NOVEDADES

Una operación quirúrgica que extirpa el impulso sexual masculino, un tren que nos devuelve a cualquier punto del pasado, un invento genético que acerca la vida eterna... En esta mítica colección de relatos, Anna Starobinets retrata sin piedad una humanidad que se tambalea. Ciencia y religión, razón y pasiones, instinto y civilización: no hay pieza del puzle humano que escape a su mirada, a la vez devastadora y comprensiva. La glándula de Ícaro es una distopía que roza peligrosamente lo real, donde la ciencia es solo una excusa para abrir en canal a sus protagonistas y revelar sus engranajes. La obra de Starobinets es puro «horror lírico». Esta colección de relatos está repleta de pesadillas que amenazan no solo con cumplirse, sino con ser realidad en el momento en que se leen.

After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova. Ever the detective, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova’s son disappeared. And now Marcellus must use every trick his old invertebrate body can muster to unearth the truth for her before it’s too late.

On Samhain in medieval Scotland, pregnant Janet rescues her lover Tam Lin from being sacrificed by the Wild Hunt—but the callous Faery Queen is not finished with them yet. Over the span of a single night, the Queen and Janet spar over Tam Lin’s fate. The Queen aims to win, knowing how fickle mortals can be. Long before she was royalty, she was simply Bess, the changeling daughter of a midwife. Born with magical and mortal blood, Bess feared there was no true place for her on either side of the veil. She found refuge in the arms of the charming Thomas Shepherd, the bastard son of a local noble. While villagers viewed her as a scandal, Bess’s cunning knowledge and secret dark gifts attracted the attention of the elf lord Amadan. Wily and silver-tongued, Amadan led Bess into Faery’s realm of decadence, where her heart warred against her destiny. She fought to keep both—but at what cost?

On a daring quest to save a life, two friends are hurled into another world, where an evil sorceress seeks to enslave them.

S. Lewis's classic fantasy series, The Chronicles of Narnia, which has captivated readers of all ages for over sixty years. This is a stand-alone novel, but if you would like to journey through the wardrobe and back to Narnia, read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the second book in The Chronicles of Narnia.
