Book summary:
Patrick Bateman moves among the young and trendy in 1980s Manhattan. Young, handsome, and well educated, Bateman earns his fortune on Wall Street by day while spending his nights in ways we cannot begin to fathom. Expressing his true self through torture and murder, Bateman prefigures an apocalyptic horror that no society could bear to confront.
Blurb in Spanish: Mucho se ha hablado de American Psycho. Y lo cierto es que había razón para tanta polémica, pues esta novela de Bret Easton Ellis constituye una de las críticas más feroces que un escritor norteamericano ha hecho a su propio país: una sociedad autocomplaciente y orgullosa de si misma. Para su denuncia, el autor ha escogido un camino arriesgado: Patrick Bateman, el protagonista, no es un rebelde ni un paria; Patrick es un joven de éxito que, sin embargo, también es capaz de violar, torturar y asesinar. Como dijo Fay Weldom, American Psycho es de alguna forma el oscuro complemento de La hoguera de las vanidades, por cuanto descubre aquellos puntos negros de la vida de los supuestos triunfadores que la novela de Tom Wolfe quiso obviar.

Book summary:
Distinguished poet and critic John Hollander offers, for the first time ever, a buoyant guided tour of American light verse-a tradition he delightfully pursues from Ambrose Bierce's sardonic The Devil's Dictionary quatrains to the latter-day comic inventions of Edward Gorey, Kenneth Koch, and James Merrill. Along the way, American Wits gathers a rich harvest of couplets, clerihews, epigrams, parodies, burlesques, and other forms of fractured verse. The varied and often surprising list of contributors includes Edwin Arlington Robinson, Don Marquis, T. S. Eliot, Christopher Morley, Dorothy Parker, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ogden Nash, Phyllis McGinley, and Anthony Hecht. [via]

Book summary:
Here is the third installment in a series of reference books, all written by Dr. and Mr. Doris Haggis-on-Whey, a team of highly energized and deeply focused scientists with over sixty-seven combined years of experience at their command, including six months spent lifting awkwardly-sized boxes.

Animals of the Ocean advances many heretofore unexplored discoveries and opinions, including squid dating dos and don'ts, why squid are not at all able to watch television in black and white, the ways in which people who don't know any better might think fish are not animals, the long-term effects of salt water on musical theater, and also the adventure of Gunther.

Animals of the Ocean, in Particular the Giant Squid comes with a foil-stamped and leather-inspired cover. Its pages are full color and illustrated without reserve. This book does not contain a warning label, but if it did, it would advise readers to enjoy its pages only in small and furtive doses, such as while waiting your turn at tetherball.

Book summary:
The Adventures of Asterix (French: Asterix or Asterix le Gaulois) is a series of French comic books written by Rene Goscinny and illustrated by Albert Uderzo (Uderzo also took over the job of writing the series after the death of Goscinny in 1977). The series first appeared in French in the magazine Pilote on 29 October 1959. As of 2008, 33 comic books in the series have been released.
The series follows the exploits of a village of ancient Gauls as they resist Roman occupation. They do so by means of a magic potion, brewed by their druid, which gives the recipient superhuman strength. The protagonist, the titular character, Asterix, along with his friend Obelix have various adventures. In many cases, this leads them to travel to various countries around the world, though other books are set in and around their village. For much of the history of the series (Volumes 4 through 29), settings in Gaul and abroad alternated, with even-numbered volumes set abroad and odd-numbered volumes set in Gaul, mostly in the village.
The Asterix series is one of the most popular Franco-Belgian comics in the world, with the series being translated into over 100 languages, and it is popular in most European countries.
The success of the series has led to the adaptation of several books into 11 films; eight animated, and three with live actors. There have also been a number of games based on the characters, and a theme park near Paris, Parc Asterix, is themed around the series. To date, 325 million copies of 33 Asterix books have been sold around the world making co-creators Rene Goscinny and Albert Uderzo France's bestselling authors abroad. [via]

Hardcover, Collins

› Find signed collectible books: 'Fillets of Plaice'
Book summary:
Durrell's hilarious and warm My Family and Other Animals (1957) began a trio of reminiscences of his life growing up with a slightly dotty family the overbearing and omniscient Larry; the affectionate and loving siblings, Margot and Leslie; and, of course, the overburdened and patient Mother on the island of Corfu in the 1930s, when a pound could buy a villa and life was conducted as a series of riotously high (and sometimes low) adventures. But what shines through these five vignettes is the author's engagement with and immense affection for animals in all their forms. From fish to fowl, from lizards to little water fleas (daphnia), Durrell's eye is acute and his prose is tart. You can read this book for the humor alone (for he did perceive his family as some rare and rarefied species), but between the lines you can discern the makings of a world-class naturalist and a cultivated and engaging writer.

Giraffes? Giraffes!

Book summary:
For many years the scientific and educational community has wondered and worried about the possibility that semi-sane scholar pretenders would find the means to put out a series of reference books aimed at children but filled with ludicrous misinformation. These books would be distributed through respectable channels and would inevitably find their way into the hands and households of well-meaning families, who would go to them for facts but instead find bizarre untruths. The books would look normal enough, but would read as if written by people who have eaten too many lead-based paint chips.
Well, sadly, that day is upon us. We offer to you the first in a proposed series of 377 reference books, all written by a couple, Dr. and Mr. Doris Haggis-on-Whey, married 50 years and now getting their chance to twist and tickle the brains of the impressionable.
Giraffes? Giraffes! is the first in the series, and puts forth the following novel theories: that giraffes were not part of any evolutionary chain, but came here from Neptune, by way of very long (but convenient and fast) escalators; that giraffes are expert dancers, but they become angry if you ask them about their dancing; that giraffes control over 90% of what we see in mirrors; that the Giraffe Navy is as strong as ever, contrary to recent claims in the popular press.
This is a book to be feared. If you have young people in your life, keep it far away from them.
Giraffes? Giraffes! is a 9" x 12" hardcover reference book, with 64 lavishly-illustrated pages, and includes a set of giraffe trading cards carefully attached to the inside back cover. Cover is blue faux-leather, de-bossed with gold foil detail and a special 4-color illustration.
Doctor-approved for all age groups. [via]

A book that brings together race riots and Scottish folklore, The Good Fairies of New York is anything but a typical fairy fantasy.

Book summary:
A lush, cautionary tale of a life of vileness and deception or a loving portrait of the aesthetic impulse run rampant? Why not both? After Basil Hallward paints a beautiful, young man's portrait, his subject's frivolous wish that the picture change and he remain the same comes true. Dorian Gray's picture grows aged and corrupt while he continues to appear fresh and innocent. After he kills a young woman, "as surely as if I had cut her little throat with a knife", Dorian Gray is surprised to find no difference in his vision or surroundings. "The roses are not less lovely for all that. The birds sing just as happily in my garden."
As Hallward tries to make sense of his creation, his epigram-happy friend Lord Henry Wotton encourages Dorian in his sensual quest with any number of Wildean paradoxes, including the delightful "When we are happy we are always good, but when we are good we are not always happy." But despite its many languorous pleasures, The Picture of Dorian Gray is an imperfect work. Compared to the two (voyeuristic) older men, Dorian is a bore, and his search for ever new sensations far less fun than the novel's drawing-room discussions. Even more oddly, the moral message of the novel contradicts many of Wilde's supposed aims, not least "no artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style." Nonetheless, the glamour boy gets his just deserts. And Wilde, defending Dorian Gray, had it both ways: "All excess, as well as all renunciation, brings its own punishment." [via]

Book summary:
El joven Tristan Thorn está dispuesto a hacer cualquier cosa para conquistar el frío corazón de su amada Victoría, incluso a prometerle que le conseguirá la estrella que ambos ven caer una noche. Para cumplir su palabra, Tristán deberá cruzar el muro que separa su pueblo del País de las Hadas, un vasto territorio donde nada se parece a lo que él ha conocido, donde ni siquiera las estrellas tienen forma de estrella y donde los duendes y los espectros campan a sus anchas. En ese mágico lugar, el joven no sólo hará cambiar su futuro, sino que también descubrirá cosas de su pasado que no podía imaginar. Con la ayuda de un unicornio, un barco pirata que surca el cielo, un árbol muy sabio y una florecita de cristal... ¿conseguirá Tristan el amor de su dama? / Gaiman, author of a Neverwhere and the graphic novel series ""The Sandman,"" has created an original and well-written fairy tale.

Tristran crosses the border into Faerie and encounters witches, unicorns, and other strange creatures.

Book summary:
Aprés avoir eu la bonne idée de ressortir en 1981 TINTIN AU PAYS DES SOVIETS en fac-similé afin de contrer les éditions pirates, Casterman en a eu une autre en continuant la sortie de fac-similé des albums Noir et blanc. Pour tintin en Amérique nous avons 2 éditions. Voici la première reprenant l'édition du "Petit Vingtième", ne comportant pas de hors-texte en couleur. Sortie en 1983, elle n'intéressera pas les collectionneurs fortunés qui préférent les originaux. Mais pour les autres qui ne peuvent se le permettre, quelle satisfaction de tenir entre les mains un album tel que celui de 1932, même format, même papier, mais à l'état neuf et pour un prix modique. Alors, ne boudons pas notre plaisir. [via]

Book summary:
"Vanity Fair" is a story of two heroines--one humble, the other scheming and social-climbing--who meet in boarding school and embark on markedly different lives. Amid the swirl of London's posh ballrooms and affairs of love and war, their fortunes rise and fall. Through it all, Thackeray lampoons the shallow values of his society, reserving the most pointed barbs for the upper crust. What results is a prescient look at the dogged pursuit of wealth and status--and the need for humility. [via]

Earthy, magical, and utterly charming, this tale of family life in turn-of-the-century Mexico became a best-selling phenomenon with its winning blend of poignant romance and bittersweet wit.

While still in her mother's womb, her daughter to be weeps so violently she causes an early labor, and little Tita slips out amid the spices and fixings for noodle soup. This early encounter with food soon becomes a way of life, and Tita grows up to be a master chef. She shares special points of her favorite preparations with listeners throughout the story.

Book summary:
«Un sentimiento de honda melancolía invade al director de escena que, sentado frente al telón, observa la bulliciosa animación de la Feria. En ella se come y se bebe en exceso, se ama y se coquetea, se ríe y se llora...». Acompañados por estas palabras, que inauguran La feria de las vanidades, los lectores nos trasladamos a otro lugar y otra época para entrar en el recinto de la Feria y disfrutar, nosotros también, de uno de los mejores retratos de la sociedad inglesa de principios del siglo XIX.

La mirada desencantada e irónica del director de escena no es otra que la de William M. Thackeray, maestro en el arte de crear personajes femeninos. Así, pronto veremos pisar el escenario a dos mujeres inolvidables: Amelia Sedley, dulce y sensible pero apocada, deseosa de entregar su vida al hombre que ama, y Becky Sharp, inteligente y ambiciosa, dispuesta a usar y abusar de sus encantos para ascender en la escala social. Estas figuras tópicas cobran vida en manos de Thackeray, y lo que podría ser la trama de un culebrón de sobremesa se convierte en un juego fascinante, lleno de trampas y de emoción, en una obra magistral de la literatura de todos los tiempos.

This comic novel, which merges reality with fantasy, is about the world of radio soap operas and the pitfalls of forbidden passion. Sophisticated, divorced Aunt Julia is looking for a new mate who can support her in a lavish lifestyle. Instead, she falls into an affair with her nephew, shocking both her family and community.
Description in Spanish: "Un joven aspirante a escritor sueña con irse a París a escribir una novela. Conoce a su tía Julia quien era boliviana y divorciada.
Varguitas trabaja en el noticiero de una estación de radio. Ahí conoce a Pedro Camacho, quien se considera a sí mismo un "artista", pues es escritor de radioteatros. La novela cuenta con dos líneas argumentales paralelas: una, las historias melodramáticas escritas por Pedro Camacho y, otra, la de amor entre Varguitas y su tía (sus encuentros furtivos, el miedo a que el padre de Varguitas y el resto de la familia los descubrieran), que resulta más melodramática que las otras."

Book summary:
Patrick Bateman est un jeune homme riche, beau et intelligent. Un golden boy de Wall Street à qui tout réussit. Il est par ailleurs parfaitement au fait des techniques de nettoyage et désincrustage de la peau les plus efficaces, il s'applique les meilleures crèmes pour le visage, ne porte que des vêtements de grands couturiers, utilise les derniers gadgets technologiques et passe ses soirées au Tunnel, la boîte branchée du moment. Bien sûr, tous ses amis sont comme lui.
La seule différence, c'est qu'en plus Patrick Bateman viole, torture et tue. Mais il ne ressent jamais rien. Juste une légère contrariété lorsque ses scénarii ne se déroulent pas exactement comme prévu. À sa sortie en 1991, le roman d'Ellis suscita une vive émotion, aussi bien à cause de ses scènes d'horreur décrites quasi cliniquement que de son principal personnage, Bateman, symbole de la réussite économique, enfant prodige travesti en tueur sadique et immoral. Il faut dire qu'Ellis s'attaque de front à tous les excès de superficialité de l'Occident contemporain : sexe, culte du corps, de la richesse et de la jeunesse. Une entreprise de destruction commencée très tôt avec son premier roman Moins que zéro écrit alors qu'il avait 22 ans et que l'on retrouve dans Glamorama. Bret Easton Ellis ou l'art de mettre de l'acide sur les plaies béantes de la société. --Stellio Paris [via]

Book summary:
Métaphore de l'existence par les simples figures de l'arbre et de l'homme, L'Arbre généreux est l'histoire "d'un arbre qui aimait un petit garçon". Le petit garçon devient jeune homme, le jeune homme un adulte, l'adulte un vieillard. À chaque étape de son existence, l'homme trouve auprès de l'arbre le réconfort nécessaire lui permettant de poursuivre sa quête sur le chemin de la vie.
L'illustration pleine page monochrome joue de la disproportion de l'arbre et de l'enfant. Le trait discret de Silverstein, auteur et illustrateur américain, peut rappeler celui d'un Sempé ou d'un Piem. Quelques traits de plume suffisent à faire surgir sur la page l'intensité de la relation d'intimité entre le jeune garçon et l'arbre. Dans ce face-à-face, l'arbre est rendu aussi expressif que l'enfant. De fait, le lien qui unit l'enfant à l'arbre est profond, c'est-à-dire que cet attachement n'est pas seulement sensible, il est aussi le lieu d'une interrogation sur notre sort car l'arbre ne peut donner à l'homme que ce qu'il a. En retour, ce qui fait la grandeur de l'homme, c'est précisément la prise de conscience de cette richesse. Une très beau conte d'essence philosophique pour tous les publics. À partir de 5 ans. --Denis Gombert [via]
