De la pluma del cocreador de Gomaespuma, un homenaje emocionado a la generación de emigrantes hipanos en EE. UU. Esta es la novela de Marcelo Hernández, barman de una de las barras más legendarias del universo, el Oyster Bar de Gran Central Terminal, la célebre estación ferroviaria de Nueva York. Por la barra de Marcelo, ubicada en un monumental edificio en el corazón de la Gran Manzana, han desfilado miles de almas, desde el efímero turista a grandes ejecutivos de Wall Street e incluso artistas como Andy Warhol. Para Marcelo, el Oyster Bar había sido siempre un remanso de paz en donde hacía años que había dejado de transcurrir el tiempo mientras elaboraba sus celebrados cócteles. Pero un día su destino se cruza con el de Dylan, un millenial arrogante y adicto a las redes sociales a quien le han nombrado su ayudante en contra de la voluntad de ambos; y con el de Anna, una periodista española que desea escribir sobre la vida de Marcelo. Estos dos encuentros cambiarán su vida para siempre. Con una prosa cautivadora, Guillermo Fesser nos sumerge con su novela en el microcosmos neoyorquino y en la historia de este personaje real: su niñez en Ecuador; su posterior inmigración a Estados Unidos y los años de duro trabajo, el desencuentro y reencuentro con Karen, su amor perdido; y el hallazgo de una familia que ni siquiera él sabía que tenía. Marcelo es un canto a un mundo sencillo y humilde que se nos va; un homenaje emocionado a la generación de emigrantes hispanos que levantaron el negocio de la restauración en EE. UU.; y un fascinante repaso a los cambios sociales experimentados, desde finales de los 60, en ese lugar efervescente al que hemos dado en llamar Manhattan.

While landscaping his backyard, ever-conscientious Paul Prentice discovers an iron door buried in the soil. His childhood friend and perpetual source of mischief, Jay Lightsey, pushes them to explore what's beneath. When the door slams shut above them, Paul and Jay are trapped in a between-worlds place of Escher-like rooms and horror story monsters, all with a mysterious connection to a command-line, dungeon explorer computer game from the early '80s called The Between. Paul and Jay find themselves filling roles in a story that seems to play out over and over again. But in this world, where their roles warp their minds, the biggest threat to survival may not be the Koŝmaro, risen from the Between's depths to hunt them; the biggest danger may be each other.

The Source and Mode of Solar Energy Throughout the Universe by Isaac Winter Heys is a pioneering scientific treatise first published in 1910, exploring the fundamental origins and mechanisms of solar energy as it exists not only within our own solar system but also throughout the cosmos. Drawing upon the scientific knowledge of the early twentieth century, Heys delves into the nature of the sun, examining its composition, structure, and the processes by which it emits energy. The book investigates the prevailing theories of solar radiation, including the transformation of matter into energy, and discusses the implications of these processes for the broader universe. Heys presents a detailed analysis of the sun’s role as the primary source of energy for Earth, explaining how solar radiation sustains life, drives weather patterns, and influences the planet’s climate. He extends his inquiry beyond the sun, considering the possibility of similar energy sources in other stars and the universality of the processes that generate and distribute energy across the cosmos. The author critically examines contemporary hypotheses, such as the contraction theory and the role of radioactivity, and evaluates their strengths and limitations in explaining the sun’s enduring luminosity. Throughout the book, Heys combines rigorous scientific reasoning with philosophical reflection, contemplating the ultimate origins of energy and the laws governing its transformation and conservation. He addresses the relationship between matter and energy, the potential for perpetual motion, and the fate of the universe in light of thermodynamic principles. Rich in historical context and scientific insight, The Source and Mode of Solar Energy Throughout the Universe offers readers a comprehensive overview of early twentieth-century astrophysics, while raising questions that continue to inspire scientific inquiry today.

"A dull, dark, and soundless day... where the clouds hung oppressively low." When an unnamed narrator arrives at the ancestral estate of his childhood friend, Roderick Usher, he finds a house that seems to possess a life of its own. Roderick, suffering from a hypersensitivity of the senses and a profound "mental disorder," lives in a state of perpetual terror alongside his dying twin sister, Madeline. As the physical structure of the mansion mirrors the crumbling sanity of its inhabitants, the narrator is drawn into a nightmare of subterranean vaults, haunting melodies, and a family secret that refuses to stay buried. This is Poe at the height of his powers, weaving a story where every shadow, every sound, and every stone contributes to a singular effect of overwhelming gloom. One of the most chilling elements of the story is Roderick's belief that the very stones of his house are sentient. Poe uses this to create a "Gothic atmosphere" where the environment itself is a character, conspiring against the Ushers to bring about their total annihilation. From the "barely perceptible fissure" zig-zagging down the front of the mansion to the storm that rages during the climax, Poe uses the physical world to represent the internal collapse of the human mind. The "Fall" of the title refers simultaneously to the destruction of the building, the death of the family line, and the descent into madness. The Fall of the House of Usher established the tropes that would define horror for nearly two centuries. It is a psychological puzzle that invites endless interpretation—is it a ghost story, a study of incestuous decay, or a journey into a dying mind? Poe's rhythmic, hypnotic prose ensures that once you enter the House of Usher, you never truly leave. Enter the mansion of madness. Purchase "The Fall of the House of Usher" today.

"I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves." At a time when women were viewed as mere decorative ornaments or domestic servants, Mary Wollstonecraft issued a radical call for change. In A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, she challenges the educational and social systems of the 18th century that kept women in a state of "perpetual childhood." She argues that women are rational beings deserving of the same fundamental rights as men, and that a truly just society can only exist when both sexes are equally educated. Bold, fiery, and profoundly logical, this work laid the intellectual groundwork for the suffrage movements that would follow a century later. The Power of Education: Wollstonecraft's central argument is that the "frivolity" of women in her time was a product of a culture that only valued them for their beauty. By advocating for a national system of co-education, she envisioned a world where women could be independent, contributing members of society and "rational companions" to their partners. A Revolutionary Spirit: Written as a response to political theorists who excluded women from the "rights of man," this book is a masterpiece of Enlightenment thought. Wollstonecraft applies the principles of liberty and equality to the domestic sphere, demanding that justice begin at home. Why It Is Essential Today: As the mother of Frankenstein author Mary Shelley and a pioneer in her own right, Wollstonecraft's voice remains a powerful reminder of the struggle for self-sovereignty. Her work continues to inspire anyone fighting for the right to think, learn, and live freely. Own a piece of revolutionary history. Purchase "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" today.

Perpetual Motion: The History of an Obsession is a fascinating exploration into the centuries-old quest to create a machine that could operate indefinitely without an external energy source. Authored by Percy Verance, this book delves into the dreams, follies, and ingenuity of inventors who, throughout history, have sought to defy the laws of physics in pursuit of the elusive perpetual motion machine. Drawing from historical records, scientific treatises, and personal anecdotes, the narrative traces the evolution of perpetual motion concepts from the Middle Ages through the Industrial Revolution and into the modern era. The book vividly recounts the stories of eccentric inventors, charlatans, and visionaries who dedicated their lives to solving the riddle of endless motion. It examines the social, cultural, and scientific contexts that fueled this obsession, highlighting the interplay between genuine scientific curiosity and the allure of fame and fortune. Readers are introduced to a parade of ingenious contraptions—wheels, levers, magnets, and fluids—each promising to unlock the secret of infinite energy, only to be thwarted by the immutable laws of thermodynamics. Perpetual Motion also provides insight into the broader implications of this pursuit, reflecting on humanity’s relentless drive to conquer nature and the boundaries of knowledge. The book is both a cautionary tale and a celebration of human creativity, chronicling the transition from alchemy and mysticism to the rigorous scientific method. With wit and clarity, Percy Verance brings to life the colorful characters and curious machines that populate this unique chapter in the history of science, making Perpetual Motion an engaging read for anyone interested in invention, scientific history, and the enduring power of human imagination.
