Book Description
¿Cómo puede Carrasco detener a los criminales cuando el jefe de policía y la alcaldesa persiguen sus propios intereses? El comisario Carrasco es un valenciano de pura cepa. Le encanta comer, disfruta del sol, del mar y, por supuesto, de su ciudad. La gastronomía juega un papel esencial en su vida; para citarse con sus clientes o celebrar una reunión, siempre elegirá un restaurante de calidad o un bar de toda la vida. El trabajo, de momento, le da menos alegrías. La jefatura de policía quiere que investigue al jefe del canal de TV regional. Este encargo viene motivado políticamente y a él le parece muy cuestionable. Antes de que la investigación arranque de verdad, le apartan del caso. Sin embargo, Carrasco no renuncia a seguir investigando no solo por tozudez, sino porque está convencido de estar haciendo lo correcto. Una decisión de profusas consecuencias. De ahí surge una historia con múltiples subtramas sobre el tráfico de drogas o la ciberdelincuencia, sin perder de vista la ciudad, sus atractivos y problemas, así como sus placeres culinarios. Una novela policíaca no sería tal sin algo de crimen y homicidio, pero los elementos que sustentan Un caso del comisario Carrasco son más bien los personajes, sus rasgos característicos y las tramas que resultan de ellos; sin olvidar, por supuesto, los aspectos costumbristas. El trasfondo descrito en la novela sobre la vida en Valencia, así como los lugares, los restaurantes, las especialidades culinarias son auténticos dentro del contexto de una historia inventada, e invita a conocer el sur de España y la propia ciudad de Valencia. Un libro para disfrutar de una lectura amena, no solo para las vacaciones.

Book Description
Emilia Pardo Bazán was born in the Galician town of A Coruña into a noble family who nurtured her lifelong thirst for knowledge. She is undoubtedly the most controversial, influential and prolific Spanish female writer of the nineteenth century, publishing a vast number of essays, social commentaries, articles, reviews, poems, plays, novels, novellas and short stories. Her third novel, La Tribuna, heralds a new age in Spanish literature, a naturalist work of fiction that examines the situation of contemporary women workers. The author's preparation for the novel involved reading and consulting contemporary pamphlets and newspapers, as well as spending two months in a Galician tobacco factory observing and listening to conversations. This method, common in English writers like Dickens and frequently adopted in France by the masters of Realism, was almost unprecedented in Spain. Set against a background of turmoil and civil unrest, La Tribuna reflects the author's interest in the position of women in Spanish society. The working-class heroine, Amparo, develops from a shapeless, apolitical street urchin into a masterpiece of femininity, a charismatic orator who becomes a 'tribune' of the people. At the same time, however, she allows herself to be seduced by a prosperous middle-class youth whose promises prove to be just as empty as the revolutionary slogans in which she believes so fervently.
