Corrupt

Penelope Douglas

Los sueños son deseos del corazón; las pesadillas, mi obsesión. Erika Cuando lo tengo cerca tiemblo. De miedo y deseo. Michael Crist, el hermano mayor de mi exnovio, es como una de esas películas que, aunque den miedo, no puedes dejar de ver. Guapo, fuerte e intimidante, lo he observado durante años, deseando estar más cerca para comprobar si lo que se dice de él es verdad. Es la estrella del equipo de basquetbol de su universidad, jamás había reparado en mí y apenas me había mirado… hasta ahora. Tiene algo en mente, lo noto, casi puedo saborearlo pero, sabiendo todo lo que sé, ¿realmente quiero averiguar qué tiene planeado? Michael Quiero vengarme. Casi tanto como poseerla. Su nombre es Erika Fane, pero todos la llaman Rika. Podría decirse que creció en mi casa, siempre ha estado cerca. Mira a otro lado cuando entro en una habitación y se queda quieta cuando estoy cerca. Puedo sentir la tensión que desprende, sus ganas de más; no tengo su cuerpo pero sé que he atrapado su mente. Y ahora, la oportunidad de vengarme por lo que pasó hace unos años es demasiado buena para ser verdad. He sido paciente. He esperado el momento. Hasta la última de sus pesadillas se hará realidad. Cuando la pasión y el peligro se mezclan, todo puede ocurrir.

Diary of an oxygen thief

Anonymous

Say Holden Caulfield was an alcoholic advertising executive and Lolita was a photographer's assistant and somehow they met in Bright Lights Big City. He's blinded by love; she by ambition. Purporting to be an autobiography, this book is honest, hilarious and heartrending, but above all a very real account of what we do to each other and what we allow to have done to us. -- He's an alcoholic freelance art director. And he likes to hurt girls. Mentally, not physically (except for that once...). She's a photographer's assistant. Hurt people hurt other people more skillfully-- and they've both been very hurt. How much will they do to each other-- and allow to have done to themselves?

Sophia veya tüm hikâyelerin başlangıcı

Rafik Schami, Rafik Sami

“Hafıza dediğin aslında neydi? Salman düşünüp yazarken, birçok şeyin üzerini çizerken, hafızayı sadece bir arşiv gibi görmenin onu fazlasıyla basite indirgemek olduğunu fark etti. Hafıza bundan çok daha fazlasıydı. Uygun betimlemeyi ancak günler sonra bulabildi: Hafıza görünmez bir şehirdi. Birkaç eğlence mahallesi, gizli kuytuları, her türden tamirhaneleri, bir mezarlığı, bir morgu, bir krematoryumu, azizler için birkaç tapınağı, korkup kaçınılacak karanlık bölgeleri, bir müzesi, nefret edilenler için zindanları, buzhaneleri, eski maceraların ısıtıldığı kalorifer kazanları ve sulanan, bakılan veya ihmal edilen bahçeleri vardı. Bilimin bütün çabalarına rağmen, bu tuhaf hafıza şehrinin işleyişi, tıpkı okyanusların karanlık dehlizleri gibi sırlarını koruyordu.” Sophia gençliğinde Kerim’e aşık olmuş ancak aile baskısı sonucunda zengin bir kuyumcuyla evlenmiştir. Yıllar sonra Kerim işlemediği bir cinayetle suçlandığında Sophia onun hayatını kurtarır ve Kerim bir gün ihtiyacı olursa canı pahasına da olsa onun yardımına koşacağına söz verir. Bu olaylar hafızanın tozlu raflarında yıllanmışken, Arap Baharı öncesindeki sessiz fırtınanın ortasında Sophia’nın biricik oğlu Salman, Roma’daki sürgününden, çok özlediği vatanı Şam’a döner. Ancak bir yandan ailesi ve dostlarına kavuşup çocukluğunun mahallelerinde gezmenin heyecanını, bir yandan da memleketindeki değişimin şaşkınlığını yaşayan Salman’ı tehlikeli günler beklemektedir; bir sabah gazetede kendi fotoğrafını, altında da bir cinayetten arandığı haberini görünce tuzağa düştüğünü anlar. Canını kurtarmak için saklanıp izini kaybettirmeli ve ülkeden yeniden kaçmalıdır. İşte, Sophia, onca yılın ardından aşkı başka biriyle yeniden keşfetmiş olan Kerim’in sözünü böyle hayati bir günde anımsayacaktır. Rafik Schami, Doğu masallarının canlılığını Avrupa edebiyatının keskinliğiyle bir araya getiren incelikli ve şiirsel üslubuyla hem çok yakınımızdaki bir topluma benzersiz bir bakış sunuyor hem de toplumsal fırtınaların ortasında bile umudu ve cesareti yeşertip hayat kurtarabilen aşkın gücünü anlatıyor. İyilik ve kötülük, sevgi ve nefret, sadakat ve ihanet arasında çok hassas bir denge kuran Sophia tüm insanlar için anlayış ve uzlaşının bir hayal değil, gerçekleştirilebilir bir hedef olduğunu hatırlatıyor.

After another 60-hour work week, Lucy logs off her computer and hops on the elevator to head home, as does Joshua.

He pushes her away again and again, yet every time she pushes back, he only pulls her in deeper. Tessa already has the perfect boyfriend.

Me chame pelo seu nome

André Aciman

É verão na Riviera Italiana. Como todos os anos, o pai de Elio recebe na casa da família um jovem acadêmico para ajudá-lo com suas pesquisas universitárias. O escolhido dessa temporada é Oliver, um americano tão atraente quanto evasivo, que aproveita o clima ensolarado do Mediterrâneo para trabalhar e, claro, se divertir nas horas vagas. Aos poucos, entre banhos de piscina, discussões sobre arte e literatura, passeios de bicicleta, festas no vilarejo e ausências repentinas, um romance intenso floresce entre Elio e o visitante. Conforme tateiam o instável e o desconhecido terreno que os separa, aquilo que inicialmente parecia uma relação de indiferença supera o medo e a obsessão para culminar em uma troca tão íntima que marcará os dois pela vida inteira. Com rara sensibilidade, André Aciman destrincha as facetas do desejo, da descoberta da sexualidade e do início da vida adulta, fazendo de *Me chame pelo seu nome* uma crua e memorável elegia à paixão.

Me Before You

Jojo Moyes

This is the preorder the stunning sequel to me before you, after you, now. The heartbreaking novel of the year from Jojo Moyes proves you're never too old or young to cry. Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick. What Lou doesn't know is she's about to lose her job or that knowing what's coming is what keeps her sane. Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he's going to put a stop to that. What Will doesn't know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of colour. And neither of them knows they're going to change the other for all time. The Author Jojo Moyes is a novelist and a journalist. She worked at the Independent for ten years before leaving to write full-time. Her previous novels have all been critically acclaimed and include Me Before You, The Girl You Left Behind and the Sunday Times number 1 bestseller The One Plus One. Me Before You has sold over 5 million copies worldwide and went to the top of the charts in 9 countries, including in Germany where it held the number 1 slot for 46 weeks. She is one of the few authors to have had 3 novels on the New York Times bestseller list at the same time. A major film adaptation of Me Before You, starring Sam Clafin (The Hunger Games) and Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones), is currently in production. Jojo lives in Essex with her husband and their three children. Praise for Me Before You: Poignant ... heartfelt ...

Lolita

Vladimir Nabokov

*Lolita* es sin duda una de las novelas más importantes del siglo XX, no solo por su sofisticación literaria, sino también por las controversias que ha generado desde su publicación hasta hoy. Narrada en primera persona por un profesor cuarentón enamorado de niñas púberes a las que denomina "nínfulas", la novela presenta la historia de la caída en los infiernos del héroe y de su víctima, la jovencísima Dolores. Nabokov empuja el lenguaje hasta el límite mismo de la moral y escribe allí, frente al abismo, ni un paso más allá ni un paso más acá. La escritura exuberante e increíblemente precisa de Nabokov consigue dibujar de manera inigualable el retrato de las contradicciones del deseo, al mismo tiempo que bosqueja un paisaje de América transformada en geografía de la predación. Escrita en inglés en 1955, fue considerada pornográfica y escandalosa, y rechazada por todos los editores americanos. Publicada finalmente en Francia por el editor de libros eróticos Maurice Girodias, no pudo ser distribuida libremente hasta 1959. Tras el fin de la censura, Lolita se convierte en un clásico de la literatura mundial. En tiempos de MeToo y más allá de hipócritas prohibiciones puritanas, Lolita puede leerse hoy como una obra maestra y el retrato de una sociedad llena de secretos inconfesables. Extraordinaria, terrorífica, insuperable. --back cover

Kahve Soğumadan Önce

老子

Zamanda yolculuk edebilseydiniz neyi değiştirirdiniz? Kimi son bir kez görmek isterdiniz? Tokyo’nun ara sokaklarından birinde, ziyaretçilerine özenle demlenen kahvelerini sunan yüz yıllık bir kafe bulunur. Yılın en sıcak gününde bile serin kalmayı başaran, yalnızca dikkatli gözlerin seçebileceği, bodrum katındaki küçük bir kafe... Öyle küçük ki üç masa ve altı sandalye ile mekân baştan başa doluyor. Duvarda ise her biri ayrı bir zamanı gösteren üç saat asılı. Etrafınıza bakındığınızda en hafif tabirle “sıradan” olarak niteleyeceğiniz bu yerin kolaylıkla tahmin edilemeyecek bir hizmeti daha var: Zamanda yolculuk. Ancak bu, o kadar da kolay değil. Öncelikle belli bir sandalyeye oturmanız gerekiyor ki o, günde sadece bir kez masadan uzaklaşıp kısa süre sonra geri dönen bir hayalete rezerve edilmiş durumda. Eğer oturmayı başarırsanız süreniz dolana kadar sandalyeden kalkamaz, kafeyi terk edemezsiniz. Bir kez daha görmeyi ümit ettiğiniz kişinin daha önce bu kafeyi ziyaret etmiş olması gerekliliği ve geçmiş ya da geleceği asla değiştiremeyeceğiniz gerçeği de cabası... Ama hepsinden önemlisi, kahve soğumadan önce geri dönmek zorunda oluşunuz. Ne geçmişe ne de bugüne ait olan bir hayalete dönüşmek istemiyorsanız duvardaki antika saatlerin sesine kulak verin: “Tik-tak, tik-tak, kahve birazdan soğuyacak!”

Kasırga Mevsimi

Fernanda Melchor

Con un ritmo y un lenguaje magistrales, Fernanda Melchor, autora de Falsa liebre explora en esta obra las sinrazones que subyacen a los actos más desesperados de barbarie pasional. Una novela cruda y desgarradora en la que el lector quedará envuelto, atrapado por las palabras y la atmósfera de terrible, aunque gozosa, fatalidad. Un grupo de niños encuentra un cadáver flotando en las aguas turbias de un canal de riego cercano a la ranchería de La Matosa. El cuerpo resulta ser de la Bruja, una mujer que heredó dicho oficio de su madre fallecida, y a quienes los pobladores de esa zona rural respetaban y temían. Tras el macabro hallazgo, las sospechas y habladurías recaerán sobre un grupo de muchachos del pueblo, a quienes días antes una vecina vio mientras huían de casa de la hechicera, cargando lo que parecía ser un cuerpo inerte. A partir de ahí, los personajes involucrados en el crimen nos contarán su historia mientras los lectores nos sumergimos en la vida de este lugar acosado por la miseria y el abandono, y donde convergen la violencia del erotismo más oscuro y las sórdidas relaciones de poder.
