PRH Grupo Editorial Homo Irrealis / Homo Irrealis: The Would-Be Man Who Might Have Been: Essays A1068479944
"ÅCuâanto de nosotros se borra con el paso del tiempo? ÅCuâanto se queda en los lugares amados? ÅPuede uno regresar a un sitio que nunca existiâo mâas allâa de su mente? En Homo irrealis, Andrâe Aciman nos invita a acompaänarlo al territorio de sus recuerdos en un viaje por lugares queridos como Alejandrâia, Roma, Parâis, San Petersburgo o Nueva York, habitados por las presencias fantasmales de artistas y escritores admirados. De la mano de Proust, Freud, Cavafis, Pessoa, Rohmer, Sebald y muchos mâas, el autor explora el tiempo irrealis: el del hombre que podrâia haber sido y no fue, todo lo que podrâia haber pasado y no pasâo, pero que aâun podrâia pasar y estâa en un limbo entre la fantasâia y la realidad. Unas memorias en forma de ensayos en las que el autor de Lejos de Egipto y de Llâamame por tu nombre se enfrenta al pasado y al presente, al anhelo y al deseo, en un intento de comprender la veta nostâalgica que se cierne sobre su persona y sobre casi toda su obra."--Amazon.com.

In this eerie and atmospheric novel, New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Neal Shusterman explores questions of life, death, and what might lie in between. Nick and Allie don’t survive the car accident—and their souls don’t exactly get where they’re supposed to go. Instead, they’re caught halfway between life and death, in a sort of limbo known as Everlost: a shadow of the living world, filled with all the things and places that no longer exist. It’s a magical, yet dangerous, place where bands of lost kids run wild and anyone who stands in the same place too long sinks to the center of the Earth. When they find Mary, the self-proclaimed queen of lost souls, Nick feels like he’s found a home, but Allie isn’t satisfied spending eternity between worlds. Against all warnings, Allie begins learning the “Criminal Art” of haunting, and ventures into dangerous territory, where a monster called the McGill threatens all the souls of Everlost.
The Day May Break, photographed in Zimbabwe and Kenya in late 2020, is the first part of a global series portraying people and animals that have been impacted by environmental degradation and destruction. The people in the photos were all affected by climate change, displaced by cyclones and years-long droughts. Photographed at five sanctuaries, the animals were rescues that can never be re-wilded. As a result, it was safe for human strangers to be close to them, photographed so close to them, within the same frame. The fog on location is the unifying visual, as we increasingly find ourselves in a kind of limbo, a once-recognizable world now fading from view. However, in spite of their loss, these people and animals are the survivors. And therein lies possibility and hope. NICK BRANDT (*1964) studied film and painting at St. Martin’s in London. He turned to photography in 2001 with his trilogy On This Earth, A Shadow Falls, Across the Ravage Land. His more recent bodies of work / books are Inherit the Dust (2016) and This Empty World (2019). He lives in California.
Quando vengono confinate nel limbo della sezione Delitti insoluti della questura di Cagliari, le ispettrici Mara Rais ed Eva Croce non sanno ancora quanto può essere feroce l'ossessione per i cold case, i casi senza soluzione. Entrambe, però, hanno imparato quanto può essere dura la vita: Mara non dimentica l'ingiustizia subita del trasferimento punitivo; Eva, invece, vuole solo dimenticare la tragedia che l'ha spinta a lasciare Milano e sbarcare in Sardegna con un biglietto di sola andata. L'irruenza e l'istinto della prima e l'acume e il dolore della seconda formano una miscela esplosiva che le porterà a indagare su una serie di omicidi di giovani donne accaduti parecchi anni prima, il giorno dei morti, in alcuni siti nuragici dell'isola. Ma quando il killer torna a colpire, da fredda, la pista diventa all'improvviso rovente. Così Eva e Mara dovranno misurarsi con i rituali di un culto antico e selvaggio, e ingaggiare un duello mortale con i propri demoni. Interrogando il silenzio inscalfibile che avvolge la sua Sardegna, Piergiorgio Pulixi spinge il noir oltre se stesso, guidando il lettore nel mistero cupo di un'isola mai così sconosciuta.

Macmillan Education Elt Turkey and the European Union A1035726973
This book by two leading experts provides a comprehensive analysis of Turkey's relationship with the European Union, set in its regional and international context. It provides three analytical lenses through which the relationship might be understood – Turkey as an enlargement country, as an EU neighbour and as a global partner – and unpacks the implications of each. Turkey and the European Union focuses on the five pillars that help define the relationship: economics, migration, security, democracy and human rights, and culture and identity. It shows how the differing perspectives on Turkey's role can influence events and developments in these areas, and it traces the profound fluctuations in relations, from the Association Agreement of 1963, to the candidacy for full membership of 1999, to the limbo of today. Turkey continues to be a critically important country for the European Union. The relationship has consequences that are both ideational, embedded in history, politics, identity and culture, and material, relating to economics, energy and security. In examining this complex relationship, this book addresses a key issue for Europe's future, and does so in a fashion that is both sophisticated and accessible.

Harper Voyager US The Hound of Justice A1052807514
It’s been two months since Dr. Janet Watson accepted an offer from Georgetown University Hospital. The training for her new high-tech arm is taking longer than expected, however, leaving her in limbo. Meanwhile, her brilliant friend and compatriot, Sara Holmes, has been placed on leave—punishment for going rogue during their previous adventure. After an extremist faction called the Brotherhood of Redemption launches a failed assassination attempt on the president that causes mass destruction, Holmes, who is now operating in the shadows, takes on the task of investigating the Brotherhood. Holmes is making progress when she abruptly disappears. When Watson receives a mysterious message from Holmes’s cousin Micha that indicates that Sara Holmes’s disappearance might be connected to the Brotherhood and to Adler Industries, Watson and Micha go on a high-stakes mission to reunite with Holmes once more. Together, Watson, Holmes, and Micha embark on a thrilling, action-packed journey through the deep South to clear Holmes’s name, thwart the Brotherhood’s next move, and most important, bring their nemesis to justice for the atrocities she’s committed in the New Civil War.

La mejor y más divertida novela de detectives de Eduardo Mendoza hasta la fecha. Barcelona, primavera de 2022. Los miembros de una organización gubernamental secreta se enfrentan a la peligrosísima investigación de tres casos que tal vez estén relacionados entre sí, o tal vez no: la aparición de un cuerpo sin vida en un hotel de las Ramblas, la desaparición de un millonario británico en su yate y las singulares finanzas de Conservas Fernández. Creada en pleno franquismo y perdida en el limbo de la burocracia institucional del sistema democrático, la Organización sobrevive con apuros económicos y en los límites de la ley, con una reducida plantilla de personajes heterogéneos, extravagantes y mal avenidos. Entre el suspense y la carcajada, el lector deberá unirse a este disparatado grupo si quiere resolver los tres enigmas de este apasionante rompecabezas. Eduardo Mendoza entrega su mejor y más divertida aventura hasta la fecha. Y lo hace con nueve agentes secretos en una novela de detectives que actualiza los clásicos del género, y en la que el lector encontrará la inconfundible voz narrativa, el brillante sentido del humor, la sátira social y la comedia de enredo que caracterizan a uno de los mejores autores de la lengua española.
Tatijana of the Dragonseekers spent centuries encased in ice with her sister, trapped in limbo between life and death, never speaking to a soul other than those who tormented her. Now, she has been freed from her frozen prison by an unknown descendent. Awakened in human form, Tatijana yearns to explore the modern world in which she now lives-a world with more mysteries than she is prepared for. Fenris Dalka has returned to the Carpathian Mountains after a long absence to be with his brother. He is scarred by centuries of battle, and every hard-won victory. But the real reason for his return home could prove deadly if discovered by the wrong man-or woman. Upon his arrival, he is compelled by a beautiful and enigmatic stranger who carries the scent of fresh earth, of forest, of the night itself. In time Tatijana and Fenris will discover all that unites them-their secrets and pasts, their predators, and the hot flush of passion that stirs their souls. Yet just as surely, seduced into the silvery darkness of a full-moon night, they'll also discover everything ancient and evil that exists to destroy them.

Fitzcarraldo Editions Big Kiss, Bye-Bye A1074218489
The things that hold life in place have been lifted off and put away. Uprooted by circumstance from city to deep countryside, a woman lives in temporary limbo, visited by memories of all she's left behind. The most insistent are those of Xavier, who has always been certain he knows her better than anyone, better than she knows herself. Xavier, whom she still loves but no longer desires, a displacement he has been unable to accept. An unexpected letter from an old acquaintance brings back a torrent of others she's loved or wanted. Each has been a match and a mismatch, a liberation and a threat to her very sense of self. The ephemera left by their passage - a spilled coffee, an unwanted bouquet, a mind-blowing kiss - make up a cabinet of curiosity she inventories, trying to divine the essence of intimacy. What does it mean to connect with another person? What impels us to touch someone, to be touched by them, to stay in touch? How do we let them go? In yet another tour de force of fiction, Claire-Louise Bennett explores the mystery of how people come into and go out of our lives, leaving us forever in their grasp.
“A magical writer—one of the greatest of the twentieth century.” —Margaret Atwood “African literature is incomplete and unthinkable without the works of Chinua Achebe.” —Toni Morrison A classic story of moral struggle in an age of turbulent social change and the final book in Chinua Achebe’s The African Trilogy When Obi Okonkwo, grandson of Okonkwo, the main character in Things Fall Apart returns to Nigeria from England in the 1950s, his foreign education separates him from his African roots. No Longer at Ease, the third and concluding novel in Chinua Achebe’s The African Trilogy, depicts the uncertainties that beset the nation of Nigeria, as independence from colonial rule loomed near. In Obi Okonkwo’s experiences, the ambiguities, pitfalls, and temptations of a rapidly evolving society are revealed. He is part of a ruling Nigerian elite whose corruption he finds repugnant. His fate, however, overtakes him as he finds himself trapped between the expectation of his family, his village—both representations of the traditional world of his ancestors—and the colonial world. A story of a man lost in cultural limbo, and a nation entering a new age of disillusionment, No Longer at Ease is a powerful metaphor for his generation of young Nigerians.
