Entre lo absolutamenteenfermizo y el extrañamiento más salvaje, Tener la carne no solo nos introduce en un delirio perfecto, sino que con toda seguridad es uno de los debuts más originales del panorama literario español».Sara Barquinero

Tentación
by János SzékelyMi vida empezó como una novela negra. Intentaron asesinarme. Por suerte todo sucedió cinco meses antes de que yo naciera, así que no creo que la cosa me causara mayor sobresalto...Esta voz juguetona que nos sorprende desde las primeras líneas de Tentación pertenece a Béla, su protagonista, un chiquillo que a punto estuvo de no nacer, y que finalmente vino al mundo en la primavera de 1913 en una aldea de la campiña húngara, un lugar donde el hambre era el castigo de cada día. Su madre, una joven campesina, al nacer lo dejó en casa de una vieja arpía y fue su maestro quien le regaló los primeros libros, le hizo caer en la tentación del saber y le contó que más allá del pueblo había una ciudad mágica que se llamaba Budapest. Una vez llegado a la capital y empleado como botones en un gran hotel, durante el día Béla asiste al espectáculo de despilfarro de las clases acomodadas, dispuestas a ahogar su aburrimiento en champaña y caviar, y por la noche vuelve a la periferia para compartir con los suyos las miserias del proletariado. En la ciudad empieza también su despertar sexual a manos de una pelirroja perversa, rica y hermosa, y su coqueteo con la política de los años veinte. En los tres años detrabajo en el hotel, el joven Béla experimenta el límite del hambre y del agotamiento sexual, descubriendo lo mejor y lo peor de la sociedad que le rodea; enresumidas cuentas, juega con el destino poniendo sobre la mesa un deseo inmenso de vivir y gana su primera partida recién cumplidoslos dieciocho años.Novela veladamente autobiográfica, Tentación es uno de los grandes textos del siglo XX, pues su autor condensó en estas páginas todo el talento, el humor corrosivo y la ironía que distinguen a los buenos perdedores. Si Dickens y Thackeray vivieran, posiblemente aplaudirían a este admirable alumno, que aprendió de los grandes maestros ingleses el arte de contar una historia que era su misma vida.

Teresa of the New World
by Sharman Apt RussellFrom the bestselling author of An Obsession with Butterflies comes a magical story of America in the time of the conquistadors. In 1528, the real-life conquistador Cabeza de Vaca shipwrecked in the New World where he lived for eight years as a slave, trader, and shaman. In this lyrical weaving of history and myth, the adventurer takes his young daughter Teresa from her home in Texas to walk westward into the setting sun, their travels accompanied by miracles--visions and prophecies. But when Teresa reaches the outposts of New Spain, life is not what her father had promised. As a kitchen servant in the household of a Spanish official, Teresa grows up estranged from the magic she knew as a child, when she could speak to the earth and listen to animals. When a new epidemic of measles devastates the area, the sixteen-year-old sets off on her own journey, befriending a Mayan were-jaguar who cannot control his shape-shifting and a warhorse abandoned by his Spanish owner. Now Teresa moves through a land stalked by Plague: smallpox as well as measles, typhus, and scarlet fever. Soon it becomes clear that Teresa and her friends are being manipulated and driven by forces they do not understand. To save herself and others, Teresa will find herself listening again to the earth, sinking underground, swimming through limestone and fossil, opening to the power of root and stone. As she searches for her place in the New World, she will travel farther and deeper than she had ever imagined. Rich in historical detail and scope, Teresa of the New World takes you into the dreamscape of the sixteenth-century American Southwest.

Terminal
by Andrew Vachss"You know why we hate you? Not because you don't know what we know, but because, if you did, you wouldn't give a damn. So I'm sitting here, waiting to commit extortion, and planning a lot worse. I'm what you'd call a criminal. That's why I'll never be you. And I'm proud of it. " --from Terminal When the former shot-caller of the country's most feared white supremacist prison gang contacts Burke, he comes with references . . . and the promise of a huge score. Terminally ill, the ex-con needs major cash to gamble on the long-shot possibility of a cure that's available only in Switzerland. The only card he has to play is a small-time degenerate who paid for protection when they were in prison together. That professional bottom-feeder claims he personally buried the body of a thirteen-year-old girl who had been raped, tortured, and finally killed by three rich men more than thirty years ago--and that he's holding irrefutable proof. But such a complicated extortion scheme needs the hand of a specialist crew, so Burke is offered a piece of the action. He and his outlaw family put together a lethal plan. If they can pull it off, Burke gets the two things he lives for: Money and Revenge. If not, "terminal" could prove to be more than just one man's diagnosis. Terminal is a blistering thriller that forces Burke back in time--to keep a blood-commitment to a brother from his prison past, and to avenge the "cold-cased" rape-murder of a teenage girl. From the Hardcover edition.
