Montserrat has always been overlooked. She's a talented sound editor, but she's left out of the boys' club running the film industry in '90s Mexico City. She's all-but-invisible to her best friend Tristán. Then Tristán discovers his new neighbour is the cult horror director Abel Urueta, and the legendary auteur claims he has a way to change their lives - even if his tales of a Nazi occultist imbuing magic into highly volatile silver nitrate stock sounds like fantasy. The magic film was never finished, which is why, Urueta swears, his career vanished overnight. He is cursed.

Inspired by Mexican folklore, Gods of Jade and Shadow is a magical, wildly imaginative coming-of-age tale for fans of Katherine Arden, Naomi Novik and Helene Wecker. The Jazz Age is in full swing, but Casiopea Tun is too busy scrubbing floors in her wealthy grandfather's house to do more than dream of a life far from her small town in Southern Mexico. Until the day she accidentally frees an ancient Mayan god of death, who offers her a deal: in return for Casiopea's help in recovering his throne, he will grant her whatever she desires.

When glamorous socialite Noemí Taboada receives a frantic letter from her newlywed cousin begging to be rescued from a mysterious doom, it's clear something is desperately amiss. Catalina has always had a flair for the dramatic, but her claims that her husband is poisoning her and her visions of restless ghosts seem remarkable, even for her. Noemí's chic gowns and perfect lipstick are more suited to cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing, but she immediately heads to High Place, a remote mansion in the Mexican countryside, determined to discover what is so affecting her cousin.

They are the Beautiful Ones, Loisail's most notable socialites, and this spring is Nina's chance to join their ranks, courtesy of her well connected cousin and his calculating wife. But the Grand Season has just begun and already Nina's debut has gone disastrously awry. She has always struggled to control her telekinesis: the haphazard manifestations of her powers have long made her the subject of gossip - malicious neighbours even call her the Witch of Oldhouse.

Colmadas de datos y análisis históricos, estas páginas transparentan el contexto del conflicto árabe-israelí, el rol del fundamentalismo islámico promovido por Irán y Qatar, y la violencia de quienes, con desconocimiento o mala fe, se manifiestan contra Israel y los judíos con un antisemitismo permisivo y mordaz, desatado con virulencia a partir del 7 de octubre. Hoy, advierte la autora, están en juego las libertades y los valores democráticos de Occidente.

Deseada, buscada, provocada, inadvertida, la soledad puede adoptar muchas formas, pero en la mayoría de casos es una situación que nos da miedo, nos genera rechazo y tratamos de evitar a toda costa. En el mundo actual y especialmente a partir de una cierta edad, parece que la soledad se entiende como un fracaso: estar soltero, divorciado o separado es algo que debe superarse a toda costa. Sin embargo, saber estar solo es en realidad un signo de madurez, de autonomía, de riqueza personal.

Nei casermoni di via Stalingrado a Piombino avere quattordici anni è difficile. E se tuo padre è un buono a nulla o si spezza la schiena nelle acciaierie che danno pane e disperazione a mezza città, il massimo che puoi desiderare è una serata al pattinodromo, o avere un fratello che comandi il branco, o trovare il tuo nome scritto su una panchina. Lo sanno bene Anna e Francesca, amiche inseparabili che tra quelle case popolari si sono trovate e scelte.
