Las ovejas de Cain

Un pastor evangélico que ha llegado a convertirse en uno de los hombres más influyentes de Honduras establece un pacto con Chicho El Serrucho, líder pandillero, para acabar con la ola de violencia y de muerte en los barrios más conflictivos de Tegucigalpa. Los términos del acuerdo no son del todo claros para la población, pero eso no importa porque los resultados son evidentes: la ciudad ha recobrado la calma. Sin embargo, esta aparente calma no la percibe igual Spike, un pandillero que desde el fallecimiento de su abuela, que lo crio en Honduras cuando su madre emigró a los Estados Unidos, y tras varios años en el Norte, vuelve a casa para convertirse en el rey de su barrio, hasta que los matones de Chicho llegan para ejercer su autoridad y despojarlo de su poder.
Cuando Spike coincide con Pablo, un joven reportero de las noticias policiales en un periódico de la capital, tan idealista como ingenuo, inexperto y desprevenido, que investiga la extraña muerte de una muchacha, y con Gustavo, el compañero fotógrafo de Pablo, la trama se precipita, como en una película de acción trepidante, con rumbo al desenmascaramiento de la falsedad y de la corrupción de unos personajes oscuros que parecen controlarlo todo en el país.
La fe, el idealismo, el poder, la corrupción y la violencia son los ingredientes principales de esta novela negra, y el autor es capaz de mezclarlos hábilmente con dosis de humor y de crítica social para ofrecer un panorama de la Honduras contemporánea y reafirmarse a la vez como uno de los narradores hondureños más prometedores de la actualidad.

La casa del salon de los pilares

Una casa de huéspedes podría no ser una simple casa de huéspedes; un espejo podría llevarnos a lo desconocido; las noches podrían ser una pesadilla interminable; o un familiar podría ya no estar entre nosotros, aunque lo veamos o hablemos con él. Se dice que las historias fantásticas son tan viejas como el miedo. La primera parte de esta opera prima de Dago Aspra traerá de vuelta al lector los recuerdos de esas “historias de fantasmas” que nos contaron, que imaginamos o que vivimos en la infancia. A través de la perspectiva de personajes inmersos en sus pesadillas, en juegos nocturnos que llevan a otros mundos o simplemente en la soledad después de la muerte de un ser querido, asistiremos, en unas tramas breves pero eficaces, a las posibilidades del miedo, del asombro, de la fantasía, porque lo que estos cuentos traen consigo es la evocación de eso que existe, sin las objeciones de la realidad objetiva, en ese mundo alterno, subjetivo y probable que es la ficción. En la segunda parte del libro la fantasía y lo sobrenatural dan paso a la realidad para abordar temas propios de lo cotidiano: las relaciones familiares o de pareja, la violencia, la tragedia o la nostalgia. Un hijo entiende que el doble de su madre es una amenaza para él; dos hermanos experimentan las consecuencias de la contemplación de unas simples aves; alguien más imagina la forma exacta de un asesinato… Con un tono menos pasional, más sobrio, en esa segunda parte el autor muestra sus habilidades para darle forma, con palabras, a las emociones, a eso que no siempre saben mostrar los hechos. Con este primer libro Dago Aspra se une a la última generación de narradores hondureños nacidos durante los 80´s y 90´s, una generación que ya marca una nueva etapa en la literatura hondureña.

Textos fundacionales de la literatura hondureña

Helen Umaña se ha dedicado durante más de tres décadas a recorrer bibliotecas y escudriñar viejos archivos y colecciones privadas con el propósito de identificar los puntos de referencia que configuran la historia de la literatura hondureña. Ese ambicioso proyecto, que es ahora bibliografía obligada para cualquier investigador, incluye, además de textos de crítica sobre autores contemporáneos, estudios panorámicos sobre la novela, el cuento, la poesía, el microrrelato y la tradición oral.
En Textos fundacionales de la literatura hondureña desarrolla una tarea pendiente: el análisis de las crónicas y ensayos escritos en lo que hoy es Honduras por los primeros españoles que arribaron en las carabelas y los que se quedaron durante la Conquista y el Periodo Colonial, hasta aquellos otros que, siendo también españoles, criollos o mestizos, continuaron asentando las bases de la literatura nacional durante la Independencia y la Reforma Liberal en el Siglo XIX.
Estructurado en dos partes en las que se abordan esos periodos, este libro presenta, además, el contexto histórico y cultural del momento en que Honduras ingresa al mundo de las letras y unas reflexiones finales que ofrecen un panorama sobre los escritos de los autores estudiados.
Con esta obra, exhaustiva en la búsqueda —una labor que bien podría calificarse de «arqueología literaria»— y profusa en citas de los textos analizados, que resultan curiosas o sorprendentes, por los reveladores datos incluidos o por el estilo de sus autores, Helen Umaña completa su particular «historia y análisis de la literatura hondureña», y se confirma como la voz más importante de la crítica literaria de nuestro país en las últimas décadas.

Seriously, So Good

Delicious, satisfying recipes that are good for your health, heart, and mind by the beloved blogger and creator of Brocc Your Body.

Self-proclaimed SoCal beach girl Carissa Stanton first earned her nickname Brocc, not because of an obsession with broccoli (though she thinks it’s a damn good veggie), but because she hosted weekly girl’s nights with her friends who loved to cook, eat—and move their bodies. With Justin Timberlake’s “Rock Your Body” in mind, she combined her love of food and created @BroccYourBody to start sharing her favorite recipes on Instagram.

Now, Carissa shares with her hundreds of thousands of followers how cooking for yourself after a busy day of work can be just as exciting as relaxing with friends over cocktails and apps. Seriously, So Good reflects her philosophy of feeling good about what she’s cooking and eating by making smart choices without depriving herself of carbs or a splash of cream here and there. She wants to remove the anxiety around food by helping us all feel more confident in and out of the kitchen. She shares her recipes and balanced outlook to motivate others to experience a stress-free cooking approach while enjoying mouth-watering meals alone or with loved ones.

Career Forward

At a time when many long-held workplace structures and beliefs are changing, Career Forward is a beacon for women aspiring to achieve success and satisfaction in rewarding careers. Drawing on decades of experience reaching the top of Fortune 500 companies, Grace Puma and Christiana Smith Shi show women how to maximize their career journeys, get paid what they’re worth, navigate the shifts that occur in any company, build a leadership identity, and have a full life in and out of work.

The authors challenge negative stereotypes about female ambition, and urge women to be bold, follow their dreams, and seize the chance to lead “big” lives. The secret is to focus on career first, job second. Instead of chasing a better job title or a salary bump, the goal should be a long-range career path that leads to success. “Career forward” means keeping a focus on the future and recognizing that being good at your job is often not enough—that you should take every opportunity to boost your connections, take on “difficult” assignments, and work actively to broaden your skills.

Packed with personal anecdotes and wisdom from women who’ve been there, and featuring quizzes and checklists for self-evaluation, Career Forward provides a wealth of valuable lessons, including the value of thinking of yourself as a “growth stock” and, instead of chasing the elusive work-life balance, living a well-rounded 360-degree life that fully embraces both. Offering a refreshing response to anyone who wonders whether working hard is really worth it, Puma and Smith Shi’s emphatic answer is “yes,” because by correctly following the blueprint in Career Forward, the rewards will far outweigh the effort.

Expiration Dates

Being single is like playing the lottery. There’s always the chance that with one piece of paper you could win it all.

Daphne Bell believes the universe has a plan for her. Every time she meets a new man, she receives a slip of paper with his name and a number on it—the exact amount of time they will be together. The papers told her she’d spend three days with Martin in Paris; five weeks with Noah in San Francisco; and three months with Hugo, her ex-boyfriend turned best friend. Daphne has been receiving the numbered papers for over twenty years, always wondering when there might be one without an expiration. Finally, the night of a blind date at her favorite Los Angeles restaurant, there’s only a name: Jake.

But as Jake and Daphne’s story unfolds, Daphne finds herself doubting the paper’s prediction, and wrestling with what it means to be both committed and truthful. Because Daphne knows things Jake doesn’t, information that—if he found out—would break his heart.

Told with her signature warmth and insight into matters of the heart, Rebecca Serle has finally set her sights on romantic love. The result is a gripping, emotional, passionate, and (yes) heartbreaking novel about what it means to be single, what it means to find love, and ultimately how we define each of them for ourselves. Expiration Dates is the one fans have been waiting for.

At My Italian Table

Bring the joy of Italian cooking to your kitchen with 100 classic and incredibly delicious Italian family favorites, from the star of Laura in the Kitchen.

When Laura Vitale moved to the United States from her native Italy as a teenager, she was homesick—not just for her family, but for her beloved nonna’s cooking. The slow-cooked Sunday sauces loaded with pork ribs and tender braised beef (and plenty of red wine), the quick pan-fried breaded chicken cutlets destined to be Parmesan’d, the frittata de maccheroni that she’d tuck in a knapsack for beachside picnics . . . and so began a quest to re-create Nonna’s delicious legacy in Laura’s New Jersey kitchen.

Ever since, Laura has spent countless hours on the phone with Nonna to learn her secrets for the crispiest fried Cacio e Pepe Aranini, Zia Mimma’s Focaccia Barese (mashed potatoes are the key to its fluffy texture), decadent four-cheese baked ziti, a Sunday supper go-to of Roasted Chicken and Potatoes with Herby Lemon Salsa, and a semolina cake to end all yellow cakes, topped with heaps of limoncello-soaked strawberries. Decades of Sunday suppers, holiday meals, and get-it-done-fast weeknight dinners have perfected the flavors and techniques that represent the essence of Laura’s Italy.
