The Mexico we hear of in the news--the drug cartels, migration and senseless violence--is rich soil for Herrera's moving stories of people who live in this reality but also live in the timeless realm of myth, epic and fairy tale, such as the singer Lobo in Kingdom Cons who loves the drug lord's own daughter, Makina who crosses borders to find her brother in Signs Preceding the End of the World, and the Redeemer, a hard-boiled hero looking to broker peace between feuding families during a pandemic in The Transmigration of Bodies.

These three novels get to the heart of the matter in a truly original way. They are storytelling that is at once timely and timeless.

¡UNA ABEJA!

Con versos vivaces y emotivos de Kirsten Hall y bellas ilustraciones de Isabelle Arsenault, esta celebración de la importantísima abeja es un tesoro tan dulce como la miel en forma de libro ilustrado.

The true story of one of impressionist artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir's most famous paintings, and an astonishing exploration of the rise and fall of a prominent French Jewish family from the Belle epoque to World War II.

Paris, 1881. The artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir knocks on the door of a wealthy Jewish family's home in the 8th arrondissement, the grandest quarter of Paris. He has arrived to paint the portrait of the family's two youngest daughters. The parents, the Cahen d'Anvers, are bankers, collectors, philanthropists, and pillars of Parisian society. They go to balls, breed racehorses, and ride in the Bois de Boulogne with their aristocratic friends. But for the Jewish community, the undercurrents of Parisian sentiment are already moving in a sinister direction. The story of the Renoir girls will end in the duplicity and the horror of the Second World War. With an extraordinary cast of characters, from the girls themselves, their mother's lovers, a heroic British General; from the King of Spain to Dreyfus, Proust, and Maupassant--this is a story about one of the world's most famous pictures, The Pink and the Blue. But really it is a story about Paris--one that prefers to be hidden. With access to never-before-seen letters, diaries, and personal recollections--it is a tale of privilege, beauty, and betrayal almost lost in the shimmering memory of a vanished world.

After all, there's no sweeter gift than celebrating the holidays with family.

A lo largo de una trama que discurre con gran ritmo y precisión, Jane Austen reúne una galería de personajes característicos de toda una época: la dama empeñada en casar a sus hijas con el mejor partido de la región, las hermanas que se debaten con sus vaivenes sentimentales, el clérigo adulador que peca de oportunista... El estudio de caracteres y el análisis de las relaciones humanas basadas en la costumbre, elementos esenciales de la narrativa de la autora, alcanzan en Orgullo y prejuicio cotas de maestría insuperable.

La presente edición incluye una detallada cronología de la autora. Asimismo, recupera la introducción original en Penguin Clásicos de Tony Tanner, que desarrolló su carrera como catedrático de literatura inglesa y norteamericana en la Universidad de Cambridge, y cuyas agudas reflexiones sobre Jane Austen son la mejor guía para adentrarse en el universo literario de esta autora.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Originally published in 1813, Pride and Prejudice is one of the masterpieces of English literature of all time.

Introduction by Tony Tanner, professor at the University of Cambridge.
Translation by Ana Ma Rodríguez.

Throughout a plot that unfolds with great pace and precision, Jane Austen brings together a gallery of characters characteristic of an entire era: the lady determined to marry off her daughters to the best match in the region, the sisters who struggle with their emotional ups and downs, the flattering clergyman who sins by being opportunistic... The study of character and the analysis of human relationships based on custom--essential elements of the author's narrative--reach in Pride and Prejudice heights of unsurpassed mastery.

This edition includes a detailed chronology of the author. It also restores the original introduction from Penguin Clásicos by Tony Tanner, who developed his career as a professor of English and American literature at the University of Cambridge, and whose sharp reflections on Jane Austen are the best guide to entering the literary universe of this author.

A joyous celebration of drums, heartbeats, and the bond between mother and child, by acclaimed African American musician Randy Preston

Bass drum, steel pan, snare . . . is there any kind of drum this little boy's mom can't play? For as long as he can remember, drums have been a big part of their life together. And whether in the living room, the park, or the concert hall, he loves grooving with her. There's something so soothing and special in the beat of each and every drum, which makes him wonder, what was the very first drum he heard?

With rhythmic language mimicking the sounds of drumbeats and joyful illustrations illuminating the feeling of connection they create, this is a unique celebration of music--and motherhood--that families will treasure.

When everything goes wrong for Turtle during the school carnival, he becomes shell-shakingly furious. How will he get through the rest of this obnoxious day?

This second book in the Forest School of Big Feelings series from Lisa Frenkel Riddiough and Andrea Tsurumi offers a relatable look at tackling big feelings, losing with grace, and discovering your own calm in the face of chaos.

The carnival was just beginning.
Turtle had grand plans for winning!

He tried to hit the striker bell
but accidentally whacked his shell.

From arcade games to the beanbag toss,
Turtle's fury grew with each upsetting loss.

What is Turtle to do when his fishing pole breaks, he isn't the winner of the drawing contest, his number isn't chosen during the prize walk, and the arcade machine won't accept his token?

He gets frustrated, flabbergasted, and, of course, furious!

But with help from his teacher Ms. Bunny, Turtle learns how to transform his anger into peace.

In this beguiling memoir of discovery and transformation, a woman walks every street in Santa Cruz County, California, and finds unexpected healing

Angelica Glass spent decades as a social worker helping families struggling with poverty, addiction, abuse and neglect. Needing relief from work-related stress, she turned to walking as an outlet. What began as a way to incorporate more exercise into her busy life transformed into something extraordinary: a years-long odyssey in which Glass drew upon physical exercise, a close observation of the natural world, and long periods of introspection to reconcile with her own past.

Between moments of awe as she explored her community and documented what she saw with her camera, she grappled with the turmoil of her early years in a complicated, challenging family, the aging process, long-held insecurities, and grief.

Whether wandering through residential neighborhoods, over redwood-strewn mountain passes, or along the seashore, Glass found solace and developed a growing sense of peace. By looking to the natural world to suture old wounds -- by scavenging beauty on her terms -- she came to understand what it means to feel whole.

Set between Episodes VIII and IX, Rey and Leia embark on a quest to repair Rey's lightsaber and rekindle the legacy of the Jedi.

After barely escaping the First Order on Crait, Rey and the Resistance are struggling to rebuild. Her friends need the last Jedi more than ever, but Rey feels alone and overwhelmed. Jedi tradition is built on masters and apprentices, and Rey's teacher is gone. Leia Organa tries her best to train Rey in the ways of the Force as Luke did for her so many years ago, but Leia's knowledge is limited, Rey's lightsaber is broken, and the specter of Kylo Ren and regrets from the past haunt them both. How can Leia pass the torch when she herself is unsure of the way?

But then, the ancient Jedi texts offer a glimmer of hope: a long-forgotten Jedi temple on Tython that might hold the key to repairing Rey's saber. Rey leaps at the chance to journey there--and to her surprise, so does Leia.

Rey and Leia's nascent mentorship is put to the test when they discover the temple on Tython is filled with obscure clues to decipher and arcane trials to complete. As they work to unravel the temple's mysteries, they encounter a group of refugees living in its shadow, hiding from a First Order officer hot on the trail of two freedom fighters in their midst. With the threat of the First Order looming and the secrets of the temple yet to be unlocked, the newly forged master and apprentice must confront their pasts, reach each other in the present, and decide what it means to carry the legacy of the Jedi into the future.
