Описание:

Bajo la Estrella Polar es una nueva epopeya histуrica de la premiada autora de La ternura de los lobos, especialmente recomendada para fans de Donna Tartt, Sarah Waters o Jessie Burton.

Flora Mackie cruzу por primera vez el Cнrculo Polar Бrtico a la edad de doce aсos. En 1889, esta hija de un capitбn ballenero de Dundee (Escocia), apodada por la prensa La Reina de las Nieves, se propuso convertirse en cientнfica y exploradora. Tras luchar con ahнnco para hacerse respetar, su determinaciуn y una serie de circunstancias fortuitas la conducen de nuevo al norte de Groenlandia al frente una expediciуn britбnica, pese a que muchos opinan que no hay lugar para una joven en ese inhуspito mundo dominado por hombres.

El geуlogo Jakob de Beyn naciу y se crio en Manhattan. Deseoso de ampliar sus horizontes, se une a una expediciуn rival encabezada por el ambicioso Lester Armitage. Serб en el Бrtico donde su camino y el de Flora se crucen fatнdicamente.

Flora, Jakob y Armitage comparten una pasiуn obsesiva por el Polo Norte, una regiуn en la que se dan los contrastes mбs violentos: la noche perpetua y el dнa infinito; el mar helado y las praderas costeras; la deslealtad y el heroнsmo. En su afбn implacable por liderar la exploraciуn del Бrtico, Armitage conduce a sus hombres a una misiуn cuyo trбgico desenlace seguirб dando que hablar durante aсos.

Описание: In a hospital bed, small-time private detective Ray Lovell veers between paralysis and delirium. But before the accident that landed him there, he'd been hired to find Rose Janko, the estranged daughter of a traveling Gypsy family, who went missing seven years earlier.

Half Romany himself, Ray is well aware that he's been chosen more for his blood than for his investigative skills. Still, he's surprised by the intense hostility he encounters from the Jankos, who haven't had an easy past. Touched by tragedy, they're either cursed or hiding a terrible secret--the discovery of which Ray can't help suspecting is connected to Rose's disappearance...

Seamlessly toggling between Ray's past and present, and the perspective of the missing woman's young nephew JJ, Stef Penney builds a gripping page-turner that doesn't let go until its shocking end.

Описание: THE TWENTY ETUDES FOR PIANO were composed during the years from 1991 to 2012. Their final configuration into Book 1 and Book 2 was determined by the music itself in the course of its composition.

Book 1 (Etudes 1-10) had a twin objective - to explore a variety of tempi, textures and piano techniques. At the same time it was meant to serve as a pedagogical tool by which I would improve my piano playing. In these two ways, Book 1 succeeded very well. I learned a great deal about the piano and in the course of learning the music, I became a better player.

New projects came along and interrupted the work on the Etudes for several years. Perhaps for that reason, when I took up work with the Etudes again I found the music was following a new path. Though I had settled questions of piano technique for myself in Book 1, the music in Book 2 quickly began to suggest a series of new adventures in harmony and structure.

In this way, Books 1 and 2, taken together, suggest a real trajectory that includes a broad range of music and technical ideas.

In the end, the Etudes are meant to be appreciated not only by the general listener, but especially by those who have the ability and patience to learn, play and perform the music themselves.
