"Me enredé en el cordón

de uno de mis zapatos

y hacia arriba caí -

sobre la arboleda, 

sobre los tejados,

sobre las montañas, sobre los poblados.

Caí donde el ruido se vuelve color 

y al mirar abajo

tanto me mareé

que aunque no quería

hasta vomité."

Rimas, poesía.

On his deathbed, Dr. Joanne Intrator’s father poses two unsettling questions:

“Are you tough enough? Do they know who you are?”

Joanne soon realizes that these haunting questions relate to a center-city Berlin building at 16 Wallstrasse that the Nazis ripped away from her family in 1938. But a decade is to pass before she will fully come to grasp why her father threw down the gauntlet as he did.

Repeatedly, Joanne’s restitution quest brings her into confrontation with yet another of her profound fears surrounding Germany and the Holocaust. Having to call on reserves of strength she’s unsure she possesses, the author leans into her professional command of psychiatry, often overcoming flabbergasting obstacles perniciously dumped in her path.

The depth and lucidity of psychological insight threaded throughout Summons to Berlin makes it an attention-grabbing standout among books on like topics. As a reader, you’ll come away delighted to know just who Dr. Joanne Intrator is. You’ll also finish the book cheering for her, because in the end, she proves far more than tough enough to satisfy her father’s unnerving final demands.

In The Son of Neptune, Percy, Hazel, and Frank met in Camp Jupiter, the Roman equivalent of Camp Halfblood, and traveled to the land beyond the gods to complete a dangerous quest. The third book in the Heroes of Olympus series will unite them with Jason, Piper, and Leo. But they number only six--who will complete the Prophecy of Seven?

The Greek and Roman demigods will have to cooperate in order to defeat the giants released by the Earth Mother, Gaea. Then they will have to sail together to the ancient land to find the Doors of Death. What exactly are the Doors of Death? Much of the prophecy remains a mystery. . . . With old friends and new friends joining forces, a marvelous ship, fearsome foes, and an exotic setting, The Mark of Athena promises to be another unforgettable adventure by master storyteller Rick Riordan.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes will revisit the world of Panem sixty-four years before the events of The Hunger Games, starting on the morning of the reaping of the Tenth Hunger Games.

Balada de pájaros cantores y serpientes es una novela de ciencia ficción de la autora estadounidense Suzanne Collins. Es el cuarto libro de la aclamada Serie de Los juegos del hambre que ya tiene sus tres libros anteriores convertidos en película.

A mouse is taking a stroll through the deep, dark wood when along comes a hungry fox, then an owl, and then a snake. The mouse is good enough to eat but smart enough to know this, so he invents . . . the gruffalo! As Mouse explains, the gruffalo is a creature with terrible claws, and terrible tusks in its terrible jaws, and knobbly knees and turned-out toes, and a poisonous wart at the end of its nose. But Mouse has no worry to show. After all, there’s no such thing as a gruffalo.

Two,  1# A New York Times bestseller! Epic love stories to enjoy

Encantador como un cuento de hadas, tan extenso como una novela, tan divertido como unos dibujos animados, Las aventuras de Cebollino es un libro único, nacido en la atmósfera de entusiasmo y esperanza posterior a la Segunda Guerra Mundial. La trama es lineal: los buenos, oprimidos por el tirano y abrumados por reglas sin sentido, dirigidos por el joven Cebollino, podrán derrotar a los villanos mediante engaños, burlas y planes brillantes, sin recurrir a la violencia. Sin embargo, la intención de Gianni Rodari no es organizar una lucha entre el bien y el mal: es demostrar que una sociedad justa es posible, deseable e incluso divertida para todos.
