1984 (75TH ANNIVERSARY) (MM)

Rating

Written more than 70 years ago, 1984 was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever... • Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read • “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can’t escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching... A startling and haunting novel, 1984 creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the novel’s hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions—a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.

FAHRENHEIT 451(N. TRAD.) (BOL)

En un futuro sombrío y turbador, Montag forma parte de una extraña brigada de bomberos cuya misión no es sofocar incendios, sino producirlos para quemar libros. Y es que en su mundo está prohibido leer, porque lo que se quiere suprimir es la capacidad de pensar. Una vez que Montag lo comprenda, alertado por una organización secreta dedicada a memorizar volúmenes enteros, sabrá que ha llegado el momento de elegir entre la obediencia y la rebeldía. En esta nueva traducción, que captura mejor que nunca toda la fuerza del original, la clásica distopía de Ray Bradbury sigue alertándonos sobre las peores facetas del conformismo moderno.

WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING

For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life—until the unthinkable happens. Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps.

LA PSICOLOGIA DEL DINERO (BOL)

Hay dos temas que nos impactan a todos por igual, nos interesen o no: la salud y el dinero. Para el primero tenemos instituciones públicas y privadas que velan por ella. En cambio, la gestión del dinero queda abandonada a nuestra suerte. Este libro, llamado a convertirse en un clásico de las finanzas personales, nos provee del conocimiento esencial para entender la psicología del dinero y nos invita a hacernos una pregunta fundamental que raramente nos hacemos: ¿cuál es nuestra relación con el dinero y qué queremos realmente de él? A partir de 18 claves imperecederas, Morgan Housel nos enseña cómo funciona la psicología del dinero y cuáles son los hábitos y conductas que nos ayudarán no solo a generar riqueza, sino, más importante aún, a conservarla.
