El Ultimo Tango de Salvador Allende

Roberto — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 17:46:00 +0000

Autor: Roberto Ampuero

Precio: $14.000

Nadie responde en la casa de los comandantes en jefe de las Fuerzas Armadas y todo indica que el golpe de Estado está en marcha. Salvador Allende se dirige a palacio. Y Rufino, asistente personal del presidente, viejo compañero de un taller anarquista, gran amante del tango ‘afición que comparte con el mandatario’, escribe en un cuaderno escolar la historia de la tragedia que se avecina.

Muchos años después, ya derrumbados los muros de la Guerra Fría, ese mismo cuaderno ve la luz cuando inesperadamente llega a las manos de David Kurtz, exagente de la CIA, quien a través de sus páginas irá descubriendo no solo la vida íntima del presidente, sino también secretos inimaginables de su propio pasado.

Con talento y maestría, Roberto Ampuero nos entrega una novela apasionante sobre la lealtad y la traición, la honestidad y la impudicia, el amor y el desamor, el bien y el mal que se cuelan en el alma y la historia de los hombres.

Choque de Reyes: Canción de Hielo y Fuego 2

Roberto — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 17:43:10 +0000

Autor: George RR Martin

Precio: $21.000

Un cometa del color de la sangre hiend

e el cielo, cargado de malos augurios. Y hay razones sobradas para pensar así: los Siete Reinos se ven sacudidos por las luchas intestinas entre los nobles por la sucesión al Trono de Hierro. En la otra orilla del mar Angosto, la princesa Daenerys Targaryen conduce a su pueblo de jinetes salvajes a través del desierto. Y en los páramos helados del norte, más allá del Muro, un ejército implacable avanza hacia un territorio asolado por el caos y una sucesión interminable de guerras intestinas.

He aquí la esperada continuación de Juego de tronos, segundo volumen de Canción de hielo y fuego, la saga fantástica que ha conquistado a millones de lectores en todo el mundo. «Ahora hay más reyes en el reino que ratas en un castillo», afirma uno de los personajes de Choque de reyes. Y es que después de la sospechosa muerte de Robert Baratheon, el monarca de los Siete Reinos, su hijo Joffrey ha sido impuesto por la fuerza, aunque «quienes realmente gobiernan son su madre, un eunuco y un enano», como dice la voz del pueblo. Cuatro nobles se proclaman, a la vez, reyes legítimos, y las tierras de Poniente se estremecen entre guerras y traiciones. Y todo este horror se encuentra presidido por la más ominosa de las señales: un inmenso cometa color sangre suspendido en el cielo. En esta novela prodigiosa nada es realmente lo que parece ser. Los protagonistas, trazados con una complejidad asombrosa, son capaces de hacerse amar, u odiar, desde las primeras páginas. George R. R. Martin, con pulso firme y enérgico, vuelve a ofrecernos un brillante despliegue de personajes, en una trama rica, densa y sorprendente. Nos convierte en testigos de luchas fratricidas, intrigas y traiciones palaciegas en una tierra maldita por la guerra, donde fuerzas ocultas se alzan de nuevo y acechan para reinar en las noches del largo invierno que se avecina.
