Química Imperfecta
by Jonay Quintero Hernández Mary Frame"Perfectamente imperfectos son los personajes y situaciones que hacen del debut de Frame un novela chispeante... hay una sensación real de crecimiento en los personajes, encarnada por el estilo narrativo en constante evolución que se asemeja a la metamorfósis de Lucy. La mezcla de humor y sentimiento hacen de esta una lectura profunda y enormemente entretenida." --Publishers Weekly A Lucy London la palabra genio se le queda corta. Habiendo obtenido el doctorado a los veinte años, ha acumulado una ingente cantidad de conocimientos, pero todavía hay una cosa que se le resiste: la gente. El péndulo de pasiones que experimenta la gente que la rodea; le confunde y le intriga, así que cuando le ofrecen una beca para estudiar a las emociones como patógenos, se apunta a la oprtunidad. Entra en escena Jensen Walker, vecino de Lucy y la única persona que encuentra atrayente. La vida de Jensen responde al estereotipo de leyenda del campus, desordenada, emotiva y complicada. Basicamente, el perfecto punto de partida para el estudio de Lucy. Cuando la tenacidad de ella le convence y consiente en ayudarla, saltan las chispas. Para su sorpresa, Lucy se encuentra a sí misma luchando con sus propias emociones; tan extrañas, como intensas. Con el tiempo contado para la entrega de su proyecto, Lucy debe decidir que es más importante:analizar sus pasiones... o abandonarse a ellas.
R Is for Rebel
by Megan MulryBeing royal isn't all it's cracked up to be... Abigail Heyworth, youngest daughter of the 18th Duke of Northrop, is not your typical British royal--she'll take a recycling drive over a charity ball any day. She can't stand hats and heels. Abby's not getting much sympathy, of course, because everyone thinks the life of royalty is so charmed. But to Abigail, keeping up appearances is unbearable, while running away doesn't seem to work either. Just when she feels like she's getting whiplash from swinging between flat-out rebellion to miserable capitulation, Abigail meets an all-American self-made millionaire who challenges her on every level. It may turn out that what Abigail is searching for kind of resembles the American Dream...
R y Julie
by Isaac Marion«Me llevo una mano al pecho, sobre el corazón. Mi "corazón". ¿Todavía representa algo ese penoso órgano? Permanece inmóvil, sin bombear sangre, sin la más mínima utilidad, y sin embargo mis emociones todavía parecen originarse entre sus frías paredes. ¿Qué me pasa? ¿Me lo estoy imaginando todo? ¿Es un placebo? ¿Una ilusión optimista? En cualquier caso, siento que el encefalograma de mi vida se altera, formando montañas y valles con los latidos de mi corazón.» R es algo peculiar. Intenta pasárselo bien, pero es demasiado sensible y a veces se entristece. Tampoco ayuda que esté muerto, o casi muerto. Se pasa los días vagando por el aeropuerto abandonado donde vive sin saber muy bien qué sentido tiene su existencia. Hasta que conoce a Julie. R y Julie, un guiño moderno al clásico de Shakespeare Romeo y Julieta, es una historia de amor que esconde una fábula acerca de cómo vivimos dormidos, en estado catatónico, hasta que el amor irrumpe en nuestras vidas.

Racconti e disincontri
by Aimar RollanRacconti e disincontri è un libro di racconti brevi su varie tematiche e indipendenti tra loro. 30 racconti brevi, qualcuno più lungo degli altri, altri talmente brevi da potersi considerare micro-fiction o microracconti. Molti di essi trattano di amore e disinnamoramento, di incontri e disincontri, ma ce ne sono anche di filosofici, psicologici, di storia, di fantascienza e di fantasia, così come di realismo con tematiche quotidiane. A priori potrebbe sembrare un libro di stampo romantico, ma è molto di più. La maggior parte dei racconti sono ambientati a Barcellona, dove l’autore ha vissuto nel corso degli anni; altri nel suo Paese Basco natale. Altri ancora in luoghi immaginari. Ogni storia è a sé stante, così come ogni lettore al quale piacerà più una storia rispetto a un’altra, che però sicuramente non risulteranno indifferenti a nessuno. Alcune di queste storie potranno anche convertirsi in futuri romanzi. Lo scopo di questo libro è quello di intrattenere con brevi storie di finzione e anche di trasmettere in ogni racconto un’idea principale che faccia riflettere. Storie per leggere e rileggersi.
