Verfolgt von einer Meute gemeiner Mitschüler fliehen Eustachius und Jill durch eine geheimnisvolle Tür in einer Steinmauer – und befinden sich mitten in Narnia Der weise und mächtige Löwe Aslan hat einen besonderen Auftrag für sie. Gemeinsam mit Trauerpfützler, dem melancholischen Moorwackler, sollen sie den verschollenen Prinzen und Thronfolger Rilian finden. Ihr Auftrag führt sie bis in das finstere Unterland, wo die grüne Hexe schon auf sie wartet.
Adán Stein había sido uno de los payasos más populares de Alemania durante los años treinta. De origen judío, fue recluido en un campo de concentración, donde se libró de la muerte a cambio de tranquilizar y entretener a miles de prisioneros que eran dirigidos hacia las cámaras de gas. Ahora Adán es el cabecilla de un hospital psiquiátrico para supervivientes del Holocausto situado en el desierto del Néguev. El constante desafío de Adán a la autoridad del hospital y sus perturbadoras interpretaciones del pasado sacuden la institución y la despiertan de su letargo. Más lúcido que los médicos y más loco que cualquiera de los pacientes, Adán lucha incesantemente por comprender el sentido de un mundo en el que la línea entre cordura y locura se ha borrado irreversiblemente. El hombre perro es una de las más significativas novelas hebreas sobre el Holocausto, y la obra maestra de Yoram Kaniuk, uno de los grandes de las letras hebreas actuales. Con la emoción y la humanidad distintivas de Kaniuk, El hombre perro ofrece una demoledora visión del infierno moderno.
Anthony James weighs 315 pounds, is possibly schizophrenic, and he’s just been kicked out of college. He’s rescued by his mother, sister, and grandmother, but they may not be altogether sane themselves. Living in the basement of their home in Queens, New York, Anthony is armed with nothing but wicked sarcasm and a few well-cut suits. He intends to make horror movies but takes the jobs he can handle, cleaning homes and factories, and keeps crossing paths with a Japanese political prisoner, a mysterious loan shark named Ishkabibble, and packs of feral dogs. When his invincible 13-year old sister enters yet another beauty pageant — this one for virgins — the combustible Jameses pile into their car and head South for the competition.
Will Anthony’s family stick together or explode? With electrifying prose, LaValle ushers us into four troubled but very funny lives.
Lucretia’s best friend and upstairs neighbor Sunny — a sweet pitbull of a kid, even as she struggles with a mysterious illness — has gone missing. The only way to get her back is for Lucretia to climb the rickety fire escape of their Queens tenement and crawl through the window of apartment 6D, portal to a vast shadowland of missing kids ruled by a nightmarish family of mutants whose designs on the children are unknown. Her search for Sunny takes Lucretia through a dark fantasyland where she finds lush forests growing from concrete, pigeon-winged rodents, and haunted playgrounds. Her quest ultimately forces her to confront the most frightening specter of all: losing, forever, the thing you love the most.
From master storyteller Yan Lianke, winner of the prestigious Franz Kafka Prize and a finalist for the Man Booker International Prize, is a powerful, daring novel of the dog-eat-dog psychology inside a labor camp for intellectuals during Mao’s Great Leap Forward. A renowned author in China, and among its most censored, Yan’s mythical, sometimes surreal tale cuts to the bone in its portrayal of the struggle between authoritarian power and man’s will to prevail against the darkest odds through camaraderie, love, and faith.
In the ninety-ninth district of a sprawling reeducation compound, freethinking artists and academics are detained to strengthen their loyalty to Communist ideologies. Here, the Musician and her lover, the Scholar — along with the Author and the Theologian — are forced to carry out grueling physical work and are encouraged to inform on each other for dissident behavior. The prize: winning the chance at freedom. They're overseen by preadolescent supervisor, the Child, who delights in reward systems and excessive punishments. When agricultural and industrial production quotas are raised to an unattainable level, the ninety-ninth district dissolves into lawlessness. And then, as inclement weather and famine set in, they are abandoned by the regime and left alone to survive.
Personaggi senza identità, senza nessuna adesione al mondo in cui vivono, con una percezione distorta e allucinata che li induce a compiere gesti aberranti. Delitti poco esemplari, come quello del ragazzo che uccide i professori piú amati per salvarli dalla crudeltà dei compagni, o quello della moglie che uccide il marito per farlo smettere di russare. I gesti estremi vengono compiuti senza alcuna estetizzazione, solo con estraneità, con la consapevolezza, o forse l'intuizione che le menzogne non possono essere perdonate, che le soluzioni arrivano e arriveranno sempre tardi. Vite alla deriva che cercano ostinatamente di tornare a casa, di rivedere in faccia il proprio passato. Schegge narrative che raccontano un mondo mostruosamente duro, di fronte al quale domina il senso di estraneità e di smarrimento.
Maggie O'Dell, autorevole esperta di serial killer e profili criminali
dell'FBI, non si spiega perché Cunningham, il suo capo, le abbia
affidato due casi così lontani dalle sue competenze. Una sparatoria in
un capanno isolato in cui sono morti alcuni agenti e l'omicidio della
figlia di un senatore. Ma andando a fondo nelle indagini, Maggie e il
suo fedele compagno, l'agente speciale Tully, scoprono che esiste un
legame tra i due casi, e che entrambe le piste portano al reverendo
Joseph Everett. Capo carismatico di una setta religiosa, Everett si è
creato un vasto seguito di adepti. I giovani uccisi nel capanno erano
membri della sua chiesa, e l'assassinio della ragazza è stato perpetrato
dopo un raduno organizzato dal reverendo.
He’s the scion of an honorable and revered family. A dedicated soldier and distinguished legislator. Loyal proponent of the Republic and trusted ally of the Jedi Order. Groomed by the ruthless politician and Sith Lord who would be Emperor, Governor Wilhuff Tarkin rises through the Imperial ranks, enforcing his authority ever more mercilessly… and zealously pursuing his destiny as the architect of absolute dominion.
Rule through the fear of force rather than force itself, he advises his Emperor. Under Tarkin’s guidance, an ultimate weapon of unparalleled destruction moves ever closer to becoming a terrifying reality. When the so-called Death Star is completed, Tarkin is confident that the galaxy’s lingering pockets of Separatist rebellion will be brought to heel — by intimidation… or annihilation.
Until then, however, insurgency remains a genuine threat. Escalating guerrilla attacks by resistance forces and newfound evidence of a growing Separatist conspiracy are an immediate danger the Empire must meet with swift and brutal action. And to bring down a band of elusive freedom fighters, the Emperor turns to his most formidable agents: Darth Vader, the fearsome new Sith enforcer as remorseless as he is mysterious; and Tarkin — whose tactical cunning and cold-blooded efficiency will pave the way for the Empire’s supremacy and its enemies’ extinction.

For Commander Cassidy Hart, staying alive is only one of her day-to-day problems. As a newly minted Senator of the State of California, she must travel to Monterey Bay with the hope of bringing an agreement between the militia forces and the Pacific Northwest Alliance as the United States desperately battles against the shadow invasion forces of Omega.
But Monterey is not what it seems. The threat of another Omega attack is imminent, and Commander Chris Young — the love of Cassidy’s life — is not the only important person who is keeping secrets. Assassinations, betrayal and startling revelations lie ahead.
The war is now. Fight or die.
