Una impactante historia de poder, secretos y crueldad, dirigida desde los niveles más altos del Vaticano, que apartó a miles de niños de sus madres. Hay una crueldad impactante en imaginar a una embarazada que teje calcetines para el bebe que le arrebataran de los brazos en cuanto nazca. Era una imagen habitual, sin embargo, en los orfanatos desde los que la Iglesia puso en marcha un autentico negocio de adopciones que, entre los años cincuenta y setenta del siglo pasado, llevo a muchas madres a no volver a saber nada de aquellos hijos a los que tuvieron que renunciar. Maria Laurino recupera aqui testimonios y, con una documentacion impecable, considera la interseccion entre el catolicismo, las mujeres, el sexo y el pecado, y sobre como moldea la vida privada. Un relato conmovedor y brillante sobre la tenacidad de las personas al buscar sus origenes y tratar de responder a aquellas preguntas que han estado largo tiempo enterradas.

Classic Second World War crime featuring Miss Silver, the retired governess turned private eye.

In a world plagued by divine war between humans and vampires, Kyrene scrapes by as a bounty hunter, bearing a blessed sword from the goddess of justice. But when she suffers a devastating loss, she kills the very goddess she had been sworn to serve in a fit of rage - making her a target to gods and mortals alike. When a vampire prince offers her survival in exchange for one final job - to slay the gods themselves - Kyrene is set on a path of vengeance. Septimus is calculating and silver-tongued, but worst of all, he sees more of her than she wants to reveal. Together, they must take down the ultimate marks, all while navigating a web of prophecies, secrets, and curses. But their growing connection is most dangerous of all when it could jeopardize Kyrene's ultimate goal: to betray him and kill the goddess of vampires, even if it means sacrificing love for revenge. The Lion in the Deathless Dark is a compulsive dark fantasy from Carissa Broadbent, and the first book in the Bloodborn Duet, the fifth book in the Sunday Times bestselling Crowns of Nyaxia series.

What's exciting about a piece of bread 4,000 years old? Or some pots of paint abandoned in the eruption at Pompeii? Why should we be bothered with the distant past anyway? What's the point?The life, art and literature of ancient Greece and Rome have something to offer everyone. They are not the property of wealthy white men only. They make us wonder how to make sense of people who lived long ago (from angry landlords to giggling senators) - and to think harder about our own world, to look at it differently.In Talking Classics, Mary Beard points to the surprising connections between antiquity and the present. From revolutionaries to dictators, Bob Dylan to Beyonce, she joins forces with the varied modern characters who have been transfixed by the ancient world. It's not compulsory, she argues, to be excited by antiquity, but it's a shame not to be.After half a century teaching and studying classics, she fills the book with lively stories, curious facts and some good gossip. Talking Classics explains why the deep past does really affect us all.
