Descubre los misterios ocultos de los hombres que acompañaron a Jesús: un viaje en el tiempo lleno de revelaciones sorprendentes y enigmas históricos.

¿Quiénes intentaron robar la cabeza de san Pedro en el Vaticano? ¿Cómo se descubrió la tumba y la casa del «Príncipe de los Apóstoles»? ¿Dónde se veneran hoy la falange del dedo índice del incrédulo Tomás y el brazo amputado de Judas Tadeo? ¿A qué discípulo corresponden, en realidad, parte de los restos conservados en la Catedral de Santiago de Compostela?

Por increíble que parezca, los Doce Apóstoles de Jesús y las circunstancias que los rodean siguen siendo todavía muy desconocidos. Con su acostumbrado rigor y amenidad, y tras una ímproba labor de investigación para alumbrar importantes pasajes del Evangelio, José María Zavala nos adentra desde la primera a la última página en una especie de máquina del tiempo a través de la cual podremos contemplar, como si hubiésemos estado allí, las apasionantes vidas de los Apóstoles que acompañaron a Jesús.

Tras el éxito de Últimas noticias de Jesús, el autor nos brinda ahora un fascinante retrato humano de los Doce elegidos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Discover the hidden mysteries of the men who accompanied Jesus: a journey through time filled with surprising revelations and historical enigmas.

Who tried to steal the head of Saint Peter in the Vatican? How was the tomb and house of the "Prince of the Apostles" discovered? Where are the relics of the doubting Thomas's finger and the amputated arm of Judas Thaddeus venerated today? To which disciple do some of the remains kept in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela truly belong?

Incredibly, the Twelve Apostles of Jesus and the circumstances surrounding them remain largely unknown. With his usual rigor and engaging style, and after an immense research effort to shed light on important passages of the Gospel, José María Zavala takes us from the first to the last page on a kind of time machine through which we can witness, as if we had been there ourselves, the fascinating lives of the Apostles who accompanied Jesus.

Following the success of Últimas noticias de Jesús, the author now offers a captivating human portrait of the Twelve chosen ones.

Fate bends to no one except the cursed.

The King

The safety of his kingdom has been the highest priority for Cethin since the moment he was born, but he's been on the throne less than a year when new threats find their way to his lands. Past sacrifices mean nothing if he can't figure out what is hunting his people. Desperate to protect his kingdom but also free Avonleya from the curse that keeps them locked away from the rest of realm, he'll do anything to ensure his people know peace. Even if that means being a villain in one story to be a savior in another.

The Queen

When Kailia steps in to save the Avonleyan king from certain death, she never expected to be punished for it. Then again, maybe she's being punished for accidentally stabbing him a few weeks later. Whatever the reason, she suddenly finds herself forced into a marriage and onto a throne. But she's not from here. She's from across the sea where the Avonleyan king is only whispered about. Wicked. Cursed. Cruel. That's fine. She can be all those things too, and she'll have to be to get what she came to the kingdom for. She lives for the hunt, and she's never the prey.

The Dragon

Avonleya is the only real home he's ever known, but Razik Greybane is loyal to the kingdom that loves the night, not the arrogant king who sits on the throne. Content with his books and solitude, he only cares for two people: his uncle and the female Fae who can sustain his magic. When his uncle assigns him to be the new queen's personal guard, Razik agrees. Sure, it's mainly to figure out the new queen's ulterior motives, but if he can use the opportunity to undermine Cethin, he'll take that too. It's only fair when he's the reason Razik was abandoned to this realm and cursed to forever fight a destiny he doesn't want, until he realizes the Fates just might be more involved than they ever realized.

The night harbors more than shadows.

What if the next phase of economic growth is not driven by a single innovation, but by how everything connects?

This book introduces the concept of the Nexus company ecosystem, a new framework for understanding and shaping the future of business, labor, and economic policy. At its core is the idea that productivity, opportunity, and long-term growth depend not only on individual industries or technologies, but on how effectively they are coordinated.

Rather than focusing on economic decline or inequality alone, this work offers a constructive and forward-looking alternative. It outlines how businesses, governments, and workers can align through emerging models that integrate advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence with evolving workforce systems, education pathways, and infrastructure development. Nexus companies act as the central connectors in this system, linking talent, capital, and opportunity in ways that increase efficiency and unlock new forms of value creation.

The book also introduces innovative financial structures such as Special Infrastructure Investment Vehicles, designed to attract private capital into critical infrastructure while improving execution and long-term returns. These mechanisms, combined with policy frameworks and workforce development strategies, provide a practical roadmap for revitalizing economic growth.

Drawing on real-world experience across multiple industries, the author presents a systems-level perspective on how economic evolution can be guided rather than passively experienced. The result is a pragmatic yet hopeful vision of the future, one in which technological advancement enhances human potential instead of displacing it.

For business leaders, policymakers, economists, and anyone concerned about the direction of the modern economy, this book offers both insight and direction. It is a call to actively shape the next era of economic development, ensuring that growth is not only sustained but broadly shared.

A ground-breaking history delivered in a refreshing new voice, Queer Enlightenments details eleven overlooked stories of eighteenth-century queer people who lived extraordinary lives of resistance and joy

Queer people have always existed. In an era when this basic truth faces undue scrutiny, here is a dazzling work of restorative history that reveals the hard-won lives of those who dared to break the mold in the "long eighteenth-century." At once an illuminating romp through the historical archive and an evocative new chapter in our shared history, Dr. Anthony Delaney's Queer Enlightenments uncovers the remarkable queer people of that complex, sometimes paradoxical time.

Unfolding between 1726 and 1836, Queer Enlightenments is a lively journey through the taverns, prisons, and cruising grounds of a bygone era and into the lives of aristocrats, tradesmen, and sex workers who pursued self-expression and freedom no matter the risk. In London, Mother Clap's famous Holborn coffee house is open to all comers, a place of companionship and community, until a tip-off leads to a midnight raid. At the court of King George, a silver-tongued noblewoman remarked of one of Queen Caroline's confidants, "The world consists of men, women, and Herveys." And in New York, a Black sex worker endures a degrading trial that labels her the "Man-Monster"--but between the lines of its transcripts can be found traces of her life, one of acceptance, defiance, and indomitable spirit.

Peopled with female husbands, midnight elopements, and one unforgettable soldier/diplomat/spy of ambiguous gender, Queer Enlightenments delves into the archives and emerges with new discoveries and a fresh view of the people who challenged society's expectations.

27 personal histories of immigrant restaurant workers in New York City whose stories of persistence, hope, and endurance show how vital they are to our country

Compiled by a longtime chef who knows how indispensable--and fascinating--they are

Immigrants play an essential role in the growth, resiliency, and overall success of the food industry. In an age of rising anti-immigrant rhetoric, their voices must be heard.

"Restaurants as we know them in the US would not exist without immigrant labor," begins Marc Meyer's preface to this unique collection. With these words, Meyer makes clear his commitment to centering the voices of the staff members who make his restaurants possible.

All of the contributors came to New York from another part of the world--Mexico, Bangladesh, Ivory Coast, and beyond--and all found their foothold in the restaurant industry. Among them are:

- Angel V., an openly gay dissident lawyer from Venezuela who survived two kidnappings before coming to the US

- Islam, from Bangladesh, who worked as a runner and expeditor and is now building his own mosque in Jamaica, Queens

- Carlha, a Dominican sous-chef at Shuka who still makes rice the way her father taught her when she was a child

Their stories are a window into the staggering range of life experiences that immigrant workers carry with them. They are by turns funny, dark, poignant, surprising, and relatable. Most of all, they deserve our respect and our solidarity.

All author proceeds from the book will be distributed evenly among the contributors.

NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS' CHOICE - The heartrending story of twin sisters torn apart by China's one-child policy and the rise of international adoption--from the author of the National Book Award finalist Nothing to Envy

"Remarkable . . . Barbara Demick movingly traces this history of overseas Chinese adoptions and their ripple effects on both sides of the Pacific."--The Wall Street Journal

WINNER OF THE CHRISTOPHER J. WELLES MEMORIAL PRIZE - FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD AND THE BAIFANG SCHELL BOOK PRIZE - LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NONFICTION

A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, NPR, The New Yorker, The Economist

On a warm day in September 2000, a woman named Zanhua gave birth to twin girls in a small hut behind her brother's home in China's Hunan province. The twins, Fangfang and Shuangjie, were welcome additions to her family but also not her first children. Living under the shadow of China's notorious one-child policy, Zanhua and her husband decided to leave one twin in the care of relatives, hoping each toddler on their own might stay under the radar. But, in 2002, Fangfang was violently snatched away. The family worried they would never see her again, but they didn't imagine she could be sent as far as the United States. She might as well have been sent to another world.

Following stories she wrote as the Beijing bureau chief for the Los Angeles Times, Barbara Demick embarks on a journey that encompasses the origins, shocking cruelty, and long-term impact of China's one-child rule; the rise of international adoption and the religious currents that buoyed it; and the exceedingly rare phenomenon of twin separation. Today, Esther--formerly Fangfang--lives in Texas, and Demick brings to vivid life the Christian family that felt called to adopt her, unaware that she had been kidnapped. Through Demick's indefatigable reporting, will the long-lost sisters finally reunite--and will they feel whole again?

A remarkable window into the volatile, constantly changing China of the last half century and the long-reaching legacy of the country's most infamous law, Daughters of the Bamboo Grove is also the moving story of two sisters torn apart by the forces of history and brought together again by their families' determination and one reporter's dogged work.

"Excellent . . . entrancing and disturbing . . . [Demick] is one of our finest chroniclers of East Asia. . . . [Her] characters are richly drawn, and her stories, often reported over a span of years, deliver a rare emotional wallop."--The New York Times

Nik is a young boy in a wheelchair. He dreams of racing in a red racing bike. He has a best friend, Josh, who is a football player. They work together to overcome problems and challenges. Nik gets his family and friends to work together, to help him achieve his dream. He and his friends help each other to understand their differences. The story is about learning, growing and adjusting to life's changes.

It's about being courageous and not giving up.

Pore over the letters of Eve Babitz--queen of the witty, gossipy, and thoroughly engrossing missive.

Joan Didion, Joseph Heller, Annie Leibovitz, Paul Ruscha, Anne Rice, Steve Martin, and many others appear in this first-of-its-kind collection.

Letter-writing was the kind of writing Babitz did best. Her missives--fresh and frank, dashing and droll--are irresistible, as highly spirited as they are acutely perceptive. Take, for example, this letter to a friend in 1979:

"I wrote this letter to Leo Lerman, that editor at Vogue who took me out to lunch at the Algonquin when I was in NY.... So I told him how I'd moved to Santa Monica, and what it was like, and the skating and the Rodeo Drive-type stores. And he published the thing as is, or was (it was slightly edited). Now it's appearing on every newsstand. And since it's the kind of writing I do best--letters--people are dropping dead all over the place over how wonderful I am."

People will drop dead all over the place when they get a load of this collection featuring letters to or from some of Babitz' most famous friends, lovers, artistic idols and rivals, like Joan Didion, Joseph Heller, Annie Leibovitz, Paul Ruscha, Anne Rice, and Steve Martin.

"Doyens of the Italian detective story, Fruttero and Lucentini, offer a perfect blend of the comedy of manners and the macabre; in short, very Mediterranean mysteries." Tim Parks, author of Hotel Milano and Italian Life

In an exclusive resort on the Tuscan coast, the wealthy elite gather at their luxurious second homes for Christmas. Amid this frosty holiday idyll, a husband and wife vanish from their heavily guarded villa, and the body of Count Delaude, a dubious aristocrat, washes up on the shore, battered to death.

The ensemble cast brims with intrigue: The count, a sponger and a sham had arrived under cover of dark with a beautiful young woman scheming to be a top model. Two comedians seclude themselves as they try to overcome a writing block. One depressive, Signor Monforti, a retired academic, tries to woo a beautiful divorcee, while another, a woman this time, prepares to leave her husband. Two elderly spinsters and their Filipina maid are aghast at the awful predictions of their Tarot pack. With the local police floundering, it falls to Monforti to unravel the mystery, triumphing as an amateur detective.

"A sophisticated thriller--consistently funny. These are superbly deadpan observers of humanity." Literary Review

The Lover of No Fixed Abode in the same series was selected by Tracy Chevalier for the WSJ as first among the five best books on Venice: "...distinctive, eccentric, seductive." John Powers on NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross - calls Lover of No Fixed Abode his favorite mystery novel of the year.

In this propulsive crime novel from Edgar Award nominee Ken Jaworowski, three lives collide in a gritty rust-belt town--a single mother covering up a deadly mistake, a young man on a mission to honor a dying wish, and a musician racing to escape a violent debt.

Carla, a single mom poised to finally break free from her cycle of poverty, must risk it all, including her morality, to help her son hide a terrible secret.

Reed, an autistic young man, sets out on a journey to keep a deathbed promise to the mother he just lost. Along the way he'll encounter both kindhearted residents and a cold-blooded nemesis.

And Liz, an aspiring musician on the cusp of a breakthrough, needs to quickly come up with the cash she owes a brutal ex-con. If she can't pay him, both her dream and her life will be in grave danger.

As these three compelling characters intersect, the novel ignites into a story filled with explosive twists, hair-raising chills, and boundless love.

"Stewart O'Nan has been one of the best chroniclers of the lives of American women."--Susan Straight

An intimate, moving novel that follows The Humpty Dumpty Club, a group of women of a certain age who band together to help one another and their circle of friends in Pittsburgh as they face the challenges of their golden years

The Humpty Dumpty Club is distraught when their powerhouse leader, Joan Hargrove, takes a bad fall down her stairs, knocking her out of commission. Now, as well as running errands and shepherding those less able to their doctors' appointments, they have to pick up the slack.

Between navigating their own relationships and aging bodies and attending choir practice, these invisible yet indomitable women help where they can. They bake cookies, they care for pets, they pick up prescriptions, they sit vigil by the sick, and most of all, they show up for the people they've pledged to help. In the face of death, divorce, and the myriad directions our lives can take, the Humpty Dumpty club represents the power of community and chosen family.

Weaving together the perspectives of the four cardinal members as they tend to those in need, Stewart O'Nan revisits beloved characters from his past work--most notably Emily Maxwell--to fashion a rich and moving novel that celebrates our capacity for patience and care. Vivid, warm, and often wryly funny, Evensong reminds us that life is made up of moments both climactic and quotidian, and we weather those moments with the people we choose to keep close.
