Léon y Louise
by Alex CapusExquisita por su ligereza y conmovedora por su intensidad, la verosimilitud del relato sorprenderá al lector más avezado. Obra finalista del Deutscher Buchpreis -uno de los premios literarios de referencia en Alemania-, esta última novela de Alex Capus es la máxima expresión de una historia de amor que desafía todas las convenciones. El verano de 1918, la Primera Guerra Mundial está a punto de terminar, pero sus consecuencias perdurarán durante décadas. Para algunas personas, incluso toda una vida. Léon le Gall es un joven rebelde de apenas diecisiete años que ha decidido dejar los estudios y trabaja como ayudante en la estación ferroviaria de Saint-Luc-sur-Marne, en la costa de Normandía. Allí es donde conoce a la hermosa y esquiva Louise Janvier, y entre ellos surge un sentimiento puro, noble y profundo. Sin embargo, todo salta por los aires cuando Louise desaparece durante un bombardeo de la aviación alemana. Abatido porla pérdida, Léon logra reconstruir su vida. Se casa, tiene hijos y empieza a trabajar como científico para la policía, pero nunca conseguirá olvidar a Louise. La crítica ha dicho...«Entre todas las parejas de enamorados, felices o infelices, que nos ha presentado la literatura, la de Léon y Louise es una de las más originales y creíbles.»Süddeutsche Zeitung «El libro de esta primavera. Una historia maravillosa que deja un vacío cuando uno termina de leerla. Y que nos hace desear secretamente encontrar a alguien como Léon en la próxima vida. O a alguien como Louise.»WDR «La historia de un amor que se opone a la historia del mundo. Una pieza literaria finamente trabajada sobre el deseo de lograr la felicidad, sobre la conformidad y la supervivencia.»Tages-Anzeiger «Este libro elige a sus lectores. [...] Alex Capus ha escrito una fascinante historia de amor en circunstancias difíciles [...]. Una historia bellísima que lo es tanto por su estilo como por todo aquello que el lenguaje no puede describir.»Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung «A simple vista, ésta es una historia de un amor que perdura. Pero también habla de los abusos de poder, especialmente en tiempos de guerra, y de los sacrificios que el ser humano debe hacer para preservar aquello que más ama.»Publishers Weekly

Leonie: A Novel
by Elizabeth AdlerWith only her exotic beauty, seductive innocence, pride, and fiery spirit, Leonie came from the provinces to find her future in Paris.

From Paris to the Cote d'Azur, from New York to Brazil, from Cuba to Cairo, she moved in a dazzling world of money, passion, and power--a world darkened only by the relentlessly hunger of one man's obsession--a man determined to possess her . . . a man who could never lover her, never let her go . . . .
Léonie
by Sveva Casati ModignaniThe Cantoni family lives in a luxurious mansion right outside Milan. For three successful generations, the Cantonis have been running a prominent faucet-manufacturing business. Despite their respectable appearances, every member of the family has secrets and scars that they want to hide. The family rule is to sweep uncomfortable truths under the rug; the streak of madness afflicting Bianca, the dynasty's matriarch, is therefore kept quiet. The newest addition to the family is Léonie Tardivaux, a penniless young French girl who marries Guido Cantoni, Bianca's only grandson. Léonie becomes so much a part of the family that she too adopts the belief that some facts are better left untold. And yet she is a consummate wife, doting mother, and talented career woman who guides the family business through the rough waters of the economic recession. Meanwhile, she harbors her own secret: Every year, for just one day, she leaves it all behind and drives off to a romantic hotel on Lake Como.
Leonie of the Jungle
by Joan ConquestWho found the kitten? "Me," quavered the childish voice. Lady Susan Hetth tchcked with her tongue against her rather prominent teeth at the lamentable lapse in grammar, and looked crossly at Leonie, who immediately lifted up the quavering voice and wept. Sobs too big for such a little girl shook the slender body, whilst great tears dripped from the long lashes to the tip of the upturned nose, down the chin and on the knee of the famous specialist, against which she rested. "Stand up, Leonie, and push your hair out of your eyes!" The thin little body tautened like an overstrung violin string, and a shock of russet hair was pushed hastily back from a pair of indefinable eyes, in which shone the light of an intense grief strange in one so young.
Leonie's Luck
by Emma GoldrickA Tough Little LadyHow dare Charlie Wheeler suggest that she needed a man-for anything! It looked to her like he, and his little daughter, Cecilia, needed the tender loving care that a woman could provide. Cecilia might act tough, but Leonie knew that underneath it all was a vulnerable little girl. Well, maybe Leonie was a little lonely at night...and perhaps Charlie did have deep, dark eyes and a smile that could warm her heart. But in Leonie's experience, men were just plain bad luck-but could that luck be about to change?
