En esta novela, Mario Escobar construye un relato que equilibra y distingue perfectamente los hechos de la pura invención. Personajes como Pablo Iglesias, Miguel de Unamuno, Ángel Ganivet, Roosevelt o el periodista Winston Churchill se mezclan con los protagonistas y con una misteriosa secta que tiene interés en desatar una guerra entre un imperio en decadencia y otro emergente que, gracias a su victoria, se hará con la hegemonía mundial. Una novela que en el año de su publicación (2021) fue elegida como la segunda novela más recomendable para leer en verano por los lectores del concurso de Casa del Libro. Una lucha entre los valores democráticos de verdad y libertad y los intereses secretos que desembocarán en un atentado que cambiará la faz del mundo. Licenciado en Historia y Diplomado en Estudios Avanzados en la especialidad de Historia Moderna, Mario Escobar (1971-) ha escrito numerosos artículos y libros sobre la Inquisición, la Reforma Protestante y las sectas religiosas. Trabaja como director ejecutivo de una ONG y es director de la revista Nueva Historia para el Debate, colaborando como columnista en distintas publicaciones. Apasionado por la historia y sus enigmas ha estudiado en profundidad la Historia de la Iglesia, los distintos grupos sectarios que han luchado en su seno, el descubrimiento y colonización de América; especializándose en la vida de personajes heterodoxos españoles y americanos. Cuenta con más de 30 títulos publicados que han visto su obra traducida a una veintena de idiomas. Sus novelas y ensayos ya han conquistado a cientos de miles de lectores. 'Es, a fin de cuentas, una novela entretenida apta para leer este verano y es la oportunidad para interesarse por el enigma Maine. Recordemos que ha sido la segunda más votada por los lectores en el concurso de Casa del Libro a mejor novela del verano.' (eb Anika entre libros) 'En Conspiración Maine se mezclan aires con olor clásico y actual. El cuarteto protagonista y sus relaciones, su canto a la lealtad y a la verdad bien podría estar inspirados en westerns clásicos o películas de aventuras de los años dorados de Hollywood'. (Blog Nihil Obstat) 'La búsqueda de la verdad detrás de los bombardeos sirve de espita para desarrollar una trama de acción y conjuras, heroicidades y traiciones, que nos lleva por Lima, Madrid, Washington, Riga, New Haven, las islas caribeñas, las aguas del Atlántico' (Revista Qué leer)

Not even the entreaties of her new husband—a sensitive artist who fears for her safety—can dissuade her from doing her part as a proud daughter of Russia. After years of arduous training, Katya is assigned to the 588th Night Bomber Regiment—one of the only Soviet air units composed entirely of women.

When the smoke of war clears, nothing will ever be the same—and one of Russia’s most decorated military heroines will face the most agonizing choice of all.

A. Chakraborty perfect for fans of The Golem and the Jinni, The Grace of Kings, and Uprooted, in which the future of a magical Middle Eastern kingdom rests in the hands of a clever and defiant young con artist with miraculous healing gifts. Nahri has never believed in magic. Certainly, she has power; on the streets of eighteenth-century Cairo, she’s a con woman of unsurpassed talent. But she knows better than anyone that the trades she uses to get by—palm readings, zars, and a mysterious gift for healing—are all tricks, both the means to the delightful end of swindling Ottoman nobles and a reliable way to survive.  But when Nahri accidentally summons Dara, an equally sly, darkly mysterious djinn warrior, to her side during one of her cons, she’s forced to reconsider her beliefs. For Dara tells Nahri an extraordinary tale: across hot, windswept sands teeming with creatures of fire and rivers where the mythical marid sleep, past ruins of once-magnificent human metropolises and mountains where the circling birds of prey are more than what they seem, lies Daevabad, the legendary city of brass—a city to which Nahri is irrevocably bound. In Daevabad, within gilded brass walls laced with enchantments and behind the six gates of the six djinn tribes, old resentments run deep. And when Nahri decides to enter this world, her arrival threatens to ignite a war that has been simmering for centuries.  Spurning Dara’s warning of the treachery surrounding her, she embarks on a hesitant friendship with Alizayd, an idealistic prince who dreams of revolutionizing his father’s corrupt regime. All too soon, Nahri learns that true power is fierce and brutal. That magic cannot shield her from the dangerous web of court politics. That even the cleverest of schemes can have deadly consequences.  After all, there is a reason they say to be careful what you wish for . . . This audiobook includes an episode of the Book Club Girl Podcast, featuring an interview with S. A. Chakraborty about The City of Brass.

Haley, featuring Commander Bliven Putnam, chronicling the build up to the biggest military conflict between the United States and Britain after the Revolution—the War of 1812. At the opening of the War of 1812, the British control the most powerful navy on earth, and Americans are again victims of piracy. Bliven Putnam, late of the Battle of Tripoli, is dispatched to Charleston to outfit and take command of a new 20-gun brig, the USS Tempest. Later, aboard the Constitution, he sails into the furious early fighting of the war. Prowling the South Atlantic in the Tempest, Bliven takes prizes and disrupts British merchant shipping, until he is overhauled, overmatched, and disastrously defeated by the frigate HMS Java. Its captain proves to be Lord Arthur Kington, whom Bliven had so disastrously met in Naples. On board he also finds his old friend Sam Bandy, one of the Java's pressed American seamen kidnapped into British service. Their whispered plans to foment a mutiny among the captives may see them hang, when the Constitution looms over the horizon for one of the most famous battles of the War of 1812 in a gripping, high-wire conclusion. With exquisite detail and guns-blazing action, A Darker Sea illuminates an unforgettable period in American history.

Title: Mrs. Osmond: A novel Author: John Banville Narrator: Amy Finegan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 3 minutes Release date: November 7, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: From the Man Booker Prize-winning author of The Sea, a dazzling and audacious new novel that extends the story of Isabel Archer, the heroine of Henry James's The Portrait of a Lady, into unexpected territory. Isabel Archer is a young American woman, swept off to Europe in the late nineteenth century by an aunt who hopes to round out the impetuous but naïve girl's experience of the world. When Isabel comes into a large, unexpected inheritance, she is finagled into a marriage with the charming, penniless, and—as Isabel finds out too late—cruel and deceitful Gilbert Osmond, whose connection to a certain Madame Merle is suspiciously intimate. On a trip to England to visit her cousin Ralph Touchett on his deathbed, Isabel is offered a chance to free herself from the marriage, but nonetheless chooses to return to Italy. Banville follows James's story line to this point, but Mrs. Osmond is thoroughly Banville's own: the narrative inventiveness; the lyrical precision and surprise of his language; the layers of emotional and psychological intensity; the subtle, dark humor. And when Isabel arrives in Italy—along with someone else!—the novel takes off in directions that James himself would be thrilled to follow.

Julian St. David, Duke of Haverford, is barely keeping his head above water in a sea of inherited debts. Though he has a long-term plan to restore the family finances, his sister has a much faster solution: host a house party for London's single young ladies and find Julian a wealthy bride. Elizabeth Windham has no interest in marriage, but a recent scandal has forced her hand. As much as she'd rather be reading Shakespeare than husband-hunting, she has to admit she's impressed by Julian's protective instincts, broad shoulders, and, of course, his vast library. As the two spend more time together, their attraction is overwhelming, unexpected... and absolutely impossible. With meddling siblings, the threat of financial ruin, and gossips lurking behind every potted palm, will they find true love or true disaster? 'Smart, sexy, and oh-so-romantic.' -- Mary Balogh 'Grace Burrowes is a romance treasure.' -- Tessa Dare

Junk: A Play by Ayad Akhtar

Title: Junk: A Play Author: Ayad Akhtar Narrator: Michael Crouch Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 43 minutes Release date: November 7, 2017 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3.5 of Total 2 Ratings of Narrator: 4 of Total 1 Genres: Historical Publisher's Summary: From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Disgraced, a fast-paced play that exposes the financial deal making behind the mergers and acquisitions boom of the 1980s. Set in 1985, Junk tells the story of Robert Merkin, resident genius of the upstart investment firm Sacker Lowell. Hailed as 'America's Alchemist,' his proclamation that 'debt is an asset' has propelled him to a dizzying level of success. By orchestrating the takeover of a massive steel manufacturer, Merkin intends to do the 'deal of the decade,' the one that will rewrite all the rules. Working on his broadest canvas to date, Pulitzer Prize winner Ayad Akhtar chronicles the lives of men and women engaged in financial civil war: insatiable investors, threatened workers, killer lawyers, skeptical journalists, and ambitious federal prosecutors. Although it's set 40 years in the past, this is a play about the world we live in right now; a world in which money became the only thing of real value.
