Ten years after the publication of Annihilation, the surprise fourth volume in Jeff VanderMeers blockbuster Southern Reach Trilogy.When the Southern Reach Trilogy was first published a decade ago, it was an instant sensation, celebrated in a front-page New York Times story before publication, hailed by Stephen King and many others. Each volume climbed the bestsellers list; awards were won; the books made the rare transition from paperback original to hardcover; the movie adaptation became a cult classic. All told, the trilogy has sold more than a million copies and has secured its place in the pantheon of twenty-first-century literature.And yet for all this, for Jeff VanderMeer there was never full closure to the story of Area X. There were a few mysteries that had gone unsolved, some key points of view never aired. There were stories left to tell. There remained questions about who had been complicit in creating the conditions for Area X to take hold; the story of the first mission into the Forgotten Coastbefore Area X was called Area Xhad never been fully told; and what if someone had foreseen the world after Acceptance? How crazy would they seem?

Elaine Pagels revolucionó nuestra comprensión de los orígenes del cristianismo con sus obras Los Evangelios Gnósticos y El Evangelio de Judas. Ahora, en la cumbre de una larga trayectoria, aborda la figura mas trascendental: Jesus. En Asombro y milagros emprende la busqueda de como un desconocido joven de Galilea inspiro una religion que cambio el curso de la historia. El libro se lee como un thriller historico, en el que cada capitulo descifra un enigma a la luz de los Evangelios: ¿por que se afirma que Jesus nacio de una virgen?, ¿que significado oculto tienen sus milagros?, ¿como surgio la creencia en su resurreccion? La pluma de Pagels despliega un relato vibrante en el que no solo Jesus cobra vida, sino tambien sus seguidores. De esta forma, entendemos que algunos de los detalles mas convincentes de la vida del mesias son en realidad explicaciones que sus discipulos ingeniaron para encubrir hechos incomodos, como, por ejemplo, que Jesus fue un hijo ilegitimo; o que su cuerpo fue abandonado de manera humillante para pudrirse y ser arrojado a una fosa comun. El relato oficial dice que resucito de entre los muertos y se mostro a sus apostoles con su cuerpo glorificado. Jesus no es un mesias fallido, su reino es una metafora: el vive en nosotros. Trascendiendo la investigacion historica Asombro y milagros es una indagacion sobre el poder eterno de Jesus para inspirar a la humanidad.

Un siglo más tarde, la incómoda claridad profética de La crisis del mundo moderno sigue siendo una lectura urgente. René Guénon (1886-1951) desnuda en estas páginas la raíz de nuestro tiempo: un extravio espiritual tan profundo que convierte a la modernidad en una autentica Edad Oscura. Frente al mito del progreso y la fe ciega en la ciencia profana, se revela la fractura que ha separado al ser humano de la Tradicion, de esos principios eternos que han dado sentido y cohesion a todas las civilizaciones. Este libro no ofrece consuelos faciles ni criticas superficiales. Con precision implacable, Guenon desmonta el individualismo, el materialismo y el racionalismo que sostienen al mundo moderno. No se trata de simples errores circunstanciales, advierte, sino de sintomas de una decadencia profunda que nos arrastra al abismo. Su mensaje es directo y radical: solo un retorno consciente al saber de los antiguos, a la ciencia sagrada, puede abrir una salida frente al nihilismo que nos rodea. Almuzara presenta una nueva edicion, traducida y anotada por Antonio de Diego Gonzalez, que devuelve a Guenon toda su vigencia y actualidad. No es un tratado para eruditos del pasado, sino una brujula para orientarse en medio del caos presente. Leerlo es aceptar una verdad incomoda: el ser humano, sin la Tradicion y sin lo sagrado, no tiene porvenir, solo ruina y desarraigo. Hace casi un siglo, Guenon trazo el mapa de nuestra oscuridad. Hoy, sus palabras brillan como faro ante el naufragio de la modernidad. Antonio de Diego, profesor de la Universidad de Malaga. Una obra imprescindible para comprender el porque del nihilismo contemporaneo y la raiz de la ofuscacion ideologica de nuestro tiempo, pero tambien para sembrar la sanacion y la respuesta. Gonzalo Rodriguez Garcia, autor de El aullido del Lobo.

Según Peter Beinart, hay una narrativa que domina la vida comunitaria judía: la de la persecución y el victimismo. Es algo que borra gran parte de los matices de la tradición religiosa judía y distorsiona nuestra comprension de Israel y Palestina. Tras Gaza, donde se han utilizado los textos, la historia y el idioma judios para justificar el genocidio y la hambruna, Beinart sostiene que los judios deben cambiar de narrativa. Despues de esta guerra, cuyo horror resonara durante generaciones, deben ofrecer una nueva respuesta a la pregunta: ¿que significa ser judio?Ser judio tras la destruccion de Gaza contiene un argumento provocador que ampliara y enriquecera uno de los debates mas importantes de nuestro tiempo. Es un libro que solo Peter Beinart podria escribir: una obra llena de pasion, pero mesurada que reune su experiencia personal, su profundo conocimiento de la historia, su aguda comprension de los dilemas politicos y morales, y una vision clara del futuro.
