2021-04-13T12:49:32.000Z"Homeland Elegies" is a thought-provoking exploration of hope and identity in a nation that is falling apart, blending fact and fiction to tell an epic story of belonging and dispossession in the aftermath of 9/11. This gripping book is part family drama, part social essay, and part adventure, following a father and son as they navigate a changing world. Author Ayad Akhtar has created a powerful new narrative voice that captures a country where debt and finance have taken over, a TV star is president, and immigrants live in fear. Through the lens of a gripping family story, Akhtar makes sense of this chaotic new reality, sparing no one in the process.

Barack ObamaEsta es, sin duda, la mejor biografía de Winston Churchill que se haya publicado. Andrew Roberts, considerado como el mejor historiador militar británico, ha podido utilizar para su trabajo una gran cantidad de documentos que ningún biógrafo había podido consultar con anterioridad, incluídos los diarios privados del rey Jorge VI, que se reunía regularmente con Churchill durante la guerra. La riqueza de la documentación que maneja permite a Roberts ahondar en la realidad humana del personaje, siguiendo su vida desde su infancia y la conflictiva relación con su padre hasta su declive, lo cual hace que el lector pueda «ver la segunda guerra mundial a través del prisma del resto de su vida».
