Harvard professor Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call while on business in Paris: the elderly curator of the Louvre has been brutally murdered inside the museum. Alongside the body, police have found a series of baffling codes. As Langdon and a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, begin to sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to find a trail that leads to the works of Leonardo Da Vinci - and suggests the answer to a mystery that stretches deep into the vault of history. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine code and quickly assemble the pieces of the puzzle, a stunning historical truth will be lost forever...

Establert al carrer Estret de la localitat, i gracies a la xafarderia de la seva cuinera, la inestimable Francisqueta, esdeve testimoni de la realitat quotidiana dels seus veins. La narracio, que segons l'autor es el simple resultat d'haver "passejat un mirall al llarg d'un cami", es construida a traves d'un pintoresc mosaic de personatges, la banalitat de la vida diaria dels quals es converteix en materia literaria d'una qualitat extraordinaria.

For he is the inventor of Ice-nine, a lethal chemical capable of freezing the entire planet.

'Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird'. A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the thirties. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much. "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a coming-of-age story, an anti-racist novel, a historical drama of the Great Depression and a sublime example of the Southern writing tradition.

Nightmarish and fiercely funny, William Burroughs' virtuoso, taboo-breaking masterpiece Naked Lunch follows Bill Lee through Interzone: a surreal, orgiastic wasteland of drugs, depravity, political plots, paranoia, sadistic medical experiments and endless, gnawing addiction. One of the most shocking novels ever written, Naked Lunch is a cultural landmark, now in a restored edition incorporating Burroughs' notes on the text, alternate drafts and outtakes from the original. "A masterpiece. A cry from hell, a brutal, terrifying, and savagely funny book that swings between uncontrolled hallucination and fierce, exact satire." (Newsweek). "Naked Lunch is a banquet you will never forget." (J. G. Ballard).

A novel of irreconcilable loves and infidelities, which embraces all aspects of human existence, and addresses the nature of twentieth-century ''Being''.

In love we find out who we want to be.In war we find out who we are.FRANCE, 1939In the quiet village of Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac says goodbye to her husband, Antoine, as he heads for the Front. She doesnt believe that the Nazis will invade France...but invade they do, in droves of marching soldiers, in caravans of trucks and tanks, in planes that fill the skies and drop bombs upon the innocent. When a German captain requisitions Viannes home, she and her daughter must live with the enemy or lose everything. Without food or money or hope, as danger escalates all around them, she is forced to make one impossible choice after another to keep her family alive.Viannes sister, Isabelle, is a rebellious eighteen-year-old girl, searching for purpose with all the reckless passion of youth. While thousands of Parisians march into the unknown terrors of war, she meets Gaetan, a partisan who believes the French can fight the Nazis from within France, and she falls in love as only the young can...completely. But when he betrays her, Isabelle joins the Resistance and never looks back, risking her life time and again to save others.With courage, grace and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of WWII and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the womens war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France--a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.

Obabakoak liburua urte askoren emaitza da. Ipuingintzaren tradizio luze eta zabalaren sintesia lortzen du Obabakoakek, Poe-rengandik XX. mendeko azken ipuinlarien lanetaraino: Maupassant, Txekhov, Villiers de L'Isle-Adam, Schowb, eta gertuagoko Waugh, Quiroga, Rulfo, Cortazar, Borges, Singer, Ipar Amerikako ipuin tradizioa, eta abar... Ahozko tradiziotik Joxe Arratibelen Kontu zaharrak eta Auspoa saila. XII. mendetik Europa liluratu duen Arabiako tradizio paregabea: Mila gau eta bat gehiago, Txinatik heldutako Marco Poloren bidaia fantasiatuak, eta abar luzea. Azken finean, literatura oso baten hausnarketa eta sintesi bat eskaintzen du Atxagak bere liburuan. Literatura eta bizitza bera imajinatzeko modu bat, begiratu bat. Munduari eta gizakiari erantzuna emateko abiapuntu eta estilo bereizia. Sinbolismoaren eta erromantizismoaren garaietatik landu eta garatu den tradizioa izan da berea ere. Eta, hala ere, abangoardiak eta Modernitate ausartenak erakutsitako irakasbideei ez die Atxagak ukorik egin, horra bost minututan nola ipuin bat idatzi lezioa. Literatur tradizio zaharra, ahozkotasuna, Modernitatea, zer ez; dena dago egilearen eskura eta guztion ondare da dagoeneko. Ondare aberats horrekin zer egin, horra Atxagaren azierto zoragarria.
