Trece monos
by César MallorquíLa esperada vuelta a la literatura para adultos de un gran clásico de la ciencia ficción y la fantasía. Cargado de una ironía que se revela ya desde su título, Trece monos es un compendio de los mejores nuevos relatos de César Mallorquí, un autor al que se espera con entusiasmo desde la sonada publicación en los años 90 de El círculo de Jericó, para muchos el mejor libro de narrativa breve de ciencia ficción jamás publicado por un autor español. Además de un espectacular retorno al género tras dos décadas de éxito en la literatura juvenil, la antología supone una oportunidad única de disfrutar de las mejores piezas de Mallorquí, entre las que se incluyen cuentos inéditos y otros premiados y aparecidos en diversas publicaciones, tanto españolas como extranjeras. En Trece monos, Mallorquí añade a su ilustrado sentido de la irreverencia una dura mirada a la condición humana, reflexionando con humor y lucidez, aveces entre carcajadas, sobre la decadencia, la muerte o la falta de valores. Gaudí resucitado virtualmente, el señor Scrooge vendiendo juguetes sexuales en Navidad, Dios con el rostro de Hugh Laurie... Pero también la humanidad del siglo XXIII, el secreto de la longevidad, una partida de ajedrez milenaria, un cartógrafo regalando una isla a su amada... Y unos extraños monos que escriben novelas. He aquí al mejor Mallorquí, al más maduro y al más vitriólico, al rey de la ciencia ficción de calidad.

She soon becomes entangled with a lovable misfit and a band of radical slackers, environmentalists, and anarchists, and finds herself living 100 feet high in the canopy of a redwood grove, trying to decide whose side she&’s on: the logging community she&’s known her entire life or the environmentalists who are risking their lives for the future of the forest. To find a way beyond the division between Us and Them, Jade turns to the ancient trees themselves—and the thread-thin web that connects us all. Tree Dreams is an eco-literary, coming of age novel relevant for teenagers and adults alike, for this rite of passage asks the same of us all—whatever our age or life stage, we each must discover our one true voice, and learn how to offer it to the world.

Treinta me habla de amor

A 13-year-old girl growing up in Mexico is visited by her 30-year-old future self in this powerful YA novel in verse about handling depression.De la nada, una señora se acerca a Anamaría y le dice que es ella del futuro. Pero Anamaría tiene trece años y sabe que no debe hablar con alguien que ella no conoce. Las niñas deben tener cuidado, especialmente en Ciudad Juárez, México -- son las 90's y el miedo se apodera de su querida ciudad a medida que los casos de niñas y mujeres secuestradas se vuelven comunes y horribles. Esta "futura" dama de treinta años no parece ser peligrosa, pero no deja de molestar a Anamaría, alternando entre los tontos consejos de Hallmark sobre ser amable contigo mismo y alguna charla misteriosa sobre salvar a una chica. Anamaría definitivamente no necesita que la salven, está bien. Ella trabajo duro en su escuela secundaria estricta y obsesionada con las calificaciones--trabaja tan duro que casi no duerme; tan duro que el estrés la hace criticar no solo a las chicas malas sino también a sus (pocas) amigas; tan duro que cuando finalmente duerme, sus sueños son sobre morir--pero ella solo quiere hacer lo mejor que pueda para poder crecer y tener éxito. Tal ves Treinta tiene razón, tal vez no debería estar tan agotada con su vida. ¿Pero, cómo puede pedir ayuda cuando su ciudad está de luto por la tragedia de las niñas secuestradas? Esta novela en verso que invita la reflexión llevara a lectores adultos y jóvenes a un discurso vital sobre temas importantes--cómo lidiar con la depresión y cómo reconocerla en uno mismo y en los demás--a través de la voz accesible de una niña de trece años. Out of nowhere, a lady comes up to Anamaria and says she's her, from the future. But Anamaria's thirteen, she knows better than to talk to a stranger. Girls need to be careful, especially in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico--it's the 90's and fear is overtaking her beloved city as cases of kidnapped girls and women become alarmingly common. This thirty-year-old "future" lady doesn't seem to be dangerous but she won't stop bothering her, switching between cheesy Hallmark advice about being kind to yourself, and some mysterious talk about saving a girl. Anamaria definitely doesn't need any saving, she's doing just fine. She works hard at her strict, grade-obsessed middle school--so hard that she hardly gets any sleep; so hard that the stress makes her snap not just at mean girls but even her own (few) friends; so hard that when she does sleep she dreams about dying--but she just wants to do the best she can so she can grow up to be successful. Maybe Thirty's right, maybe she's not supposed to be so exhausted with her life, but how can she ask for help when her city is mourning the much bigger tragedy of its stolen girls? This thought-provoking, moving verse novel will lead adult and young adult readers alike to vital discussions on important topics--like dealing with depression and how to recognize this in yourself and others--through the accessible voice of a thirteen-year-old girl.
