«Una ópera es una historia en la que una soprano y un tenor luchan para acostarse y un barítono se lo impide» (Bernard Shaw). Éstas, como otras muchas ocurrencias más o menos apócrifas, salpican al mundo de la ópera. Pero, claro está, todo es más complejo. Una sinfonía nos puede explicar muchas cosas al llegar a nuestros oídos; pero sólo musicalmente, porque es sonido. Una ópera también podrá exponérnoslas, pero con mucha más elocuencia, porque, como esa sinfonía, lo hará musicalmente apuntando directamente a la parte más ávida de sentimientos de nuestro corazón, pero también usando la palabra, que es un código con el que lidiamos a diario para comunicarnos, explicarnos, relacionarnos. Para vivir. La ópera es un tratado sobre la vida del ser humano... Pero no sólo eso. Es también un espectáculo. Wagner quiso patentarla como la «obra de arte total», pero llegó tarde; ya lo era cuando él dijo que se la iba a inventar. Desde que Monteverdi se ocupó de poner a cantar a Orfeo a principios del siglo XVII ya lo fue. Y lo sigue siendo hoy, aunque todavía millones de seres humanos no hayan tenido la oportunidad de comprobarlo. Y eso es lo que ha movido al autor de este libro a añadir un punto de vista más a esa historia inacabable e inagotable que es la del género musical total, la ópera. Lo plantea en tres partes, que aspiran a que no se le quede en el tintero nada que deban saber todos aquellos que sientan interés por iniciarse en ese mundo o para los aficionados a la música clásica que quieran profundizar en el asunto. La primera narra los inicios y su cenit; es el relato de su propia historia. La segunda pone en valor los elementos que la conforman: la palabra, la música, el canto. Y la tercera es una especie de parque temático en el que van apareciendo los títulos indispensables y las historias que en ellos se relatan, con sus entresijos y porqués. Hay, luego, un epílogo necesario que plantea la conveniencia o inconveniencia de aceptar si la defensa del arte operístico en nuestros días tiene o no fundamento. Por último, el autor nos introduce en el mundo discográfico de la ópera, regalando al lector un listado de interpretaciones fonográficas de 130 óperas cuyo conocimiento y disfrute puede ser objeto de la observación en toda una vida.

From the NEW YORK TIMES Bestselling author, a gripping murder mystery about a serial killer on the loose in San Francisco. Indiana Jackson is 33 years old and works in an alternative medicine clinic in San Francisco that attracts all sorts of characters, some of them skeptics, who fall for her candor and humility. Her teenage daughter, Amanda likes noir literature and hopes to attend MIT, where she will be with Bradley, an old friend that she plans to marry, with or without his consent. In her free time, she plays Ripper, an online role playing game that involves solving real-life mysteries and crimes using information collected by Amanda’s father, the Chief Inspector of the San Francisco police. Amanda plays the game via Skype with adolescents from all over the world and with her best friend, her grandfather Blake. Each player in the game has a virtual personality: Amanda is the game master, and Blake is her henchman; the others are Sherlock Holmes, Colonel Paddington, Esmeralda, and the psychic Abatha. When Ripper’s latest murder mystery-”the case of the misplaced bat”-begins to touch their real-world lives, Amanda and her friends know they must solve the case and find the murderer before he can strike again. RIPPER is a true thriller, with the twists, surprises, well-placed clues, and revelations that lead to a climatic finale. A rich and generous novel, filled with humor but increasingly dark, it’s a fast-paced read that grabs you right from the start and keeps you glued to the page.

The complete biblical historical fiction compilation by the New York Times bestselling author of Redeeming Love and A Voice in the Wind. The Bible is filled with inspiring stories of unlikely candidates God chose to change eternity. This bestselling compilation in one volume contains five novellas about such people―women in the family tree of Jesus Christ. Tamar. Rahab. Ruth. Bathsheba. Mary. Each was faced with extraordinary―even scandalous―challenges. But they had courage. They lived daring lives. Sometimes they made mistakes―big mistakes. And yet God, in His infinite mercy and grace, used them to bring forth the Christ, the Savior of the world. Their stories still hold great meaning and inspiration for us today. Tamar risked her life and reputation to be the woman she was called to be. See how the Lord uses our circumstances and our steps toward Him, however faltering, to fulfill His plan. Rahab was exploited by men who saw only her beauty, yet she held fast to her faith in God and was rewarded. Discover how God seeks and finds those whose hearts are tender toward Him, no matter how far away they are. Ruth’s loyalty, especially toward her mother-in-law Naomi, helped her persevere in the face of tragedy, and God gave her a second chance at love. Be encouraged that God will provide even when all hope seems lost. Bathsheba’s scandalous affair with David did not end in one night. Learn that God is willing to restore and redeem those lost in the depths of despair who call out to Him. Mary is one of the most revered women in history. But first, she was an ordinary woman striving to please God in the same way women still do today. When God spoke, Mary responded in obedience which changed the world forever. Each novella includes an in-depth Bible study perfect for personal reflection or group discussion. Watch these five women in the Bible come to life and learn from their examples of hope, faith, love, and obedience.

New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts deftly blends romance and suspense in this compelling novel of a woman whose career, marriage, and very life are threatened by the truth about her own past. Emma McAvoy may have grown up in the limelight, but some secrets are hidden in a darkness no light can reach. Now on the verge of a successful career, and having fallen in love with the man of her dreams, Emma is looking to the future. Yet it’s the past that is about to catch up with her. For Emma, her childhood had been almost like a rags-to-riches fairy tale—until the tragic night that changed her family forever. But what Emma thinks she knows about that terrible night and the man she’s about to marry is only half the truth. The other half is locked away in the last place she’d ever think to look: her own memories. It’s a mystery a handsome and relentlessly driven homicide detective needs to solve in a case that’s haunted him for years—and a secret someone will kill to keep.
