La tumba de Aurora K. (Periscopio #107)
by Pedro Riera de Habsburgo-LorenaHabíamos viajado hasta el pequeño pueblo de Clayton para que mi padre tomara las muestras de ADN y averiguara si aquella mujer, Aurora K., era la ?madre de mi padre?. La biológica. Y remarco lo de la ?madre de mi padre? porque, para mí, aquella mujer nunca sería mi abuela. Mi abuela era la otra, la de toda la vida, la que montaba multitudinarias partidas de cartas con mis primos, la que me hacía empanadillas de pollo para mi cumpleaños, la que nos contaba aquellas asombrosas historias sobre la vida en Turenia antes de la guerra? Y ninguna prueba de ADN iba a cambiar eso. No me importaba que su sangre no corriera por mis venas, ni la del abuelo, ni la de mis primos. Ellos eran mi familia. Yo era y sería siempre una Pekar. Pero me temo que me estoy liando? Mi padre no se cansa de repetirme que las historias hay que explicarlas desde el principio. Y esta historia es demasiado extraordinaria, así que la empezaré de nuevo. Desde el principio?

Twelve Years a Slave: Autobiography, Slave Narrative. Illustrated (First Avenue Classics ™)
by Solomon NorthupFor more than thirty years, Solomon Northup lived in New York as a free man. But in 1841, while pursuing a job offer in Washington DC, Northup was kidnapped and sold into slavery. After being brutally beaten for insisting on his right to live freely, Northup grew silent about his past. It was not until twelve years later that he shared his story with Samuel Bass, a white abolitionist, setting in motion the chain of events that would finally bring him home in 1853. Penned in his first year of renewed freedom, Northup's memoir unveils the inconceivable cruelties—and rare moments of kindness—he experienced during his enslavement.

Unbroken: An Olympian's Journey from Airman to Castaway to Captive (Young Adult Adaptation)
by Laura HillenbrandOn a May afternoon in 1943, an American military plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared. It was that of a young lieutenant, the plane's bombardier, who was struggling to a life raft and pulling himself aboard. So began one of the most extraordinary sagas of the Second World War. The lieutenant's name was Louis Zamperini. As a boy, he had been a clever delinquent, breaking into houses, brawling, and stealing. As a teenager, he had channeled his defiance into running, discovering a supreme talent that carried him to the Berlin Olympics. But when war came, the athlete became an airman, embarking on a journey that led to his doomed flight, a tiny raft, and a drift into the unknown. Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, a sinking raft, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would respond to desperation with ingenuity, suffering with hope and humor, brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would hang on the fraying wire of his will. In this captivating young adult edition of her award-winning #1 New York Times bestseller, Laura Hillenbrand tells the story of a man's breathtaking odyssey and the courage, cunning, and fortitude he found to endure and overcome. Lavishly illustrated with more than one hundred photographs and featuring an exclusive interview with Zamperini, Unbroken will introduce a new generation to one of history's most thrilling survival epics.
