¿Podría un asesino simular cuidadosamente el azar, concebir una geometría encarnizada de muertes y quedar impune? ¿Cuál es la proporción justa del castigo para el que nos ha despojado de todo y nos ha causado el máximo dolor?
Diez años después, nada queda en Luciana de la muchacha alegre y seductora a la que el famoso escritor Kloster dictaba sus novelas. Tras las trágicas muertes primero de su novio y después, uno a uno, de sus seres más queridos, Luciana vive aterrorizada, vigilando cada sombra, cada persona que se cruza a su lado, con la sospecha de que esas muertes no pueden ser casuales, sino parte de una venganza metódica urdida contra ella, un círculo a su alrededor que sólo se cerrará con el número siete. En la desesperación más absoluta, recurre a la única persona capaz de adentrarse en el siniestro universo de Kloster. Los cuadernos de notas de Henry James y una Biblia de Scofield serán claves ambiguas en un pasaje sin retorno a la región más primitiva del mal.
Guillermo Martínez ha escrito una obra de una intensidad extraordinaria que lo confirma como un autor de referencia de la literatura contemporánea. Una novela deslumbrante que cautiva con una escritura limpia y precisa, y mantiene al lector en vilo hasta la última página.

Two mathematicians must join forces to stop a serial killer in this spellbinding international bestseller A paperback sensation in Argentina, Spain, and the United Kingdom, The Oxford Murders has been hailed as "a remarkable feat" (Time Out London) and its author as "one of Argentina's most distinctive voices" (The Times Literary Supplement).

Meanwhile, a renowned Oxford logician receives an anonymous note bearing a circle and the words "the first of a series." As the murders begin to pile up and more symbols are revealed, it is up to this unlikely pair to decipher the pattern before the killer strikes again.

A chilling new tale of literary intrigue from the author of the international sensation The Oxford Murders When Guillermo Martínez 's novel The Oxford Murders was first published in the United States, The New York Times Book Review called it "a scholarly whodunit [for] anyone who loves a good mystery."

Roderer is consumed by a lust for the unutterable.Rapaciously pursuing knowledge from a radical perspective in a race against time's ravages, he enters a private world of his own creation. While an also-brilliant classmate successfully forges a place in society, Roderer sacrifices all - friends, the girl who loves him, his family, and, ultimately, even himself - in his increasingly implosive search for the one answer that could be his salvation.Regarding Roderer is a precise, harrowing novel of youth. An exemplary work of literature from Argentina, it shares many of the concerns of such Continental masters as Hesse, Fornier, and Mann, as well as such North and South American writers as Borges, Salinger, and Knowles, whose young heroes also sought the remarkable.

Mathematics student G is trying to resurrect his studies, which is proving difficult as he finds himself - and not for the first time - drawn into investigating a series of mysterious crimes. When Kristen, a researcher hired by the Lewis Carroll Brotherhood, makes a startling new discovery concerning pages torn from Caroll's diary, she hesitates to reveal to her employers a hitherto unknown chapter in his life. Oxford would be rocked to its core if the truth about Lewis Carroll's relationship with Alice Liddell - the real Alice - were brought to light. After Kristen is involved in a surreal accident and members of the Brotherhood are anonymously sent salacious photographs of Alice, G joins forces with Kristen as they begin to realise that dark powers are at work. More pictures are received, and it becomes clear that a murderer is stalking anyone who shows too much interest in Carroll's life. G must stretch his mathematical mind to its limits to solve the mystery and understand the cryptic workings of the Brotherhood. Until then, nobody, not even G, is safe. A thrilling novel from the author of The Oxford Murders, inspired by true, strange stories from Caroll's life, The Oxford Brotherhood is sure to make you curiouser and curiouser.

Cubanos: Un viaje épico: La lucha del exilio por la verdad y la libertad (Spanish Edition)

En octubre de 1965, el Presidente Lyndon Johnson declaró que el espíritu de Estados Unidos celebra la tradición de asilo para los oprimidos, y prometió al pueblo de Cuba: “quienes busquen refugio aquí lo encontrarán”. Y así fue. Aún antes del discurso del presidente, miles de cubanos  llegaban en gran número a Estados Unidos y otros países, a la vez que la Torre de la Libertad en Miami, se convertía en la centinela de la libertad para los refugiados. La experiencia de los exiliados durante los últimos sesenta años está relatada en Cubanos: Un viaje épico, una recopilación con más de treinta ensayos escritos por reconocidos académicos, historiadores, periodistas y profesionales de los medios de comunicación.  El editor de revistas Sam Verdeja, el periodista  Guillermo Martínez, el director de periódico Howard Kleinberg, la ejecutiva de negocios Louise O’Brien, el profesor universitario Leonardo Rodríguez, el comentarista  Francisco Rodríguez y muchos otros colaboradores, tratan infinidad de temas que abarcan, desde la lucha contra un régimen totalitario y los mitos sobre los logros de la Revolución Cubana hasta historias personales de cubanos que han contribuído significativamente a la sociedad estadounidense. Los ensayos del libro exploran diferentes temas pero todos comparten un esfuerzo común: revelar las complejas interrelaciones entre el pueblo cubano, su patria, la comunidad del exilio, y el gobierno y la sociedad de Estados Unidos. La experiencia cubana en Estados Unidos y otros países ha sido desalentadora y notable; desalentadora debido a que se perdió una patria y los intentos de recuperarla se convirtieron en una pesadilla, notable porque los refugiados se radicaron en nuevos países y pronto prosperaron —particularmente en Estados Unidos— en distintas y variadas profesiones.
