Black Leopard, Red Wolf is the first novel in Marlon James''''s Dark Star Trilogy.Tracker is a hunter, known throughout the thirteen kingdoms as one who has a nose - and he always works alone. But he breaks his own rule when, hired to find a lost child, he finds himself part of a group of hunters all searching for the same boy. Each of these companions is stranger and more dangerous than the last, from a giant to a witch to a shape-shifting Leopard, and each has secrets of their own.As the mismatched gang follow the boy''''s scent from perfumed citadels to infested rivers to the enchanted darklands and beyond, set upon at every turn by creatures intent on destroying them, Tracker starts to wonder: who really is this mysterious boy? Why do so many people want to stop him being found? And, most important of all, who is telling the truth and who is lying?Marlon James weaves a tapestry of breathtaking adventure through a world at once ancient and startlingly modern. And, against this exhilarating backdrop of magic and violence, he explores the fundamentals of truth, the limits of power, the excesses of ambition, and our need to understand them all.

A poesía de Rosalía de Castro agroma nun triángulo de furias: a reivindicación das mulleres; a meniña gaiteira que tatexa palabras inaugurais dunha nación non prevista; e a ira contra a precariedade, a compaixon polas persoas inocentes e tristes, a certeza da vulnerabilidade. Nese triangulo de furias afirmase a Rosalia feminista. Dalle voz a moza, a violada, a solteira, a vella, a nai obrigada a deixar o fillo so, as mulleres confinadas entre o amor romantico e unha idea estreita de familia. Avisa dos perigos do gaiteiro da festa, do emigrante que non ha volver, da violencia do poder. Defende a xustiza pola man. E crea a viºva de vivo: esa muller soa, sen rostro, sen amor e tamen sen amo que resolve, como unha Penelope navegante, deixar de agardar.

Cando Xosé Carneiro, coñecido psicanalista e polémico colaborador televisivo, aparece co peito aberto no seu piso da compostelá rúa República do Salvador, son dúas as cousas que chaman a atención do xornalista Aquiles Vega e da profesora Sofia Deneb. A primeira e a brutalidade, a violencia extrema con que o crime foi levado a cabo. A segunda, ese detalle que non encaixa na escena: unha estraña peza de ferro chantada no corazon. En realidade, a de Carneiro non e mais que a primeira dunha cadea de mortes en serie, unha carreira contra o reloxo na que Aquiles tera non so que comprender que e o que esta pasando, senon cal e o papel que en toda esta historia xoga un dos nomes mais importantes da nosa literatura, aquel sempre rodeado de misterio e escuridade. E, sobre todo, tera que saber quen e Adriano... Logo do exito recibido pola sua primeira novela, Os fillos do mar, regresa Pedro Feijoo cunha nova aventura, desta volta chea de versos, de sangue, de amor e de odio, pero mantendo intacta a sua maxima por bandeira: ante todo, o entretemento e o pracer de lectores e lectoras.

A beautiful, savage, tender, searing work of art. Sentence after perfect sentence it grips and does not let go.''

The studio was filled with the rich odour of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden, there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn...The Picture of Dorian Gray is a philosophical novel by the writer Oscar Wilde, first published complete in the July 1890 issue of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine.Dorian Gray is the subject of a full-length portrait in oil by Basil Hallward, an artist who is impressed and infatuated by Dorian's beauty; he believes that Dorians beauty is responsible for the new mode in his art as a painter. Through Basil, Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, and he soon is enthralled by the aristocrat's hedonistic worldview: that beauty and sensual fulfilment are the only things worth pursuing in life. Newly understanding that his beauty will fade, Dorian expresses the desire to sell his soul, to ensure that the picture, rather than he, will age and fade. The wish is granted, and Dorian pursues a libertine life of varied and amoral experiences; all the while his portrait ages and records every soul-corrupting sin.
