Némesis
by Philip RothEn el «calor sofocante de la Newark ecuatorial» una espantosa epidemia causa estragos y amenaza con dejar a los niños de la ciudad de Nueva Jersey mutilados, paralizados o minusválidos, e incluso con matarlos. Este es el sorprendente tema de la nueva y desgarradora obra de Roth: una epidemia de polio que tiene lugar en un tiempo de guerra, el verano de 1944, y sus efectos sobre la comunidad de Newark, regida por la cohesión y los valores de la familia, y sobre sus niños.El protagonista de Némesis es Bucky Cantor, un joven de veintitrés años responsable de las actividades al aire libre de los alumnos de una escuela, lanzador de jabalina y levantador de pesas, que vive volcado en sus pupilos y frustrado por no haber podido ir a la guerra con sus coetáneos a causa de un defecto de visión. Cuando la polio empieza a asolar el patio de recreo, Roth se concentra en los dilemas de Cantor y en las realidades cotidianas a las que este se enfrenta, y nos conduce a través de todas las emociones que una plaga semejante puede engendrar: el miedo, el pánico, la cólera, el desconcierto, el sufrimiento y el dolor.Alternando el escenario de las sofocantes y malolientes calles de la Newark asediada y el de Indian Hill, un inmaculado campamento infantil sito en lo alto de las montañas Pocono, donde «el aire estaba exento de toda polución», Roth retrata a un hombre bueno, enérgico y armado con las mejores intenciones que libra su particular guerra contra la epidemia. El autor se muestra en todo momento delicadamente preciso al abordar la transición de Cantor hacia la tragedia personal, y no menos preciso al tratar el tema de la infancia.En esta novela volvemos a encontrar el sombrío interrogante que recorre las últimas cuatro novelas de Roth, Elegía, Indignación, La humillación y ahora Némesis: ¿qué decisiones determinan fatalmente la vida? ¿Hasta qué punto somos impotentes ante las circunstancias?

O Alerta dos Corvos
by Raquel Villaamil Viviane SilvestreBrigit retorna à sua cidade natal em busca da única família que possui: sua avó. Das poucas lembranças que lhe restam, pouca coisa permanece na cidade quase abandonada de Ballymote. Suas ruas, casas e florestas escondem mistérios que parecem voltar no tempo quando, a partir das lendas, surge algo bastante real e monstruoso. Confrontos ancestrais, rivalidades amargas e um futuro incerto, onde Brigit deve encontrar todas as respostas, investigar seus pesadelos e descobrir a verdade em um mundo sombrio que não mais lhe pertence e que é revelado nas sombras quando os corvos alertam. "Raquel Villaamil é capaz de atualizar as lendas mitológicas da Irlanda em O Alerta dos Corvos. Os seres e as raças formidáveis dos manuscritos do século XI, O Livro das Invasões, possuem um paralelo entre os personagens do século XXI que habitam nestas páginas. Um livro de mistério, fantasia e ação, no qual os segredos mergulham em lendas milenares e agora se aproximam do desfecho, onde o amor e sua busca atravessam transversalmente o raciocínio, para terminar em uma conclusão inesperada". “Um livro com matizes góticas e um toque de romantismo, que o captura desde a primeira página graças à sua originalidade, à boa narrativa, pois Brigit é uma heroína bastante peculiar e o ritmo é frenético desde o princípio. O Alerta dos Corvos é um dos melhores romances de fantasia espanhóis que eu já li recentemente. Se gosta deste gênero, você não pode perder!".

O Anel Dos Desejos Da Velha Rainha Maab
by Steve VernonTudo o que Ramsey quer é um pouco de sorte e muito ouro. Pouco sabe ele, mas um passeio pela floresta lhe trará a sorte que ele precisa. Será mesmo? Esta é a história de um jovem agricultor, um anel dos desejos e uma fada chamada Rainha Maab. “Conto de fadas à moda antiga narrando o seu melhor.” – Recapitulado O QUE AS PESSOAS DIZEM SOBRE STEVE VERNON “O gênero precisa de sangue novo e Steve Vernon é como uma transfusão.” – Edward Lee, autor de FLESH GOTHIC e CITY INFERNAL “Se Harlan Ellison, Richard Matheson e Robert Bloch fizessem uma suruba em uma banheira de hidromassagem, e então uma equipe de cientistas entrassem, filtrassem a água e misturassem o restante do DNA em um tubo de ensaio, o experimento genético resultante provavelmente cresceria e se transformaria em Steve Vernon.” – Bookgasm “Steve Vernon é uma espécie de anomalia no mundo da literatura de terror. Ele é uma das mais modernas e novas vozes do gênero, embora sua carreira tenha mais de vinte anos. Escrevendo com uma rara arrogância e confiança, Steve Vernon pode levar seus leitores a uma gama de emoções, desde medo e repulsa a piedade e riso.” – Cemetery Dance “Armado com um senso de humor bizarro, uma enorme quantidade de originalidade, um talento para correr riscos e uma forte compreensão de caracterização – Steve com certeza tem talento.” – Dark Discoveries “Steve Vernon nasceu para escrever. Ele é um verdadeiro bom negócio e temos sorte de tê-lo.” – Richard Chizmar Minha mãe me acha bem legal também.
