Resumen:
En esta novela, Lorenzo Silva narra en primera persona cómo descubrió uno de los momentos más heroicos y trágicos de la historia española, sorprendentemente olvidado por casi todos. Un suceso clave marcado por el antagonismo entre dos hombres. La historia de la sublevación militar en Barcelona el 19 de julio de 1936, del desafío del general Goded a la legalidad republicana y de la decisión del general Aranguren, el máximo responsable de la Guardia Civil, que optó por defender la democracia.
La negativa de Aranguren a colaborar con el alzamiento y su fi delidad a la República forman parte de nuestra historia, pero de una parte muy poco contada. Y el hecho de que este sea uno de nuestros episodios más desconocidos e incómodos lo convierte en uno de los mejores relatos que puede darnos la literatura sobre la guerra civil.
Esta es la historia de un héroe olvidado. Un hombre que fue capaz de anteponer la lealtad y su sentido del deber a las órdenes de quienes acabarían haciéndose con el poder.

Sprache: Deutsch
Veröffentlichungsdatum: 05-15-14

Zusammenfassung:
Eigentlich ist das Ende der Zeiten schon lange gekommen. Im zweiten Monat des Jahres 1420 sollte es sein, an einem Montag nach dem Festtag der heiligen Scholastica, so jedenfalls hatten es die Chiliasten mit ihrer Lehre vom Tausendjährigen Reich prophezeit. Dafür geht es aber zwei Jahre später noch überaus munter zu auf unserer Erde, auch wenn das Morden, Sterben und Wehklagen aus der Perspektive des inquisitorischen Narrenturms schon wie der Kampf der Mächte des Bösen am Vortag des Jüngsten Gerichts erscheint. So jedenfalls erscheint es dem jungen Abenteurer und Medicus Reinmar von Bielau, der durch seine Wanderschaft auf der Flucht vor Verfolgern und der Suche nach der Liebe durch die mittelalterliche Landschaft streift.

Durch seine Begegnungen und Erlebnisse entwirft der Erzähler vor dem Leser ein Panorama der Zeit, das nicht zuletzt auch auf überaus gekonnte Art und Weise mit den Versatzstücken des historischen, des Ritterromans und der Fantasy-Literatur zu spielen versteht!

Summary:
From the best-selling author of the phenomenally successful The Kashmir Shawl.
London 1870: a terrifying place for a young, beautiful woman of limited means. But Eliza is modern before her time. Not for her the stifling if respectable conventionality of marriage, children, domestic drudgery. She longs for more.
Through her work as an artists model, she meets the magnetic and irascible Devil - a born showman whose dream is to run his own theatre company. Devils right-hand man is the improbably-named Carlo Bonomi, an ill-tempered dwarf with an enormous talent for all things magic and illusion. Carlo and Devil clash at every opportunity and it constantly falls upon Eliza to broker an uneasy peace between them. And then there is Jasper Button. Mild-mannered, and a family man at heart, it is his gift as an artist which makes him the unlikely final member of the motley crew.
Thrown together by a twist of fate, their lives are inextricably linked: the fortune of one depends on the fortune of the other. And as Eliza gets sucked into the seductive and dangerous world her strange companions inhabit, she risks not only her heart, but also her life.

Narrator: Noelle Kayser
Format: Unabridged
Length: 9 hrs and 49 mins
Language: English
Release date: 05-06-14
Publisher: Hachette Audio
Genres: Fiction, Historical

Summary:
A stunning debut novel, The End of Always tells the story of one young woman's struggle to rise above a vicious family legacy and take charge of her own life.
In 1907 Wisconsin, seventeen-year-old Marie Reehs is determined: She will not marry a violent man, as did her mother and grandmother before her. Day after day, Marie toils at the local laundry, watched by an older man who wants to claim her for his own. Night after night, she is haunted by the memory of her mother, who died in a mysterious accident to which her father was the only witness. She longs for an independent life, but her older sister wants nothing more than to maintain the family as it was, with its cruel rules and punishments. Her younger sister is too young to understand.
At first, it seems that Marie's passionate love affair with a charismatic young man will lead her to freedom. But she soon realizes that she too may have inherited the Reehs women's dark family curse.
Set in the lush woods and small towns of turn-of-the-century Wisconsin, and inspired by real events in the author's family history, The End of Always is a transcendent story of one woman's desperate efforts to escape a brutal heritage. Both enthralling and deeply lyrical, Randi Davenport's novel is also an intensely affecting testament to the power of determination and hope, and a gripping reminder of our nation's long love affair with violence.

Summary:
In Sicily, 1935, a four-year-old child walks away from her loving family - her mother, her sister, and an infant brother - with a great-aunt for a vacation. She spends the next eight years absent from their lives. It was not an abduction nor was it an adoption. Tina lives in a one-room house in one of the poorest regions of Sicily. She sleeps between a loving aunt and a deranged uncle. She shares her breakfast with goats and chickens while living in the shadow of fascism. The child grows up while WW II ravages the town. Her school is taken over by German soldiers and things like bread and eggs that were once plentiful, no longer exist. Less than 25 kilometers away her family leads a very different life. After eight years, she returns home to find her childhood interrupted again. This time sickness, warfare, and destruction are her enemies. In wartime Europe, childhood does not exist. The child witnesses and experiences many disturbing things from her uncouth, unsanitary living conditions to the failed paratroopers dangling from trees during the Allied invasion. Tina is a survivor. She is able to forgive those who took so much away from her. Her spirit trumps adversity during the war times within and around her. As she grows older, she struggles to keep the harsh realities of World War II and abandonment at a distance through her sense of humor, imagination, and determination.

Length: 9 hrs and 30 mins
Language: English
Release date: 05-01-14
Publisher: Penguin Audio
Genres: Fiction, Historical

Summary:
From the author of The Cellist of Sarajevo, an exciting new novel that uses the life and sudden death of Harry Houdini to weave a tale of magic, intrigue, and illusion.
What is real and what is an illusion? Can you trust your memory to provide an accurate record of what has happened in your life?
The Confabulist is a clever , entertaining, and suspenseful narrative that weaves together the rise and fall of world-famous Harry Houdini with the surprising story of Martin Strauss, an unknown man whose fate seems forever tied to the magicians in a way that will ultimately startle and amaze. It is at once a vivid portrait of an alluring, late-19th/early-20th-century world; a front-row seat to a world-class magic show; and an unexpected love story. In the end, the book is a kind of magic trick in itself: There is much more to Martin than meets the eye.
Historically rich and ingeniously told, this is a novel about magic and memory, truth and illusion, and the ways that love, hope, grief, and imagination can - for better or for worse - alter what we perceive and believe.

Summary:
The week before Christmas, 1929, Eoghan O'Keenan loses his factory job, and has to flee the slums of Chippendale with his seven-year-old sister Agnes. On the north side of Sydney at Lavender Bay, Olivia Greene is working on her latest millinery creations and dreaming of becoming the next Coco Chanel.
A job on the Harbour Bridge for Eoghan, designing couture for the Governor's wife for Olivia, and a chance meeting in the Botanic Gardens sees the beginning of an unconventional romance. From vastly different backgrounds, with absolutely nothing in common - from faith to wealth and class - it seems that the blue mile of harbour between Olivia and Eoghan will be the least of the obstacles ahead.
By mid-1932, as the construction of the Bridge is completed, the city is in chaos as the Great Depression begins to bite hard and the unemployed edge ever closer to a violent revolt. And then Eoghan disappears.
Set against the spectacular backdrop of Sydney Harbour, The Blue Mile is a tale of the both wild and calculated risks a city took to build a wonder of the world, and of those taken by ordinary people to save a great love, against all of the odds.

From the author of Brooklyn, in a voice that is both tender and filled with rage, The Testament of Mary tells the story of a cataclysmic event which led to an overpowering grief. For Mary, her son has been lost to the world, and now, living in exile and in fear, she tries to piece together the memories of the events that led to her son's brutal death.

In her effort to tell the truth in all its gnarled complexity, she slowly emerges as a figure of immense moral stature as well as a woman from history rendered now as fully human.

Language: English
Release date: 04-24-14
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited
Genres: Fiction, Historical

Summary:
The wonderful new novel from the much-loved author of Girl with a Pearl Earring and Falling Angels. Flames and funerals, circus feats and seduction, neighbours and nakedness: Tracy Chevalier's new novel Burning Bright sparkles with drama.
London 1792: The Kellaways move from familiar rural Dorset to the tumult of a cramped, unforgiving city. They are leaving behind a terrible loss, a blow that only a completely new life may soften. Against the backdrop of a city jittery over the increasingly bloody French Revolution, a surprising bond forms between Jem, the youngest Kellaway boy, and streetwise Londoner Maggie Butterfield. Their friendship takes a dramatic turn when they become entangled in the life of their neighbour, the printer, poet, and radical, William Blake.
He is a guiding spirit as Jem and Maggie navigate the unpredictable, exhilarating passage from innocence to experience. Their journey inspires one of Blake's most entrancing works. Georgian London is recreated as vividly in Burning Bright as 17th-century Delft was in Tracy Chevalier's best-selling masterpiece, Girl with a Pearl Earring.

Summary:
Random House presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Red Sky at Noon by Simon Sebag Montefiore.
'The black earth was already baking, and the sun was just rising when they mounted their horses and rode across the grasslands towards the horizon on fire....'
Imprisoned in the Gulags for a crime he did not commit, Benya Golden joins a penal battalion made up of Cossacks and convicts to fight the Nazis. He joins the Russian cavalry, and on a hot summer day in July 1942, he and his band of brothers are sent on a desperate mission behind enemy lines.
Switching between Benya's war in the grasslands of Southern Russia and Stalin's plans in the Kremlin, between Benya's intense affair with an Italian nurse and a romance between Stalin's daughter and a journalist also on the Eastern Front, this is a sweeping story of passion, bravery and human survival, where personal betrayal is a constant companion and death just a heartbeat away.

Summary:
The tragic story of Robert Falcon Scotts quest for the South Pole is brought to sparkling new life in this adventure novel.
It is one of the most famous quotes in the history of exploration: I am just going outside. I may be some time.
The story of how former cavalry officer Lawrence Oates came to deliver his brave last words, before walking bootless into a Antarctic blizzard so that Robert Falcon Scott and the other members of the ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition might have a better chance of survival, is brilliantly reimagined in this epic novel based on fact. A hero of the Boer Wars, Oates joined Scotts second journey to Antarctica with dreams of winning the race to the South Pole for England. But small mistakes and bad luck plagued the mission from the start, and when they finally reached the Pole on January 17, 1912, Oates and Scott were heartbroken to find that Norwegian Roald Amundsen had beaten them thereby more than a month. Little did they know, things were about to get much, much worse.

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Summary:
The Odd Angry Shot is the seminal account of Australian soldiers in the Vietnam War.
Brief and bracing, tragic yet darkly funny, the novel is an award-winning commentary on Vietnam, following a close-knit group of knockabout SAS fighters: their friendships, homesickness and fears; and their practical jokes, drinking and fighting.
Chronicling their experiences over one year, we learn that their enemy is not just the Vietcong, but their superiors, the mud and torrential rain, and boredom. It is a reflective and brutal account of how war damages not only physically but psychologically, as soldiers readjust to home life.

Summary:
Captain James Thatcher and the crew of the sloop Adventure are on a mission - to find the legendary treasure of Captain Morgan and to restore their good names.
James Thatcher is content with the life of a privateer captain. He has his ship, he has his crew, and he has the open sea. Then, with the stroke of a pen, his world is turned on its head. Britain signs an unthinkable treaty with Spain, and this is the change in the political winds that the crooked governor of Jamaica has been waiting for. In a sudden, calculated act of betrayal, Governor Pendleton brands Thatchers crew and much of the privateer fleet as pirates.
Other crews resign themselves to a future as outlaws and vagabonds, but Thatcher will not relinquish the honor of his men so easily. A fortune in gold and precious gems is hidden somewhere in an ancient network of Aztec waterways, enough to buy pardons for Thatcher and his crew. The mission is perilous. The map lies in the garrison capital of Port Royal. To recover it, Thatcher must risk the noose. Worse, he must risk a run-in with the one woman he cant resist, Lady Kate Pendleton, the governors daughter. Even more troubling, Pendleton has launched his own venture to find the gold, and he has enlisted the savage crew of the Havoc, captained by Blackbeard himself.
With a deadly foe close on their heels, a woman of questionable loyalties at the captains side, and the dark mysteries of the Aztec river tunnels ahead, the crew of the Adventure must keep their courage and wits about them.
But courage and wits may not be enough to navigate the unseen horrors of the Midnight Passage.

Summary:
Hailed by the New York Times as "a book you will not readily forget", this World War II adventure tale of a nun who risks her life to help a Jewish couple escape Nazi-occupied France is the collaborative creative effort of Grand Master of crime fiction Dorothy Salisbury Davis and award-winning television writer Jerome Ross.
It is harvest season in St. Hilaire, and for those who take their living from the land, it should be a joyous time. But in the fall of 1943, there is no joy in France. Paris has fallen, the Vichy government is collaborating with the Germans, and the Gestapo roam the countryside, conscripting French men to toil in faraway German factories. For Sister Gabrielle, a novice in the local convent, the occupation tries her faith as nothing has before. But she is about to get an opportunity to stand up to evil in a way that few of her countrymen have dared.
Marc and Rachel Daridan arrive in St. Hilaire just a few steps ahead of the secret police and throw themselves on the mercy of Sister Gabrielle and the other nuns at the Convent of Ste. Genevive. In a time when doing right can mean death, this devout young woman takes on a risky, seemingly impossible challenge.
