De una de las autoras más queridas en Estados Unidos, una colección póstuma de cuentos recién descubiertos, además de ensayos y artículos anteriormente publicados, que nos ofrece una perspectiva fresca de la impresionante mente literaria de Harper Lee.

Harper Lee sigue siendo una figura prominente en el canon estadounidense, gracias a Scout, Jem, Atticus y los demás personajes indelebles de su debut literario ganador del Premio Pulitzer, Matar a un ruiseñor, así como la versión más oscura de un pequeño pueblo en la Alabama de finales de la década de 1950 que emergió entre las páginas de Ve y pon un centinela, su única otra novela, publicada en 2015, después de su redescubrimiento. Hasta ahora, sin embargo, se le conoce menos a la Harper Lee joven, a esa escritora tenaz que creaba historias esperando verlas publicadas en revistas; Lee, la vivaz neoyorquina, alabamiana y amiga de Truman Capote, y la Lee que salpicó las páginas de McCall's y Vogue con ensayos reflexivos durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX.

La tierra del dulce porvenir combina los inicios de la ficción breve de Lee con su no ficción subsecuente en un solo volumen para ofrecer una mirada sin precedentes al desarrollo de su inigualable voz. Cubre el territorio de la juventud de Lee, desde los patios de escuela en Alabama hasta las cafeterías y los cines del Manhattan de medio siglo, La tierra del dulce porvenir invita a tener conversaciones aún vitales sobre política, igualdad, viajes, amor, ficción, arte, el sur de Estados Unidos y lo que significa llevar una vida ocupada y creativa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From one of America's most beloved authors, a posthumous collection of newly discovered short stories and previously published essays and magazine pieces, offering a fresh perspective on the remarkable literary mind of Harper Lee.

Harper Lee remains a landmark figure in the American canon - thanks to Scout, Jem, Atticus, and the other indelible characters in her Pulitzer-winning debut, To Kill a Mockingbird; as well as for the darker, late-'50s version of small-town Alabama that emerged in Go Set a Watchman, her only other novel, published in 2015 after its rediscovery. Less remembered, until now, however, is Harper Lee the dogged young writer, who crafted stories in hopes of magazine publication; Lee the lively New Yorker, Alabamian, and friend to Truman Capote; and the Lee who peppered the pages of McCall's and Vogue with thoughtful essays in the latter part of the twentieth century.

The Land of Sweet Forever combines Lee's early short fiction and later nonfiction in a volume offering an unprecedented look at the development of her inimitable voice. Covering territory from the Alabama schoolyards of Lee's youth to the luncheonettes and movie houses of midcentury Manhattan, The Land of Sweet Forever invites still-vital conversations about politics, equality, travel, love, fiction, art, the American South, and what it means to lead an engaged and creative life.

In this newest installment of Alexander McCall Smith's beloved No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series, Mma Ramotswe takes on a number of perplexing situations, and while she tries to maintain her usual impartiality, it's difficult when one of the cases involves someone so close to her heart.

"Delightful . . . The warm humanity infused throughout [these] novels is what brings readers back . . . [McCall Smith] brings out the profound importance of everyday revelations." --San Francisco Chronicle

Mma Ramotswe can sense the rain long before it comes. It's been a long, dry summer, but the first downpour of the season tends to bring with it new growth. In this case, it also brings a new client, who suspects his wife of having an affair. Mma Ramotswe is on the case, and she decides to bring Charlie along. But as they look further into the matter, they begin to suspect their client may not have been entirely truthful in explaining his predicament.

Meanwhile, Mr. J.L.B.'s Matekoni has struck up a new friendship with a man named Mr. Mogorosi, a prominent figure in the motor trade business. Mma Ramotswe is concerned that Mr. Mogorosi may have ulterior motives for his attentions. When the two go on a fishing trip in waters teeming with dangerous crocodiles, she begins to worry for Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni's safety.

And though Mma Ramotswe has never quite perfected Mma Potokwane's delicious fruit cake recipe, she can always rely on her old friend for a steaming cup of red bush tea, some wise counsel, and a generous slice of cake. As welcome storms roll in to the little city of Gaborone, the pumpkins in Mma Potokwane's garden flourish, as do her keen insights. These will prove invaluable to Mma Ramotswe as she navigates these sensitive matters with her usual good humor and compassion.

Kackie Aiken is seventeen, sharp-tongued, and ready to leave Mandeville behind. After a summer in New York City, she returns home convinced she has outgrown her small town-and the small minds she has always blamed for its limits. But when her teacher partners her with Walt Singletary, a new Black student at Mandeville's primarily white prep school, Kackie is pulled into a project on the Civil Rights Movement that refuses to stay in the past.

Set against the backdrop of historic Mandeville's tricentennial celebration, the story unfolds under the menacing gaze of Mayor Tommy Cooper, whose influence seeps into the school, the streets, and the silence that holds the town together. As Kackie and Walt seek out the truth, hostility intensifies in the classroom and beyond. Old loyalties strain. New affections complicate everything. And the deeper Kackie looks, the more she realizes the history her family avoided is still shaping who gets protected, who gets blamed, and who gets to belong.

Nobody Wants to Remember is a soulful and heartbreaking coming-of-age story about confession and repentance, even when they cost what you most hold dear; and about how, especially for Kackie and Walt, the truth may not always set you free.

From the award-winning author of the best-selling Tristan Strong trilogy comes the sequel to Jax Freeman and the Phantom Shriek--a magical series about a special boy who is granted summoning powers from his ancestors.

Seventh grader Jackson "Jax" Freeman recently learned two important facts: one, he's a summoner--someone who can call on the magical powers of his ancestors to help him do amazing things--and two, he isn't the only person with this ability.

After much training, Jax and four of his summoner classmates from DuSable Middle school in Chicago are thrust into a competition called the Tournament of Spirits where they'll face the most skilled summoners from around the world.

But while everyone is focused on winning, Jax is given a special side quest by the elders of the four magical families: he has to spy on each of the competitors--including his own teammates--in order to uncover who is releasing endangered, and very dangerous, cryptids into the arena.

Can Jax take the top spot in the tournament and save himself and his friends from a mysterious foe?

Kwame Mbalia's incredible imagination and world-building talents are on full display in this thrilling adventure that's packed with magic, friendship, non-stop action, and a lot of heart.

Fans of Rebecca Serle and Christina Lauren will adore this immersive contemporary romance set in Italy.

Ava Graham's ducks are in a row as she heads off to Italy to complete her final law school credits and fulfill a promise she made to her late mother five years ago. Ava expects her long-term boyfriend to propose before her trip, but instead of giving her a ring, he suggests they use her time abroad as a "break" before settling down.

When James Massini arrives-late-to the airport to pick up Ava as a favor to his aunt and uncle, he's surprised to find that she's not a young co-ed, but a fascinating woman approaching thirty with a serious superiority complex and a habit of underestimating him. When she's assigned to his class as a TA, he becomes determined to prove to her that there is more to life than plans and lists, no matter how hard she fights with him-or how annoyingly charming he finds their banter.

Despite the sudden disaster of her life, type A Ava might actually enjoy Italy-if only annoyingly carefree James wasn't there, too. As Ava reluctantly lets James try to show her a different way of life in Italy, she begins to find beauty in the chaos. Of course, it's when things begin to make sense again that her past comes storming back.

With a humorously relatable protagonist and a rich Italian setting, this debut novel is an escapist treat and a necessary reminder that life doesn't always care about the plans we've made for ourselves.

Communities are made up of the people who inhabit them. For many years two neighbouring communities lived peacefully side-by-side. One day their leaders start a terrible conflict.

Following many years, both communities are left isolated, impoverished, and in a state of desperation. All the citizens in both communities learn an important lesson in cooperation as they need to work together to conquer the mountain that is threatening the extinction of both communities.

Rita, Carlos, and Lucas were merely friends until a pivotal moment changed everything: they photographed what many in the small town of Caminho da Anta believed to be an alien. Years later, Rita, now thriving as a professional photographer, returns to discover the truth behind that fateful day and its effects on their lives and the community. A troubled photographer, a fame-seeking UFO enthusiast, and a loyal cult member are all in pursuit of answers, but what they find could be more extraordinary than they ever anticipated.
