LETRAS

Cinco mujeres: cuatro están vivas, tres son forasteras, dos son hermanas, una está muerta. Y todas han pasado alguna vez por el Hotel World, que ahora nos acoge para mostrarnos una noche de sus vidas. Por los pasillos van desfilando sus esperanzas y sus desencantos, alojados en la memoria de ese lugar. Cada una se cruzará con las demás sin reparar en la casualidad de sus encuentros. Juego, desafío, inventiva desbordante... Esta novela es una alquimia de mundos opuestos que chocan para dar como resultado una parábola moderna sobre la comunicación y la indiferencia y, finalmente, una defensa del amor.

Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.

When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on the wild Devon moorland with the footprints of a giant hound nearby, the blame is placed on a family curse. It is left to Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson to solve the mystery of the legend of the phantom hound before Sir Charles' heir comes to an equally gruesome end.

The untold story of the mysterious family dynasty at the center of China’s Huawei. On December 1, 2018, Meng Wanzhou, daughter of Ren Zhengfei, founder and CEO of China’s most powerful company, Huawei Technologies, was detained at the request of U.S. authorities as she prepared to board a flight out of Vancouver, Canada. The detention of Huawei’s female scion set the U.S.-China trade skirmish on fire— and, for the first time, revealed the Ren family’s prominence in Beijing’s power structure. In The Listening State, acclaimed Washington Post reporter Eva Dou exposes the untold story of the rise of Ren Zhengfei and the mysterious family dynasty at the center of Huawei, whose connections to state apparatus reveal a deeper truth about China’s surveillance web and its global ambitions. Through its technologies, Huawei has helped solidify and enforce China’s growing police state, in which outspoken entrepreneurs like Jack Ma have been silenced, tycoons have disappeared, and executives must put patriotism above profit.
