Al cabo de un tiempo, la niña se convirtió en una ladrona que robaba libros y regalaba palabras. Con estas palabras se escribió una historia hermosa y cruel que ahora ya es una novela inolvidable.

The extraordinary #1 New York Times bestseller that is now a major motion picture, Markus Zusak's unforgettable story is about the ability of books to feed the soul. When Death has a story to tell, you listen. It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still. Liesel Meminger is a foster girl living outside of Munich, who scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can't resist-books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement. In superbly crafted writing that burns with intensity, award-winning author Markus Zusak, author of I Am the Messenger, has given us one of the most enduring stories of our time. "The kind of book that can be life-changing." --The New York Times "Deserves a place on the same shelf with The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank." --USA Today

The New York Times bestselling author of The Time in Between returns with a magnificent new novel set in 1860s Mexico City, Havana, and Spain about a self-made man who loses his fortune overnight but finds his destiny as he works to restore a legendary vineyard to its former glory, and to win the love of the combative widow who once owned the property.Now available in Spanish. Mauro Larrea sees the fortune that he had built after years of hardship and toil come crashing down on the heels of a calamitous event. Swamped by debts and uncertainty, he gambles the last of his last money in a daring move that offers him the opportunity to resuscitate his fortune. But when the unsettling Soledad Montalvo, wife of a London wine merchant, comes into his life, her passionate intensity lures him toward an unanticipated future. La Templanza spans diverse worlds, from the young Mexican republic to magnificent colonial Havana; from the West Indies to the Jerez of the second half of the nineteenth-century, when its wine trade with England turned the Andalusian city into a legendary cosmopolitan enclave. A novel replete with glories and defeats, with silver mines, family intrigues, vineyards, and splendid places whose grandeur has faded in time, La Templanza is a story of resilience in the face of adversity, of a lifeline forever altered by the force of passion.
The greatest power of literature is to break any limits and this book allows us to partake in this. Vargas Llosa discusses here some literary works such as Lolita, Death in Venice, The Stranger, Manhattan Transfer, Tropic of Cancer and The Tin Drum. This splendid work is an immersion in the views of the author, one of the most brilliant writers of our time, about the purpose of literature and the present and future of books.
Set in Medellin, La virgen the los sicarios is a shout of protest against the violence destroying Colombia. The protagonist, Fernando, has a lover who is killed, and Fernando unwittingly takes up with the youngster who did the killing. The killings typical of the real Medellin are taken to the absurd in a dark, sharp book that blames the church and the political elite for Colombia's tragedy.
Pedro y Elizabeth no se conocan y nada indicaba que hubiera entre ellos la menor afinidad, salvo que ambos eran jvenes y que la infelicidad que nublaba su vida- cargada de ansiedad, depresiones y fracasos sentimentales- los haba llevado a ponerse en manos del mismo psiquiatra. Esta circunstancia en apariencia casual no tard en revelarse como una estratagema del destino. El doctor Weiss, ya para entonces con la mente abierta a realidades que la mayora de los terapeutas eluda o negaba de plano, supo intuir que Pedro y Elizabeth estaban ligados indisolublemente. Fueron necesarias muchas sesiones de terapia - siempre bajo hipnosis- y el entusiasmo de un mdico capaz de transgredir el terco materialismo de la ciencia al uso, para que ambos recuperaran la memoria de anteriores reencarnaciones y descubrieran los lazos que los unan ms all del tiempo. Brian Weiss, el hombre que facilit el reencuentro de dos almas gemelas destinadas a amarse para siempre, es el autor de este libro. Quienes hayan ledo sus ttulos anteriores -Muchas vidas, muchos maestros y A travs del tiempo- conocen ya la categora cientfica y humana de este psiquiatra que ejerce su saber guindose por una verdad olvidada: no hay cura posible si antes no sana el corazn, algo que slo el amor logra.
