Book Description
El departamento de homicidios de San Francisco hace una petición inesperada a Joseph Newman, un sacerdote experto en sagradas escrituras e historia de la Iglesia. Archivald Ecker, un reconocido catedrático y antiguo amigo íntimo de Newman, está implicado en una serie de asesinatos donde cada escena del crimen incluye una cita bíblica que anuncia otro asesinato inminente. Pamela Hart, una criminóloga especializada en el análisis del comportamiento, colabora con Newman para desentrañar un aspecto desconocido y aterrador del pasado del asesino, que implica a personajes de las más altas esferas del gobierno de los Estados Unidos. En una frenética carrera contrarreloj por San Francisco, Pamela y Joseph luchan por detener al homicida sin rumbo claro. La ciudad y la nación entera entran en estado de pánico cuando los especialistas predicen que, si las matanzas no se detienen, habrá una catástrofe sin igual en la historia de la Unión Americana.

Now and on Earth
Author: Jim Thompson
Publisher: Mulholland Books
ISBN: 0316195995
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
San Diego in the years before World War II. James Dillon is barely scraping by working a menial job in manufacturing, trying to raise a family and support his elderly mother and sister Frankie at the same time. He drinks too hard -- just like his father and nearly everyone in his extended family. With so many people crammed into one home, sometimes there's so much fighting he can barely stand it. But if James can survive the chaos of everyday life long enough, maybe -- just maybe -- there's a chance it'll all get better. Now and on Earth, Jim Thompson's first novel, draws on personal experience to depict a hardscrabble life in the sun-soaked streets of mid-20th century California. Chronicling the birth of a writer and the plight of the working man, it prefigures the American classics that followed, in a deeply-felt, autobiographical tale that shows a writer just coming into his own.

The Forbidden
Author: Benito Pérez Galdós
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 144380777X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 403
Book Description
Benito Pérez Galdós, considered Spain’s most important novelist after Cervantes, wrote 77 novels, several works of theater and a number of other tomes during his lifetime (1843–1920). His works have been translated into all major languages of the world, and many of his most highly regarded novels, those of the contemporary period, have been translated into English two, three and even four times over. Of the few “contemporary novels” of Galdós that until now have not come to light in English, The Forbidden is certainly among the most noteworthy. The story line concerns a wealthy philanderer, José María Bueno de Guzmán, who attempts to buy the favors of his three beautiful married cousins. He is successful with the first, Eloísa, a grasping materialist who falls deeply in love with him. Then he rejects her in order to attempt to seduce the youngest, Camila. Meanwhile, the third, the pseudo-intellectual María Juana, jealous, seduces José María. But it is Camila, healthy, impetuous and wild, who resists his temptations and holds our attention. The novelist and critic Leopoldo Alas, Galdós’s contemporary, calls her “the most feminine, graceful, lively female character that any modern novelist has painted.” As a naturalistic study, in the manner of Balzac in particular, principal characters of Galdós’s other novels (El doctor Centeno, La de Bringas, La familia de León Roch) become fleetingly visible in The Forbidden. In addition, the entire Bueno de Guzmán family gives evidence of the naturalistic emphasis on heredity: they all display certain physical or mental disorders. Eloísa has a morbid fear of feathers, María Juana often feels that she has a tiny piece of cloth caught in her teeth, José María suffers bouts of depression, an uncle is a kleptomaniac, one of the relatives writes letters to himself, etc. At the same time, this novel shows the foibles of Spanish society where status is determined by one’s associates, by the wearing of finery, and by living on borrowed money. In their history of Spanish literature, Chandler and Schwartz call Galdós “the greatest novelist of the nineteenth century and the only one who deserves to be mentioned in the same breath with great novelists like Balzac, Dickens and Dostoievsky.” The Forbidden, written at the height of the author’s creative powers, is a major work and its publication for an English-speaking audience is long overdue.
