Lauren Oliver Libros

Lo ha conseguido. Lena ha llegado a Tierra Salvaje y se ha salvado, pero el camino no ha sido fácil. Poco a poco, va recordando los pasos que le han llevado hasta la comunidad de inválidos a la que pertenece. Pero ahora Lena es un miembro de la Resistencia, y tiene una misión importante que cumplir: luchar por un mundo donde el amor no sea considerado una enfermedad. Pandemonium es la segunda parte de la Saga Distópica Delirium, de Laren Oliver, cuyo primer título es Delirium.

Una vida sin amor es una vida sin sufrimiento: segura, medida, predecible y feliz. Por eso cuando los habitantes de esta ciudad del siglo XXII cumplen los 18 años, se someten a la intervención, que consiste en la extracción de la parte del cerebro que controla las emociones. Lena espera ese momento con impaciencia, hasta que un día se enamora... A nadie le gusta estar enfermo. Afortunadamente, en el siglo XXII los científicos han encontrado la cura para la pandemia que, durante milenios, asoló el planeta. Un delirio que se contagiaba más rápido que cualquier otra enfermedad, afectando a cientos cada día, y a millones al cabo del año. Era tan grave que, encontrada la cura, el gobierno decretó su administración a todos los ciudadanos, a partir de la mayoría de edad. Lena Holoway está emocionada. Lleva años esperando cumplir los 18. Por fin recibirá la cura, por fin vivirá sin dolor, de un modo predecible y feliz. Por fin hay cura para esa enfermedad llamada amor.

Han tratado de acabar con nosotros. Pero todavía estamos aquí. Y cada día somos más. Quizá tengan razón y nuestros sentimientos nos vuelven locos. Tal vez el amor es una enfermedad de la que tendríamos que curarnos. Sin embargo, hemos elegido un camino diferente. Y al final, esa es la mejor cura: ser libres para elegir. Ser libres para elegir... aunque sea equivocadamente.

Welcome back to the Dime Museum, home to the freaks, wonders and oddities that live there. But beware, fans of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events may never want to leave...

Four orphans are shocked when their beloved friend, sculptor Siegfried Eckleberger, is murdered. As they investigate, they find clues that his death may be tied to the murder of a rich New York heiress as well as to their own past.

For the first time, Lauren Oliver's short stories about characters in the Delirium world appear in print. Originally published as digital novellas, Hana, Annabel, and Raven each center around a fascinating and complex character who adds important information to the series and gives it greater depth. This collection also includes an excerpt from Requiem, the final novel in Oliver's New York Times bestselling series. Hana is told through the perspective of Lena's best friend, Hana Tate. Set during the tumultuous summer before Lena and Hana are supposed to be cured, this story is a poignant and revealing look at a moment when the girls' paths diverge and their futures are altered forever. Lena's mother, Annabel, has always been a mystery—a ghost from Lena's past—until now. Her journey from teenage runaway to prisoner of the state is a taut, gripping narrative that expands the Delirium world and illuminates events—and Lena—through a new point of view. And as the passionate, fierce leader of a rebel group in the Wilds, Raven plays an integral role in the resistance effort and comes into Lena's life at a crucial time. Crackling with intensity, Raven is a brilliant story told in the voice of one of the strongest and most tenacious characters in the Delirium world.

At least I didn't. The thing is, you don't get to know when it happens. You don't remember to tell your family that you love them or - in my case - remember to say goodbye to them at all. But what if, like me, you could live your last day over and over again? Could you make it perfect? If your whole life flashed before your eyes, would you have no regrets? Or are there some things you'd want to change...' 'This book will take your breath away' She 'A beautifully written and outrageously weepy tale' Daily Mirror

'On the third night after the day her father died, Liesl saw the ghost.' Liesl lives in a tiny attic bedroom, locked away by her cruel stepmother. Her only friends are the shadows and the mice - until one night a ghost appears from the darkness. It is Po, who comes from the Other Side. Both Liesl and Po are lonely, but together they are less alone. That same night, an alchemist's apprentice, Will, bungles an important delivery. He accidentally switches a box containing the most powerful magic in the world with one containing something decidedly less remarkable. Will's mistake has tremendous consequences for Liesl and Po, and it draws the three of them together on an extraordinary journey.

The book is about, among other things: the strongest boy in the world, a talking cockatoo, a faulty mind reader, a beautiful bearded lady and a nervous magician, an old museum, and a shrunken head. Blessed with extraordinary abilities, orphans Philippa, Sam, and Thomas have grown up happily in Dumfrey's Dime Museum of Freaks, Oddities, and Wonders. Philippa is a powerful mentalist, Sam is the world's strongest boy, and Thomas can squeeze himself into a space no bigger than a bread box. The children live happily with museum owner Mr. Dumfrey, alongside other misfits. But when a fourth child, Max, a knife-thrower, joins the group, it sets off an unforgettable chain of events. When the museum's Amazonian shrunken head is stolen, the four are determined to get it back. But their search leads them to a series of murders and an explosive secret about their pasts.

These four short stories are now available in one beautiful paperback edition and include an exclusive sneak peek at Lauren Oliver's brand new novel Replica - coming soon! All the stories expand upon and enrich the Delirium world, illuminating events and characters through different perspectives. HANA adds nuance to the life-changing summer before best friends Lena and Hana are to be cured - a moment when the girls' paths diverge and their futures are altered forever. ANNABEL untangles the mysteries surrounding Lena's mother, detailing her journey from teenage runaway to prisoner of the state. RAVEN crackles with the intensity of its title character, the fierce leader of a rebel group in the Wilds who plays an integral role in the resistance.
