Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Gótico

After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemi Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She's not sure what she will find--her cousin's husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noemi knows little about the region. Noemi is also an unlikely rescuer: She's a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she's also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: Not of her cousin's new husband, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by Noemi; and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemi's dreams with visions of blood and doom. Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family's youngest son. Shy and gentle, he seems to want to help Noemi, but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family's past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family's once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as Noemi digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness.

A young girl's diary

Libro A young girl's diary

This authentic diary, kept by a Viennese schoolgirl when she was eleven to fourteen years old, first appeared publicly in 1919. Richly expressive and emotionally moving, it intimately chronicles her passage from childhood to puberty with frankness, lucidity, and an honesty that scandalized the anonymous author's contemporaries. Originally presented by Sigmund Freud as a specimen to analyze and observe the development of a young female during the vital years of personal growth, the book relates, in a gently ironic tone, daily encounters and experiences as well as private conversations and...

Poeta chileno

Libro Poeta chileno

Alejandro Zambra vuelve en grande a la novela con este magnífico libro sobre familias hechizas, poetas y poetastros. Una hermosa, desenfadada y seriamente divertida declaración de amor a la poesía. Durante buena parte de esta novela Gonzalo es un poetastro que quiere ser poeta y un padrastro que se comporta como si fuera el padre biológico de Vicente, un niño adicto a la comida para gatos que años más tarde se niega a estudiar en la universidad porque su sueño principal es convertirse –también– en poeta, a pesar de los consejos de Carla, su orgullosamente solitaria madre, y de...

La voz de los adolescentes

Libro La voz de los adolescentes

Los jóvenes y los adolescentes son como son, en gran medida en razón del momento que les ha tocado vivir. Muchas veces, cuando se hacen comparaciones de los adolescentes de hoy con los de otros tiempos, olvidamos que en esos otros tiempos la sociedad en la que crecieron los adolescentes de entonces era muy distinta de la sociedad que hoy les está tocando vivir a los de ahora. Todos los niños, desde hace siglo y medio más o menos en el mundo occidental, en su tránsito hacia la edad adulta, han pasando por la adolescencia y la juventud. Antes, la gran mayoría pasaba de la infancia al...
