ENGLISH DESCRIPTION When Miquel Mascarell takes on the search for a young anarchist, he discovers that the success of his investigation could entail his own death. 1948. One year after being pardoned from the Valley of the Fallen, Miquel Mascarell, the last policeman from Republican Barcelona, has rebuilt his life alongside Patro, the young woman he has already saved twice. A visit from a frightening man and his strange mission--to search for the tomb of his nephew who died on July 18, 1936--once again drives the former inspector to distraction, facing his ghosts, his survival, and a strange city that is living the post-war in search of a new future. At the same time, in Madrid, a court-martial judges the resistance movement fighting against the dictatorship. What secret is being hidden by the body of that young man whose tomb Mascarell is searching for, twelve years after the fact and without living witnesses of the incident? Set with precision in the Spain of the era, Five Days of October is a novel that makes us return to the past to--hopefully--understand our present and the way we survive.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. The Brotherhood of the Holy Shroud is the explosive international bestseller that mixes fact and fiction to tell the riveting story of one of the world's most controversial relics--the Holy Shroud of Turin--and the desperate race to save it from those who will stop at nothing to possess its legendary power. A fire at the Turin cathedral and the discovery of a mutilated corpse are the latest in a disturbing series of events surrounding the mysterious cloth millions believe to be the authentic burial shroud of Jesus Christ. Those who dare to investigate will be caught in the cross fire of an ancient conflict forged by mortal sacrifice, assassination, and secret societies tied to the shadowy Knights Templar. Spanning centuries and continents, from the storm-rent skies over Calvary, through the intrigue and treachery of Byzantium and the Crusades, to the modern-day citadels of Istanbul, New York, London, Paris, and Rome, The Brotherhood of the Holy Shroud races to a chilling climax in the labyrinths beneath Turin, where astounding truths will be exposed: about the history of a faith, the passions of man, and proof of the most powerful miracle of all. From the Hardcover edition.…

Condizione: Good. Un mundo feliz es un clásico de la literatura de este siglo. Con ironía mordiente, el genial autor inglés plasma una sombría metáfora sobre el futuro, muchas de cuyas previsiones se han materializado, acelerada e inquietantemente, en los últimos años. La novela describe un mundo en el que finalmente se han cumplido los peores vaticinios: triunfan los dioses del consumo y la comodidad, y el orbe se organiza en diez zonas en apariencia seguras y estables. Sin embargo, este mundo ha sacrificado valores humanos esenciales, y sus habitantes son procreados in vitro a imagen y semejanza de una cadena de montaje. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Aldous Huxley is rightly considered a prophetic genius and one of the most important literary and philosophical voices of the 20th Century, and Brave New World is his masterpiece. From the author of The Doors of Perception, Island, and countless other works of fiction, non-fiction, philosophy, and poetry, comes this powerful work of speculative fiction that has enthralled and terrified readers for generations. Brave New World remains absolutely relevant to this day as both a cautionary dystopian tale in the vein of the George Orwell classic 1984, and as thought-provoking, thoroughly satisfying entertainment.…
