Lucifer: El primer ángel
by Marcelo HipólitoPara la creación del épico Lucifer: El primer ángel, el escritor Marcelo Hipólito realizó una extensa y detallada investigación basada en descubrimientos arqueológicos y en las enseñanzas del Taoísmo, Budismo, las creencias judío-cristianas, el Islamismo, Brahmanismo, entre otras creencias y filosofías milenarias. Desde el surgimiento de Dios a la ruina de toda la existencia, Lucifer, el primer ángel revela la verdadera naturaleza del Bien y el Mal, el sentido de la vida y de la muerte y que, incluso en el infierno es posible encontrar honor y sacrificio. Hipólito llena las lagunas narrativas milenarias que envuelven a Dios y a Lucifer, combinando imaginación y realismo, en un esfuerzo por reunir todas las incontables—y, muchas veces, conflictivas—versiones de esas leyendas en un único libro.
Lucifer: La Historia de un Ángel Caído
by Elizabeth BeckettLucifer es el ángel con una mala reputación. Es cierto, no lo llamaron el Ángel Oscuro por nada. Nació con la misión de traer las energías oscuras a la Tierra. Y lo ha hecho con pasión y persistencia. Nadie es más responsable que Lucifer del infierno en la Tierra: la soledad, la enfermedad y la violencia indescriptible que ha experimentado la humanidad durante cientos de miles de años. Y sin embargo... sus profundos esfuerzos sólo estaban dirigidos a probar las almas, forzando un equilibrio entre la oscuridad y la luz, y en el proceso, elevar la conciencia humana y cósmica. Conoce a Lucifer, el verdadero Lucifer, y nunca pensarás de la misma manera sobre la oscuridad y la luz, el bien y el mal, el Universo y la Tierra, o sobre ti mismo. La Historia de un Ángel Caído. Lucifer es una breve e intensa novela sobre el Ángel Oscuro con una mala reputación. La historia se desarrolla más de un millón de años atrás en el tiempo de la Tierra y sigue la vida de este singular ángel que se fijó un propósito particular para servir a la humanidad. Desde la creación celestial del ser humano, supervisada por la Hermandad Blanca universal, hasta el papel actual de Lucifer en la prueba del alma, el verdadero propósito del Ángel Oscuro en la evolución espiritual es revelado. ¡No tengas miedo! Lucifer es una historia llena de amor, luz y compasión incondicional por el viaje humano y la evolución de la conciencia del alma universal. Si alguna vez has sentido curiosidad por saber cómo se desarrollan algunas de las leyes universales como el karma y la causa y efecto, y por qué ocurre esto en la Tierra, o tienes preguntas profundas y sin respuesta sobre ¿Por qué yo?, entonces Lucifer es un libro para ti. En esta historia, el papel único de la Tierra en la interminable danza entre la oscuridad y la luz es narrado a través del viaje de la vida del intrépido y eternamente luminiscente (pero incomprendido) Ángel, Lucifer.<br/

Before long he and Seregil are embroiled in a sinister plot that runs deeper than either can imagine, and that may cost them far more than their lives if they fail.

Lucky Alan
by Jonathan LethemThe incomparable Jonathan Lethem returns with nine stories that demonstrate his mastery of the short form.Jonathan Lethem's third collection of stories uncovers a father's nervous breakdown at SeaWorld in "Pending Vegan"; a foundling child rescued from the woods during a blizzard in "Traveler Home"; a political prisoner in a hole in a Brooklyn street in "Procedure in Plain Air"; and a crumbling, haunted "blog" on a seaside cliff in "The Dreaming Jaw, The Salivating Ear." Each of these locates itself in Lethem-land, which can be discovered only by visiting. As in his celebrated novels, Lethem finds the uncanny lurking in the mundane, the irrational self-defeat seeping through our upstanding pursuits, and the tragic undertow of the absurd world(s) in which we live. Devoted fans of Lethem will recognize familiar themes: the anxiety of influence taken to reductio ad absurdum in "The King of Sentences"; a hapless, horny outsider summoning bravado in "The Porn Critic"; characters from forgotten comics stranded on a desert island in "Their Back Pages." As always in Lethem, humor and poignancy work in harmony, humans strive desperately for connection, words find themselves misaligned to deeds, and the sentences are glorious.From the Hardcover edition.
