Hardback. Zustand: Good. I read The Wonders in one page-turning night . . . This book achieves a rare combination of novelistic plotting and virtuosic interiority that left me rooting for Maria and Alicia as if I'd known them all my life. --Anna Solomon, author of The Book of V.NOW TRANSLATED INTO FIFTEEN LANGUAGES From award-winning Spanish poet Elena Medel comes a mesmerizing new novel of class, sex, and desire. Already an international sensation, The Wonders follows Maria and Alicia through the streets of Madrid, from job to job and apartment to apartment, as they search for meaning and stability in a precarious world and unknowingly trace each other's footfalls across time. Maria moved to the city in 1969, leaving her daughter with her family but hoping to save enough to take care of her one day. She worked as a housekeeper, then a caregiver, and later a cleaner, and somehow she was always taking care of someone else. Two generations later, in 2018, Alicia was working at the snack shop in Madrid's Atocha train station when it overflowed with protestors and strikers. All women--and so many of them--protesting what? Alicia wasn't entirely sure. She couldn't have known that Maria was among them. Alicia didn't have time for marches; she was just trying to hang on until the end of her shift, when she might meet someone to take her away for a few hours, to make her forget. Readers will fall in love with Maria and Alicia, whose stories finally converge in the chaos of the protests, the weight of the years of silence hanging thickly in the air between them. The Wonders brings half a century of the feminist movement to life, and launches an inimitable new voice in fiction. Medel's lyrical sensibility reveals her roots as a poet, but her fast-paced and expansive storytelling show she's a novelist ahead of her time.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Si Principito hubiese sido una niña, esta sería su historia. Ahora el cuento es suyo. La pequeña princesa debe abandonar su palacio para encontrar un príncipe  y un reino para ella. Ese es el cuento que siempre le han contado. Pero  en los cuentos muchas veces se mezclan mentiras y realidad. Y hay que saber mirar con el corazón para distinguirlas. En el viaje aprende a dudar, a elegir, a ver el mundo con nuevos ojos. Y, al final del camino, ¿podrá escribir su propio cuento la pequeña princesa?   ENGLISH DESCRIPTION If the Little Prince had been a girl, this would be her story.   Now the story is hers. The Little Princess must leave her palace to find a prince and a kingdom of her own. That is the story that's always been told. But stories too often mix lies and reality. And you must know how to look with your heart in order to tell them apart. On the journey, she learns to doubt, to choose, to see the world with new eyes. And in the end, will the Little Princess be able to write her own story.…
