Desperation: Roman
by Stephen King“The terror is relentless” (Publishers Weekly) in Stephen King’s #1 national bestseller about a little mining town, Desperation, that many will enter on their way to somewhere else. But getting out is not easy as it would seem…Located off a desolate stretch of Interstate 50, Desperation, Nevada, has few connections with the rest of the world. It is a place, though, where the seams between worlds are thin. And it is a place where several travelers are abducted by Collie Entragian, the maniacal police officer of Desperation. Entragian uses various ploys for the abductions, from an arrest for drug possession to “rescuing” a family from a nonexistent gunman. There’s something very wrong here, all right, and Entragian is only the surface of it. The secrets embedded in Desperation’s landscape, and the evil that infects the town like some viral hot zone, are both awesome and terrifying. But as one of the travelers, young David Carver, seems to know—though it scares him nearly to death to realize it—so are the forces summoned to combat them. “Stephen King’s knack for turning the stray junk of pop culture into sick, darkly engrossing thrills has rarely been this much in evidence as in Desperation” (Salon).

El desperdicio
by Matilde SánchezUn relato sobre la amistad y sobre cómo la inteligencia puede resultar un recurso insuficiente cuando va siendo mellada por la vida, con su carga de tragedia, indolencia y mezquindad. Una novela que se distingue por su maestría y por su originalísimo modo de narrar. El desperdicio cuenta la historia de Elena -Helen, Hélène, Lenu, Lena-, al principio estudiante llegada a Buenos Aires desde un pueblo del interior, más tarde profesora y brillante crítica, cabeza de un grupúsculo destacado en esos años de capillas literarias y célebres teóricos, sobre todo de discípulos del "formalismo". En el agudo retrato, quedan plasmados su entusiasmo, su lucidez intelectual y su fama, que conquista mientras practica el deporte del amor y la cinefilia en blanco y negro. Con el transcurrir del tiempo y de la historia quedan atrás los años despreocupados y la decadencia se cuela tanto en la vida de Elena como en la de un país cuyo campo #el origen de su riqueza- se puebla de indigentes, habitantes de contenedores, cazadores de liebres.

Despertar
by Anna HopeLa historia de cómo tres mujeres lucharon contra los horrores de la Primera Guerra Mundial y el impacto de ese drama en las vidas de sus hombres. Londres, 11 de noviembre de 1920. Mientras la ciudad se prepara para recibir el cuerpo del Soldado Desconocido, tres mujeres tratan de superar las pérdidas y dificultades de la Gran Guerra: Hettie, una joven que se alquila para bailar; Evelyn, una rica heredera que ayuda a ex combatientes, y Ada, una madre que cree ver el fantasma de su hijo desaparecido en el campo de batalla. Un día, un hombre llama a la puerta de Ada y anuncia un secreto acontecido en la guerra que unirá el destino de las tres mujeres y servirá para cerrar heridas. Despertar se abre como un juego de cajas chinas -una historia de amor imposible, una narración del papel de las mujeres en la Gran Guerra- y se cierra en los albores de un siglo en el que se perdió la inocencia para siempre. «La idea para Despertar se me ocurrió leyendo sobre la historia social de las mujeres a principios del siglo xx. Leí mucho sobre el movimiento sufragista. Sabía que las mujeres consiguieron el derecho a voto en 1918, pero quería descubrir por qué y qué había hecho la guerra por ellas. No encontré muchos libros -ni ensayos ni ficción- que abordaran la guerra desde el punto de vista de las mujeres. De modo que decidí escribir sobre el tema.»Anna Hope La crítica ha dicho...«Despertar es potente y humana; una novela que cautiva y fascina. Los personajes de Anna Hope son tan reales, imperfectos y detallados, y su prosa tan natural, que uno casi olvida cuán grande es la historia que está contando.»Sadie Jones, autora de Huéspedes inesperados y El rebelde «Con todo lujo de detalles, Hope crea un vibrante paisaje físico y emocional en el cual los protagonistas se mueven irresistiblemente hacia el futuro, algunos con un propósito claro y otros aún en su búsqueda. [...] El debut de Hope revisita de forma conmovedora una inmensa tragedia al tiempo que confirma su prometedor talento.»Kirkus Reviews «Una conmovedora novela sobre las consecuencias del conflicto de 1914-1918 [...]. Difícilmente habrá quien lo refleje mejor que esteDespertar de Anna Hope.»The Sunday Times
