Sinopsis del Libro

Libro El Club de Los Mentirosos

The Texas refinery town of Leechfield, perched on the swampy rim of the Gulf, is famous for mosquitoes and the manufacture of Agent Orange - a place where the only bookstores are religious ones and the restaurants serve only fried food. A handful of the Leechfield oil workers gather regularly at the American Legion Bar to drink salted beer and spin long, improbable tales. They're the Liars' Club. And to the girl whose father is the club's undisputed champion mythmaker, they exude a fatal glamour - one that lifts her from ordinary life. But there are other lies. Darker, more hidden. Her mother's unimaginable past threatens the family's very sanity. Mary Karr looks back through younger eyes to exorcise those demons: a mad, puritanical grandmother; a vast inheritance squandered in one year flat; endless emptied bottles; and the darknesses inflicted on an eight-year-old girl. This voice explodes with antic, wit, stripped of self-pity. Miraculously, it makes a journey into joy. Here is a "terrific family of liars redeemed by a slow unearthing of truth."

Diana Mosley

Libro Diana Mosley

Diana Mosley (née Mitford) had brains, beauty and charm, wealth and social position: she risked everything to follow the dark new creed of fascism when, at twenty-two, she fell in love with Oswald Mosley, the British fascist leader, and committed her life to his ideas. In Germany she became a friend of Hitler and Goebbels; by 1940, she was in a damp cell in Holloway prison. Jan Dalley's fascinating and undeceived biography cuts through the mythology that has been built up around the Mitford sisters and around the Mosleys and reveals the truth about both an extraordinary life and the web of...

Libro James Joyce - Roma y Otras Historias

"James Joyce, Roma e altre storie" descrive i mesi in cui scrittore irlandese James Joyce ("Ulisse," "Finnegans Wake," "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man"), ha vissuto a Roma, tra il 1906 e il 1907. E' un rendiconto degli incontri tra Joyce e il detective Herr David Mondine, delle lettere scritte dal Mr. Joyce al suo fratello Stanislaus e di un diario tenuto da Herr Mondine, che costruisce una coinvolgente narrazione di quei giorni. Joyce, frustrato dalla vita che conduceva a Trieste - allora parte dell'Impero d'Austria-Ungheria - fugge, con Miss Nora Barnacle, una moglie non sposata, e ...

Guadalupe Victoria: El águila negra

Libro Guadalupe Victoria: El águila negra

El águila negra, la exhaustiva obra de Luis Armando Victoria Santamaría, es el testimonio y testamento de uno de los grandes protagonistas de la historia mexicana: el primer presidente de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos. Relegada durante décadas a una especie de segunda posición, acaso por representar la calma y la estabilidad —fue el único presidente del país en casi treinta años en completar su periodo constitucional legal, en una época en la que los políticos morían a traición un día sí y otro también—, su figura es finalmente reivindicada a cabalidad en este libro. "Existen ...
