by Enrique OrtizEL IMPERIO MEXICA TENDRÁ QUE DEMOSTRAR SU PODER Y GRANDEZA ANTES DE QUE SEA DEMASIADO TARDE… Tenochtitlan, 1520. El buen trato que Motecuhzoma ha concedido a los castellanos desde su llegada provoca sospechas entre los mexicas. Como gesto de confianza, el huey tlahtoani entrega varias doncellas de noble cuna a los forasteros para que la armonía siga reinando en el imperio. Una de ellas es Citlalli, joven aguerrida que deberá complacer y obedecer las órdenes de Gonzalo, capitán de rodeleros. Convencida de la importancia de su papel para mantener la paz, Citlalli faltará a la promesa que le hizo a su amado Cuauhtli, un destacado guerrero tenochca de origen plebeyo con quien planeaba huir para salvar su amor. Sin embargo, la paz es solo aparente y muy endeble. Cuando Pedro de Alvarado aprovecha la ausencia de Cortés para perpetrar una matanza en el Templo Mayor, cualquier posible alianza quedará anulada y los mexicas deberán luchar por mantener su hegemonía y su honor. Conflictos políticos, batallas épicas, intrigas y romance son los protagonistas de La última victoria mexica, una ambiciosa novela en la que el rigor histórico y la ficción se entrelazan para ofrecer uno de los relatos más apasionantes sobre los días previos a la Noche Triste.

Últimas novelas
by Adolfo Bioy CasaresEl movimiento en todo su esplendor es la clave que sobrevuela estas Últimas novelas de Adolfo Bioy Casares. Ni bien llega a La Plata, enviado a sacar fotos para una nueva colección de libros sobre ciudades, Nicolás Almanza conoce a los Lombardo, una familia que lo trata con excesiva confianza pero ejerce en él una atracción resistente a cualquier tipo de advertencia. La aventura de un fotógrafo en La Plata (1985), además de contar con las virtudes narrativas más famosas de Bioy, se destaca por sus fuertes dosis de humor y terror. En Un campeón desparejo (1993) el taxista Luis Ángel Morales pierde sus históricas inhibiciones gracias al brebaje de unos amables pasajeros y, casi sin darse cuenta, su destreza para las peleas, que tan bien se ajusta a su oficio, empieza a hacer honor a esos dos nombres que carga en homenaje a Firpo, el mítico Toro de las Pampas. Por su parte, la expedición interplanetaria a la que se lanzan el periodista Javier Almagro y su novia Margarita en De un mundo a otro (1998) convierte esta última novela de Bioy en la más impredecible, alucinante y quizás aireana de una obra que ocupa en el gran podio de la literatura argentina un lugar de privilegio inamovible.

Legalized suicide. A government dedicated to reducing citizen numbers. And a woman who is sentenced to death, but refuses to be culled. Cassie O'Neil broke the law: she had sex before marriage.

But before she commits suicide on a game show watched by millions, she finds a will to live she didn't realize she had, and goes on the run. Cassie is forced to steal to survive, and she finds herself among a dissident group that is plotting to sabotage a laboratory containing a secret virus that is far more important than any of them realize. Captured by the police, they are taken to a secret government installation. Now the group's only chance at survival is to accept the Prime Minister's mission--a mission that forces Cassie to make the decision she's been running from for so long.Fast-paced and utterly enthralling, this follow-up to Lisa Hinsley's dystopian debut The Plague will keep you turning the pages through the exploits of an unforgettably tenacious heroine.
