is the date, they claim, when the ancient Maya calendar predicts the world will end. In Los Angeles, two weeks before, all is calm. Dr. Gabriel Stanton takes his usual morning bike ride, drops off the dog with his ex-wife, and heads to the lab where he studies incurable prion diseases for the CDC. His first phone call is from a hospital resident who has an urgent case she thinks he needs to see. Meanwhile, Chel Manu, a Guatemalan American researcher at the Getty Museum, is interrupted by a desperate, unwelcome visitor from the black market antiquities trade who thrusts a duffel bag into her hands. By the end of the day, Stanton, the foremost expert on some of the rarest infections in the world, is grappling with a patient whose every symptom confounds and terrifies him. And Chel, the brightest young star in the field of Maya studies, has possession of an illegal artifact that has miraculously survived the centuries intact: a priceless codex from a lost city of her ancestors. This extraordinary record, written in secret by a royal scribe, seems to hold the answer to her life's work and to one of history's great riddles: why the Maya kingdoms vanished overnight. Suddenly it seems that our own civilization might suffer this same fate. With only days remaining until December 21, 2012, Stanton and Chel must join forces before time runs out.

12 Books That Changed The World: How words and wisdom have shaped our lives
by Melvyn BraggWhen we think of great events in the history of the world, we tend to think of war, revolution, political upheaval or natural catastrophe. But throughout history there have been moments of vital importance that have taken place not on the battlefield, or in the palaces of power, or even in the violence of nature, but between the pages of a book. In our digitised age of instant information it is easy to underestimate the power of the printed word. In his fascinating new book accompanying the ITV series, Melvyn Bragg presents a vivid reminder of the book as agent of social, political and personal revolution. Twelve Books that Changed the World presents a rich variety of human endeavour and a great diversity of characters. There are also surprises. Here are famous books by Darwin, Newton and Shakespeare - but we also discover the stories behind some less well-known works, such as Marie Stopes' Married Love, the original radical feminist Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman - and even the rules to an obscure ball game that became the most popular sport in the world . . .(p) 2006 Hodder & Stoughton

12 Bytes: How Ai Will Change The Way We Live And Love
by Jeanette Winterson&“Witty [and] provocative&” essays on how AI might change us by the New York Times–bestselling author of Why Be Happy When You Can Be Normal? (Kirkus Reviews). When we create non-biological life-forms, will we do so in our image? Or will we accept the once-in-a-species opportunity to remake ourselves in their image? What do love, caring, sex, and attachment look like when humans form connections with non-human helpers, teachers, sex-workers, and companions? And what will happen to our deep-rooted assumptions about gender? Will the physical body that is our home soon be enhanced by biological and neural implants, keeping us fitter, younger, and connected? Is it time to join Elon Musk and leave Planet Earth? In twelve eye-opening, mind-expanding, funny, and provocative essays on the implications of artificial intelligence that look to history, religion, myth, literature, politics, and computer science to help us understand, Jeanette Winterson tackles AI&’s most fascinating talking points, from the algorithms that data-dossier your whole life to the weirdness of backing up your brain. &“Thought-provoking and necessary—and sometimes very funny.&” —The Guardian &“Fascinating. . . . Winterson makes granular tech know-how remarkably accessible.&” —Publishers Weekly
12 bytes. Cómo vivir y amar en el futuro
by Jeanette WintersonUno de los libros del año según The Guardian, Financial Times y Evening Standard «Un libro impactante, ingenioso y excelentemente documentado que ofrece una mirada feminista a la revolución de la inteligencia artificial». Charlotte Cripps, The Independent «Cuando leo a Winterson siento con certeza que estamos en el umbral de algo nuevo, de algo bueno». Nuria Barrios Cuando creemos formas de vida no biológicas, ¿lo haremos a nuestra imagen y semejanza, o aprovecharemos la primera oportunidad en la historia de nuestra especie para «re-crearnos» y hacerlo a su imagen y semejanza? ¿Cómo serán el amor, los cuidados, el sexo y el apego cuando los seres humanos entablemos relaciones con seres no humanos que ejerzan de profesores, trabajadoras sexuales o figuras de compañía?¿Qué será de nuestros arraigadísimos prejuicios de género? ¿Disfrutaremos en breve de mejoras biológicas e implantes neurales que nos permitan mantenernos en forma, más jóvenes y conectados? Tras años de reflexión y lectura sobre la inteligencia artificial, Jeanette Winterson recurre a la historia, la religión, la mitología, la literatura, la política y, por supuesto, la informática para ayudarnos a entender los cambios radicales que ya se están produciendo en nuestra forma de vivir y de amar. Con un derroche de ingenio, humor y empatía, nos invita a abrir los ojos y expandir la mente. La crítica ha dicho...«A través de la heterodoxia de sus textos, Winterson dinamita categorías, vocabularios y convenciones tristes. Una escritora maravillosa».Marta Sanz, Babelia «Mientras la mayoría de autores y autoras se limitan a regurgitar la imaginación de sus antecesores, [...] esta inglesa rebelde se pone la literatura por montera y la reinventa».M.ª Ángeles Cabré, Babelia «Provocador y necesario».The Guardian «Enérgica y despreocupada, Winterson conecta los puntos y ordena una historia de mujeres científicas, visionarias y descifradoras de códigos».Claire Armitstead, The Observer «Una lectura amena e inusual, [...] impregnada del mismo humor delicioso y seco que el resto de su obra».Laura Grace Simpkins, New Scientist «Aunque algunos aspectos de este futuro de la inteligencia artificial sean aterradores, no puedo imaginar nada más atractivo que este libro para cualquiera que, sin ser un científico, desee entender los retos y las posibilidades de este nuevo "mundo feliz"».Stephanie Merritt, The Guardian «La prosa de Winterson es magnética. Desmonta tópicos en cada párrafo».Andreu Gomila, Time Out «Una fuerza desatada de la naturaleza. Ella sola es el cambio climático entero».Carmen Morán Breña, El País
