Magellania (Bison Frontiers of Imagination)
by Jules Verne Benjamin Ivry Olivier DumasMagellania—the region around the Strait of Magellan—is the home of Kaw-djer, a mysterious man of Western origin whom the indigenous people consider a demigod. A man whose motto is “Neither God nor master,” he has shunned Western civilization and its hypocrisies in order to live peacefully on an island claimed by no one. But when a storm strands a thousand immigrants on his island and they ask him to be the leader of their colony, Kaw-djer must decide whether to help them live and prosper in this foreign land at the end of the world or leave them to their fate. Jules Verne penned Magellania in 1897, following the death of his brother and at a time when his own health was beginning to fail. Originally titled Land of Fire and At the End of the World, Magellania was intended to reflect Verne’s deeply held religious and political beliefs as well as examine his own mortality. This first English translation of the original manuscript shows Magellania to be a unique, forceful novel that widens the scope of Verne’s literary legacy.

La magia de dos
by Cristina B. MoralesUn secreto. Un matrimonio forzoso. Una desgracia. Cuando ni siquiera la magia parece lo suficientemente poderosa para salvar aquello que amas, solo el amor puede mantener viva la esperanza. Trasmoz, octubre de 1864. Elvira Alcalá es una joven bruja que, a pesar del enorme poder que le augura su destino, solo ansía una vida de felicidad junto a Margarita, su doncella, de la que está perdidamente enamorada. Ambas muchachas no pueden ser más diferentes, al igual que su magia, pero se complementan y se profesan un amor profundo y sincero, un amor que nació amparado por las sombras de un cementerio. Sin embargo, todo se complica cuando Gabriel Alcalá, primo de Elvira, llega a Trasmoz con la intención de casarse con ella. Parece que a ella no le queda otra opción: el dinero y los contactos de Gabriel pueden salvar a su familia de la ruina más absoluta; pero Elvira no está dispuesta a renunciar a Margarita. Pronto descubren que las intenciones de Gabriel son deshonestas, y que tras ese matrimonio se esconde un motivo mucho más oscuro de que lo que pensaban en un principio... Elvira y Margarita harán todo lo posible para seguir juntas, pasando por encima de lo que se espera de ellas y de una comunidad mágica cada vez más corrupta. Porque realmente nada ni nadie puede frenar un sentimiento que, como el torrente desbordado y furioso de un río, puede destruir barreras y ciudades enteras. Porque su felicidad es más importante que cualquier lazo de sangre, que cualquier obstáculo que se interponga en su camino, que toda la magia del mundo.
