PREMIO PULITZER DE FICCIÓN 2021 «Al igual que esos antepasados que habitan siempre en las sombras de sus novelas, los personajes que Louise Erdrich ha creado en El vigilante nocturno acompañarán al lector mucho después de haber terminado el libro». New York Journal of Books 1953, Dakota del Norte. Thomas Wazhashk es el vigilante nocturno de la primera fábrica inaugurada cerca de la reserva india de Turtle Mountain. También es un prominente miembro del Consejo Chippewa, desconcertado por un nuevo proyecto de ley que pronto se presentará ante el Congreso. El Gobierno de los Estados Unidos califica la medida como «una emancipación», pero más bien parece restringir aún más la libertad y los derechos de los nativos americanos sobre su tierra, sobre la base de su identidad. Thomas, indignado por esa nueva traición a su pueblo y aunque tenga que enfrentarse a todo Washington D. C., hará lo imposible por combatirla. Por otro lado, y a diferencia de la mayoría de las chicas de la comunidad, Pixie Paranteau no piensa cargar de ninguna manera con un marido y montones de hijos. Bastante tiene ya con su trabajo en la fábrica, ganando apenas lo suficiente para mantener a su madre y a su hermano, por no hablar de su padre, quien solo aparece cuando necesita dinero para seguir bebiendo. Además, Pixie necesita ahorrar cada centavo para llegar a Minnesota y encontrar a Vera, su hermana perdida. Basada en la extraordinaria vida de su abuelo, Louise Erdrich nos entrega en El vigilante nocturno una de sus mejores novelas, una historia de generaciones pasadas y futuras, de preservación y progreso, en la que colisionan los peores y los mejores impulsos de la naturaleza humana, iluminando así las vidas y sueños de todos sus personajes.

<p>"The Picture in the House" is a short story written by H.P. Lovecraft. It was written on December 12, 1920, and first published in the July issue of The National Amateur—which was published in the summer of 1921.</p> <p>While riding on his bicycle in the Miskatonic Valley of rural New England, a genealogist seeks shelter from an approaching storm in an apparently abandoned house, only to find that it is occupied by a "loathsome old, white-bearded, and ragged man," speaking in "an extreme form of Yankee dialect...thought long extinct." The narrator notices that the house is full of antique books, exotic artifacts, and furniture predating the American Revolution. The old man is apparently harmless and ignorant, but shows a disquieting fascination for an engraving in a rare old book, Regnum Congo, and admits to the narrator that it made him hunger for "victuals I couldn't raise nor buy"- presumably human flesh. It is suggested that the old man in the house was murdering men who stumbled upon the shack to satisfy his "craving", and that the old man has extended his life preternaturally through cannibalism. The narrator realizes the old man has been alive for over a century. The old man denies that he ever acted on his desire, but then a red drop of blood falls from the ceiling, clearly coming from the floor above, and splashes a page in the book. The narrator then looks up to see a spreading red stain on the ceiling; this belies the old man's statement. At that moment, a bolt of lightning destroys the house, bringing oblivion to the narrator.</p> <p>Famous works of the author Howard Phillips Lovecraft: At the Mountains of Madness, The Dreams in the Witch House, The Horror at Red Hook, The Shadow Out of Time, The Shadows over Innsmouth, The Alchemist, Reanimator, Ex Oblivione, Azathoth, The Call of Cthulhu, The Cats of Ulthar, The Outsider, The Picture in the House, The Shunned House, The Terrible Old Man, The Tomb, Dagon, What the Moon Brings.</p>

<p>The Science of Getting Rich is a book written by the New Thought Movement writer Wallace D. Wattles and published in 1910 by the Elizabeth Towne Company. The book is still in print. According to USA Today, the text is "divided into 17 short, straight-to-the-point chapters that explain how to overcome mental barriers, and how creation, rather than competition, is the hidden key to wealth attraction.</p> <p>This book is based on the Hindu philosophies that One is All, and that All is One (Page one of Preface). The Science of Getting Rich is based upon what Wattles called "the Certain Way of Thinking." According to Mitch Horowitz, the editor-in-chief of the Jeremy Tarcher imprint of Penguin Books, which reprinted The Science of Getting Rich in 2007, Wattles' "Certain Way" descended from the "mental healing movement" that had started earlier with Phineas P. Quimby in the mid-19th century. As Horowitz explained to a reporter from the Washington Post, after experiencing relief from physical symptoms of discomfort or illness through Quimby's mental strategies, people began to wonder, "If my state of mind seems to have a positive influence over how I feel physically, what other things can it do? Can it lead to prosperity? Can it lead to happiness in my home? Can it lead to finding love and romance?" One result of such questioning was Wattles's application of Quimbian "mental healing" strategies to financial as well as physiological situations.</p> <p>Famous works of the author Wallace D. Wattles: The Constructive Use of Foods, Hellfire Harrison, Jesus: The Man and His Work, a long speech made into a pamphlet, and the base of "A New Christ", Letters to a Woman's Husband, "The Science of" trilogy: The Science of Getting Rich, The Science of Being Great, The Science of Being Well.</p>
