Territory
by Emma BullWYATT EARP. DOC HOLLIDAY. IKE CLANTON. YOU THINK YOU KNOW THE STORY. YOU DON'T. Tombstone, Arizona, in 1881 is the site of one of the richest mineral strikes in American history, where veins of silver run like ley lines under the earth, a network of power that belongs to anyone who knows how to claim and defend it. Above the ground, power is also about allegiances. A magician can drain his friends' strength to strengthen himself, and can place his friends between himself and danger. The one with the most friends stands to win the territory. Jesse Fox left his Eastern college to travel West, where he's made some decidedly odd friends, like the physician Chow Lung, who insists that Jesse has a talent for magic. In Tombstone, Jesse meets the tubercular Doc Holliday, whose magic is as suppressed as his own, and attracts the sorcerous attention of Wyatt Earp. Mildred Benjamin is a young widow making her living as a newspaper typesetter, and- unbeknownst to the other ladies of Tombstone-selling tales of Western derring-do to the magazines back East. Like Jesse, Mildred has episodes of seeing things that can't possibly be there. When a failed stagecoach holdup results in two dead, Tombstone explodes with speculation about who attempted the robbery. The truth could destroy Earp's plans for wealth and glory, and he'll do anything to bury it. Meanwhile, outlaw leader John Ringo wants the same turf as Earp. Each man courts Jesse as an ally as they struggle for control of the territory. Events are building toward the shoot-out of which you may have heard. But you haven't heard the whole, secret story until you've read Emma Bull's unique take on an American legend, in which absolutely nothing is as it seems. . . .
Terror
by Ferdinand von SchirachRepresentada en casi un centenar de teatros en más de veinte países, donde ha cosechado un éxito inaudito, Terror aborda sin tapujos el abrumador problema ético al que se enfrenta el ser humano en situaciones límite, invitándonos a una reflexión profunda sobre el valor y el precio de la libertad. Cada vez que se produce un atentado terrorista en un país occidental, provocando un sentimiento general de pánico y estupor en la sociedad, surge inevitablemente un dilema difícil de resolver: ¿estamos dispuestos a sacrificar nuestra libertad individual en aras de la seguridad colectiva? ¿Cuál es el camino correcto para preservar la democracia? Como oficial de la Fuerza Aérea de Alemania, Lars Koch debe intervenir en una situación de emergencia: un terrorista ha secuestrado un avión de Lufthansa y pretende estrellarlo contra el Allianz Arena de Múnich, donde en ese momento setenta mil espectadores asisten a un partido de fútbol internacional entre las selecciones de Alemania e Inglaterra. Contraviniendo las órdenes de sus superiores, y consciente de la responsabilidad que deberá asumir por su terrible acto, Koch derriba el aparato para impedir la masacre en el estadio, causando la muerte de las ciento sesenta y cuatro personas que viajaban a bordo. Así pues, el juicio al que se somete al infortunado piloto es el núcleo de la primera obra teatral del célebre abogado criminalista alemán Ferdinand von Schirach. Con una trama sencilla pero contundente, el autor de superventas como Crímenes y Culpa nos conmina a tomar partido como miembros del jurado popular que deberá dictar una sentencia de tintes dramáticos y consecuencias inquietantes. La crítica ha dicho...«Terror es teatro en su máxima expresión.»The Sunday Times «Una historia tan compleja que seguirás pensando en ella mucho después de que se falle la suerte del acusado.»The Times «Von Schirach se nutre del legado del drama clásico como un foro donde considerar los dilemas humanos más acuciantes.»Financial Times
