by César Pérez GellidaEl presente pack de la segunda trilogía de César Pérez Gellida construye la historia posterior de tres de los grandes protagonistas de la primera: Ramiro Sancho, Erika Lopategui y Ólafur Olafsson. Tras concluir la persecución del psicópata Augusto Ledesma, el inspector Ramiro Sancho vuelve al trabajo y se enfrenta al terrible y cruel secuestro de una adolescente. Una batalla de la que saldrá damnificado y que lo llevará a apartarse del cuerpo y a llevar una aparente vida de devaneos y vicios para olvidar. Mientras, Erika y Ólafur, con su nuevo compañero redimido, Uriel, emprenden una persecución sin tregua a los miembros de la organización criminal llamada Congregación de los Hombres Puros. Pero no será fácil, necesitarán la ayuda de todos sus aliados, atravesarán el Atlántico e incluso algunos perderán la vida en el intento. El pack incluye: Sarna con gusto, Cuchillo de palo y A grandes males. La crítica ha dicho...«Con Sarna con gusto Pérez Gellida alcanza la madurez en una obra original y de sofisticada crueldad. Los fieles al género Gellida estamos de suerte.»Dolores Redondo «Una de las mejores novelas que he leído.»Juan Gómez Jurado «Un altísimo nivel literario secundado con un lenguaje exquisito y brillantísimos diálogos. Una novela plagada de dilemas morales esencialmente kafkianos y de decisiones que nadie desearíamos nunca tener que tomar.»Zenda «Una vez más, me quito el sombrero ante el maestro. Aunque parecía imposible, César se ha superado a sí mismo con una novela muy trabajada, de trama compleja pero al mismo tiempo muy entretenida e instructiva.»Blog Libros que hay que leer
Trilogía «Versos, canciones y trocitos de carne»: Contiene Memento mori, Dies irae, Consummatum est y los Spin off
by César Pérez GellidaLa trilogía que ha reinventado la novela negra, ahora reunida en un solo ebook. Descubre a Augusto Ledesma.Descubre «Versos, canciones y trocitos de carne». La investigación del cruento asesinato de una joven ecuatoriana que aparece junto a unos misteriosos versos ocupa las primeras páginas de Memento mori, el inicio de la trilogía y el inicio de la historia del asesino más narcisista y más peculiar que ha pasado por las páginas de un libro desde hace mucho tiempo: Augusto Ledesma. Sin embargo, para combatir sus pecados aparece con pericia su antagonista, el inspector Ramori Sancho, para el que los brutales crímenes se acabarán convirtiendo en una completa obsesión. Así, en un juego peligroso en el que la música, la literatura y la violencia más pura se mezclan sin rubor, estos personajes viajarán, no solo a través de la Península, sino de toda Europa, en un intentode saldar -cada cual a su manera- sus deudas consigo mismos y con sus respectivos pasados. Reseñas:«Hay dos formas de hacer suspense: acometerlo a la perfección o ser distinto. Gellida es lo segundo, pero sin dejar en ningún momento de ser lo primero.»Ángeles López, La Razón «Suspense bien construido, en un impensable escenario, con una prosa honesta que se bebe como el mejor de los Riberas del Duero que en sus páginas se mencionan. No creo equivocarme si digo que asistimos a lo que podría ser el establecimiento del #género Gellida#, que promete continuar.»Ángeles López, Qué Leer «Memento mori es una novela escrita en full HD y tiene sonido Dolby Surround de última generación. En la medida en que se vaya sumergiendo en el argumento verá que la nitidez en las descripciones es insuperable y que la banda sonora le envuelve sin remisión.»Michael Robinson «Personajes memorables, thriller de alta tensión, imposible dejar de leer: César Pérez Gellida corre el riesgo de convertirse en el Stieg Larsson español.»John Carlin «Me impactó cómo el autor ha sido capaz de retratar el mal entre canciones y poemas. Es una lectura que te atrapa desde el inicio por su escritura meticulosa y envolvente. Y tiene un detective que recuerda al mejor Carvalho de Vázquez Montalbán.»Sandra Barneda «Memento mori (recuerda que morirás) es un novela policiaca de las que remueven al lector en su butaca, un thriller psicológico de los que inquietan hasta la última página, una apasionante y adictiva historia que araña los pilares del género negro con el fin inequívoco de hacerse perenne en el recuerdo.»Marca.com «Con Memento Mori he descubierto un novelón criminal de los que nunca se escriben en este país. Uno de los protagonistas, un asesino en serie, podría proyectar su mirada contra los ojos del mismísimo Hannibal Lecter, ese coloso inmortal, y no pestañearía. Literatura made in Spain de alto voltaje.»Ramón Palomar, Las Provincias «Pérez Gellida posee esa cualidad innata de todo buen estratega de saber cuándo hay que jugársela, y ahora saborea desde la trinchera editorial el éxito del que se sabe tenido en cuenta.»Diario Sur

Trinidad Noir: The Classics (Akashic Noir)
by V. S. Naipaul Elizabeth Nunez Derek Walcott Samuel Selvon Barbara Jenkins Michael Anthony Earl Lovelace Robert Antoni Shani Mootoo Wayne Brown Elizabeth Walcott-Hackshaw Sharon Millar Lawrence Scott C.L.R. James Harold Sonny Ladoo Eric Roach Willi Chen Ismith Khan Jennifer Rahim"To travel through the nineteen works of poetry and prose in this remarkable anthology is to experience Trinidad and Tobago through a kaleidoscopic lens. The writings are grouped into four historically significant periods ('Leaving Colonialism,' 'Facing Independence,' 'Looking In,' and 'Losing Control'). It's an effective construct; the reader experiences island culture and history as a part of its time, formed by a pastiche of nationality, culture, and social class. Standouts abound."--Publishers Weekly, starred review, Pick of the Week"Pairing nicely with 2008's Trinidad Noir, this retrospective collection features classic stories from writers who were part of the literary wave that crested with Trinidadian independence in 1962. Notable authors include Derek Walcott, V.S. Naipaul, Elizabeth Nunez, Shani Mootoo, and the volume's editors. Holds strong appeal for fans of noir and literary writing."--Library Journal "Lovelace and Antoni offer a 'subversive' take on island culture to complement the 21st-century look at Trinidad offered by Lisa Allen-Agostini and Jeanne Mason's Trinidad Noir...Whether history repeats itself or progress is stalled by people's infinite capacity to get in their own ways, these 19 reprinted tales offer a bittersweet perspective on the cussedness of human nature."--Kirkus ReviewsAkashic Books continues its award-winning series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir. Each book comprises all new stories, each one set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the geographic area of the book. Now, two of Trinidad's top writers masterfully curate this literary retrospective of the nation's best writing over the past century.Reprints of classic stories (and poems) by: C.L.R. James, Derek Walcott, Samuel Selvon, Eric Roach, V.S. Naipaul, Harold Sonny Ladoo, Michael Anthony, Willi Chen, Earl Lovelace, Robert Antoni, Elizabeth Nunez, Ismith Khan, Lawrence Scott, Wayne Brown, Jennifer Rahim, Elizabeth Walcott-Hackshaw, Sharon Millar, Barbara Jenkins, and Shani Mootoo.From the introduction by Earl Lovelace:Where Trinidad is different even from its Caribbean sisters is the degree to which it has developed its folk arts--its carnival, its steel band, its music--as forms of both rebellion and mediation. These forms have not only continued to entertain us; they ritualize rebellion, speak out against oppression, and affirm the personhood of the downpressed. This rebellion is not evident with the same intensity as it used to be. Independence and political partisanship and the growing distance of the middle class from the folk, among other developments, have seen a fluctuation in the ideals of rebellion. Yet what is incontestable is that these arts have established and maintained a safe space for conflict to be resolved or at least expressed, not in a vacuum but in the face of a status quo utilizing its muscle and myths to maintain a narrative that upholds its interests.As the situation becomes more complex and information more crucial, our literature is best placed to challenge or to consolidate these myths. Individually, we are left to decide on whose behalf our writing will be employed. In this situation, the struggle has been within the arts themselves--whether they see themselves as an extension of rebellion or art as entertainment. Although late on the scene and without the widespread appeal of the native and folk arts, our literature can lay claim to being part of these arts of rebellion, upholding and making visible the dismissed and ignored, lifting the marginalized into personhood, persuading us that a new world is required, and establishing this island as a place in which it can be imagined and created.
