El rey y el filósofo
by Daniel Guebel¿De qué charlan el Luis XIV de Francia y el señor Gottfried Leibniz cuando se encuentran? Nombrado embajador del Imperio Romano Germánico, el filósofo Gottfried Leibniz llega a Francia con una misión: convencer a Luis XIV de invadir Egipto. Sin embargo, aturdido por el teatro de extravagancias de la corte, su determinación va debilitándose poco a poco. El Rey lo evade por los pasadizos secretos y los salones de Versalles, lo embota con manjares, lo escandaliza con insinuaciones libertinas y lo involucra en intrigas palaciegas que amenazan con guerras, crímenes reales y matrimonios fantásticos. Cuando finalmente Leibniz y Luis XIV se encuentren, compartirán la conversación íntima, la perplejidad existencial, la exploración científica y los universos metafísicos, mientras mueven sus piezas en el juego diplomático que determinará el destino de Oriente y Occidente. Con potencia literaria y descarada ironía, Daniel Guebel hace estallar la exuberante arquitectura barroca -caprichosa y genial- de la mente del hombre de poder. La crítica dijo: «Guebel es genial, nunca ingenioso. Es el mejor novelista de su -mi- generación. El más monolítico, monolingüe y leve de nuestros grandes autores».Luis Chitarroni «La prosa subversiva de Guebel viene de Gógol y de Nabokov, incluso parecería un improbable Pynchon argentino. Pero Guebel es grande por sus propias cualidades: su dominio de una frase enroscada, pero con apariencia leve, gozosa y humorística; la riqueza de su imaginación; la erudición musical y filosófica; la pertinencia del pensamiento y su desplazamiento sutil hacia el terreno de la parodia mediante un juego de anacronismos». Carlos Pardo, Babelia «Daniel Guebel es -quizá con Aira- el escritor con mayor amplitud de registro de la literatura argentina, alguien capaz de pasar sin solución de continuidad de la invención más desenfrenada a la crudeza total del documentalismo autobiográfico. Guebel es nuestro Philip Roth: un escritor que cuando escribe no le tiene miedo a nada».Alan Pauls «Borges, un Guebel populista. Guebel, un Borges culto». Juan José Becerra

Riven
by Mindee ArnettFrom acclaimed fantasy author Mindee Arnett comes an epic, adventurous story of a young mercenary magic-user trying to escape the oppressive island of Riven—and a young noblewoman trying to change it forever.Mars Darksvane wants out. Out from under the thumb of Una, the crime boss who pulled him off the streets as a child and trained him as an assassin; out from the island country of Riven, where magic, in the form of a dangerous material called Ice, allows the rich to live in luxury and keeps the poor in thrall.Mars is a secret adept—a person born with the ability to channel the magic that flows beneath Riven—and while his power gives him abilities useful to an assassin, it also makes him a target. And when his last mission ends in tragedy, Mars finally decides it's time to escape to the mainland. No magic, no history, a new life on his own.But Una has other ideas. If Mars wants his freedom, he's going to have to perform a final job: protecting Fura Torvald—the heiress of the rich and powerful Torvald kith, and the daughter of the last man Mars was sent to kill—and stealing from her a mysterious object known only as the Primer.Mars has no interest in Fura or whatever the Primer is, nor in Riven's corrupt and oppressive politics; he just wants to do his job and get out. But as Mars comes to know more about Fura, the Primer, and the true nature of the power in Riven, he realizes that he will soon have to take a side in a fight he has avoided his entire life.Which side, however, he does not yet know.
