Newt has been to hell and back with his friends. The Glade. The Maze. The Scorch. The inner halls of WICKED. But now he has a burden that can't be shared with Thomas and the other, the Flare. And Newt can't bear the thought of his friends watching him descend into madness as he succumbs to the virus. Leaving only a note, Newt departs the Berg before the Gladers return from their mission into Denver, Colorado. From there, he experiences the gritty nightmare of life on the streets, running from the infected and those hunting them, until he ends up in the Crank Palace, the last dumping ground of those without hope. Although Newt thought he was running away from his friends to save them from himself, along the way he meets a young mother named Keisha and her son, Dante, who end up saving Newt in a way he could never have imagined."--Publisher's description.

From John Banville, one of the world's greatest writers, comes The Blue Guitar, a story of theft and the betrayal of friendship. Adultery is always put in terms of thieving. But we were happy together, simply happy. Oliver Orme used to be a painter, well known and well rewarded, but the muse has deserted him. He is also, as he confesses, a petty thief; he does not steal for gain, but for the thrill of it. HIs worst theft is Polly, the wife of his friend Marcus, with whom he has had an affair. When the affair is discovered, Oliver hides himself away in his childhood home. From here he tells the story of a year, from one autumn to the next. Many surprises and shocks await him, and by the end of his story, he will be forced to face himself and seek a road towards redemption.

A meditation of breathtaking beauty and profundity on love and loss and death." (Financial Times).

Eztanda batzuek iratzarri ninduten. Begiak zabaldu nituen, ikaratuta. Berehala itxi, eta eskuak burura eraman nituen. Sekulako buruko mina neukan, burua lehertzeko zorian, ez nekien lehertzen hasia ez ote. Begiak kostata zabaldu, eta, larrituta, gelako ilunpeak arakatu nituen, eztanden sorburuaren bila. Hasieran bestela eman arren, konturatu nintzen eztandak ez zirela nire buruan gertatzen ari. Eskerrak! Non, ordea?Honelaxe hasten da kontakizuna, Rafaren ahotik, gau zoro baten ostean. Ama da gelako ate joka dabilena. Berri txarrak dakarzkio, gelako neska batek, Monika ederrak, sexu-abusu salaketa jarri behar du haren kontra. Harrituta gelditu da Rafa. Ez du ezer ulertzen, pikutara bidali zuela Monika, hori bai, baina hortik aparte... Bart mozkor-mozkor egina zegoen eta hortik aparte ez du ezer gogoratzen, ezta nola iritsi diren bere gelara neskaren kuleroak. Baina kulero arrosak lurretik hartu ditu amak, untxitxo bat duten kulero salatzaileak.Zer gertatu zen ikasle eguneko gau zoroan?

(1993. urtean hondarribiar emakume talde batek alardean parte hartzea eskatu zuen lehen aldiz. Ondorengo historia gogor eta garratza eta, aldi berean, eder eta hunkigarria saiatuko da kontatzen egilea, gertatutakoaz gogoeta eginez. Mina eta poza, biak dira irakasle onak. Horregatik du liburuak Bidean ikasia izenburu.)Inor gutxik izango du kalean ahoz gora iraindua izateko ohitura. Inor gutxi dago horretarako prestatua. Iraintzaileak ere ez du seguru asko ohitura hori, baina ekintzek frogatzen dute hobekiago egokitzen dela iraintzailea egoera berrira, berak sortua delako egoera hori, berak aukeratu duelako ekintza.Iraintzen duenak uste du, iraindua mintzeko ahalmenaz gain, iraindua umiltzeko boterea ere baduela. Kalean, zuk ezagutzen ez duzun gizon gazte batek puta esaten badizu, ez da atsegina, noski. Baina irain berak zure semearen edo bikotekidearen ahotan eragin desberdina luke. Semearenak umilduko zintuzke, kaleko gaztearenak, agian ez. Lastima ere senti dezakezu iraintzailearekiko.[]Irainaren ezpatak bi aho ditu, eta bigarrenak iraingilea zauritzen du.
