Te deseo la felicidad
Un nuevo libro del papa Francisco en el que continúa profundizando en el mensaje más trascendental que quiere transmitirnos: «Dios quiere lo mejor para nosotros, nos quiere felices».

«Ten valor para ser feliz».

El pontífice nos propone en estas páginas quince pasos concretos para alcanzar la felicidad, pero no se trata de la que nos ofrece el mundo, sino de aquella permanente y eterna que viene de Dios. «El camino de Jesús siempre conduce a la felicidad. Siempre». Como él mismo explica: «Hemos sido creados para una felicidad más grande», y a través de sus palabras nos anima a salir de nuestra zona de confort, de miedo, de tristeza, para soñar en grande, para vivir plenamente nuestra vida aprendiendo a levantarnos tras los fracasos y a caminar de la mano de los demás: «En el arte de caminar lo que importa no es no caer, sino saber levantarse».

Es un libro en el que no solamente se combinan distintos mensajes del papa Francisco a lo largo de los años sobre lo que es la verdadera felicidad, sino que estos se intercalan con citas de los libros, autores y películas que han marcado su vida, entre ellos, san Agustín, Chesterton, Dostoievski, san Juan de la Cruz, Tolkien, Octavio Paz y muchos más. Además, nos invita a adentrarnos en las bienaventuranzas para salir de nosotros mismos y vivir en comunidad y para los demás, para atrevernos a ser más, para tener el valor de ir a contracorriente, de no darnos por vencidos y de no caer en quimeras que nos llevan hacia una falsa felicidad: «No tengáis miedo de arriesgaros, sino de vivir paralizados».

«La verdadera alegría no nace de las cosas materiales, de poseerlas. ¡No! Nace del encuentro, de la relación con los demás, del sentirse aceptado, comprendido, amado, de comprender y de amar no por interés pasajero, sino porque el otro es una persona».

Dream Town
It’s the eve of 1953, and Aloysius Archer is in Los Angeles to ring in the New Year with an old friend, aspiring actress Liberty Callahan, when their evening is interrupted by an acquaintance of Callahan’s: Eleanor Lamb, a screenwriter in dire straits.

After a series of increasingly chilling events—mysterious phone calls, the same blue car loitering outside her house, and a bloody knife left in her sink—Eleanor fears that her life is in danger, and she wants to hire Archer to look into the matter. Archer suspects that Eleanor knows more than she’s saying, but before he can officially take on her case, a dead body turns up inside of Eleanor’s home . . . and Eleanor herself disappears.

Missing client or not, Archer is dead set on finding both the murderer and Eleanor. With the help of Callahan and his partner Willie Dash, he launches an investigation that will take him from mob-ridden Las Vegas to the glamorous world of Hollywood to the darkest corners of Los Angeles—a city in which beautiful faces are attached to cutthroat schemers, where the cops can be more corrupt than the criminals . . . and where the powerful people responsible for his client’s disappearance will kill without a moment’s hesitation if they catch Archer on their trail.

For centuries, the citizens of Velle have waited for their New Maiden to return. The prophecy states she will appear as the third daughter of a third daughter. When the fabled child is finally born to Velle’s reigning queen all rejoice except for Elodie, the queen’s eldest child, who has lost her claim to the crown.

Desperate, Elodie purchases a sleeping potion from Sabine, who sells sadness. But the apothecary mistakenly sends the princess away with a vial of tears instead of a harmless sleeping brew.

With the fates of their families and country hanging in the balance, Sabine and Elodie hurry to revive the Third Daughter while a slow-burning attraction between the two girls erupts in full force.

A must-read for fans of the BookTok sensations ​Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard, Dance of Thieves by Mary E. Pearson, and These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong.

Effie has most inconveniently fallen in love with the dashing Mr. Benedict Ashbrooke. There’s only one problem: Effie is a housemaid, and a housemaid cannot marry a gentleman. It seems that Effie is out of luck until she stumbles into the faerie realm of Lord Blackthorn, who is only too eager to help her win Mr. Ashbrooke’s heart. All he asks in return is that Effie sew ten thousand stitches onto his favorite jacket.

Effie has heard rumors about what happens to those who accept magical bargains. But life as a maid at Hartfield is so awful that she is willing to risk even her immortal soul for a chance at something better. Now she has one hundred days—and ten thousand stitches—to make Mr. Ashbrooke fall in love and propose…if Lord Blackthorn doesn’t wreck things by accident, that is. For Effie’s greatest obstacle might well be Lord Blackthorn’s overwhelmingly good intentions.

An enchanting faerie tale set in Olivia Atwater’s magical version of Regency England, Ten Thousand Stitches is “a delightful, romantic romp” (Hannah Whitten) with a Cinderella twist and heaps of heart.

Regency Faerie Tales 3: Longshadow
Proper Regency ladies are not supposed to become magicians—but Miss Abigail Wilder is far from proper.

The marriageable young ladies of London are dying mysteriously, and Abigail Wilder intends to discover why. Abigail’s father, the Lord Sorcier of England, believes that a dark lord of faerie is involved. But while Abigail is willing to match her magic against Lord Longshadow, neither her father nor high society believes that she is capable of doing so.

Thankfully, Abigail is not the only one investigating the terrible events. Mercy, a street rat and self-taught magician, insists on joining Abigail in unraveling the mystery. Mercy is unpredictable, and her magic is strange and foreboding—but the greatest danger she poses may well be to Abigail’s heart.

A queer romantic faerie tale of defiant hope and love against all odds, set in Olivia Atwater’s enchanting version of Regency England.

Half a Soul
“Whimsical, witty, and brimming over with charm” (India Holton), Olivia Atwater’s delightful debut will transport you to a magical version of Regency England, where the only thing more meddlesome than a fairy is a marriage-minded mother!

It’s difficult to find a husband in Regency England when you’re a young lady with only half a soul.

Ever since she was cursed by a faerie, Theodora Ettings has had no sense of fear or embarrassment—an unfortunate condition that leaves her prone to accidental scandal. Dora hopes to be a quiet, sensible wallflower during the London Season—but when Elias Wilder, the strange, handsome, and utterly ill-mannered Lord Sorcier, discovers her condition, she is instead drawn into peculiar and dangerous faerie affairs.


If her reputation can survive both her curse and her sudden connection with the least-liked man in all high society, then she and her family may yet reclaim their normal place in the world. But the longer Dora spends with Elias, the more she begins to suspect that one may indeed fall in love even with only half a soul.

Ultimas noticias de Jesus
Una fascinante investigación histórica sobre el personaje más importante de todos los tiempos. A menudo se cree que la historia no es tan importante como la teología a la hora de abordar la egregia figura de Jesús de Nazaret. Craso error. La arqueología permite aproximarnos a él desde el estudio de las piedras, del trabajo de campo y del análisis concienzudo y perseverante de los expertos. Ello se demuestra, por ejemplo, con el descubrimiento en 2020 de un baño ritual de hace dos mil años al pie del huerto de los Olivos —que explicaría el nombre de Getsemaní, donde Jesús sudó sangre al inicio de su Pasión—, o del llamado «Esqueleto 4926», rescatado de las entrañas de la tierra con el fragmento de un clavo de hierro fijado en su talón, a imagen y semejanza de Jesús. Zavala nos acerca así, con su acostumbrado rigor y amenidad, a todos estos hallazgos y a otros tanto o más deslumbrantes aún, como el de la corona de espinas que ciñó la cabeza del Nazareno, el Santo Grial con el que celebró la Última Cena o los lienzos que cubrieron su cuerpo tras la crucifixión. Un cóctel explosivo, en suma, el de la fe y la ciencia juntas, que José María Zavala sabe armar como nadie en estas páginas, en las que el lector viaja de su mano por los oscuros recovecos de la Historia, iluminados ahora tras una asombrosa investigación.

Por que fracasa la politica
Cuáles son las cinco fallas de la política que nos impiden vivir en una sociedad más justa, igualitaria, próspera y sostenible¿Por qué la política y sus actores siempre nos decepcionan? ¿Por qué padecemos tal grado de desafección política? Y si el problema no son los políticos sino nuestra disonancia cognitiva: Queremos vivir en democracia, pero la voluntad popular es un mito. Anhelamos la igualdad, siempre y cuando no sea nuestra riqueza la que está en juego. Abogamos por la solidaridad, más cuando la recibimos que cuando la damos. Exigimos más seguridad, pero no si limita nuestras libertades. Y queremos una economía próspera, pero lo que nos hace más ricos a corto plazo, nos empobrece a largo plazo. Siempre se repite el mismo patrón: nuestro propio interés perjudica nuestra capacidad para alcanzar objetivos colectivos.Basándose en ejemplos que abarcan desde la antigua Grecia hasta el Brexit el reputado profesor de la Universidad de Oxford demuestra cómo podemos aprender a vivir con nuestras contradicciones de forma que la política vuelva a gozar del prestigio que atesoró.

La guerra de los chips
Define el fin de la era de la globalización y explica el mayor conflicto geopolítico desde la guerra fría.

Si hay un conflicto que está definiendo ahora mismo la geopolítica mundial es la guerra de los chips. Todas las tecnologías actuales, de los misiles a los microondas, de los smartphones a los coches, funcionan con semiconductores. La economía mundial, el equilibrio de poderes, la supremacía militar y el desarrollo industrial dependen de su producción constante. Hasta hace poco, Estados Unidos era el principal productor de semiconductores, lo que le permitía mantener su liderazgo como primera superpotencia mundial. Sin embargo, su posición dominante se ve cada vez más amenazada por competidores de Taiwán, Corea, Europa y, sobre todo, China, que inyecta anualmente miles de millones en un programa de fabricación de procesadores con el fin de alcanzar a su competidor estadounidense. No solo está en juego la prosperidad económica de Estados Unidos, sino también su superioridad militar.

Chris Miller muestra cómo los microprocesadores han revolucionado el mundo y cambiado el curso de la Historia, y cómo la lucha por esta tecnología podría conducir no solo a su escasez mundial, sino también al nacimiento de una nueva Guerra Fría con una superpotencia hostil desesperada por cubrir la brecha que la separa de su rival. Esclarecedor, pertinente y cautivador, La guerra de los chips es una obra esencial para entender el papel vital de esta tecnología en la situación política y económica actual y el futuro que nos espera.

La historia del mundo en 50 mentiras
Con una perspectiva verdaderamente universal, La historia del mundo en 50 mentiras te contará las fascinantes falacias que le han dado forma al mundo.

La primera gran fake news de la historia fue un escándalo que involucró a una comunidad de gente murciélago viviendo en la Luna.

¿Sí existieron el rey Arturo, su mítica espada y el mago Merlín? Resulta que todo está sospechosamente registrado en un libro de historia muy antiguo.

La Inquisición española fue atroz y cruel... o tal vez no tanto, tomando en cuenta que su castigo más común era confiscar todos los bienes del hereje en cuestión.

Cancelados
Una crítica mordaz a las nuevas políticas identitarias woke de la mano de Umut Özkirimli, un destacado pensador de la izquierda progresista. En tiempos de máxima polarización del discurso social y político debemos dar espacio al verdadero progresismo, ese que cuestiona sin temor su propio seno. Ahora mismo, alguien, en algún lugar, está siendo cancelado. Tuits improvisados o bromas «inofensivas» en la oficina pueden destrozar vidas. La izquierda condena a la derecha y el fanatismo de las viejas élites. La derecha se queja de lo políticamente correcto. En realidad, ambos bandos se confabulan en una política reaccionaria tan contraproducente como divisiva. ¿Puede la izquierda escapar de este extremismo y mantenerse fiel a los ideales progresistas que una vez profesó? En esta provocadora obra, Umut Özkirimli revela cómo la izquierda se ha visto arrastrada a una espiral de odio tóxico e indignación, alejándose de los ideales democráticos de libertad y pluralismo que pretende representar. Explorando las similitudes entre el populismo de derechas y la política identitaria radical, expone una visión alternativa. Solo centrándose en la humanidad que compartimos y obviando nuestras diferencias podrá la izquierda encontrar un camino constructivo y consensuado que nos devuelva de lo woke.

Haz mas con menos
Con Haz más con menos, aprende a aplicar la frugalidad para aumentar la productividad gastando poco y lleva tu trabajo, empresa o negocio al siguiente nivel. Cuando escuchas la palabra innovación, inmediatamente evocas países desarrollados como Suiza o Estados Unidos, además de lugares y personajes como la nasa, Silicon Valley y Nikola Tesla. Por otro lado, sociedades con recursos más limitados, como las latinoamericanas, son fácilmente excluidas de la definición colectiva de tecnología y progreso. En un mundo donde todo es cada vez más costoso y menos asequible, ¿qué puede hacer un pequeño negocio en la Ciudad de México, Lima o Buenos Aires al lado de gigantes como Apple, Amazon o Alibaba para llegar mejor a su consumidor final? La respuesta: ¡hacer más con menos! Prabhu, Granados, Symmes y Radjou, cuatro de los investigadores con más experiencia en el campo de la innovación frugal, explican la ruta que tomaron empresas como Oxxo, Bimbo y Tesla para aplicar con éxito este principio que puede definir el futuro de la economía mundial.
