Story
Las aventuras de Rufo Batalla parecen encaminarse al remansamiento cuando contrae matrimonio con una rica heredera, pero no consigue olvidar al príncipe Tukuulo y a su exquisita esposa. La agitada transición política española ha dado paso a una prosperidad económica que parece destinada a no tener fin. Mientras, la caída del muro de Berlín culmina un proceso de transformación que presagia el descalabro de la URSS, y de repente lo que parecía una locura, la conquista del reino de Livonia, se vuelve posible.

En el período comprendido entre las dos Exposiciones Universales de Barcelona de 1888 y 1929, con el telón de fondo de una ciudad tumultuosa, agitada y pintoresca, real y ficticia, asistimos a las andanzas de Onofre Bouvila, inmigrante paupérrimo, repartidor de propaganda anarquista y vendedor ambulante de crecepelo, y su ascensión a la cima del poder financiero y delictivo. Mendoza nos propone un nuevo y singularísimo avatar de la novela picaresca y un brillante carrusel imaginativo de los mitos y fastos locales.

Story
Toni, un profesor de instituto enfadado con el mundo, decide poner fin a su vida. Meticuloso y sereno, tiene elegida la fecha: dentro de un año. Hasta entonces cada noche redactará, en el piso que comparte con su perra Pepa y una biblioteca de la que se va desprendiendo, una crónica personal, dura y descreída, pero no menos tierna y humorística. Con ella espera descubrir las razones de su radical decisión, desvelar hasta la última partícula de su intimidad, contar su pasado y los muchos asuntos cotidianos de una España políticamente convulsa.

Story
Un joven inglés experto en Velázquez llega a Madrid para autenticar un supuesto cuadro del pintor español en los meses previos al estallido de la guerra civil. El cuadro pertenece a un amigo de José Antonio Primo de Rivera y su valor económico puede determinar el desarrollo de los acontecimientos políticos. A pesar de desconocer la crítica situación del país, o quizá por ello, Anthony Whitelands entabla relación con personajes clave del momento, es testigo de hechos cruciales y consigue salir airoso de situaciones peligrosas.

Publisher's Summary
Barcelona, 1968. Rufo Batalla recibe su primer encargo como plumilla en un periódico: cubrir la boda de un príncipe en el exilio con una bella señorita de la alta sociedad. Coincidencias y malentendidos le llevan a trabar amistad con el príncipe, que le encomienda, entre otras cosas, escribir la crónica de su peculiar historia. El opresivo ambiente de la gris España franquista pronto se quedará pequeño para Rufo, que viajará a Nueva York con poco dinero, grandes esperanzas y el difuso objetivo de hacer algo emocionante con su vida.
Rufo Batalla será testigo de los fenómenos sociales de los años setenta, como la igualdad racial, el feminismo, el movimiento gay o el desplazamiento de los grandes centros culturales y la deriva de la cultura hacia nuevas formas de expresión, fenómenos que en buena parte hicieron del presente lo que es hoy. Y dejará constancia, no tanto de los hechos como de la forma en que lo vivieron quienes los presenciaron.
Con la conocida unión de maestría narrativa y refinamiento estilístico del autor, personajes reales e imaginarios, típicos del universo de Eduardo Mendoza, se dan la mano en esta novela, brillante inicio de la trilogía Las Tres Leyes del Movimiento, que recorrerá los principales acontecimientos de la segunda mitad del siglo XX.

Primer libro que leo de este autor, me encantó
Dentro de un estilo fantasioso ymuy ligero; cómico incluso, hace las delicias del lector con una tgrama realmente insospechada. Estoy esperando los dos siguientes títulos del triduo para volver a gozar de las aventuras del buen Rufo.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Story
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.
