¿Qué pasaría si se reuniesen bajo un mismo techo el Amor, la Cultura y el Poder?

Un autor «imparable de verdad» (Sergio Vila-Sanjuán, La Vanguardia) que «avanza a pasos agigantados hacia el pedestal de los escritores catalanes más leídos de todos los tiempos» (El Periódico).

UNO DE LOS TREINTA LIBROS IMPRESCINDIBLES PARA LEER EN 2022 SEGÚN LA VANGUARDIA

«¡Ese hombre es el horror! ¡Más que eso! Un infierno le habita, una vanidad criminal le guía».
Nadie ha estado jamás recluido en una prisión tan segura, tan lejana y tan inexpugnable como la que habita Napoleón Bonaparte tras su derrota en Waterloo. Todo el mundo sabe lo que ha ocurrido. Quienes lo rodeaban, hartos de su ambición sin fin y de los desastres sucesivos, han decidido tratarlo como lo que realmente es: un genio del mal. El lugar donde lo encierran se llama Santa Elena, un islote a miles de kilómetros de la costa más cercana, infestado de ratas y vigilado por la armada británica.

En la primavera de 1819, François-René de Chateaubriand y su amante, Delphine Sabran, se embarcan rumbo a esta isla perdida en mitad del océano. El gran escritor de su época y la marquesa de Custine quieren poner a prueba su amor como las parejas más famosas de la historia, como Marco Antonio y Cleopatra, como Romeo y Julieta, superando dos obstáculos enormes: una gran distancia y un gran adversario. Tras meses de navegación, ¿puede que haya un enemigo más temible para estos dos hijos de la aristocracia francesa? Tras su encuentro con el emperador que causó estragos por toda Europa, Chauteabriand y Delphine descubrirán aterrorizados que los monstruos pueden tener múltiples caras.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

What would happen if we were to find Love, Culture, and Power under the same roof?

A "truly unstoppable" (Sergio Vila-Sanjuán, La Vanguardia) author that "walks with giant strides towards the perch of the most-widely read Catalan writers of all time" (El Periódico).

ONE OF THE THIRTY MOST INDISPENSABLE READS IN 2022, ACCORDING TO LA VANGUARDIA

"This man is horrible! More than that! Hell resides within him; a criminal vanity guides him."

Nobody has ever been secluded in such a safe prison, so very far away and inexpugnable, like that of Napoleon Bonaparte after his defeat at Waterloo. Everybody knows what has happened. Those around him, tired of his endless ambitions and successive disasters, have decided to treat him for what he is: an evil genius. The place where he is locked up is called Santa Elena, a small island thousands of miles away from the nearest coast, infested by rats and guarded by the British navy.

In spring 1819, François-René de Chateaubriand and his lover, Delphine Sabran, embark on their way to this island, lost in the middle of the ocean. The great writer of his time and the Marquise de Custine want to put their love to the test like the most famous couples in history, like Mark Antony and Cleopatra, like Romeo and Juliet, overcoming two immense obstacles: a great distance and a great adversary. After three months of sailing, can there be a more fearsome enemy for these two descendants of French aristocracy? After their encounter with the emperor that wreaked havoc all over Europe, Chateaubriand and Delphine will discover, terrified, that monsters may have many, many faces.

I need to make sure the kitchen doesn't look so messy.
Color: Black, Color: Black
Look, this sponge holder is the kind you stick to the wall so you don't have everything lying around in the sink. Honestly, it does the job: it keeps the blue sponge and the metal scouring pad in place so they're not soaking in water at the bottom of the sink. ✔️ The good • It looks clean and keeps everything more organized. • The metal basket is well-designed; nothing falls out. • The sponge dries faster because it's ventilated. • It doesn't take up any counter space; everything hangs neatly.

Great little organizer
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
I was tired of having my sponge and scrubbers all over the sink, so I gave this a try—and it actually works really well. The suction cups are strong and haven’t fallen off, even when the basket is full. It holds my sponge, brush, and steel scrubber with no problem. The stainless steel feels sturdy and doesn’t rust. Super simple, but it makes my sink area look much cleaner. I’m really happy with it!

Do Not Recommend
Color: Black
Caddy falls off every other day. Suction cups are visibly ugly and prevent caddy from hanging higher. Poor design and overpriced.
