In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before-and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

The Hunger Games - Hunger Games 1 (Unabridged)

A USA TODAY and New York Times bestseller Perfect for fans of Kasie West and Jenn Bennett, this “sweet and funny” (Kerry Winfrey, author of Waiting for Tom Hanks) teen rom-com follows a hopelessly romantic teen girl and her cute yet obnoxious neighbor as they scheme to get her noticed by her untouchable crush. Perpetual daydreamer Liz Buxbaum gave her heart to Michael a long time ago. But her cool, aloof forever crush never really saw her before he moved away. Now that he’s back in town, Liz will do whatever it takes to get on his radar—and maybe snag him as a prom date—even befriend Wes Bennet. The annoyingly attractive next-door neighbor might seem like a prime candidate for romantic comedy fantasies, but Wes has only been a pain in Liz’s butt since they were kids. Pranks involving frogs and decapitated lawn gnomes do not a potential boyfriend make. Yet, somehow, Wes and Michael are hitting it off, which means Wes is Liz’s in. But as Liz and Wes scheme to get Liz noticed by Michael so she can have her magical prom moment, she’s shocked to discover that she likes being around Wes. And as they continue to grow closer, she must reexamine everything she thought she knew about love—and rethink her own ideas of what Happily Ever After should look like.

In the epic finale to New York Times bestselling author Julie Kagawa’s Shadow of the Fox trilogy, the scroll has been taken, and no one is safe. To save everyone she loves from imminent death, kitsune shapeshifter Yumeko gave up the final piece of the Scroll of a Thousand Prayers. Now she and her ragtag band of companions must make one desperate final effort to stop the Master of Demons from using the scroll to call the Great Kami Dragon and make the wish that will plunge the empire into chaos. Shadow clan assassin Kage Tatsumi has regained control of his body and agreed to a true deal with the devil—the demon inside him, Hakaimono. They will share his body and work with Yumeko to stop a madman, and to separate Hakaimono from Tatsumi and the cursed sword that trapped the demon for nearly a millennium. But even with their combined skills and powers, this unlikely team of heroes knows the forces of evil may be impossible to overcome. And there is another player in the battle for the scroll, a player who has been watching, waiting for the right moment to pull strings that no one even realized existed…until now.

La cova dels dies

Flotes, això és el màxim que has aconseguit. Tens mitja feina, una habitació rellogada i un títol que acredita que ets dels que no poden caure. Però caus. El risc ha entrat a la teva vida sense que el veiessis venir. D'un dia per l'altre tot allò que no et podia passar esdevé real: perds el sostre, perds la feina i et parteixen la cara. Ara la vida ja no va de creure en les regles. Ara tu fabriques l'engany. Entraràs a les cases dels altres. Creuran que hi ets per netejar-les i fer-los la vida amable. El llop que no havies de trobar si feies bondat ets tu. ¿Oi que no tens res a perdre? Després del tríptic sobre la maternitat que l'ha fet mundialment coneguda, Eva Baltasar trastoca el nostre confort mental des d'un altre cantó, el del pacte social quan esdevé terrorista. La seva poesia canta la nit al ras, la inquietud de qui se sap invisible enmig de la ciutat. La seva lucidesa mostra el lloc on es toquen el crim i la devoció. I la seva nova novel·la va prenyada d'un conte on l'horror és la fada que pinta d'or el món.

Locutat per Bernat Quintana, Jordi Boixaderas i Alba Romanyà. El Llibre dels fets és una crònica història única, excepcional. Són les memòries del rei Jaume I el Conqueridor narrades per ell mateix, amb la fluïdesa de l'oralitat i un estil fresc i vívid que interpel·la oients i lectors. Al costat de l'obra de Llull, aquest és un dels grans cims de la literatura catalana medieval. Un dels episodis més coneguts d'aquesta crònica és el de l'engendrament i el naixement de Jaume I, esdevinguts en unes circumstàncies molt especials que marcaran el destí gloriós del futur rei de la Corona de Catalunya i Aragó. Com vaig arribar a ser rei recull aquests episodis i els primers anys de vida, en què el monarca pren consciència del seu lloc en el món, i es perfila la figura que esdevindrà llegendària. Alguns d'aquests episodis, de ressons llegendaris, també els recullen també el recullen les cròniques de Bernat Desclot i Ramon Muntaner, que hem inclòs al final.

Permagel és aquella part de la terra que no es desglaça mai i és la membrana que revesteix l'heroïna d'aquest llibre. Una manera de preservar la part tovíssima que hi ha dins d'una persona en formació. El món exterior amenaça, cal atrevir-se a sortir de la cel·la familiar, desactivar la mare obsessa de la salut, la germana obsessa de la felicitat, negar-se a pagar el deute del que han invertit en tu: no hi ha res a esperar d'una lesbiana suïcida. Després, reunir forces: no fer res més que follar i llegir. Trobar un lloc on la mentida no sigui necessària, on el glaç s'esquerdi. I començar. "La força de la por és la suma de cada petit somni reduït a pols", diu l'heroïna, i es posa a caminar sense agafadors. La seva vida lliure, mortalment sorprenent, tiba de banda a banda d'aquesta novel·la com la corda del funambulista a cent metres d'altura. Eva Baltasar la camina amb el desafiament i l'elegància dels escriptors de raça. La voga de la literatura de dones fa tant més oportuna la publicació d'aquest llibre com la veu que el sosté no té res de tòpicament feminista. Poques obres han sabut parlar com aquesta de què significa viure en un cos dotat d'un cony —paraula lícita en una prosa cruament elegant. Més enllà d'una subtil xarxa de relacions entre dones d'una mateixa família i entre dones amants, la gran protagonista d'aquesta novel·la és la vida com a força que assetja i rebenta l'escut que li oposes —el permagel.

Estripar la terra exposa les mentides del món rural i fa una reflexió de la percepció enganyosa que tenim del nostre entorn. A través de diversos capítols, i en un format inspirat en el manifest, Dunyó estimula el lector a repensar com ens relacionem amb el temps, la terra i el que hi produïm. L'autor analitza també les nostres formes de consum i el vincle amb el nostre estil de vida, mentre rebutja la sobreexplotació, la pressa i la violència contra la natura i contra nosaltres mateixos. Amb un llenguatge evocador i poètic, però alhora amb un estil provocador i sense complexos, ens fa replantejar les prioritats per combatre els discursos de la lògica del capitalisme. És una obra imprescindible per conèixer i entendre aspectes al voltant de la diversitat, l'equilibri i la sostenibilitat que ens farà qüestionar les nostres pròpies dinàmiques i passar a l'acció.

Amb una introducció, notes i una prosposta didàctica de Gemma Coca. Tirant lo Blanc (1490) és una novel·la moderna, completíssima i que ha esdevingut un referent ineludible de la literatura catalana. L'escriptor Mario Vargas Llosa no es va estar de manifestar la seva profunda admiració per l'obra i pel món multiforme que Joanot Martorell hi (re)crea. Afirma que la novel·la és difícil de definir i de classificar: cavalleresca, històrica, eròtica, militar, social, psicològica i, sobretot, molt divertida.
