El renacer de las alas


Book Description

Un llamador que esconde una llave. Dos puertas que nunca debieron abrirse. Ella tiene un don, él una misión. Lilith tiene muchas preguntas, Zach demasiadas respuestas. El destino de los humanos está en manos de una guerra sobrenatural inevitable. ¿Existe esperanza cuando todo está perdido? «Al principio no te recordaba. No recordaba nada. […] Y de repente, una noche, tras recordar esa frase… “Te quiero, mi reina. Te quiero más que a mi vida”, lo recordé todo».

ALPINISTAS DE CORAZÓN

Saddest Country


Book Description

Nicholas Coghlan's travels took him off the beaten path into the disparate corners of the country - from the coca fields of Putumayo to the swamps of Darien Gap to the vast savannahs of the Llano where he confronted the stark realities of narcotrafficking, internal displacement, and human rights abuses. His courageous book reveals the workings of two guerrilla armies, bands of right-wing paramilitaries, and the squandered potential of Andres Pastrana's presidential campaign and victory over the unlamented incumbent Ernesto Samper. Pictured from the outside as a menacing narcodemocracy, the intricate truth Coghlan uncovers is at once more horrifying and more tragic. Colombia, marked by daily violence and breathtaking beauty, is the saddest country.
