Gaiman, Neil

There is a hint of Armageddon in the air. According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (recorded, thankfully, in 1655, before she blew up her entire village and all its inhabitants, who had gathered to watch her burn), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. So the Armies of Good and Evil are massing, the four Bikers of the Apocalypse are revving up their mighty hogs and hitting the road, and the world's last two remaining witchfinders are getting ready to Fight the Good Fight. Atlantis is rising. Frogs are falling. Tempers are flaring, and everything appears to be going to Divine Plan.Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not particularly looking forward to the coming Rapture. They've lived amongst Humanity for millennia, and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle. So if Crowley and Aziraphale are going to stop it from happening, they've got to find and kill the AntiChrist (which is a shame, really, as he's a nice kid). There's just one glitch: someone seems to have misplaced him.Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's brilliantly dark and funny take on mankind's final judgment is back, in a new hardcover edition which includes an introduction by the authors.

Maradona en Humahuaca

Chilet, Vicent

Esta crónica que traspasa géneros traza el retrato literario de veinticinco goles, trascendentes y anóni-mos, envueltos por una historia que los hace eternos. Los tantos seleccionados proponen un viaje a las dos guerras mundiales, a desérticas latitudes andinas, a las prisiones del Apartheid sudafricano, al barro inglés, a los campos de tierra de provincias, a la Alemania de la Stasi, a la Corea del Norte que derrotó a Italia en el Mundial del 66, al 12-1 que encajó Malta en el 83 o al sanguinario Chile de Pinochet. Goles, incluso, fantasmagóricos como los de Maradona en Humahuaca, aquel «alejado rinconcito de la patria» que visitó la todopoderosa selección argentina del 86 para preparar el Mundial. A los lectores de Vicent Chilet no les extrañará que en este libro asalten a cada paso conceptos a priori alejados del fútbol: de la Gestapo nazi al dic-tador Videla, del futurismo a Pink Floyd, de Bolaño a Babe Ruth, de la homofobia a Schopenhauer, de la mafia a la Gran Depresión, de Iwo Jima a Ken Loach. «La sociedad de consumo -escribe el autor- nos empuja hacia un ideal de felicidad basado en la acumulación material. En la religión se busca la certeza abstracta de un consuelo. Pero solo el gol, ese atávico rugido colectivo sin previo aviso, dispara los niveles de serotonina de toda una comunidad». Finalista del Premio Panenka al Mejor Libro de Fútbol «Todo aquel que quiera contar una historia debe manchar sus botas de polvo, cruzar fronteras, saber escuchar y saber preguntar, como Vicent Chilet, trotamundos incansable con ojos de niño». _Toni Padilla

The vorrh

Catling, Brian

The Vorrh follows a brilliant cast of characters through a parallel Africa where fact, fiction, and fantasy collide. Tsungali, a native marksman conscripted by the colonial authorities--against whom he once led a revolt--is on the hunt for an English bowman named Williams. Williams has made it his mission to become the first human to traverse the Vorrh, a vast forest at the edge of the colonial city of Essenwald. The Vorrh is endless, eternal, a place of demons and angels. Sentient, oppressive, and magical, the Vorrh can bend time and wipe a person's memory. Between the hunter and the hunted are Ishmael, a curious and noble Cyclops raised by Bakelite robots, the evil Dr. Hoffman, who punishes the son of a servant by surgically inverting his hands, and the slave owner MacLeish, who drives his workers to insanity, only to pay the ultimate price. Along with these fictional creations, Brian Catling mixes in historical figures, including surrealist Raymond Roussel and photographer and Edward Muybridge. In this author's hands none of this seems exotic or fantastical. It all simply is.
