A pesar de su flirteo con Bianca en la Academia Medianoche, Balthazar lleva siglos siguiendo una norma: no enamorarse. Sabe bien que su corazón de vampiro no puede latir, pero sí romperse de dolor con cada amor perdido. Así que se ha encerrado en un mundo oscuro y solitario, sin felicidad ni sufrimiento. Sin embargo, cuando el viejo vampiro que acabó con su vida humana reaparezca para amenazar la de Skye, una buena amiga de Lucas, Balthazar deberá tomar partido para vengarse... y protegerla. «Salió del baño y Balthazar la miró brevemente. O esa era su intención, porque fue incapaz de despegar los ojos de ella. Llevaba una camiseta negra y mallas, pero ambas prendas se ceñían a su cuerpo menudo, sus pechos, su cintura, sus caderas, sus muslos... "Con humanas, no", se recordó mientras pensaba en su primer amor. Pero aquella vieja regla le pareció muy lejana. Skye rehuyó su mirada, como si le hubiera leído el pensamiento. Cuando volvió a mirarlo a los ojos, él sintió el impacto: un calor que le inundó las venas, tan real como la sangre. -Pues, si de verdad vas a quedarte hasta mañana... -Es lo mejor -dijo Balthazar, aunque sus probabilidades de poder pegar ojo acababan de disminuir de una forma espectacular. Esa noche no iba a dormir bien. -El banco que hay debajo de la ventana puede servirte. Pero eres muy alto; a lo mejor no estás cómodo...»
Balzac y la joven costurera china
by Dai SijieUn conmovedor homenaje al poder de la palabra escrita y al deseo innato de libertad. Dos adolescentes chinos son enviados a una aldea perdida en las montañas del Fénix del Cielo, cerca de la frontera con el Tíbet, para cumplir con el proceso de «reeducación» implantado por Mao Zedong a finales de los años sesenta. Soportando unas condiciones de vida infrahumanas, con unas perspectivas casi nulas de regresar algún día a su ciudad natal, todo cambia con la aparición de una maleta clandestina llena de obras emblemáticas de la literatura occidental. Así pues, gracias a la lectura de Balzac, Dumas, Stendhal o Romain Roland, los dos jóvenes descubrirán un mundo repleto de poesía, sentimientos y pasiones desconocidas, y aprenderán que un libro puede ser un instrumento valiosísimo a la hora de conquistar a la atractiva Sastrecilla, la joven hija del sastre del pueblo vecino. La crítica ha dicho...«Una auténtica joya de humor y poesía que hay que leer ya.»Le Nouvel Observateur «La pasión por la literatura occidental y la evocación de una educación sentimental convierten la lectura de esta primera novela en un auténtico placer.»L'Express «Si va a leer una sola novela, elija ésta: vale por cien.»Le Figaro «Estamos ante un verdadero regalo [...] Novela sutil, impregnada de una extraña belleza, que ningún amante de la buena literatura se debería perder.»Territorios «Un exquisito texto que les recomiendo [...] lo que Dai Sijie propone es recobrar el recuerdo de esa embriaguez sin resaca que proporcionan las buenas historias.»El País «[...] Una simplicidad y una eficacia narrativas que hacen de Balzac y la joven... un libro subyugante.»ABC Cultural «Les recomiendo encarecidamente que lean Balzac y la joven costurera china, de Dai Sijie, donde se explica cómo el arte puede ser fuente de vida, de inteligencia y felicidad.»La Vanguardia «La novela de Sijie conduce al corazón de la literatura: al lugar donde la palabra y la ficción son saberes de salvación, no por las ideas que puedan transportar sino porque abren mundos y resonancias con la palabra.»El Periódico

Dopo aver appreso della perdita del suo futuro marito, ha avuto un travaglio prematuro e ha perso sua figlia. Ora tutto ciò che gli resta sono tatuaggi neri, ricordando tutti quelli che ha perso. Quello, e il suo nuovo dojo, dove insegna arti marziali, Aikido e Kung-Fu. Un dojo che, al mattino presto, è infestato da teppisti della mafia russa, che affermano che il quartiere è loro e richiede... tasse per la protezione. Protezione che, ovviamente, Ada respinge a colpi. Sofferente, molto arrabbiata e ubriaca, l'ultima cosa che si aspetta all'alba alla porta del suo dojo, a parte il frinire dei grilli, è Kyle Nakamura, il figlio del suo maestro, presente in città dopo il recente assassinio del padre. L'ultima cosa che Ada si aspettava era che Kyle, quello sconosciuto alla sua porta, diventasse la sua ragione principale per respirare. Attenzione: un romanzo nero con erotismo esplicito, romanticismo, passione e azione, carico di dramma, linguaggio adulto, violenza esplicita e un amore così profondo da poter guarire qualsiasi ferita.
