ANDREW MILLER

Local doctor Eric Parry, mulling secrets, sets out on his rounds, while his pregnant wife sleeps on in the warmth of their cottage. Across the field, funny, troubled Rita Simmons is also asleep, her head full of images of a past life her husband prefers to ignore. He''s been up for hours, tending to the needs of the small dairy farm where he hoped to create a new version of himself, a project that''s already faltering.

She is sailing. She is alone. Ahead of her is the world's curve and beyond that, everything else. The known, the imagined, the imagined known. Who else has entered Tim's life the way Maud did? This girl who fell past him, lay seemingly dead on the ground, then stood and walked. That was where it all began. He wants her - wants to rescue her, to reach her. Yet there is nothing to suggest Maud has any need of him, that she is not already complete. A woman with a talent for survival, who works long hours and loves to sail - preferably on her own. A woman who, when a crisis comes, will turn to the sea for refuge, embarking on a voyage that will test her to the utmost, that will change everything ...From the Costa Award-winning author of Pure comes a viscerally honest, hypnotic portrait of modern love and motherhood, the lure of the sea and the ultimate unknowability of others. This pitch-perfect novel confirms Andrew Miller's position as one of the finest writers of his generation.

En los albores de la era de la Razón, cuando las oscuras sombras de la superstición comenzaban a ceder ante la luz del saber empírico, se sitúa la misteriosa historia de James Dyer, un hombre que merced al dudoso privilegio de ser inmune al dolor fisico logra alcanzar las cotas mas altas de la incipiente ciencia medica. En torno a esta curiosa paradoja ha construido Andrew Miller una novela extraordinaria, aclamada unanimemente por la critica y que traera a los lectores inequivocas reminiscencias de otra obra de similar rareza, El perfume de Patrick Suskind. Desde su fugaz concepcion sobre la superficie helada de un rio hasta el momento crucial en que conocemos su oscuro secreto, la vida de James Dyer es el eje de un relato sin concesiones, rebosante de imagenes, sonidos y aromas de una epoca en la que tanto villanos como victimas eran titeres de una sociedad implacable, donde la vida parecia supeditada al azar, la traicion y la malicia. ¿Que necesita mas el mundo, un hombre bueno y normal, o alguien excepcional, aunque con un corazon de hielo? La pregunta, en boca de uno de los personajes, sintetiza tal vez el inquietante escepticismo de Andrew Miller, cuya profundidad y honestidad, unidas a una prosa potente y refinada, hacen de El insensible una obra singular y reveladora.

In the summer of 1997, four people reach a turning point: Alice Valentine, her two sons, and Laszlo Lazar. For each, the time has come to assess what matters in life, and all will be forced to take part in an act of liberation - not necessarily the one foreseen. Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, this is an exploration of courage and liberation.

Book Blurb:Shes the most notorious bounty hunter in the Federation. Her predation of pirates, criminals, and New Hollywood executives have made her the nightmare bogeyman of any who dare to target the weak and helpless. The Overone of the Fey fears her as the harbinger of mass resistance against its telepathic domination of enslaved species. She shoots first, and rarely asks questions. She eats a kilogram of meat in a single sitting, and likes her tools oversized, overpowered, and crammed into tight packages. But none of that will help her this time. Lisa might be adept at tracking down fugitives and winning firefights against entire crews of gun toting pirates, but this time the job is a criminal investigation. The case: the murder of an alien ambassador. The stakes: the future of an entire colony. The bounty hunter: an amazonian introvert with a panoply of social anxieties and self-doubts, a sick certainty that the locale gendarmes would rather arrest her than solve the case, and an archive of ancient detective stories for inspiration. Its a bad joke, and Lisas about to get acquainted with an entire species of aquatic comedians. Excerpt:"The Federation investigation team put their ship on hover above the ocean, and sent down a probe on a cable. It went down oh, about three, maybe four kilometers and then a giant tentacle grabbed it." Lisa had munched on noodles and listened with interest, despite the headache from her injuries. "It shook the probe like a rattle," Patrick had continued, while she ate. "Then it tied the cable in knots and then" Patrick paused, frowning at the recollection. "And then it gave the entire thing a sharp yank." He snorted, shaking his head in wry amusement. "Probably would have pulled the ship under, if they hadnt detached the cable." "So what happened to the probe?" Lisa had asked. "A couple of smaller Octopussies returned it. Dumped it on the docks like they were tossing out garbage." "So thats what convinced everyone the Octopussies were sapient," Lisa mused. "Well, that and the knots in the line. Perfect bowline on a bight."

Poco podía imaginarse el célebre Giacomo Casanova que a sus treinta y ocho años, en el cenit de su carrera libertina, padecería precisamente los estragos del amor no correspondido. Llegado a Londres en 1763, cuando la vida cortesana alcanzaba su maximo esplendor y refinamiento, Casanova se queda deslumbrado por la encantadora Marie Charpillon, joven londinense a quien no duda ni un instante en intentar seducir. Sin embargo, para su desconcierto, la hermosa Marie hace caso omiso de los refinados lances amatorios puestos en liza por el mas famoso Don Juan de todos los tiempos. Obsesionado con la joven desdeñosa y esquiva, Casanova comprueba con horror que la pasion se ha apoderado de el, y ha de recurrir a su dilatada experiencia para no sucumbir en la empresa. Centrandose en uno de los episodios menos conocidos de la azarosa biografia de Giovanni Giacomo Casanova, Andrew Miller despliega la misma prosa exquisita y exacta con que nos deleito en El insensible para abordar desde una perspectiva literaria el eterno dilema del amor y la seduccion. Mediante la voz de un Casanova llegado a la senectud, que rememora los momentos decisivos de su vida, Miller explora los mecanismos mas profundos y sutiles que mueven a las personas a someterse sin condiciones a la voluntad del ser deseado.

The Optimists. When Clem Glass, an experienced photo-journalist, witnesses the grotesque aftermath of a genocidal massacre in central Africa, it is more than he can bear. He returns to London with his faith in humanity, his life derailed. Yet gradually his outlook is undermined by what he observes around him: the kindness of an elderly aunt, the perplexed sincerity of his father, the joyful love between his cousin and her fiance. Even the irrepressible trickle of goodness in his own heart. Then news arrives that offers Clem the chance to confront the author of his nightmares. In a profoundly affecting, searching novel, Andrew Miller explores how we act in a world where monstrous cruelty co-exists with infinite compassion, and the line between optimism and self-delusion remains perilously thin.
