Story
En la era medieval, una época gobernada por hombres, el recuerdo de la vida de algunas mujeres notables como Roswitha de Gandersheim, Margarite de Poreté, Catalina de Siena o Santa Gertrudis tiene doble connotación e importancia. Sin embargo, nadie se compara con la genial Hildegarda de Bingen, monja benedictina alemana del siglo XII que ocupó una posición extraordinaria en el mundo intelectual de su época.

Una larga serie de pruebas científicas indican que el Universo funciona como una gigantesca computadora basada en la conciencia. Así como cada computadora usa un lenguaje para crear sus resultados, la computadora de la conciencia del Universo usa nuestras creencias para "hablar" a la sustancia de la que están hechos nuestros cuerpos y el mundo.

Story
Cuando Yuri Santacruz asistió al nombramiento como canciller de Adolf Hitler, no podía imaginar lo mucho que cambiaría su vida en Berlín. Había llegado allí unos meses atrás, después de haber huido, junto con parte de su familia, de San Petersburgo, asfixiados por una revolución que los había dejado sin nada. A Yuri también lo privó de su madre y su hermano pequeño, a quienes las autoridades rusas no permitieron la salida del país. Ya en Berlín, su sentido de la justicia lo impulsará a defender a un joven comunista agredido por las tropas de asalto de Hitler.

Fue en enero de 2003. En el buzón de la casa familiar apareció una extraña postal sin firma: en el anverso, la Ópera Garnier, y en el reverso, cuatro nombres, los de los bisabuelos maternos de Anne Berest—Ephraïm y Emma—y los hijos de estos—Noémie y Jacques—todos ellos fallecidos en Auschwitz en 1942. ¿Quién envió la tarjeta y con qué siniestra intención? Veinte años después, la autora decide averiguarlo y remontarse un siglo atrás para reconstruir el periplo vital de los Rabinovitch: su huida de Rusia, su viaje a Letonia, Palestina y París, y luego la guerra.

Publisher's summary
GANADORA DEL PREMIO WEEKENDAVISEN
(«Una novela histórica genuinamente original»), fenómeno de ventas en Dinamarca e Italia: «Una obra monumental sobre la mujer más famosa de la Europa del siglo XII» (Adresseavisen)
Una De Las Diez Mejores Novelas Para Regalar Estas Navidades Según 20 Minutos
«Una combinación de Teresa de Calcuta, Montserrat Caballé y Greta Thunberg.» (Teresa Forcades, Esquire)
Hildegarda de Bingen nace en Bermersheim, en el sur de Alemania, en 1098. Frágil y enferma, los asistentes al parto vaticinan que no pasará de la noche. Pero sobrevivirá, y este no será más que uno de los hitos de su prodigiosa existencia. Desde pequeña tuvo visiones, y a los diez años la recluyeron en un convento. Además de ser poeta, compositora, bióloga y mística, inventó la medicina natural y la cerveza tal como se fabrica hoy, y fue la primera persona en escribir sobre el orgasmo femenino. Esta monja de alta cuna a la que sus miles de seguidores apodarían la Sibila del Rin estuvo al frente del monasterio de Bingen; creó una orden de religiosas vestidas de blanco y sin velo, que durante las oraciones bailaban en círculos con flores en el pelo; se codeó con la nobleza, y arriesgó su vida desafiando a la Iglesia y hasta al emperador Barbarroja.
Anne Lise Marstrand-Jørgensen ha escrito una premiada novela biográfica, monumental y conmovedora, sobre una mujer que los historiadores equiparan a san Agustín o Leonardo da Vinci, «una de las grandes heroínas de la Historia, cuyo legado iniciaría la expresión feminista más prematura. [...] Fue un fenómeno irrepetible, de los casi inexistentes que no terminaron en la hoguera»
Eugenia Miras, ABC.
La crítica ha dicho:
«Fue no solo inteligente, sino astuta y manipuladora cuando le convino. Y al igual que otras muchas mujeres a lo largo de la historia, disimuló su talento y su sabiduría detrás de un discurso aplacador de las posibles iras masculinas.» (Ángeles Caso)
«Una pop star de la teología [que] ejerció una espiritualidad libre y llegó a desafiar a la Iglesia. Un periplo vital extravagante y avanzado a su tiempo que nos interpela desde la Edad Media. [...] Genio y figura, doña Hildegarda.» (Juan Losa, Público)
«La Greta Thunberg medieval: [...] barrida durante centurias por el -muy masculino- star system de la Iglesia, [Hildegarda] se ha convertido en una santa de referencia contemporánea.» (Núria Navarro, Esquire)
«La mujer más extraordinaria del siglo XII, un referente para el feminismo y cuya vida [ya] es todo un éxito en Europa. [...] Algunos historiadores la comparan con San Agustín y con Leonardo da Vince, [...] pero no le hace falta, su vida y su obra son tan ricas que se defiende sola, como se puede leer en esta intensa biografía histórica.» (Carmen Sigüenza, EFE)
«De todas las grandes mujeres que esconde el Medievo, la primera entre pares es Hildegarda, [...] la primera influencer feminista.» (Elena de los Ríos, Mujer Hoy)
«Una apuesta innovadora y literaria [sobre] una personalidad extraña, con sensibilidades lejanas pero también modernas y con una vida fascinante.» (David Yagüe, 20 Minutos)
«Una novela histórica genuinamente original, algo completamente nuevo.» (Jurado del Premio de Literatura Weekendavisen)
«Excepcional e intenso: una desgarradora experiencia de lectura.» (Vårt Land)

Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

Luxury villas on hot white sand, views for miles over turquoise water. Flawless hostess Penny gathers guests to an island for her husband’s birthday celebrations. But she soon regrets inviting self-obsessed Eloise. When a child vanishes on the night of the party, their perfect island weekend is ripped apart. Even paradise harbours murky secrets… Has he been taken? Has he drowned? In the panic to find any trace, Penny casts about for someone to blame—even if that person is her own daughter, Rosie. Even clear waters descend to pitch black.

This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

When she arrives at the idyllic getaway, she’s pleased to find that the owner is a handsome man by the name of Calvin Wells—and he’s eager to introduce her to his easygoing way of life.

In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

Story
The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.
