Title: [Spanish] - Volver

Author: Toni Morrison

Narrator: Jane Santos

Length: 3 hours 55 minutes

Release date: November 9, 2023

Genres: Literary Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

Por medio de la historia de un ex combatiente en la guerra de Corea y su intento por reconciliarse con la vida, la premio Nobel de Literatura hace un reflejo de la Norteamérica más profunda. El cuerpo de un amigo destrozado por la metralla, la voz de un hombre que pide clemencia, la mano de una niña que asoma escarbando entre la basura para encontrar algo de comer...Hay imágenes que vuelven una y otra vez a la mente de Frank Money, un veterano de la guerra de Corea que ahora vuelve a Estados Unidos en busca de olvido y afecto. Corren los años cincuenta del siglo pasado y las heridas de Frank no son solo físicas: su patria es racista, su familia ha acumulado mucho odio, y el regreso parece más un camino hacia el infierno que una vuelta al hogar. Su destino es Georgia porque Frank quiere rescatar y devolver a casa a su hermana Cee, casada con un chulo que la abandonó a los pocos días de la boda, y empleada en casa de un médico sin escrúpulos. Es la determinación por salvar a esa mujer frágil lo que llevará a Frank a asumir sus culpas y saldar cuentas con lo que fue su vida. Ahí, en ese ir y venir de emociones hondas, brilla el talento de Toni Morrison, una mujer que lleva el dolor en la punta de los dedos y lo gobierna con pocas y buenas palabras. «A mis ochenta y un años, me siento atenta, vital, yo diría que espléndida... cuando escribo.» Toni Morrison Reseña: «Morrison ha encontrado una voz y un estilo puro y directo... ha desvelado las formas en las que la violencia se trenza con la pasión para redimir un pasado que vuelve y duele.» Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

Poppy McCarthy liebt viele Dinge. Country-Star Trace Bradley gehört nicht dazu. In A Place to Shine, dem 4. Band der New-Adult-Reihe Cherry Hill von Bestseller-Autorin Lilly Lucas, bekommt es Poppy aber ausgerechnet mit ihm zu tun ... Poppy, die jüngste der McCarthy-Schwestern, ist bekannt dafür, sich immer wieder in kuriose Situationen zu bringen. Eines Nachts leistet sie Country-Star Trace Bradley bei einem Autounfall Erste Hilfe und wird anschließend irrtümlich für seine Freundin gehalten - dabei kann sie Trace nicht ausstehen, seit der vor drei Jahren einen Hit über einen Kuss zwischen ihnen geschrieben hat. Dann bekommt auch noch die Presse Wind von dem Unfall und macht die geheimnisvolle 'neue Freundin' auf der Obstfarm Cherry Hill ausfindig. Poppy ist schwer genervt - bis sie die Buchungszahlen für ihr geliebtes Baumhaus-Hotel sieht, das zuletzt nur mäßig gelaufen ist. Das plötzliche Interesse bringt Poppy auf eine scheinbar geniale Idee ... Bestseller-Autorin Lilly Lucas steht für Liebesromane zum Wohlfühlen mit traumhaft schönem Setting: Auf der zauberhaften Obstfarm Cherry Hill kann man sich wie in den Büchern ihrer New-Adult-Liebesroman-Reihe Green Valley ganz zu Hause fühlen. Die New-Adult-Reihe Cherry Hill besteht aus den folgenden Liebesromanen: A Place to Love (June & Henry) - gelesen von Sandra Voss A Place to Grow (Lilac & Bo) - gelesen von Corinna Dorenkamp A Place to Belong (Maggy & Flynn) - gelesen von Nina Reithmeier A Place to Shine (Poppy & Trace) - gelesen von Leonie Landa

Length: 6 hours 59 minutes

Release date: November 2, 2023

Genres: Literary Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

Albinus, un respetable crítico de arte, conoce a Margot, mucho más joven que él. Albinus queda prendado y abandona a su esposa y a su hija para fugarse con ella. Pero entonces irrumpe Axel Rex, un joven y cínico artista, examante de Margot. Se completa así el último vértice de un triángulo amoroso de fatales consecuencias. Tras sufrir un accidente que lo deja ciego, Albinus se retira a una casa aislada con Margot. Pero lo que no sabe es que allí se instala también Axel, que hace el amor con Margot y se pasea retadoramente desnudo ante Albinus, que oye pasos e intuye que algo extraño está sucediendo. Fechada en 1932, esta novela aborda un tema clásico: un triángulo amoroso en el que se entremezclan la pasión y la degradación. «Una pequeña obra maestra rebosante de crueldad, uno de esos libros a los que no se puede quitar ni añadir nada sin causarles un daño irreparable» (Times Literary Supplement). «Una fábula moral sobre la dignidad y la perversión, entre paródica y farsesca. Novela espléndida» (Javier Aparicio Maydeu, El Periódico). «La escritura rezuma inteligencia; la disposición de los elementos narrativos es a menudo excelente; con un gran sentido de la elipsis, Nabokov rodea cada escena colocando detalles y matices de modo y manera tal que estos sugieren el corazón de la escena sin que necesite nombrarlo; este trabajo de gran sutileza y que realiza con evidente dominio de la téc­nica de la elipsis deja un amplio espacio para que el lector entre en la novela» (José María Guelbenzu, El País). «Fascinante novela, admirable artefacto literario, soberbio juego de contraespejos y de exquisito virtuosismo» (Francisco Solano, ABC).

Publisher's Summary:

Brought to you by Penguin. One family’s deepest pain. Another family’s darkest secret. On a hot day in 1960s Maine, six-year-old Joe watches his little sister Ruthie, sitting on her favourite rock at the edge of the blueberry fields, while their family, Mi’kmaq people from Nova Scotia, pick fruit. That afternoon, Ruthie vanishes without a trace. As the last person to see her, Joe will be forever haunted by grief, guilt, and the agony of imagining how his life could have been. In an affluent suburb nearby, Norma is growing up as the only child of unhappy parents. She is smart, precocious, and bursting with questions she isn’t allowed to ask – questions about her missing baby photos; questions about her dark skin; questions about the strange, vivid dreams of campfires and warm embraces that return night after night. Norma senses there are things her parents aren’t telling her, but it will take decades to unravel the secrets they have kept buried since she was a little girl. The Berry Pickers is an exquisitely moving story of unrelenting hope, unwavering love, and the power of family – even in the face of grief and betrayal. 'Marvellous ... Amanda Peters is going to be the next big thing ... The Berry Pickers is a triumph' Katherena Vermette, author of The Strangers ©2023 Amanda Peters (P)2023 Penguin Audio

But mostly they observe.

Endless shows of spectacular beauty witnessed in a single day. Yet although separated from the world they cannot escape its constant pull. News reaches them of the death of a mother, and with it comes thoughts of returning home. They look on as a typhoon gathers over an island and people they love, in awe of its magnificence and fearful of its destruction.

Title: [Spanish] - Verano

Author: J.M. Coetzee

Narrator: Txe Arana, Roser Batalla, Marta Martín Jorcano, Angi Sansón, Luis David García Márquez, Jordi Boixaderas

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 5 minutes

Release date: November 2, 2023

Genres: Literary Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

Incisiva, elegante y sorprendentemente divertida, Verano es la culminación de las memorias noveladas del Nobel sudafricano. Unas memorias que se completan con Infancia y Juventud. Un joven biógrafo inglés prepara un libro sobre el difunto escritor sudafricano John Coetzee. Sus investigaciones se centran en el Coetzee treintañero, en una época en la que el escritor compartía una destartalada casa en Ciudad del Cabo con su padre viudo y en la que, en opinión del joven biógrafo, comenzaba a encontrarse a sí mismo como escritor. Sin haberlo conocido personalmente, el biógrafo se embarca en una serie de entrevistas con personas que fueron importantes en su vida: una mujer casada con la que tuvo una aventura amorosa, su prima Margot y una bailarina brasileña, madre de una de sus alumnas de inglés. De sus testimonios emerge el retrato de un joven Coetzee algo torpe, rodeado de libros, con poca facilidad para abrirse a los demás y entregado a su imperiosa necesidad de escribir. Reseña: «Si en Infancia y en Juventud se cuestionaba qué significaba escribir unas memorias, Verano revienta la noción de autobiografía, ya que en este libro todo y nada es, en cierto sentido, estrictamente real.» Times Literary Supplement
