Book Description
Un lujoso hotel victoriano y una trama llena de intriga y humor llevada con mano maestra. Ésta es la obra que lanzó a la fama a Arnold Bennett. La novela nunca ha dejado de reeditarse en Inglaterra y fue la obra que más beneficio económico le reportó de toda su carrera; tuvo un éxito considerabilísimo por su perfecta maquinaria narrativa y su calibrada dosificación de efectos dramáticos. Esta obra es una pieza de entidad notable. Los ambientes, por ejemplo, por los que transitan los personajes de la emocionante intriga (desde el gigantesco hotel de lujo hasta el desolado y complejo ámbito portuario londinense; desde la bolsa y su mar de complejas transacciones hasta los palacios del juego y la diversión) están descritos con mano maestra, ofreciendo un fresco inigualable de la Inglaterra fin de siglo, no inferior a ciertas novelas de mayor entidad dramática. Asimismo, los diálogos poseen el humor, encanto e ingenio del mejor Bennett. Un libro, en suma, de deliciosa lectura, y con el intenso aroma de una Europa añeja e irrepetible.

El autor salvadoreño Mario Bencastro examina temas de guerra, separación y nostalgia en esta colección bilingue de cuentos, poemas y una novela breve. Muchos de sus personajes son forzados a dejar su patria a causa de la violencia y la pobreza. Pero al encontrarse en la tierra prometida, lejos de su familia y amigos en un país cuy lengua y cultura no comprenden, se sienten abrumados por sentimientos de pérdida. En 'El Niño Dragón,' un grupo de huérfanos de la guerra civil salvadoreña se unen para sobrevivir, aún cuando son abusados por explotadores. En 'El Plan,' un exitoso millonario suizo retorna a su nativo El Salvador -- el cual dejó como un huérfano indefenso -- y ejecuta su despiadado plan para vengarse de los responsables del brutal asesinato de su familia. Y en 'De Australia Con Amor,' una emigrante salvadoreña planea casarse con un paisano que conoció en la Internet, hasta que cae en la cuenta de que lo ha visto antes." --From publisher's description.

Book Description
'Better than Pele' - Diego Maradona 'One of the greatest footballers ever.' - Sir Alex Ferguson Pele, Best and Maradona everyone has heard of, but to the true football cognoscenti Alfredo Di Stefano, the magician behind Real Madrid’s five European Cups in a row, is the greatest of them all. Over 20 years, Di Stéfano was the guiding force behind three teams in three countries: at River Plate in his native Argentina; at Millonarios of Bogotá in Colombia; and then in 1953, after one of the most bitter transfer tug-of-wars in sporting history, Real Madrid. There he became football’s first global icon, nicknamed the striking ‘Blond Arrow’ for his powerful stamina, tactical versatility and precision goal scoring. He would lead Madrid as a team whose playing style others learnt from, whose stylishness was envied and whose widespread appreciation elsewhere help portray Franco’s otherwise isolated and right-wing Spain in a more flattering light. By the time he retired, Di Stefano has changed Spain as a nation, culturally and politically, and his rebellious pioneering career set new benchmarks for his sport in the epoch of perhaps football’s greatest transformation. This is his complete story, including candid and exclusive interviews highlighting his journey from humble beginnings to emerging as one of the first global sport superstars that we so commonly see today.

Book Description
The Millionaire Master Plan is a unique and fresh approach as to how individuals can not only get a sense of where they stand on the spectrum of personal wealth, but more importantly, how they can learn to ascend from their present state to a higher level. Roger James Hamilton, himself a highly successful entrepreneur and successful investor, has designed nine steps - from barely surviving - all the way to the highest level of ultimate wealth for life - and he lays out his nine steps in an easy-to-understand color-coded manner that ranges from red (barely living paycheck-to-paycheck) all the way to ultra-violet (where generating income is simply no longer a worry). Along the way, the reader first takes a quick test to determine where one is on the financial spectrum, and then Hamilton provides key insights and practical tips as to how one can progress to the next level. You track your progress by ascending from one color to the next.
