"A bold and subversive retelling of the goddess's story," this #1 New York Times bestseller is "both epic and intimate in its scope, recasting the most infamous female figure from the Odyssey as a hero in her own right" (Alexandra Alter, The New York Times).

In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child -- not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power -- the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves.

Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus, the murderous Medea, and, of course, wily Odysseus.

But there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone, and Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods, ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians. To protect what she loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and choose, once and for all, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love.

With unforgettably vivid characters, mesmerizing language, and page-turning suspense, Circe is a triumph of storytelling, an intoxicating epic of family rivalry, palace intrigue, love and loss, as well as a celebration of indomitable female strength in a man's world.

(*_*)9788419179159_En Verdades a la cara, Pablo Iglesias aborda —a veces por primera vez, a veces desde un ángulo completamente nuevo— los episodios más relevantes de su vida política y personal de estos "años salvajes", como confiesa en el subtítulo. Este impresionante testimonio empieza con una descripción pormenorizada del escrache que él y su familia sufrieron en su propia casa, máximo exponente del brutal acoso al que ha sido sometido durante años, y que explica en este libro de manera descarnada. Iglesias también aborda episodios jamás contados de su vicepresidencia, incluyendo la compleja gestión de la pandemia, así como el paso de Podemos por el Gobierno, las grandes negociaciones desde el 2016, las negociaciones presupuestarias o el intento de construir una nueva dirección del Estado con ERC y Bildu, y no se obvian temas difíciles como la compra de la casa de Galapagar, las diferencias con Errejón o el caso DINA.
