El Jarama inaugura una nueva época de la narrativa española incorporando a una historia de apariencia realista una técnica absolutamente realista. Once amigos madrileños deciden pasar un caluroso domingo de agosto a orillas del (More) Jarama. A partir de ahí la acción se desarrolla simultáneamente en la taberna de Mauricio —donde los habituales parroquianos beben, discuten y juegan a las cartas— y en una arboleda a orillas del río en la que se instalan los excursionistas. Durante dieciséis horas se suceden los baños, los escozores provocados por el sol, las paellas, los primeros escarceos eróticos y el resquemor ante el tiempo que huye haciendo inminente la amenaza del lunes. Al acabar el día, un acontecimiento inesperado colma la jornada de honda poesía y dota a la novela de una extraña grandeza.
En esta obra el autor revela un profundo y minucioso conocimiento tanto de la realidad física en donde se desarrolla la acción como del espíritu de cuantos personajes aparecen en ella. A estas cualidades une un diálogo que tal vez sea el más eficaz y directo que ha producido la novela española desde hace muchos años. A la meticulosa observación de los hechos y personajes se une un gran encanto poético. Como reconocimiento de todos estos méritos excepcionales, se le otorgó el Premio de la Crítica 1957.

It is April 1964 and one week before Hitler’s 75th birthday. Xavier March, a detective of the Kriminalpolizei, is called out to investigate the discovery of a dead body in a lake near Berlin’s most prestigious suburb. As March (More) discovers the identity of the body, he uncovers signs of a conspiracy that could go to the very top of the German Reich. And, with the Gestapo just one step behind, March, together with an American journalist, is caught up in a race to discover and reveal the truth – a truth that has already killed, a truth that could topple governments, a truth that will change history.

Le imprese militari di cento straordinari generali
Cento uomini che si sono elevati al di sopra della massa in forza del loro coraggio, della loro ambizione, della determinazione e della mancanza di scrupoli, per conseguire (More) obiettivi come la conquista o la salvezza di un impero, l’indipendenza del proprio Paese, o il semplice ricordo dei posteri. Andrea Frediani passa in rassegna in modo esauriente e accurato cento personaggi, di ogni epoca e di ogni continente, in Oriente e in Occidente, che hanno fatto la storia dell’umanità con le loro gesta militari: dal primo conquistatore di cui si abbia notizia, Sargon di Akkad, ai grandi comandanti della seconda guerra mondiale, passando per faraoni, imperatori romani, condottieri medievali, capitani di ventura rinascimentali, samurai, nomadi delle steppe asiatiche, ammiragli, leader tribali, capi indiani, generali e sovrani dell’età moderna, con un’appendice sui condottieri contemporanei. Di ciascuno di essi, l’autore racconta la carriera e le campagne, aggiungendo una valutazione sulle capacità tattiche, strategiche, logistiche e di leadership, una descrizione della battaglia più celebre, una sintetica bibliografia e una cartina con lo scacchiere operativo.

Este libro trata sobre el modo de mandar, porque es ciencia que también se (More) aprende. El autor ofrece nueve puntos que todo directivo debe tener en cuenta al gobernar.

Throughout her studies, Ceony Twill has harbored a secret, one she’s kept from even her mentor, Emery Thane. She’s discovered how to practice forms of magic other than her own—an ability long thought impossible.
While all seems (More) set for Ceony to complete her apprenticeship and pass her final magician’s exam, life quickly becomes complicated. To avoid favoritism, Emery sends her to another paper magician for testing—a Folder who despises Emery and cares even less for his apprentice. To make matters worse, a murderous criminal from Ceony’s past escapes imprisonment. Now she must track the power-hungry convict across England before he can take his revenge. With her life and loved ones hanging in the balance, Ceony must face a criminal who wields the one magic that she does not, and it may prove more powerful than all her skills combined.
The whimsical and captivating follow-up to The Paper Magician and The Glass Magician, The Master Magician will enchant readers of all ages.

A Study in Scarlet, a short novel published in 1887, was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s first Sherlock Holmes story. At the beginning of the book, Dr. Watson meets the detective for the first time and we ride along with them to the (More) scene of a murder. The crime baffles the Scotland Yard detectives, but of course Holmes solves it easily. In the second half of the story, the scene shifts to Utah as we learn the murderer’s history. The action returns to London in the last two chapters. In his first adventure, Holmes demonstrates many of the traits for which he later became well known: meticulous study of a crime scene, brilliant deductive reasoning, aptitude for chemistry and music, and the somewhat annoying habit of withholding crucial facts from Watson (and consequently the reader) until the conclusion of the case.
