Buttocks Man is down on his uppers. His girlfriend, Original Colour, has cleared out of their Paris studio and run off to the Congo with a vertically challenged drummer known as The Mongrel. She's taken their daughter with her. Meanwhile, a racist neighbour spies on him something wicked, accusing him of 'digging a hole in the Dole'. And his drinking buddies at Jips, the Afro-Cuban bar in Les Halles, pour scorn on Black Bazaar, the journal he keeps to log his sorrows. There are days when only the Arab in the corner shop has a kind word; while at night his dreams are stalked by the cannibal pygmies of Gabon. Then again, Buttocks Man wears no ordinary uppers. He has style, bags of it (suitcases of crocodile and anaconda Westons, to be precise). He's a dandy from the Bacongo district of Brazzaville - AKA a sapeur or member of the Society of Ambience-makers and People of Elegance. But is flaunting sartorial chic against tough times enough for Buttocks Man to cut it in the City of Light?
"A writer as comfortable with reality as with fiction, with passion as with reason." --John Le Carré Master novelist Georges Simenon's critically acclaimed tale of the destructive power of lust and guilt "He felt no resentment towards Andree for biting his lip.

Their adulterous affair is intoxicating, passionate--and dangerous. It soon turns into a nightmare from which there can be no escape. Heart-pounding and high-stakes, The Blue Room is a stylish and sensual psychological thriller that weaves a story of cruelty, reckless lust, and relentless guilt.

Now a New Major Motion Picture directed by Durga Chew-Bose and starring Lily McInerny, Chloë Sevigny, and Claes Bang
A sensational 1954 French novel that has become a contemporary classic. Set against the translucent beauty of France in summer, Bonjour Tristesse is a bittersweet tale narrated by Cecile, a seventeen-year-old girl on the brink of womanhood, whose meddling in her father's love life leads to tragic consequences.
Endearing, self-absorbed, seventeen-year-old Cécile is the very essence of untroubled amorality. Freed from the stifling constraints of boarding school, she joins her father--a handsome, still-young widower with a wandering eye--for a carefree, two-month summer vacation in a beautiful villa outside of Paris with his latest mistress. Cécile cherishes the free-spirited moments she and her father share, while plotting her own sexual adventures with a "tall and almost beautiful" law student. But the arrival of her late mother's best friend intrudes upon a young girl's pleasures. And when a relationship begins to develop between the adults, Cécile and her lover set in motion a plan to keep them apart...with tragic, unexpected consequences.
The internationally beloved story of a precocious teenager's attempts to understand and control the world around her, Françoise Sagan's Bonjour Tristesse is a beautifully composed, wonderfully ambiguous celebration of sexual liberation, at once sympathetic and powerfully unsparing.
This edition includes an introduction by Diane Johnson.
SI ADORAS LOS LIBROS, ÉSTE NO TE LO PUEDES PERDER
Un verano. Dos rivales. Un giro de guion que no vieron venir...
Un fenómeno mundial de TikTok.
Más de 100 semanas en la lista de los libros más vendidos del New York Times.
Eran rivales.
Ahora coinciden todo un verano en el mismo pueblo.
La historia puede sorprenderles a ambos.
La vida de Nora Stephens son los libros; es una astuta agente literaria con fama de tiburón que pelea por las obras y los contratos de cada uno de sus autores. Solo existe una cosa en el mundo por encima de su trabajo: su hermana menor, Libby, de quien ha cuidado desde que su madre falleció cuando eran adolescentes. La adora, y por ello acepta abandonar Nueva York para pasar el mes de agosto con ella en el encantador pueblo de Sunshine Falls, un lugar de novela donde Libby pretende obligarla a desconectarse y, quizá, a conectar con alguien.
Sin embargo, con lo que ninguna de las dos cuenta es con toparse con Charlie Lastra, un editor con el que Nora ya ha tenido más de un encuentro y que amenaza con convertirse en una presencia constante durante sus vacaciones.
A veces, ni siquiera una agente literaria y un editor son capaces de escribir su propia historia.
PREMIO GOODREADS A MEJOR COMEDIA ROMÁNTICA.
«UNA DE MIS AUTORAS FAVORITAS.» Colleen Hoover
«La comedia romántica perfecta. Probablemente la mejor novela de Emily Henry.» Taylor Jenkins Reid, autora de Los siete maridos de Evelyn Hugo
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
IF YOU LOVE BOOKS, YOU CAN'T MISS THIS ONE
One summer. Two rivals. A plot twist they didn't see coming...
A worldwide TikTok phenomenon.
Over 100 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list.
They were rivals.
Now, they're spending an entire summer in the same town.
The story might surprise them both.
Nora Stephens's life is all about books; she's a savvy literary agent known for her fierce dedication to her authors' works and contracts. There is only one thing in the world she values above her job: her younger sister, Libby, whom she has cared for since their mother passed away when they were teenagers. She adores her, and that's why she agrees to leave New York to spend August with her in the charming town of Sunshine Falls, a storybook place where Libby hopes to force her to unwind and maybe even connect with someone.
However, neither of them expects to run into Charlie Lastra, an editor with whom Nora has already had more than one encounter and who threatens to become a constant presence during their vacation.
Sometimes, not even a literary agent and an editor can write their own story.
"ONE OF MY FAVORITE AUTHORS." Colleen Hoover
"The perfect romantic comedy. Probably the best novel by Emily Henry." Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
Incluso las amistades más profundas atraviesan momentos difíciles, pero un amigo de verdad siempre encuentra una solución (¡specialmente cuando hay galletas de por medio!). Un libro delicioso e inteligente, traducido al español por su autora. Bookie y Cookie son mejores amigos. Les encanta pasar tiempo juntos, leyendo y comiendo galletas. Pero siempre se juntan en casa de Cookie... hasta el día en que Bookie insiste en quedarse en su casa. Cookie se niega; no quiere probar nada nuevo. Así que ahora Bookie y Cookie están cada uno por su lado, y las cosas que solían hacer juntos ya no son tan divertidas. Podrán los dos amigos atreverse a probar cosas nuevas para salvar su amistad? Even the best friendships have rough moments, but a true friend will always find a way to compromise (especially when cookies are involved!) - a scrumptious and clever read-aloud, translated into Spanish by the author.
Bookie and Cookie are best friends. They love to spend time together, reading books and snacking on treats. But whenever this happens, it's always at Cookie's home . . . until the day when Bookie insists on getting together at his home instead. Cookie refuses: He doesn't want to try something new. And now Bookie and Cookie are both alone, and the activities they used to enjoy together aren't nearly as much fun. Can the two buddies each try something new for the sake of their friendship?

A masterpiece of our times, inviting us to discover a new language for communicating with nature and receiving its lessons.

A beautifully observed and moving account of love and the human spirit in the Soviet era
In Soviet Russia the desire for freedom is also a desire for the freedom to love. Lovers live as outlaws, traitors to the collective spirit, and love is more intense when it feels like an act of resistance. Now entering middle age, an orphan recalls the fleeting moments that have never left him-a scorching day in a blossoming orchard with a woman who loves another; a furtive, desperate affair in a Black Sea resort; the bunch of snowdrops a crippled childhood friend gave him to give to his lover. As the dreary Brezhnev era gives way to perestroika and the fall of Communism, the orphan uncovers the truth behind the life of Dmitri Ress, whose tragic fate embodies the unbreakable bond between love and freedom.
An ideal introduction to English and Spanish, Roger Priddy's Bright Baby: Words/Palabras is a first learning book for children to develop bilingual skills.
With exciting touch and feel textures of colorful objects for your baby to discover through sliding windows, this interactive book offers children the opportunity to learn vocabulary in two languages from an early age.
