Apparition
by Gail GallantThe last time seventeen-year-old Amelia Mackenzie saw her best friend Matthew alive, he broke her heart. When he is found the next day in an abandoned barn at the edge of town, an apparent suicide, Amelia's whole world comes crashing down. And then she sees him again. Because Amelia has a secret that even Matthew didn't know: sometimes, she sees ghosts. When a local history columnist named Morris Dyson contacts Amelia after the funeral and tells her that he thinks the barn Matthew died in is haunted, and that Matthew wasn't its first victim, an unlikely partnership is born. With Amelia's gift for seeing ghosts, Morris's radical theories on the supernatural, and a bit of help from Morris's sexy but skeptical son, Kip, a mystery unfolds. One by one, the barn's other ghostly residents are revealed: all innocent, love-struck young men who've died horrific deaths, seemingly by their own hands. Life and death couldn't get more complicated as Amelia is torn between her devotion to the ghostly Matthew and her growing attraction to Kip, who may not believe in ghosts but can't help believing in Amelia. When she's confronted with a rivalry between the living and the dead, which side of the great divide will Amelia choose? Apparition is a fast-paced supernatural mystery about memory and obsession, bodies and spirits, love and loss.

Aprender a vivir: Filosofía para mentes jóvenes
by Luc FerryPensado para jóvenes y adultos que quieren saber qué es la filosofía y cómo puede esta ayudarnos a vivir mejor y a ser más libres. Voy a contarte la historia de la filosofía. No toda, por supuesto, pero sí sus cinco grandes momentos. Para cada una de estas etapas, te ofreceré como ejemplo una o dos formas de ver el mundo, de modo que puedas empezar a leer por ti mismo, si te apetece, a alguno de sus pensadores. También quiero hacerte una promesa: voy a exponerte todas estas ideas de forma muy clara, sin jerga, yendo a lo esencial, a lo más apasionante que hay en ellas. Si me sigues, acabarás sabiendo de verdad qué es la filosofía y por qué resulta irremplazable a la hora de aclararnos los múltiples interrogantes que se plantean en torno a cómo podemos o debemos vivir nuestras vidas. Aprender a vivir, a dejar de temer los diversos rostros de la muerte o, simplemente, aprender a superar la banalidad de la vida cotidiana, las preocupaciones y el tiempo que pasa, este fue el primer objetivo de las escuelas de la Antigüedad griega. Merece la pena escuchar su mensaje, porque las filosofías del pasado nos siguen hablando.
