Los años perdidos
by Marcelo CarusoLa nueva novela del ganador del Premio Clarín 2019. Un libro que cuenta los años en los que Jesús vive en el desierto a la búsqueda de su destino. «¿Debía creerlo? ¿Yo era la Luz del Mundo? ¿Había dejado de ser el huérfano para ser el Hijo? ¿Ese Hijo?». En los primeros años de nuestra era, Galilea es un territorio martirizado por el Imperio romano, enrarecido por la magia y cruzado por las voces de los que se proclaman elegidos y anuncian la llegada del Mesías. En un polvoriento pueblo de pastores, un joven de veinticuatro años sabe que no es hijo del padre de sus hermanos. Su madre no alcanza a responder su pregunta o no puede hacerlo. Atendiendo al llamado de la voz del silencio, Jesús abandona su casa y toma el camino del desierto. Su partida es un viaje de autoconocimiento y de tentaciones, de voces que le hablan y de señales confusas. Conoce pescadores, ladrones, sacerdotes, mujeres y hombres sufrientes, sin encontrar la única respuesta que necesita: ¿quién es su padre? Y en su búsqueda, recibirá la verdadera y definitiva revelación que signará su vida y cambiará el mundo. Los años perdidos es la nueva e imponente novela de Marcelo Caruso, ganador del Premio Clarín 2019. Al margen del canon, con un profundo conocimiento de la época, Caruso aborda los años perdidos, aquellos en los que Jesús es todavía un hombre en busca de su destino. Sobre Negro el dolor del mundo: «Marcelo Caruso da muestras de un oficio al que el tiempo parece haberle añadido una poderosa naturalidad. Su prosa parece alejarse de todo artificio y, en esa búsqueda, encuentra tanto su concentración poética como su espesura».José María Brindisi, La Nación Dijo el Jurado del Premio Clarín de Novela: «Una novela tan inesperada como fascinante que recrea los entresijos del poder y la persistencia de la discriminación en nuestro tiempo. Con una escritura sinuosa, por momentos deslumbrante, nos pone de frente a un mundo que, por lejano que pudiese parecer, se convierte en un espejo del nuestro».Jorge Volpi «Recreación admirable de un período, el siglo XVIII, y un conflicto, la esclavitud, casi inéditos en nuestra literatura, esta novela nos lleva a sumergirnos como en un vértigo en la lectura y a ir descubriendo que nos encontramos ante una obra excepcional».Liliana Heker «Un mágico y peligroso viaje a la Buenos Aires colonial y al universo ignorado de la esclavitud. Una aventura llena de situaciones límites, con un protagonista inolvidable y un gran pulso narrativo».Jorge Fernández Díaz

Lost Federations: The Unofficial Unmade History of Star Trek
by A. J. Black"An innovative and unusual account of Star Trek’s lost voyages that makes for a fascinating alternate history." — Brian J. Robb in Sci-Fi Bulletin SPACE. THE FINAL FRONTIER. THESE WERE ALMOST THE VOYAGES OF THE STARSHIP ENTERPRISE. We think we know the history of Star Trek. Born at the height of 1960s popular culture, the five-year mission of Captain James T. Kirk and his crew faced early cancellation, bounced back with a series of beloved movies in the 1980s and gave way to a fleet of successful sequels and spin-offs that kept on exploring strange new worlds. In Lost Federations: The Unofficial Unmade History of Star Trek, author A. J. Black tells a different story. This is an alternate history of the franchise, one filled with roads not taken, from early 1960s feature-films and spin-offs, the original sequel Star Trek: Phase II in the 1970s, via epic planned movies such as Planet of the Titans and into many untold episodes, arcs and character stories from The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and Voyager, all the way through to the modern era. Bringing together pre-existing material over decades for the first time in one space, plus some new reflections from Star Trek writers and analysis of how it all fits into the wider cultural trends of the last sixty years, Lost Federations invites you to boldly explore a history you may not already know...
