La mejor defensa
Términos como «anticuerpos», «vacuna», «antígeno» o «sistema inmunitario» han pasado a formar parte de nuestras conversaciones habituales. Sin embargo, no siempre somos conscientes de los prodigiosos mecanismos biológicos que designan.

¿Qué distintos elementos conforman el sistema inmunitario? ¿Qué son las enigmáticas células T? ¿Cómo nos protege el microbioma de las enfermedades? ¿Por qué aparece la fiebre? ¿Nuestro modo de vida está reduciendo nuestra capacidad para defendernos de las infecciones?

De las vacunas a las alergias, de los antibióticos a la nefasta influencia del estrés en el sistema inmunitario, Richtel nos interna en la historia de la inmunología y sus increíbles protagonistas de un modo nada convencional, entrelazándolo con los relatos personales de cuatro pacientes con distintos y graves problemas de inmunidad. Un viaje que nos permite ver con más claridad la sobrecogedora importancia del sistema inmunitario en todas las facetas de la salud, tanto físicas como emocionales.

El gatopardo
Una de las cumbres de la literatura del siglo XX. Una novela majestuosa, bellísima y repleta de matices.

Sicilia, 1860. El tiempo parece discurrir con parsimonia en estas tierras, marcadas por los ritmos de una campiña de árida belleza y un orden social inamovible, cuya cúspide ocupa la aristocracia terrateniente. Pero la historia está a punto de dar una sacudida con el desembarco de Garibaldi. Don Fabrizio, príncipe de Salina, hombre imponente, orgulloso, sensual y lúcido, patriarca de una de las familias más poderosas de la isla, contempla impertérrito estos tiempos convulsos que acaso supongan el hundimiento de su mundo o tal vez traigan cambios que en realidad permitirán que todo siga igual. Mientras tanto, su impetuoso sobrino Tancredi abraza la causa garibaldina y se enamora de la bella Angelica, hija de un advenedizo social... Recibida en su día con polémica, la única novela de Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa es hoy ya un clásico indiscutible, que recuperamos en una nueva edición que incluye posfacio de Carlo Feltrinelli.

Cell
On October 1, God is in His heaven, the stock market stands at 10,140, most of the planes are on time, and graphic artist Clayton Riddell is visiting Boston, having just landed a deal that might finally enable him to make art instead of teaching it. But all those good feelings about the future change in a moment thanks to a devastating phenomenon that will come to be known as The Pulse.

The delivery method is a cell phone—everyone’s cell phone. Now Clay and the few desperate survivors who join him suddenly find themselves in the pitch-black night of civilization’s darkest age, surrounded by chaos, carnage, and a relentless human horde that has been reduced to its basest nature...and then begins to evolve.

There’s really no escaping this nightmare. But for Clay, an arrow points the way home to his family in Maine, and as he and his fellow refugees make their harrowing journey north, they begin to see the crude signs confirming their direction. A promise of a safe haven, perhaps, or quite possibly the deadliest trap of all…

Teen Titans: Beast Boy Loves Raven
From #1 New York Times bestselling author KAMI GARCIA (Beautiful Creatures) and artist GABRIEL PICOLO, the creative duo behind the New York Times bestselling graphic novel Teen Titans: Raven, comes the romantic meetup we have all been waiting for!

It seems like years, but it's only been a few days since Raven Roth recovered her memories; trapped her demon father, Trigon, in her amulet; and had her heart broken for the first time. But she doesn't have time to think about the past...she has to focus on finding a way to get rid of Trigon for good.

Garfield Logan still can't believe he has powers that allow him to change into different animals, but the price of knowing that his parents kept this secret hidden from him just feels too high. And what's more, his difficulty controlling these abilities could have unexpected consequences.

Both are seeking answers from the one person who seems to have them all figured out: Slade Wilson.

When their paths converge in Nashville, Raven and Gar can't help but feel a connection, despite the secrets they both try to hide. It will take a great amount of trust and courage to overcome the wounds of their pasts. But can they find acceptance for the darkest parts of themselves? Or maybe even love?

Never
The new must-read epic from master storyteller Ken Follett: more than a thriller, it’s an action-packed, globe-spanning drama set in the present day.

“A compelling story, and only too realistic.” —Lawrence H. Summers, former U.S. Treasury Secretary

“Every catastrophe begins with a little problem that doesn’t get fixed.” So says Pauline Green, president of the United States, in Follett’s nerve-racking drama of international tension.

A shrinking oasis in the Sahara Desert; a stolen US Army drone; an uninhabited Japanese island; and one country’s secret stash of deadly chemical poisons: all these play roles in a relentlessly escalating crisis.

Struggling to prevent the outbreak of world war are a young woman intelligence officer; a spy working undercover with jihadists; a brilliant Chinese spymaster; and Pauline herself, beleaguered by a populist rival for the next president election.

Never is an extraordinary novel, full of heroines and villains, false prophets and elite warriors, jaded politicians and opportunistic revolutionaries. It brims with cautionary wisdom for our times, and delivers a visceral, heart-pounding read that transports readers to the brink of the unimaginable.

El andar del lobo
Dice Francisco Pérez de Antón que «El andar del lobo es la dramática biografía de Wolfgang, un nazi sin apellido, y de su viaje vital al corazón de las tinieblas. Desde su adolescencia en la Alemania hitleriana hasta su refugio y muerte en Asunción del Paraguay, Wolfgang hallará la justificación de su vida y de sus crímenes en el viejo aforismo latino, según el cual el hombre es un lobo para el hombre. El genocidio nazi, asegura, no fue tan diferente a otras matanzas parecidas de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. La razón histórica absuelve al viejo lobo de todo juicio moral hasta el día en que, ya en el otoño de su vida, sucumbe a los dictados del amor, una emoción a su juicio incapaz de servir a una causa superior como la suya. Utilizando el panegírico ideológico y la apología del crimen como recursos para provocar el rechazo, Carlos Mateo Balmelli escribió una deslumbrante reflexión sobre la violencia y el mal, siempre latentes en el corazón humano. Un libro para leer y releer, una obra densa y profunda de un maestro de la prosa».

What happened to you
Our earliest experiences shape our lives far down the road, and What Happened to You? provides powerful scientific and emotional insights into the behavioral patterns so many of us struggle to understand.

“Through this lens we can build a renewed sense of personal self-worth and ultimately recalibrate our responses to circumstances, situations, and relationships. It is, in other words, the key to reshaping our very lives.”―Oprah Winfrey

This book is going to change the way you see your life.

Have you ever wondered "Why did I do that?" or "Why can't I just control my behavior?" Others may judge our reactions and think, "What's wrong with that person?" When questioning our emotions, it's easy to place the blame on ourselves; holding ourselves and those around us to an impossible standard. It's time we started asking a different question.

Through deeply personal conversations, Oprah Winfrey and renowned brain and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry offer a groundbreaking and profound shift from asking “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?”

Here, Winfrey shares stories from her own past, understanding through experience the vulnerability that comes from facing trauma and adversity at a young age. In conversation throughout the book, she and Dr. Perry focus on understanding people, behavior, and ourselves. It’s a subtle but profound shift in our approach to trauma, and it’s one that allows us to understand our pasts in order to clear a path to our future―opening the door to resilience and healing in a proven, powerful way.

The summer house
When seven murder victims are found in a small town, the homicide investigation shakes a small-town sheriff to her core in James Patterson's tense thriller.

Once a luxurious southern getaway on a rustic lake, then reduced to a dilapidated crash pad, the Summer House is now the grisly scene of a nighttime mass murder. Eyewitnesses point to four Army Rangers—known as the Night Ninjas—recently returned from Afghanistan.

To ensure that justice is done, the Army sends Major Jeremiah Cook, a veteran and former NYPD cop, to investigate. But the major and his elite team arrive in sweltering Georgia with no idea their grim jobs will be made exponentially more challenging by local law enforcement, who resists the Army's intrusion and stonewall them at every turn.

As Cook and his squad struggle to uncover the truth behind the condemning evidence, the pieces just won't fit—and forces are rallying to make certain damning secrets die alongside the victims in the murder house. With his own people in the cross-hairs, Cook takes a desperate gamble to find answers—even if it means returning to a hell of his own worst nightmares . . .

Archer's Voice
I wanted to lose myself in the small town of Pelion, Maine. To forget everything I had left behind. The sound of rain. The blood. The coldness of a gun against my skin. For six months, each breath has been a reminder that I survived -- and my dad didn't. I'm almost safe again. But the moment I meet Archer Hale, my entire world tilts on its axis . . . and never rights itself again.

Until I trespass into his strange, silent, and isolated world, Archer communicates with no one. Yet in his whiskey-colored eyes, something intangible happens between us. There's so much more to him than just his beauty, his presence, or the ways his hands communicate with me. On me. But this town is mired in secrets and betrayals, and Archer is the explosive center of it all.

So much passion. And so much hurt. But it's only in Archer's silence that we might just find what we need to heal . . . and live.
