"description": "Un delirio de amor recorre la ciudad. Y bajo lo aparente, asoma lo extraordinario. EL MEJOR MILLÁS «Cuando estás con la mente y con el cuerpo en el mismo sitio, la realidad adquiere una luz extraordinaria. Créeme.» El día en que Lucía pierde su empleo como programadora informática es también el día en que su vida va a dar un giro definitivo, tal vez por una sucesión de casualidades o tal vez porque ese era el destino que le estaba esperando desde su décimo cumpleaños. Como si de un algoritmo se tratara, Lucía establece los siguientes principios sobre los que basará su existencia futura: va a dedicarse a ser taxista; recorrerá las calles de Madrid -o tal vez Pekín- al volante de su taxi mientras espera pacientemente la ocasión de llevar en él a su vecino desaparecido, del que se ha enamorado, y todos los acontecimientos importantes para ella tendrán como banda sonora, a partir de ese momento, la ópera de Puccini Turandot, de la que se siente protagonista. Lo cotidiano y lo extraordinario se entremezclan en esta novela de amor y terror protagonizada por un personaje femenino inolvidable. En ella están presentes todas las claves del universo narrativo de Millás: la ironía, el desdoblamiento del yo, las distintas facetas que componen la realidad, la soledad y la constatación de una verdad inmutable, la de que el espejo en el que miramos nuestras vidas nos devuelve, indefectiblemente, una perspectiva insólita ante la que solo cabe el más puro de los asombros. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A new novel by Juan Jose Millás: a story of love and revenge with all the literary clues distinct to the author. As if it were an algorithm, she set up the following principles on which his future existence will be based: she will be a taxi driver, she will travel through the streets in Madrid, waiting for the chance to meet again with the man that she has fallen in love with; and all the important moments in her life will have as soundtrack the \"Nessum dorma\" by Turandot. The mundane and the extraordinary are intertwined in this novel that has all the keys to Millas’ narrative universe: irony, different facets of reality, unfolding of the self, solitude, and the confirmation of an absolute truth: the mirror in which we look at our lives, always gives us an unusual perspective of amazement.",

She just wanted to get rich. Not crazy, eccentric-billionaire rich, like many of the visitors to her hometown of Artemis, humanity’s first and only lunar colony. Just rich enough to move out of her coffin-sized apartment and eat something better than flavored algae. Rich enough to pay off a debt she’s owed for a long time. So when a chance at a huge score finally comes her way, Jazz can’t say no. But engineering the perfect crime is just the start of her problems—because her little heist is about to land her in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis herself. Trapped between competing forces, pursued by a killer and the law alike, she’ll have to hatch a truly spectacular scheme to have a chance at staying alive and saving her city. Jazz is no hero, but she is a very good criminal. That’ll have to do.",

"description": "NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A sweeping, unforgettable novel from The New York Times best-selling author of Maine, about the hope, sacrifice, and love between two sisters and the secret that drives them apart. \"This year’s best book about family.\" —Ron Charles, The Washington Post Nora and Theresa Flynn are twenty-one and seventeen when they leave their small village in Ireland and journey to America. Nora is the responsible sister; she's shy and serious and engaged to a man she isn't sure that she loves. Theresa is gregarious; she is thrilled by their new life in Boston and besotted with the fashionable dresses and dance halls on Dudley Street. But when Theresa ends up pregnant, Nora is forced to come up with a plan—a decision with repercussions they are both far too young to understand. Fifty years later, Nora is the matriarch of a big Catholic family with four grown children: John, a successful, if opportunistic, political consultant; Bridget, quietly preparing to have a baby with her girlfriend; Brian, at loose ends after a failed baseball career; and Patrick, Nora's favorite, the beautiful boy who gives her no end of heartache. Estranged from her sister, Theresa is a cloistered nun, living in an abbey in rural Vermont. Until, after decades of silence, a sudden death forces Nora and Theresa to confront the choices they made so long ago. A graceful, supremely moving novel from one of our most beloved writers, Saints for All Occasions explores the fascinating, funny, and sometimes achingly sad ways a secret at the heart of one family both breaks them and binds them together.",

"description": "A Guardian Best Book of the Year “A writer who is gifted not just with extraordinary talent but also with a subtle, original, and probing mind.” —Amitav Ghosh In one of the singularly imaginative stories from Kanishk Tharoor’s Swimmer Among the Stars, despondent diplomats entertain themselves by playing table tennis in zero gravity—for after rising seas destroy Manhattan, the United Nations moves to an orbiting space hotel. In other tales, a team of anthropologists treks to a remote village to record a language’s last surviving speaker intoning her native tongue; an elephant and his driver cross the ocean to meet the whims of a Moroccan princess; and Genghis Khan’s marauding army steadily approaches an unnamed city’s walls. With exuberant originality and startling vision, Tharoor cuts against the grain of literary convention, drawing equally from ancient history and current events. His world-spanning stories speak to contemporary challenges of environmental collapse and cultural appropriation, but also to the workings of legend and their timeless human truths. Whether refashioning the romances of Alexander the Great or confronting the plight of today’s refugees, Tharoor writes with distinctive insight and remarkable assurance. Swimmer Among the Stars announces the arrival of a vital, enchanting talent.",

"description": "In the third installment of the acclaimed series, the Sattouf family begins to implode under the pressure of Hafez al-Assad's regime and the suffocation of their rural Syrian village. The Arab of the Future is the widely acclaimed, internationally bestselling graphic memoir that tells the story of Riad Sattouf’s peripatetic childhood in the Middle East. In the first volume, which covers the years 1978–1984, his family moves between rural France, Libya, and Syria, where they eventually settle in his father’s native village of Ter Maaleh, near Homs. The second volume recounts young Riad’s first year attending school in Syria (1984–1985), where he dedicates himself to becoming a true Syrian in the country of Hafez al-Assad. In this third volume, (1985–1987), Riad’s mother, fed up with the grinding reality of daily life in the village, decides she cannot take it any longer. When she resolves to move back to France, young Riad sees his father torn between his wife’s aspirations and the weight of family traditions.",
