Madrid, oggi. Un giovane giornalista riceve da una ricca zia l’incarico di indagare sulla vita della bisnonna Amelia Garayoa, della quale non si sa più nulla da molti anni. La donna, nata nel 1917 da ottima famiglia borghese non aveva esitato ad abbandonare marito e figlio (il padre di Guillermo) dopo essersi infatuata di un rivoluzionario franco-spagnolo alla vigilia della Guerra Civile, facendo perdere le sue tracce e diventando un tabù per l’intera famiglia. Questo è solo l’inizio di una vita estremamente avventurosa che porterà Amelia in tutto il mondo: da Madrid a Barcellona, a Parigi e a Mosca, attraverso Berlino, Londra, Varsavia, Buenos Aires e il Messico. Borghese e rivoluzionaria, sposa e amante, spia e assassina, Amelia sarà sempre fedele ai suoi principi e agli uomini della sua vita.

Divergent
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtueùCandor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really isùshe can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.
During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really areùand where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.

Don't wake me at doyles
The remarkable memoir of an ordinary irish woman and her extraordinary life
When seventy-year-old Maura Murphy discovered she had cancer, she left her husband of fifty years and started writing her memoirs. Born 'chronically ugly and as cross as a briar' into a poor rural homestead in 1920s Ireland, Maura lived much of her adult life in England, where she raised nine children and fought to keep together a family ravaged by poverty and alcohol. The voice of a silent generation of an immigrant-Irish underclass, Maura Murphy's tough and remarkable life is a compellingly written account of struggle and survival like no other. With all the immediacy and impact of Frank McCourt's prize-winning ANGELA'S ASHES, Maura's voice is feisty, funny and fearless. And she needed to be all those things to survive an extraordinary series of privations and abuses. Her story is compelling and upbeat despite everything.

Down and out in Paris and London..
This unusual fictional memoir - in good part autobiographical - narrates without self-pity and often with humor the adventures of a penniless British writer among the down-and-outs of two great cities. The Parisian episode is fascinating for its expose of the kitchens of posh French restaurants, where the narrator works at the bottom of the culinary echelon as dishwasher, or plongeur. In London, while waiting for a job, he experiences the world of tramps, street people, and free lodging houses. In the tales of both cities we learn some sobering Orwellian truths about poverty and of society.

Dune
Before The Matrix, before Star Wars, before Ender's Game and Neuromancer, there was Dune : winner of the prestigious Hugo and Nebula awards, and widely considered one of the greatest science fiction novels ever written. Melange, or 'spice', is the most valuable - and rarest - element in the universe; a drug that does everything from increasing a person's life-span to making intersteller travel possible. And it can only be found on a single planet: the inhospitable desert world Arrakis. Whoever controls Arrakis controls the spice. And whoever controls the spice controls the universe. When the Emperor transfers stewardship of Arrakis from the noble House Harkonnen to House Atreides, the Harkonnens fight back, murdering Duke Leto Atreides. Paul, his son, and Lady Jessica, his concubine, flee into the desert. On the point of death, they are rescued by a band for Fremen, the native people of Arrakis, who control Arrakis' second great resource: the giant worms that burrow beneath the burning desert sands. In order to avenge his father and retake Arrakis from the Harkonnens, Paul must earn the trust of the Fremen and lead a tiny army against the innumerable forces aligned against them. And his journey will change the universe.

Early warning
From the Pulitzer Prize winner: a journey through mid-century America, as lived by the extraordinary Langdon family we first met in Some Luck, a national best seller published to rave reviews from coast to coast.
Early Warning opens in 1953 with the Langdons at a crossroads. Their stalwart patriarch Walter, who with his wife had sustained their Iowa farm for three decades, has suddenly died, leaving their five children looking to the future. Only one will remain to work the land, while the others scatter to Washington, DC, California, and everywhere in between. As the country moves out of postwar optimism through the Cold War, the social and sexual revolutions of the 1960s and '70s, and then into the unprecedented wealthùfor someùof the early '80s, the Langdon children will have children of their own: twin boys who are best friends and vicious rivals; a girl whose rebellious spirit takes her to the notorious Peoples Temple in San Francisco; and a golden boy who drops out of college to fight in Vietnamùleaving behind a secret legacy that will send shockwaves through the Langdon family into the next generation. Capturing an indelible period in America through the lens of richly drawn characters we come to know and love, Early Warning is an engrossing, beautifully told story of the challengesùand rich rewardsùof family and home, even in the most turbulent of times.

One woman's search for everything across Italy, India and Indonesia
La quatrième de couverture indique : "In her early thirties, Elizabeth Gilbert had everything a modern American woman was supposed to want - husband, country home, successful career - but instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she felt consumed by panic and confusion. This book is the story of how she left behind all these outward marks of success, and what she found in their place. Following a divorce and a crushing depression, she set out to examine three different aspects in her nature, set against the backdrop of three different cultures: pleasure in Italy, devotion in India, and on the Indonesian island of Bali, a balance between wordly enjoyment and divine transcendance."

Eddies Bastard
"Eddie's Bastard" ist William Amos Mann IV, bekannt als Billy - der Sohn eines in Vietnam getöteten Heldenpiloten und einer unbekannten Frau. Billy ist der letzte in einer Reihe stolzer, individualistischer irisch-amerikanischer Männer und wird in einem Korb an der Tür des heruntergekommenen Herrenhauses entdeckt, in dem sich sein bitterer, trinkfreudiger Großvater Thomas Mann verbannt hat. Erstaunt und bewegt über die Ankunft seiner unerwarteten Nachkommen macht sich Thomas auf den Weg, um den Jungen selbst großzuziehen - auf einer Diät der Liebe, des gebratenen Quatsches und der faszinierenden Überlieferung ihres gemeinsamen Erbes. Hören Sie sich seine Pläne an, um die Geschichten auf Papier festzuhalten. Er ist ein Mann, erinnert ihn Opa täglich und ist daher für Größe bestimmt.
Through the tales of his ancestors, his own experiences, and the unforgettable characters who enhance and enliven his adolescence, Billy learns of bravery and cowardice, of life and death, of the heart's capacity for love and for unremitting hatred, eventually grasping the meaning of family and history and their power to shape destiny. Steeped in imagery and threaded with lyricism, Eddie's Bastard is a novel of discovery, of a young man's emergence into the world, and the endless possibilities it offers.
