Summary : Ser el hijo prodigio de la diosa más venerada en los últimos siglos es más que un peso para el centinela Nicolás Ikkar. Imposibilitado de dar a conocer quién es en realidad, se encuentra acorralado ante la inminente venida de los ángeles, que podrían romper la paz que su madre ha impuesto. ¿Podrá mantener a los seres, nacidos de la oscuridad a raya? ¿Podrá prepararlos para luchar contra los ángeles? La Sociedad de Asesinos deberá prepararse para la guerra, lo que podría ser una lucha sin trincheras entre el Cielo y la Tierra nunca antes vista. Una lucha donde sus protegidas, e incluso su madre, se podrían ver envueltas en una batalla que terminará con muchas vidas... Pero, sobre todo, humanas. El juramento los obliga a proteger a los humanos, pero la pregunta es: ¿qué harán ellos?, ¿lucharan codo a codo con los oscuros para mantener la Tierra como la conocen o simplemente dejarán a los ángeles tomarla nuevamente? Nicolás no está preparado para dejarse vencer y tampoco sus protegidas. La lucha se avecina y ni el mismo Nicolás cree que podrá mantener el orden. Puede que su búsqueda los lleve a terrenos que ni el mismo hijo de la diosa quiera pisar. Todos deberán luchar para mantenerse con vida y poner sus almas en ello si es que esperan ver el próximo anochecer. Ahora la única pregunta que pueden hacerse es: ¿quién es tu aliado y quien es tu enemigo? ¿Acaso podrá una mujer ser la clave para que el centinela Ikkar mantenga su cordura y no se vuelva asesino sangriento? Esas son preguntas a las cuales ni la bella Vatur se atreve a aventurar una respuesta.

Summary : Urania Cabral, a New York lawyer, returns to the Dominican Republic after a lifelong self-imposed exile. Once she is back in her homeland, the elusive feeling of terror that has overshadowed her whole life suddenly takes shape. Urania's own story alternates with the powerful climax of dictator Rafael Trujillo's reign. In 1961, Trujillo's decadent inner circle (which includes Urania's soon-to-be disgraced father) enjoys the luxuries of privilege while the rest of the nation lives in fear and deprivation. As Trujillo clings to power, a plot to push the Dominican Republic into the future is being formed. But after the murder of its hated dictator, the Goat, is carried out, the Dominican Republic is plunged into the nightmare of a bloody and uncertain aftermath. Now, thirty years later, Urania reveals how her own family was fatally wounded by the forces of history. In The Feast of the Goat Mario Vargas Llosa eloquently explores the effects of power and violence on the lives of both the oppressors and those they victimized. ' The Feast of the Goat will stand out as the great emblematic novel of Latin America's twentieth century and removes One Hundred Years of Solitude of that title.' Times Literary Supplement

Summary : 'A groundbreaking work . . . Federici has become a crucial figure for . . . a new generation of feminists' Rachel Kushner, author of The Mars Room A cult classic since its publication in the early years of this century, Caliban and the Witch is Silvia Federici's history of the body in the transition to capitalism. Moving from the peasant revolts of the late Middle Ages through the European witch-hunts, the rise of scientific rationalism and the colonisation of the Americas, it gives a panoramic account of the often horrific violence with which the unruly human material of pre-capitalist societies was transformed into a set of predictable and controllable mechanisms. It Is a study of indigenous traditions crushed, of the enclosure of women's reproductive powers within the nuclear family, and of how our modern world was forged in blood. 'Rewarding . . . allows us to better understand the intimate relationship between modern patriarchy, the rise of the nation state and the transition from feudalism to capitalism' Guardian

Summary : 'A cult figure.' Guardian'A dark and brilliant achievement.' Ian McEwan'Shamelessly clever ... Exhilaratingly subversive and funny.' Independent'A modern classic ... As relevant now as when it was first published. ' John BanvilleA young woman is in love with a successful surgeon; a man torn between his love for her and his womanising. His mistress, a free-spirited artist, lives her life as a series of betrayals; while her other lover stands to lose everything because of his noble qualities. In a world where lives are shaped by choices and events, and everything occurs but once, existence seems to lose its substance and weight - and we feel 'the unbearable lightness of being'.The Unbearable Lightness of Being encompasses passion and philosophy, infidelity and ideas, the Prague Spring and modern America, political acts and private desires, comedy and tragedy - in fact, all of human existence.What readers are saying:'Some books change your mind, some change your heart, the very best change your whole world ... A mighty piece of work, that will shape your life forever.''One of the best books I've ever read ... A book about love and life, full of surprises. Beautiful.''This book is going to change your life ... It definitely leaves you with a hangover after you're done reading.''A must read - loved it, such beautiful observations on life, love and sexuality.''Kundera writes about love as if in a trance so the beauty of it is enchanting and dreamy ... Will stay with you forever.''A beautiful novel that helps you understand life better ... Loved it.''One of those rare novels full of depth and insight into the human condition ... Got me reading Camus and Sartre.''One of the best books I have ever read ... An intellectual love story if ever there was one.'
