Lovely Green Eyes: A Novel

Resumen del Libro

Libro Lovely Green Eyes: A Novel

Fifteen-year-old Hanka Kaudersov has ginger hair and clear, green eyes. When her family is deported to Auschwitz, her mother, father and younger brother are sent to the gas chamber. By a twist of fate, Hanka is faced with a simple alternative: follow her family, or work in an SS brothel behind the eastern front. She chooses to live, her Aryan looks allowing her to disguise the fact that she is Jewish. As the German army retreats from the Russian front, Hanka battles cold, hunger, fear, and shame, sustained by her hatred for the men she entertains, her friendship with the mysterious Estelle, and her fierce, burning desire for life. Lovely Green Eyes explores the compromises and sacrifices that an individual may make in order to survive, the way a woman can retain her identity in the face of appalling trauma, and the value of human life itself. This is a remarkable novel, which soars beyond nightmare, leaving the reader with a transcendent sense of hope. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fiction—novels, novellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

Libro Televisión (Caballo de Troya 2017, 3)

Esta novela es una ficción de la memoria. La memoria de los novecientos trabajadores despedidos de una televisión autonómica, arrojados a la calle en plena crisis económica. Con la prosa serena y limpia de María Cabrera, Televisión nos introduce en el engranaje de ese ente que habita nuestras casas, haciendo un recorrido por las vidas de los que formaron parte de ella, de los que lucharon por evitar el desmantelamiento, de los pocos que quedaron, aislados, ajenos en la nueva realidad de un edificio que fue de todos. Henar, principal personaje de este mosaico de recuerdos, mostrará sin...

El colapso

Libro El colapso

El colapso habla de una crisis que ha llegado a formar parte de nuestras vidas. Las aburridas vidas de unos personajes tristes y anodinos obligados a dejar la existencia biológica a cambio de una "vida extra" en un sistema virtual de consumo, sirve de pretexto para buscar respuestas y proponer modelos alternativos a la actual vorágine capitalista dominante. Una metáfora de la sociedad moderna, cuya deriva bien podría llevarnos a su transformación en una serie de ceros y unos, en un futuro como el que aquí se describe, no tan lejano y más que probable.
