Después de recibir la noticia de que padece un cáncer terminal, un profesor universitario imparte una última conferencia, en la que reflexiona sobre las cosas importantes que ha aprendido en la vida y quiere transmitir a sus hijos antes de morir. Un libro que contagia la alegría de vivir y una actitud positiva ante la adversidad. "Gran parte de mi conferencia en Carnegie Mellon se centró en el lado profesional de mi vida: mis alumnos, mis colegas y mi carrera. El libro es una mirada personal a mis sueños de infancia y a todas las lecciones que he aprendido. Al escribir he descubierto que esta es una buena manera de compartir los sentimientos hacia mi mujer, mis hijos, o aquellos a los que quiero. Sabía que no podría hablar de estos temas en el escenario sin emocionarme." Randy Pausch.

In a narrative as mysterious as memory itself – at once both shadowed and luminous – Warlight is a vivid, thrilling novel of violence and love, intrigue and desire. It is 1945, and London is still reeling from the Blitz and years of war. 14-year-old Nathaniel and his sister, Rachel, are apparently abandoned by their parents, left in the care of an enigmatic figure named The Moth. They suspect he might be a criminal, and grow both more convinced and less concerned as they get to know his eccentric crew of friends: men and women with a shared history, all of whom seem determined now to protect, and educate (in rather unusual ways) Rachel and Nathaniel. But are they really what and who they claim to be? A dozen years later, Nathaniel begins to uncover all he didn’t know or understand in that time, and it is this journey – through reality, recollection, and imagination – that is told in this magnificent novel

The No.1 Sunday Times bestseller from the author of A Little Life. To Paradise is a bold, brilliant novel spanning three centuries and three different versions of the elusive idea of utopia; driven by Hanya Yanagihara's understanding of our desire to protect those we love - lovers, children, friends, family and even our fellow citizens - and the pain that ensues when we cannot. In an alternate version of 1893 America, New York is part of the Free States, where people may live and love as they please (or so it seems). In a 1993 Manhattan besieged by the AIDS epidemic, a young Hawaiian man lives with his much older, wealthier partner, hiding his troubled childhood and the fate of his father. In 2093, in a world torn apart by plagues and governed by totalitarian rule, a powerful scientist's damaged granddaughter tries to navigate life without him - and solve the mystery of her husband's disappearance. What unites these characters, and these Americas, are their reckonings with the qualities that make us human - fear, love, shame, loneliness - and the longing to find a place in an earthly paradise.

In a small town on the Italian coast, a mysterious woman washes ashore. She is crippled, mute, and clutches a bundle to her chest-a baby the townspeople insist is a real-life mermaid. It can only bring bad luck; they pay a troupe of acrobats to carry mother and child away. In the bustling trade center of Venice, merchant Paul Pindar is the subject of his colleagues' concern. Since his return from Constantinople, they have found him changed; raging over the loss of his beloved, Celia, he has gambled away his fortune at the gaming tables. But when a priceless blue diamond surfaces in the city, Pindar recognizes the opportunity to regain everything he has lost-including, perhaps, the woman he loves. A celebrated writer of history and travel books, Katie Hickman has always been a master of evoking time and place. With The Pindar Diamond, her follow-up to The Aviary Gate, she brings early-seventeenth-century Italy vividly to life, and also demonstrates her maturity as a novelist. A tale of love and avarice, with a touch of the mystical, The Pindar Diamond is rich with historical detail, and unfolds with urgency and grace. It is accomplished, wholly satisfying historical fiction.
