Misterio
¥9.00
Londres, 1824, el relojero Dorff es asaltado por dos emboscados y recibe la ayuda de Renato de Giac, marqués de Brezé. Más tarde, ya en casa de Dorff, éste le entrega a Renato un manuscrito y un cofre con documentos importantísimos que los que están en el poder en Francia, Luis XVIII y su jefe de policía Lecazes, pretenden arrebatarle. La autora aborda por primera vez el género de la novela histórica mediante la recreación de la compleja historia de Luis XVII, el delfín perdido, el hijo de Luis XVI y María Antonieta. Asistiremos también a la intriga amorosa de Renato de Giac y Amelia, la hija mayor de Dorff. Este es un excepcional relato que aspira, como nos dice la autora en su novela, “a proyectar un rayo de luz en las lobregueces históricas por medio de la lámpara caprichosa de la fantasía”.

O Califado (Edi??o Portuguesa)
¥24.44
Português do Brasil! Eisa McCarthy vive na Cidade Califado sob o controle do grupo radical Isl?mico, o Ghuraba. Sete anos atrás, o General Mohammad bin-Rasulullah derrotou os Estados Unidos numa trai??o impiedosa e estabeleceu seu Califado mundial nas ruinas de Washington, D.C. O santo líder supremo do Ghuraba, o Abu al-Ghuraba, alega que o pai de Eisa lhe deu controle sobre o arsenal nuclear dos E.U.A, uma alega??o refor?ada pelas cinzas fumegantes de muitas cidades e o testemunho de sua m?e Síria. Mas depois que sua m?e foi acusada de apostasia, ela descobre que seu pai pode n?o ser o ‘mártir’ que o Ghuraba alega. O Ghuraba realmente possui os códigos de lan?amento para os mísseis ICBM? Ou o pai dela ‘os bloqueou’, como o Coronel Everhart, o comandante rebelde, quer que ela diga ao mundo? Se ela lutar, o Ghuraba irá matar sua irm?zinha, mas se ela n?o lutar, eventualmente o Ghuraba irá hackeá-los e bombardear a todos. Tudo o que Eisa tem é um rosário de contas mu?ulmano e o mito pré-Isl?mico que seu pai lhe contou na noite em que ele desapareceu. O destino do mundo, e a seguran?a de sua irm?zinha, est?o na balan?a enquanto Eisa vasculha mitos antigos, sua fé mu?ulmana, e o que realmente aconteceu na noite em que o Ghuraba tomou o controle. "O paralelo que a autora tra?a entre a paisagem atual na Síria e Iraque e um futuro Estados Unidos é inquietante, pois eles retratam as atrocidades dos dias atuais com precis?o inabalável …" —Dale Amidei, Jon's Trilogy Idioma portugues - Portuguese language

Praise for The Girl Who Could Talk to Computers: "Love love love this book! It is perfect for my small neice, who is always building and doing puzzles -- I can't wait for more books from this authors for kids." "This book is a huge hit at home with at my toy store. Kids love the simple, bright pictures. Grown-ups love the intelligently written rhymes that get across the main message and accomplishments of Grace Hopper's innovative life, without boring or confusing the children. There are sixteen, 4-line stanzas, each accompanied by an illustration. The book is perfect for young kids that are just starting to read, and I really like how it is geared towards inspiring girls, yet the drawings and story is not pink and frilly, so it can just as easily be read to boys, too. The main message of the book is that when you use your head "nothing's impossible, you can do it, you bet!""
Durban Dialogues, Then and Now
¥38.62
With a foreword by director Ralph Lawson and introduction by Pranav Joshipura, Associate Professor of English, Mahila College, Gandhinagar, India. A follow-up anthology of three hard-hitting plays to Singh’s successful drama anthology Durban Dialogues, Indian Voice (2013) which is now studied internationally. The plays selected, namely Into the Grey, Shooting and Swing cover topics such as social activism, the death of a friend and discrimination in sport. Described through Singh’s satirical lens, these thought-provoking plays bring us up to date with the challenges of life in post-Apartheid South Africa. They focus particularly on people of Indian origin and their relationships with other South African communities and chart the loss of ideals in the dream of the Rainbow nation. Into the Grey: A harrowing drama depicting the twenty-nine year association between two Durban activists who battle a variety of challenges as their country stumbles towards a bleak future. Shooting: A one-man play about the unchanging paradigm in Durban’s small town communities in the early years of democracy as a football prodigy’s dream is brutally shattered. Swing: A two-hander about the relationship between a mixed-race Durban tennis player and her father/coach as they confront many obstacles in a society which undervalues the girl-child.

A Ward of the Golden Gate
¥40.79
In San Francisco the rainy season had been making itself a reality to the wondering Eastern immigrant. There were short days of drifting clouds and flying sunshine, and long succeeding nights of incessant downpour, when the rain rattled on the thin shingles or drummed on the resounding zinc of pioneer roofs. The shifting sand-dunes on the outskirts were beaten motionless and sodden by the onslaught of consecutive storms; the southeast trades brought the saline breath of the outlying Pacific even to the busy haunts of Commercial and Kearney streets.
