La mano invisible que lo mueve todo, hace de las suyas. Conforme avanza la trama, podemos ver con claridad lo que se oculta detrás de la mente que usa las armas y quién se encuentra, como una tenue sombra, detrás de los acontecimientos triviales, que, en suma, son entramados e intrigas existenciales no menores. Aquella tesis de "nunca terminas de conocer a una persona", cobra sentido en esta historia.En esta novela el lector podrá ver, con claridad, cada fracción y cada arruga que define al perverso protagonista. No hay un cocinero más aterrador, que un hombre cuyo paladar no distingue entre la jalea de fresas silvestres y la sangre que chorrea de una herida recién abierta. Diego Echegoyen Rivera construye un relato íntimo que mezcla la maldad y la astucia, logrando una historia que no pasa desapercibida, para los lectores más experimentados.Con esta segunda entrega de la trilogía McKee, el autor acentúa la apuesta por la psiconovela y la novela negra. Los personajes deambulan en una suerte de lotería macabra, donde pareciera que la partida está echada para que la gane un personaje omnipresente e invisible. Todos son conquistados por aquel extraño que caminaba por la calle, pero que hoy te cocina, se sienta en tu mesa y te amordaza, con la misma naturalidad con la que te saludó por primera vez, cuando le conociste."Sólo el hilo invisible del amor propio salva de la locura. Quienes no se sostienen por ese eslabón, harán uso -o destruirán- sin remordimiento, una y otra vez, la historia e identidades de los demás. Conforme pase el tiempo, sus construcciones artificiales serán caparazones inservibles, los abandonarán e irán en búsqueda de los siguientes..."

About the BookThere are things on this subcontinent-rituals, objects, gestures-that have existed for centuries but are now vulnerable, dying, at the edge of our lives. Extinctions catches them in movement, as they fade, as they set. It looks at them variously, through factual observation, or historical gaze, or a prose poem paying tribute. These are individual memories merged with the memories of a civilisation. Sometimes the two become one. The attempt is not only to look back but also to consider where we are. And so, Extinctions creates an encounter that lights up both the long enduring and the new. Following the ridge of regrets, fate, thoughts that came too late, a future appears, even of the past. Untamed, animate, time becomes many, and landscapes continue to be formed, not naming themselves yet, not conscious of being an island or a continent. On the blackened iron scales in the marketplace, a thousand years equals today.About the AuthorSharmistha Mohanty is the author of three works of prose, Book One, New Life and Five Movements in Praise, and a book of poems, The Gods Came Afterwards. She has also translated a selection of Tagore's fiction, Broken Nest and Other Stories.

Sin pretender vaticinar un posible futuro, Umanzor elabora la temática de esta original novela cuya historia narra los hechos y sucesos cotidianos que se suscitan en una sociedad donde los cánones sexuales que han imperado desde antaño han sufrido un vuelco vertiginoso e impensado en desmedro de la heterosexualidad, la cual es considerada tajantemente como una tendencia anormal y una aberración que es necesario erradicar. Y es en aquel profundo dilema y laberinto existencial, donde el protagonista se ve constantemente asediado por aquellas fuerzas instintivas y totalmente opuestas a los preceptos heterofóbicos que tratan de doblegarlo y que son propugnados por oscuras mentes, poniendo de fondo un no menor y polémico replanteamiento en nuestra actual sociedad cambiante y globalizada y el posible resurgir de una nueva era.

Giulio, giovane manager di successo, è roso dal dubbio e da una forte crisi di identità. Smarrito e ossessionato dal passato, si interroga sui mille volti dell'amore cercando di sondarne gli angoli più reconditi. I dubbi e le emicranie si moltiplicano, e sogni angoscianti preludono la ricerca di un sé smarrito. Durante l'ennesimo viaggio solitario di lavoro, Giulio incontra un anziano clochard suonatore di armonica. I due finiranno per trovarsi faccia a faccia al tavolino di un bar nel pieno della notte oscura. Il vecchio racconterà gli albori di una vita vissuta all'insegna della passione e della ricerca sfrenata dell'amore, ridestando il cuore di Giulio. Intorno ai due protagonisti si staglia un variegato panorama di personaggi che incarnano i mille volti del nostro tempo, un tempo che, oltre a qualsiasi valore e ideale, sembra aver smarrito quella che era la chiave di volta dell'intera civiltà occidentale: l'umanità. La morte aleggia lungo le pagine della storia, ma la speranza di redenzione è lì dietro l'angolo.

Por ensayo y error ya sabemos que los políticos no son la solución, sino parte del problema. Después de muchas iteraciones cualquier investigador ya habría concluido que no son el medicamento que va a curar al mundo. ¿Por qué creemos y utilizamos el método científico y empírico en la ciencia y en los procesos industriales, pero no para la gestión de los Estados? Al igual que no tiene sentido que un padre se compre un yate para disfrutarlo él y lo pague el hijo cuando crezca, tampoco lo tiene que los que ni siquiera han nacido todavía paguen nuestros caprichos del presente. Sin embargo, los Estados no dejan de endeudarse. Sin duda, vivir a costa de nuestros hijos no es más que una muestra de la moral de la sociedad actual. Salimos a la calle para manifestarnos en nombre de muchas banderas, pero no por nuestros hijos. En este libro no solo se intenta explicar las razones por las que los países se endeudan, sino que se plantean alternativas y nuevo modelo que minimiza la actuación de los políticos. Todo ello en base al uso de la tecnologías (blockchain, big data, algoritmia neuronal...), utilizando metodologías de ensayo y error para la economía y aprobación de leyes, eliminando el control y gestión del los políticos y sus ideologías del sistema educativo o de Hacienda (entre otros), permitiendo que únicamente los más inteligentes de la sociedad puedan curar, enseñar o ocupar altos cargos en la política, así como la descentralización de las decisiones importantes en favor de los que más saben. ¡Espero que os guste!
