He went to war to forget her. He returned with a title... and an order to marry. When Fitzwilliam Darcy disappeared from society after Lydia Bennet’s scandalous elopement, the ton offered many explanations—none of them close to the truth. For nearly two years, Darcy served the Crown in secret during the war against Napoleon—his wit and will tested in shadowed courts and enemy strongholds. Now returned to England, he carries more than secrets: he bears a new title—Earl of Pemberley—bestowed by the Prince Regent himself. But elevation comes at a cost. With rank comes duty. And the ...

The Sea Was Calm is a novel composed of the stories of seven characters who return in search of those marked days that, inadvertently, dramatically changed the course of their lives. As these intertwining stories suggest, we all have a day marked by our own destiny, and therefore, beyond the future, the past always awaits us. "Yes, I would like to repeat what I always say, that what matters is the future, that everything moves toward tomorrow. But the only truth is that our ultimate future is the past. We are heading there, inexorably. Until the light goes out, that mysterious light."

A collection of poems by the late Oxford poet, James Balloch, who died in 2018.James Alan Balloch – ‘Jim’ to his friends – was an extraordinary man, delightful, unpretentious, understated, a thinker. He was clever, articulate, creative, sensitive, hardworking, warm, knowing, but with a non-judgemental sense of humour. He had an unconscious natural ability in becoming a friend to anyone; he was sociable but often alone. Jim was born on 20 June 1937 in Hornchurch, the London Borough of Havering, before moving to Coventry at a young age and finally settling in Oxford, detached from any...

Previo al enorme éxito internacional de sus libros, antes de que su nombre apareciera en el horizonte de lo que cierta crítica ahora llama “literatura mundial”, Roberto Bolaño perpetraba pequeños actos de subversión simbólica. Tras presenciar uno de éstos en la feria del libro de París en 2003, donde Bolaño pasaba como anónimo entre varios editores franceses, Oswaldo Zavala — autor de La guerra en las palabras — decidió hacer una exploración de la obra del autor chileno como un gran proyecto literario, donde lo “marginal” se oponía a la producción cultural “hegemónica”.

I am Blooded, and this is my creed. I am warrior, and this is my sword. I am shadow, and this is my cloak. I am darkness, bringer of light. The whisper in the wind. The order in the chaos.

Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital and greatest city in the New World, crumbles and burns under the weight of the Spanish onslaught.
