The Chosen Ones are about to start their second year in senior high school. The whole summer break they have held their breaths waiting for the demons'' next move. But the threat shows up from another direction, somewhere they could never have foreseen. It becomes more and more obvious that something is very, very wrong in Engelsfors. The past is woven together with the present. The living meet the dead. The Chosen Ones are tied even closer together and are once again reminded that magic cannot ease unhappy love or mend broken hearts... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After his wife, Helen, is brazenly abducted before his eyes, Special Agent Pendergast furiously pursues the kidnappers, chasing them across the country and into Mexico. But then, things go terribly, tragically wrong; the kidnappers escape; and a shattered Pendergast retreats to his New York apartment and shuts out the world. But when a string of bizarre murders erupts across several Manhattan hotels - perpetrated by a boy who seems to have an almost psychic ability to elude capture - NYPD Lieutenant D'Agosta asks his friend Pendergast for help. Reluctant at first, Pendergast soon discovers that the killings are a message from his wife's kidnappers. But why a message? And what does it mean? When the kidnappers strike again at those closest to Pendergast, the FBI agent, filled anew with vengeful fury, sets out to track down and destroy those responsible. His journey takes him deep into the trackless forests of South America, where he ultimately finds himself face to face with an old evil that - rather than having been eradicated - is stirring anew...and with potentially world-altering consequences.
Porque será que destruímos as coisas que mais amamos? É esta a questão que Paulo Coelho aborda nesta história de um confronto com o seu próprio passado. As Valquírias é um relato comovente de uma via
Relats per al Passeig recull set textos breus que constitueixen un exemple clar de la concepció literària de l'univers narratiu de Josep Vallverdú. Es tracta de "Monsieur Grasz Pyrotechnic", "L'il·luminat", "La germana de la núvia", "La bona acció", "L'aviador xiroi", "Lleugerament rosa", "Mala travessa tinguérem", amb un excel·lent pròleg de Jaume Cabré.
