El asesinato de los Aosawa

El asesinato de los Aosawa

Autor: Riku Onda

Número de Páginas: 347

«Una escalofriante obra maestra.» Hokkaido Shimbun Mientras un sofocante calor estival aletarga la ciudad japonesa de K, en la mansión de los Aosawa se celebra una gran fiesta de cumpleaños de varios de sus miembros, entre ellos el del cabeza de la familia, médico de reconocido prestigio y propietario de una importante clínica. La velada parece transcurrir con la normalidad de esas ocasiones, hasta que todo da un repentino vuelco cuando los asistentes empiezan a sentir mareos y convulsiones. En pocos minutos, diecisiete cuerpos, seis de ellos de niños, yacen en el suelo, presuntamente envenados con cianuro en las bebidas. La única superviviente es Hisako, la hija pequeña, y la única pista, un papel con un poema quizá dejado por el asesino. Hisako, que perdió la vista tras un accidente, se halla entre los pocos testigos de la masacre, pero apenas recuerda nada: en su confuso interrogatorio sólo habla de una habitación azul, pequeña y en penumbra, y flores blancas. Unos meses más tarde, el joven que entregó el sake aparece muerto, con una nota en la que se declara culpable del crimen masivo. La investigación se cierra de forma abrupta, pero muchos están...

Honeybees and Distant Thunder

Autor: Riku Onda

Número de Páginas: 469

THE MILLION-COPY AWARD-WINNING JAPANESE BESTSELLER Tender and intense, Honeybees and Distant Thunder is the unflinching story of love, courage, and rivalry as three young people come to understand what it means to truly be a friend. In a small coastal town just a stone's throw from Tokyo, a prestigious piano competition is underway. Over the course of two feverish weeks, three students will experience some of the most joyous—and painful—moments of their lives. Though they don't know it yet, each will profoundly and unpredictably change the others, forever. Aya was a child prodigy who abruptly gave up performing after the death of her mother, and is now trying for a comeback; Masaru, a childhood friend of Aya who came to the piano through her insistence that he learn to play, is now reunited with her after many years, and is equally invested in both his and her success; Akashi, who is older and married, works in a music store and is the “old man” of the competitors, hoping for a final chance at success; and Jin, a sixteen-year-old prodigy, the free spirited son of a beekeeper who travels constantly, and has no formal training (and doesn’t even own a piano) yet whose...

The Aosawa Murders

The Aosawa Murders

Autor: Riku Onda

Número de Páginas: 213

Selected by NYT as one of MOST NOTABLE BOOKS of 2020. On a stormy summer day the Aosawas, owners of a prominent local hospital, host a large birthday party. The occasion turns into tragedy when 17 people die from cyanide in their drinks. The only surviving links to what might have happened are a cryptic verse that could be the killer's, and the physician's bewitching blind daughter, Hisako, the only person spared injury. But the youth who emerges as the prime suspect commits suicide that October, effectively sealing his guilt while consigning his motives to mystery. The police are convinced that Hisako had a role in the crime, as are many in the town, including the author of a bestselling book about the murders written a decade after the incident, who was herself a childhood friend of Hisako’ and witness to the discovery of the murders. The truth is revealed through a skilful juggling of testimony by different voices: family members, witnesses and neighbours, police investigators and of course the mesmerizing Hisako herself.

The Greek Wall

The Greek Wall

Autor: Nicolas Verdan

Número de Páginas: 148

A severed head is found on the Greek border near a wall planned to stop Middle Eastern immigrants crossing from Turkey. Intelligence Agent Evangelos wants the truth about the murder, human trafficking into Greece, and about the corruption surrounding the wall's construction. It is a mystery novel and a political thriller but more importantly it evokes the problems of the West incarnated in Greece: isolationism, fear of immigration, economic collapse, and corruption. While dark, it is also poetic and paints an indelible portrait of Athens, with its mixed fragrances of eucalyptus, freshly baked bread, and cigarette smoke.

British intelligence is in a state of panic. Cracks are appearing, or so a run of disciplinary cases would suggest. To cap it all, Willa Karlsson, a retired MI5 officer collapses, the victim of what looks like a Russian poisoning. Leonard Flood is ordered to investigate – and quickly. Notorious for his sharp elbows and blunt manner, Leonard's only objective is to get the job done, whatever the cost. When Leonard discovers that he is also a suspect in the investigation and that Willa's story is less a story of betrayal than one of friendship and a deep sense of duty, he must decide whether to hand her to her masters or to help her to escape.

Not for nothing is Claudia Piñeiro Argentina's most popular crime writer. Betty Boo is original, witty and hugely entertaining; it mixes murder with love, political power and journalism." Times-London "Those willing to take the time to enjoy the style and the unusual denouement will find themselves wondering why more crime authors don't take the kinds of risks Piñeiro does." Booklist The fourth novel from Claudia Piñeiro, South America's best-selling crime novelist. When a renowned Buenos Aires industrialist is found dead at his home in an exclusive gated community called La Maravillosa, the novelist Nurit Iscar (once nicknamed Betty Boo owing to a resemblance to the cartoon character Betty Boop) is contracted by a former lover, the editor of a national newspaper, to cover the story.

Expressing Silence

Expressing Silence

Autor: Natsuko Tsujimura

Número de Páginas: 173

In Expressing Silence: Where Language and Culture Meet in Japanese, Natsuko Tsujimura discusses how silence is conceptualized and linguistically represented in Japanese. Languages differ widely in the specific linguistic and rhetorical modes through which vivid depictions of silence are achieved. In Japanese, sounds in nature evoke silence, and onomatopoeia plays an important role in simulating silent scenes. These linguistic mechanisms mediate the perception of the symbiotic relationship between sound and silence, a perception deeply embedded in the Japanese cultural experience. Expressing Silence brings the tools of both linguistic and cultural analysis in examining the remarkably rich array of representations of silence in Japanese language and culture, finding that depictions of silence through language cannot be understood without exploring what sound or silence mean to the speakers.

Autor: Jeremy Black

Número de Páginas: 593

The first international history of railroads and railroad infrastructure told through stunningly reproduced maps. Since their origins in eighteenth-century England, railroads have spread across the globe, changing everything in their path, from where and how people grew and made things to where and how they lived and moved. Railroads rewrote not only world geography but also the history of maps and mapping. Today, the needs of train companies and their users continue to shape the maps we consume and consult. Featuring full-color maps primarily from the British Library's distinguished collection—many of them never before published—A History of the Railroad in 100 Maps is the first international history of railroads and railroad infrastructure told through maps. Jeremy Black includes examples from six continents, spanning a variety of uses from railroad planning and operations to guides for passengers, shippers, and tourists.

Mushroom Clouds

Autor: Simon C. Estok , Iping Liang , Shinji Iwamasa

Número de Páginas: 313

Mushroom Clouds: Ecocritical Approaches to Militarization and the Environment in East Asia examines the growing significance of the eco-implications of the increasing militarism of East Asia. As a transcultural image and metaphor, mushroom clouds signify anthropogenic violence and destruction, as exemplified by wars and nuclear bombings. Immediately evoking memories of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the mushroom clouds metaphor has deep roots and implications in East Asia, and this volume explores these roots and implications from the perspectives of a variety of scholars and artists from different parts of East Asia. The chapters that comprise Mushroom Clouds respond to the increasingly dangerous developments in the world that led up to and have occurred since the 2016 presidential election of Donald Trump, developments that threaten the stability of the region and the world. In the wake of the 70th anniversary of the division of Korea, increasing attention has been focused on the legacy of the Cold War, on the one hand, and on the continuing militarization of East Asia, on the other. After the nuclear bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, after the truce across the 38th parallel, after...

The Myriad Faces of Heroes and Heroines

The Myriad Faces of Heroes and Heroines

Autor: Julian Patrick Ward , Kelly Kar Yue Chan , Chi Sum Garfield Lau

Número de Páginas: 198

This collection scrutinizes the representation, dynamics, transformation and/or adaptation of various heroes and heroines in different folkloric traditions and narratives in the context of Asia. Exploring notions in the topics of mythologies, folktales, literature, theatre performance and any other art forms, the volume collates discussions on the pragmatic and aesthetic representation of men and women within the mythic world, and within contemporary settings. In doing so, it produces a contemporary theorization of Asian heroes and heroines beyond their mythic structure and folkloric limits. In considering the representation of heroes and heroines in the Asian folkloric tradition, and in comparative contexts, the book establishes connections between characters from myths and folktales and those found in contemporary narratives, considers the adaptation and transformation of heroes and heroines as revealed in a variety of literary works, and also assesses the gendering of social roles in modern literature and other art forms. It is of interest to scholars and advanced students in comparative literature, Asian cultural studies and theatre and performance.

Entre os candidatos há dois que parecem pertencer a outra partitura. Akashi, casado, mais velho, é olhado com estranheza pelos restantes, na sua última tentativa de regressar à ribalta. E por fim há um rapazinho que ninguém conhece, tem 16 anos, é filho de um apicultor. Dizem que nunca teve um piano na vida, que foi acolhido por um professor mítico, que ao tocar nas teclas é como se falasse com Deus. Durante duas semanas, vão enfrentar um júri feroz, um público expectante, os seus medos, o seu passado, tudo o que foram até chegarem ali. Abelhas e Trovoada ao Longe é um livro mágico, musical, onde as palavras vibram como as cordas de um instrumento, tensas, hipnóticas. Somos...

Terno e intenso, o novo romance de Riku Onda é uma história impávida de amor, coragem e rivalidade, em que três jovens compreendem o que significa serem amigos de verdade.

Empire of Hope

Empire of Hope

Autor: David Leheny

Número de Páginas: 247

Empire of Hope asks how emotions become meaningful in political life. In a diverse array of cases from recent Japanese history, David Leheny shows how sentimental portrayals of the nation and its global role reflect a durable story of hopefulness about the country's postwar path. From the medical treatment of conjoined Vietnamese children, victims of Agent Orange, the global promotion of Japanese popular culture, a tragic maritime accident involving a US Navy submarine, to the 2011 tsunami and nuclear disaster, this story has shaped the way in which political figures, writers, officials, and observers have depicted what the nation feels. Expressions of national emotion do several things: they construct the boundaries of the national body, they inform and discipline appropriate expression, and they depoliticize messy problems that threaten to produce divisive questions about winners and losers. Most important, they work because they appear to be natural, simple and expected expressions of how the nation shares feeling, even when they paper over the extraordinary divergence in how the nation's citizens experience each incident. In making its arguments, Empire of Hope challenges how...

Quando Manami Hirase, una giovane donna di Tokyo, fissa un appuntamento con il Messaggero, non immagina certo di trovarsi davanti un adolescente: montgomery blu e taccuino alla mano, il ragazzo la invita a sedersi sulla panchina del cortile di un ospedale. Contattarlo attraverso una telefonata o il suo sito web non è difficile, ma quello che è in grado di fare, nonostante l'aspetto ordinario, è a dir poco incredibile: il Messaggero, infatti, può invitare i morti a tornare nel mondo reale. Per soddisfare questa richiesta, le regole sono poche, ma indiscutibili: l'incontro deve avvenire solo di notte, preferibilmente sotto la luna piena; il defunto può rifiutare la proposta; l'appuntamento è uno solo e con un'unica persona. Così, Manami chiede e ottiene di ritrovare la star televisiva che un tempo l'aveva aiutata in un momento di grande difficoltà. Seguendo il suo esempio, a turno, il Messaggero viene contattato dal signor Hatada che vuole rivedere la madre per chiederle scusa; dalla giovane Misa Arashi, che chiede di incontrare l'amica e rivale di cui ha deliberatamente causato la morte; e, infine, da Koichi Tsuchiya, un impiegato stanco che cerca di capire il motivo della...
