Taksim
by Juan SardáEn un futurista 2080 habrá tenido lugar la III Guerra Mundial y los países y las ciudades tendrán nombres de marcas comerciales. En el año 2080, más de 60 años después de una guerra mundial provocada por la crisis económica, el mundo está dominado por las multinacionales. Los países y las ciudades se llaman como marcas: Coca-Cola Light BCN (la antigua Barcelona) o Mar Red Bull (el Mediterráneo). Con frecuencia, la ciencia ficción inventa escenarios futuros en los que podemos reconocer el presente. Taksim se erige como una metáfora de nuestro tiempo narrada en primera persona por una periodista de guerra víctima del terrorismo y conocedora de las cloacas del sistema. Taksim plantea un futuro muy presente dominado por la cultura de los famosos y la precariedad de las relaciones sentimentales donde se suceden los agentes secretos y las conspiraciones. Un universo ultracompetitivo en el que los humanos están tan asustados los unos de los otros que prefieren relacionarse con robots. En este contexto, Jakob, el protagonista, un afamado productor de cine, deberá aprender a asumir que su matrimonio con otro hombre ha sido un fraude y lidiar con su sentido de culpa. La ominosa sombra del terrorismo planeará en todo momento sobre ellos. Las tertulias del corazón serán el reverso. El absurdo de ese mundo artificial y violento ocupa un papel central en este relato complejo, estructurado a partir de las perspectivas propias de cada uno de los personajes, que alterna diversos planos de narración y de lenguajes para que el sentido final de la historia siga vivo y oculto hasta sus últimas páginas. Contundente alegato contra cualquier tipo de violencia, Taksim cuenta, con modos de novela filosófica de aventuras, cómo la incapacidad de amar vuelve a las personas, o a las sociedades, enfermas. Reseñas:«Este escritor tiene dos cosas muy claras: cómo narrar algo que es un vértigo, una caída y un viaje y hacerlo muy bien [...] Un buen autor, con talento».Lilian Neuman, La Vanguardia «Dinámica... es buena, honesta, fresca y estilosa (...) Un autor de culto que destruye dogmas mientras gana adeptos».David Bernal, El Duende «Taksim, aparte de una buena novela, es un alegato contra la violencia y los prejuicios inmutables».El Cultural de El Mundo «Con su segunda novela, Taksim, el escritor y periodista Juan Sardá destripa las miserias del ser humano en el capitalismo cibernético como un Huxley a la contemporánea».El dominical de El periódico de Catalunya «En Taksim, Juan Sardá nos ofrece como respuesta un retrato de una Tierra futura donde el capitalismo ha desplazado del todo a la democracia (...) ¿Se dirige, realmente, nuestro mundo hacia este descorazonador desenlace? Solo puedo decir que Juan nos ofrece una respuesta clara y tranquilizadora:las personas del futuro, como nosotros, persistirán en su búsqueda de qué es amar».Salva Rubio
Tale of Birle
by Cynthia VoigtThere are some who say that the Lady Fortune has a wheel, and all men are fixed upon it. The wheel turns, and the men rise, or fall, with the turning of the wheel. Birle has agreed to be wed to the huntsman Muir as an escape from the drudgery of life at her father's inn -- but the moment she looks into the bellflower blue eyes of the man she comes upon stealing one of her father's boats, Birle knows she cannot marry Muir. Even after she discovers the mysterious stranger is Orien, a Lord and as unreachable to an innkeeper's daughter as a star, Birle is determined to travel with him as far as he will allow. Their travels take Birle to a world far from home, a world where Lords may become slaves, where Princes rule by fear, and where Fortune's Wheel turns more swiftly and dangerously than Birle could have imagined. Newberry Medalist Cynthia Voigt's second novel of the Kingdom, set two generations later than Jackaroo, is a memorable combination of thrilling adventure and heart-stopping romance.
Tale of Elske (Tales of the Kingdom #4)
by Cynthia VoigtShe never knew she had a self. From the time she was a child, she was prepared to sacrifice her life when the Volkking summoned her. She never knew she had a heart, until she set out on a journey north to live among strangers. She never knew she had a choice, until she chose to trust the princess she was told to serve. And she never knew her own value, until she met the man who understood her strength, and who could taste the honey in her name: Elske. But the princess Beriel had always known who she was and what she was worth. She had always had a heart, and a stubborn one. She had always made her own choices, even when they were forced upon her. What Beriel did not have was the one thing she valued above all else, and that was the throne to her kingdom. With immense power and compassion, Cynthia Voigt, Newbery Medalist, depicts the parallel quests of two extraordinary young women. As Elske seeks to find her true self and Beriel battles to reclaim what is rightfully hers, both discover the value, and the price, of reaching the journey's end.
Tale of Gwyn
by Cynthia Voigt"False, they were all of them false, the stories; as false as the stories of fairies dancing in moonlight glades on Midsummer Night." But they served a purpose. In a distant time and far-off kingdom, life is hard. People don't have enough to eat, and winter is upon them. There's little that offers hope, and many turn to the legends of Jackaroo -- the masked outlaw hero who rides at night giving aid to the helpless and coin to the destitute -- for solace. But Gwyn, the Innkeeper's daughter -- sensitive, industrious, and independent -- is too practical to believe such tales. But when a snowstorm forces her and a young Lordling to seek refuge in an abandoned house, Gwyn wonders if perhaps she has been too cynical. Hidden away in an old forgotten cupboard, Gwyn discovers a package -- a cloak, a mask, a sword....Jackaroo? Could the stories be true? It takes a shock and a devastating betrayal for Gwyn to begin to understand what -- and who -- Jackaroo really is. And she comes to know what part she will play in discovering the truth, such as it may be, behind the legends.
