Lovely Green Eyes: A Novel

Resumen del Libro

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.

Sleepy Hollow y otras historias de fantasmas

La historia del 'jinete sin cabeza' ha adquirido gran fama en la cultura popular. Sin embargo, de la imaginación de Washington Irving salieron muchas más historias macabras que hemos reunido en este compendio. Este autor norteamericano, uno de los primeros en su país en ser reconocido por las comunidades literarias europeas, fue una influencia importante para Edgar Allan Poe, y en sus relatos nos narra las historias no solo de jinetes descabezados, sino de hombres suspendidos en el tiempo, e historias de espectros y vampiros que inspiraron a muchos autores posteriores.
