Don Quijote de la Mancha
“Celebrar una nueva edición de Don Quijote de la Mancha supone presentar lo mejor de la historia española y uno de los grandes episodios de la cultura occidental, una cultura abierta, sólo válida cuando sabe dialogar con las otras culturas. Los clásicos se mantienen vivos porque nos ayudan a comprender el pasado, pero también porque saben relacionarse con el presente y seguir conversando con el mundo.
Las aventuras de este libro y los diálogos entre don Quijote y Sancho nos invitan a seguir hablando sobre los destinos del ser humano, los retos que hay en cada conflicto y en cada decisión, las bondades y los peligros de la convivencia, la manera que tiene el amor de iluminar el mundo o de inducir a engaños, la responsabilidad que late en cada uno de nuestros actos. Porque, al final, es la ética humana y el compromiso con la justicia lo que nos conmueve en cada episodio, ya sea fruto de un error o de la lucidez, de una ilusión certera o de un equívoco. Las lejanas llanuras de la Mancha aspiran a convertirse en un lugar habitable para cualquier lector, más allá de los kilómetros y los siglos”. – Luis García Montero

The Later Adventures of Hanuman | 40 fantastical tales of Hanuman’s adventures after the age of Rama | Mythological fiction
The day Hanuman watched his beloved Rama walk into the river Sarayu—at the end of an 11,000-year reign—was one of the most heartbreaking days of his life. Having been granted the boon of immortality, Hanuman is blessed to live on Earth as long as the Ramayana is told and remembered. And so, to heal his grief, he begins to travel all over the world and has many adventures, thrilling and unexpected, ensuring that the Ramayana is never forgotten.
In this collection of forty exciting tales, read how Hanuman, the monkey-god, vanquishes the thousand-headed Ahiravana, defeats a giant wasp-demoness, races with Garuda to see who is the fastest and has many other escapades.
Action-packed and fast-paced, these reimagined stories of chiranjeevi Hanuman’s later adventures are magical, heart-warming and bittersweet. Continuing the traditional folk practice of inventing adventures for Hanuman, Amit Majmudar takes us along on the monkey-god’s long and lonely, and rollickingly eventful, immortality.
The Talking Book
Are you ready to solve one of the world’s biggest mysteries: how we talk?
The story of communication begins in prehistoric times, gallops through the dark arts, untranslatable words and languages brought back from the dead, and arrives in the age of AI. Along the way, we meet outstanding characters—the one-word man, the 400-word monkey and the million-word computer—who play their part in the development of language.
Every tale in this book holds a clue to the gigantic puzzle of the evolution of language that has hypnotized brilliant minds over time. Handprints of not-quite-humans on ancient cave walls, secrets buried in ash from a seven-year-long winter, forbidden experiments by kings on babies and even a rogue gene hiding in your DNA—how do they all piece together?
WARNING: Enjoy the rollercoaster ride of language, hilarious histories and crazy quizzes, but ignore the wise-cracking dog who will insist he wrote this book.
