Estranged from his family, living alone with only his cat Cabbage for company, he was unprepared for the doctor's diagnosis that he has only months to live. But before he can set about tackling his bucket list, the Devil appears with a special offer: in exchange for making one thing in the world disappear, he can have one extra day of life. And so begins a very bizarre week . . . Because how do you decide what makes life worth living? How do you separate out what you can do without from what you hold dear? In dealing with the Devil our narrator will take himself - and his beloved cat - to the brink.

Unha serie atroz de asasinatos espertará a memoria dun nome perdido no tempo e, como nun segredo que se comparte en voz baixa, un temor comezara a repetirse nos rumores: Volveu o Sacauntos.... Onde nacen as bestas e unha novela sobre o lado salvaxe do noso propio ser, onde a montaña marca as personalidades dos seus habitantes e a piedade pode desaparecer en calquera momento. Unha historia cunha atmosfera densa e inquietante, onde as fronteiras entre o cotian e o imaxinario se cruzan e mesturan ata facer imposible distinguir que e real e que lenda. Pedro Feijoo mergullanos nunha historia de violencia ancestral, silencios familiares e identidades ocultas.

A thrilling and long-awaited new novel from globally bestselling author Dan Brown Accompanying celebrated academic, Katherine Solomon, to a lecture shes been invited to give in Prague, Robert Langdons world spirals out of control when she disappears without trace from their hotel room. Far from home and well out of his comfort zone, Langdon must pit his wits against forces unknown to recover the woman he loves. But Prague is an old and dangerous city, steeped in folklore and mystery. For over two thousand years, the tides of history have washed back and forth over it, leaving behind echoes of everything that has gone before. Little can Langdon know that he is being stalked by a spectre from that dark past. He must use all of his arcane knowledge to decipher the world around him before he too is consumed by the rings of treachery and deception that have swallowed Katherine. Against a backdrop of vast castles, towering churches, graveyards buried twelve deep and labyrinthine underground passages, Langdon must navigate a shadow city hiding in plain sight, a city which has successfully kept its secrets for centuries and will not readily deliver them. This is a battlefield unlike any he has previously experienced, one on which he must fight not for his only life, but for the future of humanity itself. The Secret Of Secrets is Dan Browns first novel for over eight years and sees the stunning return of Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, this time pitting his wits against a conspiracy which will test even his considerable brainpower and take him to the edge of losing all that he holds dear

When the enslaved Jim overhears that he is about to be sold to a man in New Orleans, separated from his wife and daughter forever, he decides to hide on nearby Jackson Island until he can formulate a plan. Meanwhile, Huck Finn has faked his own death to escape his violent father, recently returned to town. As all readers of American literature know, thus begins the dangerous and transcendent journey by raft down the Mississippi River toward the elusive and too-often-unreliable promise of the Free States and beyond.While many narrative set pieces of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn remain in place (floods and storms, stumbling across both unexpected death and unexpected treasure in the myriad stopping points along the rivers banks, encountering the scam artists posing as the Duke and Dauphin), Jims agency, intelligence and compassion are shown in a radically new light.

Ez da normala izango, esan zion medikuak haurrak urtebete zuenean. Jaio aurretik, ordea, Amak jakin bazekien barruan zeraman haurra ez zela besteak bezalakoa izango. Amak alaba etxean isolatu zuen, eta herritarren txutxu-mutxuak areagotu egin ziren. Hain zen estua bien arteko harremana, beste alaba baten jaiotzak ez baitzuen hori haustea lortu.Etxe heze eta ilunean sustraituko dira hiru emakumeak, asinkronia batean; bizilagunen usteak inguratuta, sufrikario eta errezoen artean, patu ankerrari begira.

Cando Xosé Carneiro, coñecido psicanalista e polémico colaborador televisivo, aparece co peito aberto no seu piso da compostelá rúa República do Salvador, son dúas as cousas que chaman a atención do xornalista Aquiles Vega e da profesora Sofia Deneb. A primeira e a brutalidade, a violencia extrema con que o crime foi levado a cabo. A segunda, ese detalle que non encaixa na escena: unha estraña peza de ferro chantada no corazon. En realidade, a de Carneiro non e mais que a primeira dunha cadea de mortes en serie, unha carreira contra o reloxo na que Aquiles tera non so que comprender que e o que esta pasando, senon cal e o papel que en toda esta historia xoga un dos nomes mais importantes da nosa literatura, aquel sempre rodeado de misterio e escuridade. E, sobre todo, tera que saber quen e Adriano... Logo do exito recibido pola sua primeira novela, Os fillos do mar, regresa Pedro Feijoo cunha nova aventura, desta volta chea de versos, de sangue, de amor e de odio, pero mantendo intacta a sua maxima por bandeira: ante todo, o entretemento e o pracer de lectores e lectoras.
