HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics.

'Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee...'

Few literary masterpieces cast quite as awesome a shadow as Herman Melville's Moby Dick. Captain Ahab's quest for the white whale is a timeless epic - a thrilling tale of vengeance and obsession, and a searing parable about humanity lost in a universe of moral ambiguity.

Inspired by true events, Moby Dick is a work of astonishing psychological depth. It is perhaps the greatest sea story ever told and one of the great classics of literature.

El libro que ha inspirado la serie adaptada de Netflix.

La novela por la que Laura Restrepo fue galardonada con el Premio Alfaguara de novela 2004.

«Todos los secretos están guardados en un mismo cajón, el cajón de los secretos, y si desvelas uno, corres el riesgo de que pase lo mismo con los demás.»

Un hombre regresa a casa después de un corto viaje de negocios y encuentra que su esposa ha enloquecido completamente. No tiene idea de qué le ha podido ocurrir durante los tres días de su ausencia, y con el fin de ayudarla a salir de la crisis empieza a investigar, solo para descubrir lo poco que sabe sobre las profundas perturbaciones escondidas en el pasado de la mujer que ama.
Narrada con talento y emoción, la historia principal de esta novela se fragmenta en otras que se anudan a través de personajes llenos de matices. Laura Restrepo muestra en esta obra una energía narrativa fuera de lo común, en donde el suspense se mantiene hasta un final esperanzador que cierra una hermosa novela, bien construida, mejor controlada y brillantemente desarrollada.

José Saramago, presidente del jurado que entregó el Premio Alfaguara de Novela a Laura Restrepo, dijo...

«Delirio es una expresión de todo lo que Colombia tiene de fascinante, e incluso de terriblemente fascinante. Y cuando el nivel de la escritura llega hasta donde lo llevó Laura Restrepo, hay que quitarse el sombrero. Lo digo en mi nombre y en el nombre del jurado que no ha ahorrado aplausos para esta obra.»

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The book that inspired the Netflix adapted series.

In this remarkably nuanced novel, both a gripping detective story and a passionate, devastating tale of eros and insanity in Colombia, internationally acclaimed author Laura Restrepo delves into the minds of four characters. There's Agustina, a beautiful woman from an upper-class family who is caught in the throes of madness; her husband Aguilar, a man passionately in love with his wife and determined to rescue her from insanity; Agustina's former lover Midas, a drug-trafficker and money-launderer; and Nicolás, Agustina's grandfather. Through the blend of these distinct voices, Restrepo creates a searing portrait of a society battered by war and corruption, as well as an intimate look at the daily lives of people struggling to stay sane in an unstable reality.

It's often said that the last thing you need to worry about when in a survival situation is what you're going to eat. The human body is highly resilient, and can go without food for longer than you think. On the other hand, shelter and water are pretty much non-negotiable in order to survive. However, it is possible to familiarize yourself with edible wild plants before you get into a survival situation, in which case you'll have a good idea of which wild plants you can eat if necessary. In addition, once you learn to identify some of these common edible wild plants, you might be able to add them to your diet while you're still in the city. Ever watched those shows where ordinary people are unexpectedly stranded in the wild and have to survive by their bare wits and living off nature? Notice how some poor guy always runs into trouble when he eats a plant he thinks is safe, but is actually highly poisonous? Clearly his survival instinct weren't up to part. Think you could do a better job? No matter where you are in the world knowing what plants are edible and which ones could kill you is a critical survival skill. You never know when you may be stranded in the woods, washed up on a deserted island, or have to fend for your self when the zombie apocalypse strikes (hey, it could happen). There are some important facts about plants to know which end up keeping you alive by swallowing a few bitter stalks; like knowing the difference between plants that look and smell awful, but are really delicious and nutritious, and what plants smell bad, and taste worse, but may really have enough nutrients to keep you going. Unless you've spent time picking up nifty survival tricks in the army, or were a Boy Scout (or Girl Scout), chance are you probably don't know some of the tricks to finding edible plants. The first things to know are the warning signs that a plant is poisonous: plants with leaves that grow in a pattern of threes, seed or bulbs that are found inside pods, a bitter or soapy taste, sap that is mildly or strangely discolored, grain head that have spikes, hooks or spurs, and a kind of bitter "almond" smell to the leaves or bark. These are all signs that they shouldn't be eating it. You can also apply the Universal Edibility Test to the sprout you're considering consuming, and keep your eyes peeled for these useful plants which are definitely edible and sure to help you survive in the wild.

"Hot and humorous." --USAToday.com

Petite, kind, brilliant, and young, Stevie is nothing like the usual women bodyguard Shen Li is interested in. Even more surprising, the youngest of the lethal, ball-busting, and beautiful MacKilligan sisters is terrified of bears. But she's not terrified of pandas. She loves pandas.

Which means that whether Shen wants her to or not, she simply won't stop cuddling him. He isn't some stuffed Giant Panda, ya know! He is a Giant Panda shifter. He deserves respect and personal space. Something that little hybrid is completely ignoring.

But Stevie has a way of finding trouble. Like going undercover to take down a scientist experimenting on other shifters. For what, Shen doesn't want to know, but they'd better find out. And fast. Stevie might be the least violent of the honey badger sisters, but she's the most dangerous to Shen's peace of mind. Because she has absolutely no idea how much trouble they're in . . . or just how damn adorable she is.

Secondary Teachers and Homeschooling Parents: Enhance Your Classroom with a Positive Daily Bell-Ringer Activity!

Looking for an engaging way to start every class period? Discover Birdseed, a daily 5-10 minute activity that fosters social-emotional intelligence. Designed by a veteran teacher and endorsed by New York Times best-selling author and positive psychology expert Shawn Achor, by the MTSS coordinator for The Colorado Department of Education, and by psychologists, teachers, and students worldwide, Birdseed is a game-changer!

The Activity Shared in This Text is a MTSS Tier 1 Intervention:
The Impact of Relaxation on the Brain and Learning

When students' nervous systems are relaxed, their brains are better able to focus on learning. This is because a relaxed state activates the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for higher-order thinking, problem-solving, and emotional regulation. In a state of stress or anxiety, the brain shifts to the "fight or flight" response, driven by the amygdala, which hinders cognitive functions. By calming the nervous system, students can access their prefrontal cortex more effectively, enhancing their ability to concentrate and learn. Implementing these activities at the start of class can help create a calm and focused learning environment, enabling students to better engage with the instructional material.

A Simple Tier One Learning Support Strategy: Creating Predictable Daily Routines and Procedures

Establishing predictable daily routines and procedures in the classroom is crucial for creating a structured and stable learning environment. This predictability can have a profound impact on students' nervous systems, particularly in how it affects their ability to learn and retain information.

Impact on the Nervous System:

1. Stress Reduction in The Classroom: When students know what to expect, it reduces anxiety and stress. The brain is less likely to trigger the "fight or flight" response, which is a physiological reaction to perceived threats.

2. Turning on the "Learning Centers" in Students' Brains: The brain operates more efficiently in a relaxed state. When students feel safe and calm, the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for higher-order thinking, problem-solving, and emotional regulation, is more active.

3. Reducing Hyper-vigilance in the Classroom: Students who are constantly on edge or hyper-vigilant due to unpredictable classroom environments or external factors may struggle to concentrate.

The daily Birdseed activity is a quick, engaging, and effective daily procedure that will relax your students' nervous systems and transform your classroom environment.

In On Decoloniality Walter D. Mignolo and Catherine E. Walsh explore the hidden forces of the colonial matrix of power, its origination, transformation, and current presence, while asking the crucial questions of decoloniality's how, what, why, with whom, and what for. Interweaving theory-praxis with local histories and perspectives of struggle, they illustrate the conceptual and analytic dynamism of decolonial ways of living and thinking, as well as the creative force of resistance and re-existence. This book speaks to the urgency of these times, encourages delinkings from the colonial matrix of power and its "universals" of Western modernity and global capitalism, and engages with arguments and struggles for dignity and life against death, destruction, and civilizational despair.

Macbeth is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. Set mainly in Scotland, the play dramatises the damaging physical and psychological effects of political ambition on those who seek power for its own sake. The play is believed to have been written between 1599 and 1606. The earliest account of a performance of what was probably Shakespeare's play is April 1611, when Simon Forman recorded seeing such a play at the Globe Theatre. It was first published in the Folio of 1623, possibly from a prompt book. It was most likely written during the reign of James I (of England), who had already been crowned James VI of Scotland before he succeeded to the English throne as well in 1603. James VI/I was a patron of Shakespeare's acting company, and of all the plays Shakespeare wrote during James's reign, Macbeth most clearly reflects the playwright's relationship with the sovereign. Macbeth is Shakespeare's shortest tragedy, and tells the story of a brave Scottish general named Macbeth who receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife, Macbeth murders King Duncan and takes the Scottish throne for himself. He is then wracked with guilt and paranoia, and he soon becomes a tyrannical ruler as he is forced to commit more and more murders to protect himself from enmity and suspicion. The bloodbath and consequent civil war swiftly take Macbeth and Lady Macbeth into the realms of madness, and death.

Ash-Shāfi'ī said, "After the Book of Allah, there is no book on the face of the earth sounder than the book of Mālik." 'Alā' ad-Dīn Maghlaṭāy al-Ḥanafī said, "The first person to compile the ṣaḥīḥ was Mālik." Ibn Ḥajar said, "The book of Mālik is sound by all the criteria that are demanded as proofs in the mursal, munqaṭi' and other types of transmission." As-Suyūṭī followed Ibn Ḥajar's judgement and said, "It is absolutely correct to say that the Muwaṭṭa' is sound (ṣaḥīḥ) without exception." Al-Bukhārī and Muslim transmitted most of its ḥadīths and included them in their Ṣaḥīḥ collections. The authors of the rest of the six books, the Imām of the ḥadīth scholars, Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, and others did the same. But, in addition, the Muwaṭṭa' contains a record of the practice of the people of Madīnah of the first generations, a transmission of the ethos that permeated the city and Imām Mālik's painstaking clarification of the Sunna, the ḥadīths, the practice and legal judgements. Imam Mālik's full name is Mālik ibn Anas ibn Mālik ibn Abī 'Āmir al-Aṣbaḥī and he was related to Dhū Aṣbaḥ, a sub-tribe of Ḥimyar. He was instructed in the learning and recitation of the Noble Qur'ān by Imām Nāfi' ibn 'Abd ar-Raḥmān ibn Abī Nu'aym, the Imām of the reciters of Madīna and one of the "seven reciters". Among the huge number of his teachers in ḥadīth and fiqh were Nāfi', the mawlā of 'Abdullāh ibn 'Umar and Ibn Shihāb az-Zuhrī. He sat to give fatwā when he was seventeen years old after seventy Imāms had testified that he was worthy to give fatwā and teach. His own students included Imām ash-Shāfi'ī and Imām Muhammad ibn al-Ḥasan ash-Shaybānī the Ḥanafī mujtahid, as well as a great number of Imāms of ḥadīth and fiqh and thus he is known as Imām al-A'immah 'the Imām of the Imāms'.

This timeless book holds that the key to success lies in the secrets of the ancients. Based on the famous "Babylonian principles," it's been hailed as the greatest of all inspirational works on the subject of thrift and financial planning.

There are places in the United States of America where violent acts of bloodshed have occurred. Years may pass--even centuries--but the mark of death remains. They are known as Murder Houses.

From a colonial manse in New England to a small-town home in Iowa to a Beverly Hills mansion, these residences have taken on a life of their own, gaining everything from local lore and gossip to national--and even global--infamy.

Writer Steve Lehto recounts the stories behind the houses where Lizzie Borden supposedly gave her stepmother "forty whacks," where the real Amityville Horror was first unleashed by gunfire, and where the demented acts of the Manson Family horrified a nation--as well some lesser-known sites of murder that were no less ghastly.

Exploring the past and present of more than twenty-five renowned homicide scenes, American Murder Houses is a tour through the real estate of some of the most grisly and fascinating crimes in American history.
