Publisher's summary
Molly Lane ha muerto a los cuarenta y seis años de edad. Era una mujer muy libre, muy seductora, y en su entierro se encuentran presentes los cuatro hombres más importantes de su vida: Clive Linley, músico famoso; Vernon Halliday, periodista y director de uno de los grandes periódicos del país; George Lane, su poderoso y multimillonario marido, y Julian Garmony, un notorio político de derechas, actual ministro de Asuntos Exteriores y candidato a primer ministro.
Clive y Vernon son amigos desde los lejanos y felices años sesenta, y ambos fueron amantes de Molly cuando todos ellos eran jóvenes, idealistas y pobres. George, el marido, entró mucho más tarde en la vida de la fascinante mujer y jamás pudo poseerla del todo, excepto en el terrible período final, de descenso a los infiernos de la pérdida de memoria y la desintegración mental, en el que se convirtió en su implacable cuidador y carcelero. Y con respecto a Garmony, representante de la derecha más pura y dura y de todo lo que Vernon, Clive y Molly odiaron durante toda su vida, ni el periodista ni el músico pueden explicarse qué era lo que Molly veía en él, qué extraña relación les unía.
Pero lo descubrirán pocos días más tarde cuando George, el marido, le ofrece a Vernon unas espectaculares fotos del futuro primer ministro vestido con unas excitantes ropas de mujer. Fotos tomadas precisamente por Molly y que serán el disparo de salida de esta feroz, cínica, mordiente fábula moral.
«A pesar de la negrura de su tema, o precisamente por ello, Amsterdam es una novela extremadamente divertida. lan McEwan satiriza nuestra sociedad contemporánea con una brillantez e inteligencia pocas veces igualada...» (Alain de Botton, The lndependent).
«Su novela más divertida, pero también la más letal hasta la fecha... Amsterdam es una severa crítica de la naturaleza humana, con especiales referencias a la generación de los años sesenta. McEwan es uno de los escritores ingleses más originales, a pesar de que no parece interesado en la escritura experimental. Su prosa es precisa y reveladora, y todo lo que describe se nos aparece nuevo, sorprendente, luminoso, como un cuadro familiar recientemente limpiado y restaurado» (Gabriele Annan, The New York Review of Books).
«Una fábula moral extremadamente inmoral, contada con irónica distancia, y un argumento impecable, lleno de suspense, que despliega su elegante estructura para placer del lector. Me recuerda a las mejores obras de Chesterton y de Huxley, y también encuentro en ella ecos de Henry James» (A.S. Byatt, The Literary Review).
«Una obra maravillosamente orquestada por un artista mayor de la literatura» (Phil Baker, Times Literary Supplement).

V13: viernes 13 de noviembre de 2015. En tres puntos diferentes de París se producen atentados yihadistas. El más grave es el de la sala Bataclan, donde están actuando los Eagles of Death Metal.

"El hombre que confundió a su mujer con un sombrero" se convirtió inmediatamente en un clásico y consagró a Oliver Sacks como "uno de los grandes escritores clínicos del siglo" (The New York Times). En este audiolibro, Oliver Sacks narra veinte historiales médicos de pacientes perdidos en el mundo extraño y aparentemente irremediable de las enfermedades neurológicas. Se trata de casos de individuos, aquejados por inauditas aberraciones de la percepción que han perdido la memoria, y con ella, la mayor parte de su pasado.

Una novela total: thriller con flecos esotéricos, obra de crítica política, descarnado retrato familiar y narración existencial sobre el dolor y el amor. Año 2027. Francia se prepara para unas elecciones presidenciales que es muy posible que gane una estrella de la televisión. El hombre fuerte detrás de esa candidatura es el actual ministro de Economía y Finanzas, Bruno Juge, para quien trabaja como asesor Paul Raison, el protagonista de la novela, un hombre taciturno y descreído.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.
