Eli McCullough is just twelve years old when a marauding band of Comanche storm his Texas homestead, brutally murder his mother and sister and take him captive. Despite their torture and cruelty, Eli - against all odds - adapts to life with the Comanche,learning their ways and language, taking on a new name, finding a place as the adopted son of the band's chief and fighting their wars against not only other Indians but white men too, which complicates his sense of loyalty, his promised vengeance andhis very understanding of self. But when disease, starvation and westward expansion finally decimate the Comanche, Eli is left alone in a world in which he belongs nowhere, neither white nor Indian, civilized nor fully wild.Deftly interweaving Eli's story with those of his son Peter and his great-granddaughter JA, The Son maps the legacy of Eli's ruthlessness, his drive to power and his lifelong status as an outsider, even as the McCullough family rises to become one ofthe richest in Texas, a ranching and oil dynasty that is as resilient and dangerous as the land they claim. Yet, like all empires, the McCulloughs must eventually face the consequences of their choices.

My dear Miss Bridgerton, We have been corresponding now for quite some time, and although we have never formally met, I feel as if I know you.

Edición al cuidado de Marisa Sotelo.Daniel el Mochuelo intuye a sus once anos que su camino está en la aldea, junto a sus amigos, sus gentes y sus pájaros. Pero su padre quiere que vaya a la ciudad a estudiar el Bachillerato. A lo largo de la noche que precede a la partida, Daniel,insomne, con un nudo en la garganta, evocará sus correrías con sus amigos -Roque el Monigo y Germán el Tinoso- a través de los campos descubriendo el cielo y la tierra, y revivirá las andanzas de la gente sencilla de la aldea. La simpatía humana con queesa mirada infantil nos introduce en el pueblo, haciéndonos conocer toda una impresionante galería de tipos y la fuerza con que a través de rasgos frecuentemente caricaturescos se nos presentan siempre netos y vivos es uno de los mayores aciertos de estanovela.Feliz evocación de un tiempo cuyo encanto y fascinación advertimos cuando ya se nos ha escapado entre los dedos, El camino es, por su amalgama de nitidez realista, humor sutil, nostalgia contenida e irisación poética no sólo una de las mejores novelas deMiguel Delibes, sino también, como senalaba la crítica, ®una de las obras maestras de la narrativa contemporánea¯.

Many millions of words have already been written about Guns N' Roses, the old line-up, the new line-up. But none of them have ever really gotten to the truth. Which is this: Guns N' Roses has always been a band out of time, the Last of the Giants.They are what every rock band since the Rolling Stones has tried and nearly always failed to be: dangerous. At a time when smiling, MTV-friendly, safe-sex, just-say-no Bon Jovi was the biggest band in the world, here was a band that seemed to have leaptstraight out of the coke-smothered pages of the original, golden-age, late-sixties rock scene.'Live like a suicide', the band used to say when they all lived together in the Hell House, their notorious LA home. And this is where Mick Wall first met them, and became part of their inner circle, before famously being denounced by name by Axl Rose inthe song 'Get in the Ring'.But this book isn't about settling old scores. Written with the clear head that 25 years later brings you, this is a celebration of Guns N' Roses the band, and of Axl Rose the frontman who really is that thing we so desperately want him to be: the lastof the truly extraordinary, all-time great, no apologies, no explanations, no giving-a-shit rock stars. The last of his kind.

A könyv és a 12 perces rajzfilm óvodás és kisiskolás gyerekeknek szól.A nyelvtanulást nem lehet elég korán kezdeni. Az egészen kis korban elkezdett nyelvtanulás során a gyerekek hamar megtapasztalják, hogy egy fogalmat több szóval is ki lehet fejezni, így gondolkodásuk rugalmasabb, elvonatkoztató képességük jobb lesz, sezáltal fejlődik az intelligenciájuk.A rajzfilmek és a képeskönyvek két kisgyerek kalandjait mesélik el, akik megtalálják Ziggyt, a papagájt, és megtanítják beszélni. Sok-sok kalandjuk során a madár megismeri a betűket, számokat, színeket és egyéb hasznos szavakat. Az egyenként 12 percesrajzfilmekkel a gyerekek egyre jobban elsajátítják az angol nyelvet, ha pedig már tudnak olvasni, akkor a könyvben végigkövethetik az adott történetet, amiben egy kis szótár is segítségükre lesz.A sorozat 10 kötetből áll. A könyvek és filmek egymástól függetlenül is élvezhetők, ugyanakkor a bennük lévő tudásanyag egymásra épül.A rendszeres Time for English-mesefogyasztás a legjobbkor és a legjobb módon, ráadásul élményszámba menően kínál biztos angoltudást a kisgyerekeknek.A korai nyelvtanulásnál a gyerekeknek még nem szükséges nyelvtant, kiejtést tanulniuk, az is elég, ha dalokat, verseket, szavakat ismételgetnek. A sok ismétlésnek köszönhetően egyre jobb lesz a kiejtésük, pontosabb a szóhasználatuk, ezáltalfelszabadultabban használják majd a nyelvet a tudatos nyelvtanulás során, az iskolában is.A rajzfilmhez angol és magyar felirat is választható.Az 1. rész tartalma:o Köszönés o Bemutatkozás o Az ABC betűi A-M-ig o Számok 1-10-igA tízéves Lucy és a kilencéves Wiz egy papagájt találnak. A madár nyakában lévő szakadt szalagról kiderül, hogy Ziggynek hívják, de nem tudni, honnan jött. A gyerekek elhatározzák, hogy megkeresik az otthonát. Mivel a papagáj ismételgeti Wizék szavait,úgy döntenek, megtanítják angolul, így majd beszélni tudnak egymással. Lucy és Wiz bemutatkoznak, elkezdik tanítani az ABC betűit a papagájnak, és az ábécékártyák szereplői életre kelnek a mesében. Majd megtanítják Ziggyt 10-ig számolni. A papagájébredés után csak arra emlékszik, hogy szalad Thomas (a macska) elől, és elbújik a Varázsbicikli tárolójában. Hol lehet az otthona?
