Cando a xornalista Marta Vilas descobre o cadáver dun motorista aboiando en augas do porto vigués do Berbés, non pode imaxinar que o pequeno xoguete que o seu asasino agochou no peto do morto está a piques de mudarlle a vida. Aquel click, das primeiras series da desaparecida Famobil, e o unico fio que parece unir este asasinato co do garda civil rescatado por un pesqueiro de Cangas. E cos cadaveres que, ao longo dos dias seguintes, iran aparecendo na ria de Vigo. Pero ninguen mais o sabe. Sobre a mesa de Marta Vilas comezan a amorearse os xoguetes de coleccion. Un click motorista roubado do peto dun motorista, un click garda civil atopado preto do corpo dun membro da benemerita, un click pirata esquecido no coche dun informatico asasinado... Para a xornalista, apartada da seccion de Sucesos por diferenzas co redactor xefe do seu diario, descubrir a identidade do criminal convertese nunha obsesion. Ainda que nunca podera contar todo o que sabe. Trepidante e por momentos divertida, Sete Caveiras fia unha serie de asasinatos en escenarios reais con sinalados acontecementos dos anos oitenta. Esta novela, tamen homenaxe da autora a profesion xornalistica, tece unha engaiolante trama de intriga con banda sonora da Movida.

Aged thirteen, Theo Decker, son of a devoted mother and a reckless, largely absent father, survives an accident that otherwise tears his life apart. Alone and rudderless in New York, he is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. He is tormented by an unbearable longing for his mother, and down the years clings to the thing that most reminds him of her: a small, strangely captivating painting that ultimately draws him into the criminal underworld. As he grows up, Theo learns to glide between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty antiques store where he works. He is alienated and in love - and his talisman, the painting, places him at the centre of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle.The Goldfinch is a haunted odyssey through present-day America and a drama of enthralling power. Combining unforgettably vivid characters and thrilling suspense, it is a beautiful, addictive triumph - a sweeping story of loss and obsession, of survival and self-invention, of the deepest mysteries of love, identity and fate.

In this lively comedy of love and money in sixteenth-century Venice, Bassanio wants to impress the wealthy heiress Portia, but lacks the necessary funds. He turns to his merchant friend, Antonio, who is forced to borrow from Shylock, a Jewish moneylender. When Antonio's business falters, repayment becomes impossible, and by the terms of the loan agreement, Shylock is able to demand a pound of Antonio's flesh. Portia cleverly intervenes, and all ends well (except of course for Shylock).

A pesar da súa brevidade é unha obra moi grande.

"Watney''s gallows humour and his brushes with death as he uses every ounce of his intelligence and astronaut''s training to claw his way out of the pit will have you laughing and gasping by turns. I read this book in a weekend. I didn''t think I''d have the time to - but Andy Weir''s edge-of-the-seat storytelling didn''t leave me any choice." (Richard Madeley, Richard and Judy Book Club)"Andy Weir''s terrific ''lost in space'' novel is an absolute page turner from first to last ... Tautly-written, full of extraordinary and fascinating detail about life in a frozen red desert so far from home, The Martian is one of the best thrillers either of us has read in years. Highly recommended." (Judy Finnigan, Richard and Judy Book Club)"The best book I''ve read in ages. Clear your schedule before you crack the seal. This story will take your breath away faster than a hull breech. Smart, funny, and white-knuckle intense, The Martian is everything you want from a novel." (Hugh Howey New York Times bestselling author of Wool)"The amount of research here is astounding. We''re suckers for well-grounded fiction, and on the technical side, The Martian is exemplary ... witty ... funny" (SFX)"A book I just couldn''t put down! It has the very rare combination of a good, original story, interestingly real characters and fascinating technical accuracy.reads like MacGyver meets Mysterious Island." (Astronaut Chris Hadfield Commander of the International Space Station and author of An Astronaut''s Guide to Life on Earth)

Edició de Roger Canadell i Montse CaraltCoincidint amb el desè aniversari de la seva mort, Edicions 62 publica un recull de poemes inèdits del poeta Miquel Martí i Pol.

Il romanzo comincia seguendo le due protagoniste bambine, e poi adolescenti, tra le quinte di un rione miserabile della periferia napoletana, tra una folla di personaggi minori accompagnati lungo il loro percorso con attenta assiduita. L'autrice scava nella natura complessa dell'amicizia tra due bambine, tra due ragazzine, tra due donne, seguendo la loro crescita individuale, il modo di influenzarsi reciprocamente, i buoni e i cattivi sentimenti che nutrono nei decenni un rapporto vero, robusto. Narra poi gli effetti dei cambiamenti che investono il rione, Napoli, l'Italia, in piu di un cinquantennio, trasformando le amiche e il loro legame. E tutto cio precipita nella pagina con l'andamento delle grandi narrazioni popolari, dense e insieme veloci, profonde e lievi, rovesciando di continuo situazioni, svelando fondi segreti dei personaggi, sommando evento a evento senza tregua, ma con la profondita e la potenza di voce a cui l'autrice ci ha abituati. Si tratta di quel genere di libro che non finisce. O, per dire meglio, l'autrice porta compiutamente a termine in questo primo romanzo la narrazione dell'infanzia e dell'adolescenza di Lila e di Elena, ma ci lascia sulla soglia di nuovi grandi mutamenti che stanno per sconvolgere le loro vite e il loro intensissimo rapporto.
