Renaissance (Gateway Essentials #318)
by Raymond F. JonesCALL ME KETAN! Like all my companions in Kronweld I emerged full-grown from the Temple of Birth.

Here is their message: "If any of you live, come through to us. Save us. Bring weapons!" I am going to them now. I do not know whether I will ever return from the great Edge...

Rendición (Premio Alfaguara de novela #2017)
by Ray LorigaUna fábula luminosa sobre el destierro, la pérdida, la paternidad y los afectos.(De acta del jurado del Premio Alfaguara de novela 2017) «Loriga se ha unido al selecto grupo de escritores que -como Houellebecq y Murakami- están redefiniendo la ficción del siglo XXI.»Wayne Burrows, The Big Issue ¿Quiénes somos cuando nos cambian las circunstancias? La guerra dura una década y nadie sabe a ciencia cierta cómo transcurre, qué bando fue el agresor y cuál el agredido. En la comarca, la vida ha continuado entre el temor a la delación y la añoranza de los que fueron al frente. Cuando llega el momento de evacuar la zona por seguridad, él emprende camino junto a su mujer y al niño Julio, que ayuda a amortiguar el dolor por la ausencia de los hijos soldados. Un futuro protegido parece aguardarles en la ciudad transparente, donde todo es de dominio público y extrañamente alegre. Allí los recuerdos desaparecen; no existe ninguna intimidad -ni siquiera la de sentir miedo- hasta el momento en que la conciencia despierta y se impone asumir las consecuencias. «Una historia kafkiana y orwelliana sobre la autoridad y la manipulación colectiva, una parábola de nuestras sociedades expuestas a la mirada y al juicio de todos. Sin caer en moralismos, a través de una voz humilde y reflexiva con inesperados golpes de humor, el autor construye una fábula luminosa sobre el destierro, la pérdida, la paternidad y los afectos. La trama de Rendición sorprende a cada página hasta conducirnos a un final impactante que resuena en el lector tiempo después de cerrar el libro.»Del Jurado del XX Premio Alfaguara de novela. Críticas:«A Loriga se le puede considerar el verdadero iniciador de una escritura que se aleja del realismo español, un monólogo mental en un paisaje desolado, como salido de un cuadro de Hopper, con unos protagonistas cuyo único núcleo social, generalmente roto, es el de la familia. Una escritura depurada, de breves párrafos, que no describe, sino que va, silenciosa como los neumáticos de un automóvil sobre una autopista.»J.A. Masoliver Ródenas, La Vanguardia «Ray Loriga es un fascinante cruce entre Marguerite Duras y Jim Thompson.»Pedro Almodóvar «La voz de una nueva generación.»The Daily Telegraph «Ray Loriga es un escritor de culto emergente que destila genio en cada página.» Scotland on Sunday

Renegades & Rogues: The Life and Legacy of Robert E. Howard
by Todd B. VickThis biography of the creator of Conan the Barbarian is &“deep dive work,&” in which &“this &‘mysterious&’ Texas scribe gets his most complete story arc told&” (Houston Press). Robert E Howard&’s most famous creation, Conan the Barbarian, is an icon of popular culture. In hundreds of tales detailing the exploits of Conan, King Kull, and others, Howard helped to invent the sword and sorcery genre. Todd B. Vick delves into newly available archives and probes Howard&’s relationships, particularly with schoolteacher Novalyne Price, to bring a fresh, objective perspective to Howard's life. Like his many characters, Howard was an enigma and an outsider. He spent his formative years visiting the four corners of Texas, experiences that left a mark on his stories. He was intensely devoted to his mother, whom he nursed in her final days, and whose impending death contributed to his suicide in 1936 when he was just thirty years old.Renegades & Rogues is an unequivocal journalistic account that situates Howard within the broader context of pulp literature. More than a realistic fantasist, he wrote westerns and horror stories as well, and engaged in avid correspondence with H. P. Lovecraft and other pulp writers of his day. Vick investigates Howard&’s twelve-year writing career, analyzes the influences that underlay his celebrated characters, and assesses the afterlife of Conan, the figure in whom Howard&’s fervent imagination achieved its most durable expression. &“A tour de force.&” ―Modern Age &“A compelling read.&” —S. T. Joshi, author of I Am Providence: The Life and Times of H. P. Lovecraft
