The well-known and very popular Catholic couple, Scott and Kimberly Hahn, have been constantly travelling and speaking all over North America for the last few years about their conversion to the Catholic Church. Now these two (More) outstanding Catholic apologists tell in their own words about the incredible spiritual journey that led them to embrace Catholicism.
Scott Hahn was a Presbyterian minister, the top student in his seminary class, a brilliant Scripture scholar, and militantly anti-Catholic … until he reluctantly began to discover that his “enemy” had all the right answers. Kimberly, also a top-notch theology student in the seminary, is the daughter of a well-known Protestant minister, and went through a tremendous “dark night of the soul” after Scott converted to Catholicism.
Their conversion story and love for the Church has captured the hearts and minds of thousands of lukewarm Catholics and brought them back into an active participation in the Church. They have also influenced countless conversions to Catholicism among their friends and others who have heard their powerful testimony.
Written with simplicity, charity, grace and wit, the Hahns’ deep love and knowledge of Christ and of Scripture is evident and contagious throughout their story. Their love of truth and of neighbour is equally evident, and their theological focus on the great importance of the family, both biological and spiritual, will be a source of inspiration for all readers.

The Scorch Trials is the second book—preceded by the 2009 novel The Maze Runner—in a young-adult dystopian science fiction trilogy by James Dashner. With The Death Cure (2011) finish the trilogy.
Thomas and the other Gladers have (More) escaped the maze and are put into a dormitory. The next day, the Gladers are in another dormitory, and people called Cranks are moaning and screaming through the windows of the room. The Gladers leave the room, only to find dead bodies hanging from the ceiling, and later find that Teresa, the only girl in their group, has gone missing. Thomas tries to find her with his friends Minho and Newt; instead, they find a boy named Aris, who says that he was in another Maze before with all girls, referred to as Group B, and woke here. The Gladers discover they are all marked with tattoos and titles: Minho is “the Leader,” Newt “the Glue,” and Thomas “To Be Killed By Group B.”

Bathsheba Everdene, una muchacha con una sonrisa «de las que sugieren que los corazones son cosas que se pierden y se ganan», hereda, a la muerte de su tío, la mayor granja del pueblo de Weatherbury. Tres hombres rondan a esta (More) joven propietaria, «fuerte e independiente», que sin duda está en situación de elegir: el pastor Gabriel Oak, empleado suyo tras un desafortunado intento de independizarse, y que padece con silencioso aplomo su diferencia de posición; el hacendado Boldwood, un rico y maduro solterón, algo oscuro y poco delicado, pero capaz de amar con una intensidad imprevisible; y el sargento Francis Troy, apuesto, acostumbrado a los favores del mundo, conquistador. Bathsheba puede elegir, pues, y elige… aunque en poco tiempo habrá de descubrir que ha renunciado «a la sencillez de su vida de soltera para convertirse en la humilde mitad de un indiferente todo matrimonial».
Lejos del mundanal ruido (1874) no es sólo un formidable retrato de una heroína victoriana que sabe que «es difícil para una mujer definir sus sentimientos en un lenguaje creado principalmente por el hombre para expresar los suyos». Es también un fresco pastoril de resonancias shakespeareanas, donde el paisaje y la historia, la naturaleza y la cultura, mantienen un diálogo tenso y complejo, lleno de pequeñas sutilezas e ironías. Thomas Hardy alcanzó con esta novela su primer gran éxito, y también la que quizá sea la más amable de sus obras maestras.

Out of the Easy is a 2013 novel by Ruta Sepetys. It is her second published novel. It features Josie Moraine, a young woman in the 1950s French Quarter of New Orleans who struggles to escape her family and become the author of her (More) own destiny. The novel became a New York Times bestseller and was chosen as an Editor’s Choice in the New York Times on February 15, 2013.
Sepetys has said that Out of the Easy was born from her discovery of the biography The Last Madam: A Life in the New Orleans Underworld and her interest in post-war America, which, contrary to her expectations, was full of “suffering and secrets.” She also attributes her interest in New Orleans to a gift of vintage opera glasses, which still had the old owner’s name engraved, enabling her to find out who the original owner was. As with all her books, Sepetys undertook several research trips, which lead her to discover news articles about “tourists who met an untimely end”; she later worked this into the novel.

Dalle grandi imprese di Marengo, Ulma, Austerlitz, Jena, Friedland e Wagram alle drammatiche disfatte in Russia, a Lipsia e a Waterloo.
Se la guerra è un’arte, Napoleone è stato uno dei massimi artisti della storia dell’umanità. (More) La sua mente geniale ha prodotto piani strategici e tattici di livello ineguagliabile, sia nella fase di ascesa, quando la sua esperienza era ancora acerba, sia in quella del declino, nonostante il peso di una vita incredibilmente intensa. Questo libro racconta la straordinaria parabola di un piccolo ufficiale di artiglieria che divenne imperatore e dominatore d’Europa, attraverso le sue più stupefacenti gesta: dalle sconfitte inflitte all’esercito austriaco con un modesto e improvvisato esercito durante la prima campagna d’Italia, alle grandi imprese di Marengo, Ulma, Austerlitz, Jena, Friedland e Wagram, fino alle drammatiche disfatte in Russia, a Lipsia e a Waterloo. Ma narra anche gli eventi minori e meno conosciuti, nei quali il suo talento militare ebbe ugualmente modo di mettersi in mostra, come le battaglie della guerra di Spagna e quelle per la difesa della Francia che precedettero la sua abdicazione.

La historia de un pueblo que supo mezclar democracia y esclavitud, conocimiento y mitología,belleza y violencia, convirtiéndose así en la cuna de la civilización occidental.
En la historia de Grecia aparecen infinidad de factores (More) que influyen en la creación de una cultura que sienta las bases de todas las culturas occidentales posteriores. Uno no podría decir si fue primero la democracia de Pericles que elevó a Atenas a las cimas políticas de la época, o los sistemas filosóficos que corrieron, a veces enfrentados, con la democracia; tampoco podría saberse si la perspectiva áurea que marca las dimensiones de los edificios más majestuosos de la época, es anterior a los avances matemáticos del pitagorismo. Breve Historia de la Antigua Grecia nos presenta una perspectiva total de la cultura helena y nos ayuda de este modo a dar explicación a esta sociedad compleja que arrancó los cánones estéticos que imperarían durante siglos, que dieron arranque a las matemáticas y a la filosofía, que sacrificaban animales a sus dioses o que lucharon en numerosas guerras entre las distintas polis.
La historia de la Grecia clásica, comienza en Creta, es donde según la mitología vive Zeus, allí se lleva a Europa, una princesa persa, para que engendre a una raza de hombres que reinarán sobre los demás como reyes. Este el inicio de un libro en el que Dionisio Mínguez intenta mostrarnos, de un modo muy divulgativo los avatares históricos de Grecia desde su creación hasta la figura de Alejandro Magno. Pero no pretende el libro relatar una serie de acontecimientos y de datos arqueológicos, sino que nos explica la relación de la historia, la mitología, la filosofía, los cánones artísticos, la política… en una visión amplia y detallada de la vida de este pueblo tan relevante para la historia mundial.

“Isabel San Sebastián es una intelectual ojo avizor a su tiempo, una periodista sagaz, una escritora .excelente y, ahora, una novelista imaginativa y sorprendente.” Luis María Anson
Corre el año 787 y los musulmanes dominan todos (More) los territorios hispánicos. La joven Alana, hija de una jefa del clan astur y un guerrero godo, es arrebatada de su castro para formar parte del Tributo de las Cien Doncellas: un racimo de muchachas que cada año entrega el príncipe Mauregato al emir cordobés, en señal de sumisión, para que formen parte de su harén.
Así se despliega una trama cuajada de aventuras, pasión y heroísmo que tendrá como escenario Pravia, capital de los reyes holgazanes, la antigua corte visigoda de Toledo, Córdoba y su embrujo andalusí, Vasconia, Aquisgrán, y, como telón de fondo, siempre ese reino de brumas que es Asturias en sus primeros pasos hacia la Reconquista. Y una galería de personajes legendarios en la que confluyen Abd al-Rahman I, Carlomagno, Adosinda, el Beato de Liébana, Alfonso el Casto e incluso Santiago Apóstol.
Isabel San Sebastián, con pulso narrativo, nos relata en “La Visigoda”, su primera novela, una emocionante página de la historia de España llena de traiciones, herejías, batallas y un apasionante romance cuyos protagonistas desafían su destino. Una pincelada de ese tiempo en que la gloria y el horror se daban la mano.
