Mil cosas que no te dije antes de perderte

«El último resquicio, el último rescoldo, la última esencia que la niñez deja en nuestro corazón, desaparece de un plumazo con la noticia de la muerte de un padre. Es entonces cuando te das cuenta de que todo lo vivido anteriormente tan solo ha tenido como finalidad prepararte para ese momento» Cuando David recibe la noticia de la muerte de su padre, decide regresar a su ciudad natal para tratar de esclarecer las extrañas circunstancias en las que tuvo lugar. Entonces descubre que ha pasado demasiado tiempo alejado de todos, y que muchas cosas han cambiado en su ausencia. Granada es el telón de fondo de esta trepidante historia en la que nada es lo que parece, y todo el mundo parece tener algo que ocultar.??<

Witch World Saga 1-3: The Original Three Books

<div><p>The first three books in Andre Norton's classic <em>Witch World</em> setting, collected in one ebook. </p><p><strong>Witch World</strong><br> The first book in the classic Witch World saga by beloved fantasy and science fiction author Andre Norton. Simon Tregarth, a man on the run, escapes from our world into another, where magic still has power. He finds new purpose in the service of Estcarp, whose witches use their ancient knowledge of magic to protect their home. But a new threat is rising: the mysterious Kolder, who possess powers and technology unlike anything known in the Witch World. It will take Simon and the forces of Estcarp all their might, their courage, and their magic to drive back the insurmountable enemy. </p><p><strong>Web of the Witch World</strong><br> Fantasy and science fiction Grand Master Andre Norton’s Witch World saga continues in <em>Web of the Witch World</em>. After repulsing the Kolder, the land of Estcarp is safe, until a sudden disappearance sends Simon Tregarth and his allies on a quest to stop an enigmatic new danger. Though the Kolder were defeated before, they rise again with a vengeance, and their plot is even more sinister than before. From Karsten in the south to the swamps of Tor to the Kolder’s impenetrable stronghold and beyond, Simon must fight to stop the invaders of his adopted home once and for all. </p><p><strong>Year of the Unicorn</strong><br> <em>Year Of the Unicorn</em> returns to Andre Norton’s Witch World with a tale of adventure and magic. The orphan Gillan grew up in an abbey in High Hallack, always knowing she was different and never feeling at home. When the lords of High Hallack pledge twelve brides to the Were Riders in exchange for their protection, Gillan is faced with an opportunity few would consider: to take the place of one of the twelve chosen women and go off to parts unknown to marry one of these strange wild men. But Gillan leaps at the chance to leave the only home she has ever known in the hopes of finding something she was meant to do. And her rare gift to see through illusions that fool others will prove vital in a journey where nothing is as it seems.</p><p class="description"> </p><p>**</p></div><

<div><p class="description">In the gray light before dawn, Jaelithe felt a summons that thrilled and alarmed her. When she left the sisterhood of he Wise Women to marry Simon Tregarth, she believed that she had laid aside her power as a sorceress.

Bookworm

<p>Elaine is an orphan girl who has grown up in a world where magical ability brings power. Her limited talent was enough to ensure a magical training but she's very inexperienced and was lucky to get a position working in the Great Library. Now, the Grand Sorcerer - the most powerful magician of them all - is dying, although initially that makes little difference to Elaine; she certainly doesn't have the power to compete for higher status in the Golden City. But all that changes when she triggers a magical trap and ends up with all the knowledge from the Great Library - including forbidden magic that no one is supposed to know - stuffed inside her head. This unwanted gift doesn't give her greater power, but it does give her a better understanding of magic, allowing her to accomplish far more than ever before. It's also terribly dangerous. If the senior wizards find out what has happened to her, they will almost certainly have her killed. The knowledge locked away in the Great...<

The Very Ugly Duckling

<div><p><em>Not every ugly duckling becomes a swan ...</em><br> In the wake of the disastrous attack on the Golden City, Lady Light Spinner has become Grand Sorceress and Elaine, the Bookworm, has been settling into her positions as Head Librarian and Privy Councillor. But any hope of vanishing into her books is negated when a new magician of staggering power appears in the city, one whose abilities seem to defy the known laws of magic.<br> Johan is a <em>Powerless</em>, a person born to a magical family yet lacking powers of his own. His dreams of a better life are curbed by his family, who see him as a cripple at best and a burden at worst. But when a political protest goes horrifically wrong, Johan discovers that his true powers have merely been buried, waiting for their chance to explode into the world. As he comes to grips with his newfound talents, he discovers that he finally has a chance to realise his ambitions ...<br> ... But for the Golden City, reeling after the devastation of six months earlier, he may be the greatest threat the city has ever seen. Elaine must unlock the mystery behind his powers before the political factions can kill him ... or use him to unleash a nightmare. </p><p>Returning to well-loved characters from Christopher Nuttall’s bestselling <em>Bookworm</em> and introducing new ones, <em>Bookworm II: The Very Ugly Duckling</em> explores power – and the effect it has on the human mind.</p><p>**</p><h3>About the Author</h3><p> </p><p>Christopher Nuttall has been planning sci-fi books since he learned to read. Born and raised in Edinburgh, Chris created an alternate history website and eventually graduated to writing full-sized novels.

As an indie author he has self-published a number of novels, but this is his fifth fantasy to be published by Elsewhen Press.

The Best Laid Plans

<p class="description">Elaine and Johan are preparing to leave Golden City, with Daria and the travellers, in order to search for the Witch-King. The Grand Sorceress instructs Inquisitor Cass to help them. But before Elaine can leave she is arrested by two Inquisitors on the orders of the Emperor.  When she resists she is hit with a powerful spell that forces her to concentrate all her efforts on protecting her mind from its intrusion. Taken to the palace she finds that the Grand Sorceress has been removed and the Throne has accepted an heir to the Empire. Realising this has to be the work of the Witch-King, Elaine must defeat the spell that is eating away at her defences if she is to escape and destroy him. Meanwhile, Johan, Daria and Cass are trying to find a way to get to Elaine and break her out of the cell in which she is being held.   The Golden City is still widely devastated from the disastrous battle for power that followed the death of the previous Grand Sorcerer.  The recent escalating breakdown of social order can only be made worse by the return of an Emperor and the imposition of martial law. The Privy Councillors and Heads of the Great Houses succumb to the power of the new Emperor, as he amasses a huge army. It is up to Elaine and her friends, with some unexpected help, to prevent an all-out war.The third instalment in the Bookworm series, The Best Laid Plans follows on immediately from the events in The Very Ugly Duckling, with Elaine and Johan joined by other favourite characters as they try to track down the Witch-King.</p><

Marchand de Poison / Les Batailles de la Vie

Christopher Nuttall

Full Circle

<div><p>In his cave, the Witch-King mused on the changing nature of time. At one level his enemy was randomness, the fickle chances that might disrupt his plans as they had in the past. But he could no longer rely on waiting for such perturbations to be smoothed out by the passage of time. His influence, even his very existence, had always remained unsuspected, but now Elaine and a handful of others not only knew about him but were intent on his destruction and suspected where his body was being maintained. They were unlikely to succeed, but he couldn’t entirely dismiss them, especially as Elaine was the only other magician who understood the deeper layers of magic and she was bonded to Johan who had yet to realise how powerful his own magic really was. Unable to leave his hiding place yet, he would have to rely on the new Emperor to stop her – a man permanently on the brink between sanity and madness, who was easily steered to unwittingly prepare the way for the Witch-King’s return. <br> Meanwhile Elaine, Dread, Daria and Johan were slowly making their way towards Ida in the hope that Queen Sacharissa would allow them access to the catacombs where Elaine was sure the lich was hiding. </p><p> </p><p>With the publication of this, the fourth and final instalment in the Bookworm series, the story is complete. But this is a bitter-sweet experience for the many fans worldwide who adore the characters with which Christopher Nuttall has populated the exhilarating world of the Bookworm. Happy to see such an exciting conclusion to the story, we are all sad that such a fantastic series has to end.</p></div><

Treasure Hunters

<div><p>From the #1 <em>New York Times </em>bestselling author of <em>Middle School, the Worst Years of My Life </em>and <em>I Funny </em>comes a brilliantly original new adventure series, jam-packed with action, humor, and heart! </p><p>The Kidd siblings have grown up diving down to shipwrecks and traveling the world, helping their famous parents recover everything from swords to gold doubloons from the bottom of the ocean. But after their parents disappear n the job, the kids are suddenly thrust into the biggest treasure hunt of their lives. They'll have to work together to defeat dangerous pirates and dodge the hot pursuit of an evil treasure hunting rival, all while following cryptic clues to unravel the mystery of what really happened to their parents--and find out if they're still alive. </p><p>**</p><h3>From Booklist</h3><p>Homeschooling takes on a whole new meaning when home is a sailing ship and you have the world’s coolest parents. Not that it matters after your mom goes missing in Cyprus, and, a few months later, your dad (a renowned treasure hunter and oceanographer) disappears from your ship’s deck during a fierce storm in the Caribbean. Along with their older brother and sister, twins Bick and Beck vow to carry on the family treasure-hunting business despite the dangers posed by a vicious rival and his minions, including modern-day pirates in sometimes ludicrous disguises. When not dealing with threats or searching for treasure, the kids wonder which seemingly helpful adults they can trust. Bick narrates the story, while Beck illustrates it. From kidnapping to underwater speargun fights, action is the name of the game here, bolstered by bits of comedy. Although the premise and plot are wholly unconvincing, the fast-paced, first-person narrative is entertaining. With 10 treasures (not to mention two parents) waiting to be discovered, it looks like a new series is on the horizon. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: It’s a new series co-authored by the #1 New York Times best-selling Patterson. Get ready for demand-ho! Grades 4-6. --Carolyn Phelan </p><h3>About the Author</h3><p class="description"> </p><p>James Patterson has had more "New York Times" bestsellers than any other writer, ever, according to "Guinness World Records."

¿Qué le espera al mundo con Donald Trump?

Viendo los perfiles tan diversos, generados por la personalidad y los planes del propio Donald Trump, y por una carga mediática que quiso hacerlo perder a cualquier precio, es urgente hacer cuanto antes un análisis realista para tener una idea de lo que viene. Porque la campaña ya pasó, ya es absurdo fijarse sólo en la parte de su personalidad que sugiere una completa insensatez, o en su propaganda absurda y agresiva que tanto le ayudó para ganar votantes. Es prudente analizar más cosas sobre él, el contexto en el que va a gobernar, sus motivaciones como patriota norteamericano, que son la columna vertebral de su política, y hasta algunas cosas no tan incoherentes que ha dicho hasta ahora. Que son pocas.<

Sebastián era un niño solitario, sin amigos, que vivía en un barrio de mala muerte del México profundo.

Les quatre journées d'Amerigo Vespucci

<div><div style="text-align: justify;">A l'occasion des cinq cents ans de sa mort, la vie splendide et romancée d'Amerigo Vespucci : navigateur, aventurier, cartographe, négociant et explorateur, qui donna son nom à l'Amérique. A l'instar de Colomb, il traversa plusieurs fois l'Atlantique pour découvrir d'autres passages vers les Indes et cartographier les nouveaux rivages. Etrange destin que celui de ce marin florentin dont la renommée dépassa celle des plus grands navigateurs de son temps, et qui aujourd'hui semble tombé dans l'oubli... En s'appuyant sur les rares écrits d'Amerigo, Olivier Ikor nous livre le roman de sa vie : vers 1510, à Séville, Amerigo, vieillissant, commence la rédaction de ses Mémoires. Il évoque sa jeunesse insouciante à Florence, son amour passionné et partagé pour Simonetta, la " Sans pareille ", muse de son ami le peintre Botticelli. Amours dangereuses... Amerigo doit fuir la ville. Le voilà dans l'ambassade florentine auprès de Louis XI obligé de faire l'espion. Il retourne à Florence, revoit Simonetta qui tombe enceinte. L'enfant naît, mais la mère est empoisonnée par le frère de Laurent le Magnifique. Contraint de fuir à nouveau, après de nombreuses aventures, Amerigo se retrouve à Séville. Ami de Colomb, de Pinzón, de Pacheco, de Dias et de tous les fabuleux navigateurs qui révélèrent le monde, Amerigo va lever les voiles et découvrir... l'Amérique. Engagé successivement par les rois d'Espagne, puis par le roi du Portugal, pour cartographier les nouvelles terres et délimiter les territoires espagnols et portugais, Amerigo, lui, n'a qu'un seul but : trouver un nouveau cap de Bonne-Espérance et oeuvrer pour la science. Il raconte ses quatre voyages, la souffrance des marins, humbles proscrits, la morgue des capitaines et leur incompétence, la rencontre avec des indigènes hostiles - parmi lesquels la tribu des cannibales - , les voluptés des sauvagesses, l'or qui rend fou, les savants qui dessinent le monde, le rêve d'un passage vers l'Inde aux épices et surtout l'idée que la Terre est immense, pleine de promesses, que les hommes qui la peuplent sont aussi semblables que divers. Amerigo est un humaniste. Mais il lui faut affronter les blêmes inquisiteurs et les barbus de tout poil. Aux victimes de l'intolérance, juifs ou proscrits, il offre un nouveau monde, une terre promise, où ils pourront enfin trouver la paix, la terre du bois brésil.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.amazon.fr/Les-quatre-journ%C3%A9es-dAmerigo-Vespucci/dp/2221115511">http://www.amazon.fr/Les-quatre-journées-dAmerigo-Vespucci/dp/2221115511</a><br></div></div><

El quinto elemento

Espionaje, ciberguerra y terrorismo. Una amenaza real e inminente. La Tercera Guerra Mundial ha comenzado, y todos somos soldados en sus trincheras. El nuevo gran conflicto internacional trasciende todas las fronteras físicas y se libra simultáneamente en cientos de países. El desarrollo tecnológico y la creciente sofisticación de las herramientas digitales han convertido Internet en el campo de batalla más grande que ha conocido el hombre y sus consecuencias son todavía impredecibles, incalculables. Espionaje diplomático, competencia empresarial, ciberterrorismo, robo de secretos militares, sabotaje industrial, marketing, publicidad. La web ha dejado de ser la manzana mordida que imaginó Apple para transformarse en una manzana podrida, por cuyos agujeros se desliza, al margen de la ley, todo un tráfico de información y datos que la mayoría de ciudadanos ignora. Gobiernos y empresas conocen nuestra identidad, nuestras actividades privadas y leen nuestros correos. El 11-S inauguró la era del espionaje institucionalizado y nadie está a salvo de él. Es por nuestra seguridad, afirman. Así, el siglo XXI pasará a la historia como el tiempo de la gran paradoja, como el siglo en el que la seguridad nos llevó a la guerra.<

Holocaustum

La emigración forzada a la que muchos españoles hubieron de hacer frente a consecuencia de la Guerra Civil, la masiva presencia española en los campos de concentración nazi y la labor de los diplomáticos españoles en el extranjero, los cuales arriesgando su vida no dudaron en actuar en conciencia salvando la vida de miles de españoles, sefardíes y judios durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Personajes reales conviven con otros ficticios que nos ayudarán a conocer una parte olvidada de la historia de España. Y de fondo, un recorrido por la Sevilla actual.<
