Título : 1Q84 Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: MURAKAMI, HARUKI, Autor Editorial: LONDON : VINTAGE BOOKS Fecha de publicación: 2011 Número de páginas: 1318 PP ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-09-957807-9 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Translations into English; FICTION; Science Fiction; Literary FICTION Romance; Cultural Heritage; Dystopian; FICTION; World Literature; Japan; Myth & Legend Told As Fiction; Historical Fiction Clasificación: 895.6 Japonaise Resumen: The year is 1984 and the city is Tokyo. A young woman named Aomame follows a taxi driver’s enigmatic suggestion and begins to notice puzzling discrepancies in the world around her.
She has entered, she realizes, a parallel existence, which she calls 1Q84 —“Q is for ‘question mark.’ A world that bears a question.” Meanwhile, an aspiring writer named Tengo takes on a suspect ghostwriting project. He becomes so wrapped up with the work and its unusual author that, soon, his previously placid life begins to come unraveled.
As Aomame’s and Tengo’s narratives converge over the course of this single year, we learn of the profound and tangled connections that bind them ever closer: a beautiful, dyslexic teenage girl with a unique vision; a mysterious religious cult that instigated a shoot-out with the metropolitan police; a reclusive, wealthy dowager who runs a shelter for abused women; a hideously ugly private investigator; a mild-mannered yet ruthlessly efficient bodyguard; and a peculiarly insistent television-fee collector.
A love story, a mystery, a fantasy, a novel of self-discovery, a dystopia to rival George Orwell’s—1Q84 is Haruki Murakami’s most ambitious undertaking yet: an instant best seller in his native Japan, and a tremendous feat of imagination from one of our most revered contemporary writers.Reserva

Título : BACKSTROM : HE WHO KILLS THE DRAGON Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: LEIF, PERSSON GW, Autor Editorial: LONDON : VINTAGE BOOKS Fecha de publicación: 2015 Número de páginas: 360p ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-0-307-95038-3 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: DETECTIVE FICTION Resumen: From a master of Scandinavian crime fiction--the first in a brilliant series of novels centered around the investigations of one irascible, obdurate, and very thirsty Swedish police officer: Detective Superintendent Evert Bäckström of the National Murder Squad.
Detective Bäckström is Persson's persistently repulsive yet undeniably brilliant comic creation--an unforgettable cop winding his way through the black comedy of a crime scene, and managing to upset nearly everyone in the process.When a newspaper delivery boy finds a 68 year-old alcoholic lying dead in his apartment--beaten with a saucepan lid and hammer, and then strangled--everyone expects an open-and-shut murder case, everyone that is but Hawaiian-shirt clad Detective Bäckström who's been assigned to lead the investigation team. Under strict orders from his doctor to improve his health as quickly as possible, Bäckström has begun stumbling to work on foot, and even eating vegetables. The police force isn't what it used to be though, and now that it's crowded with women and foreigners resisting a drink is harder than ever before. But when the newspaper boy goes missing Bäckström's suspicions are proven correct, giving his irrepressible mix of luck and laziness a chance to save the day, while managing to upset nearly everyone in the process.Reserva

Título : HOMO DEUS Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: HARARI, YUVAL NOAH, Autor Editorial: LONDON : VINTAGE BOOKS Fecha de publicación: 2017 Número de páginas: 513p ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-78470-393-6 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: CIVILIATION MODERN 21ST CENTURY SCIENCE AND CIVILIZATION FUTURE Resumen: Over the past century humankind has managed to do the impossible and rein in famine, plague, and war. This may seem hard to accept, but, as Harari explains in his trademark style—thorough, yet riveting—famine, plague and war have been transformed from incomprehensible and uncontrollable forces of nature into manageable challenges. For the first time ever, more people die from eating too much than from eating too little; more people die from old age than from infectious diseases; and more people commit suicide than are killed by soldiers, terrorists and criminals put together. The average American is a thousand times more likely to die from binging at McDonalds than from being blown up by Al Qaeda.
What then will replace famine, plague, and war at the top of the human agenda? As the self-made gods of planet earth, what destinies will we set ourselves, and which quests will we undertake? Homo Deus explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the twenty-first century—from overcoming death to creating artificial life. It asks the fundamental questions: Where do we go from here? And how will we protect this fragile world from our own destructive powers? This is the next stage of evolution. This is Homo Deus.
With the same insight and clarity that made Sapiens an international hit and a New York Times bestseller, Harari maps out our future.Reserva

Título : I CAPTURE THE CASTLE Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: SMITH, DODIE, Autor Editorial: LONDON : VINTAGE BOOKS Fecha de publicación: 2004 Número de páginas: 407p ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978099460879 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: FICTION ROMANCE Resumen: I Capture the Castle tells the story of seventeen-year-old Cassandra and her family, who live in not-so-genteel poverty in a ramshackle old English castle. Here she strives, over six turbulent months, to hone her writing skills. She fills three notebooks with sharply funny yet poignant entries. Her journals candidly chronicle the great changes that take place within the castle's walls, and her own first descent into love. By the time she pens her final entry, she has "captured the castle"-- and the heart of the reader-- in one of literature's most enchanting entertainments.
