Nicolas Sparks
|
|
American novelist, screenwriter, and philanthropist
|
|
For the first time in his career Nicholas Sparks simultaneously publishes in both Spanish and in English. The Longest Ride is the newest addition to the library by this phenomenal writer. To this date, his books have sold over 85 million copies. From The Notebook to The Last Song, to his latest, The Longest Ride, his rich storytelling leaves readers wondering: How does he continue to write so many novels, each seemingly better than the last? This is the story of two very different couples, Ira and Ruth on one side and Sophia y Luke. Both stories would connect through some sort of serendipitous event that would make reading the book pure enjoyment from beginning to end.

I met Antonio Cabanas again three years after our last interview. We can do it thanks to the publication of his new historical novel, "El sueño de Tutankhamón." Yes, the one from Egypt. Some fellow journalists recently told me that novels about the pyramids were already out of fashion. That no one read them: I think the same of those about the Romans. Furthermore, with the centenary of the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb, Egypt and its mysteries have become fashionable again.

Pablo Boullosa
|
|
A beautifully illustrated picture book that takes up the tradition of riddles, written by Pablo Boullosa and illustrated by Cecilia Rébora.If you look at me slowly and say my name out loud, the missing words will soon come to mind. Both for their grace and for their creative use of metaphors, riddles have innumerable literary qualities. They are a challenge for creativity, both for those who write them and for those who try to solve the riddle.
