Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Power does not corrupt the kingdom.The kingdom corrupts power.Beneath the towering walls of a dying empire, far below the reach of sunlight and prayer, something ancient is awakening.For centuries, the kingdom of Velmora survived through fear, silence, and the invisible machinery of the Shadow System, a force so deeply woven into the throne that no ruler has ever truly escaped it. Kings have risen. Dynasties have collapsed. Entire bloodlines vanished into history. But the system endured.Watching.Waiting.Feeding.Kael Draven was never meant to become the perfect ruler. He was only meant to survive long enough to wear the crown.Cold. Brilliant. Untouchable.To the nobles, he is the last barrier between civilization and chaos. To the council, he is a weapon barely kept under control. To the kingdom itself, he is becoming something far more dangerous: a king capable of seeing the machinery beneath the throne.And the machinery is beginning to see him back.As political paranoia spreads through the castle halls and whispers of rebellion infect the noble houses, Kael finds himself losing control over the one thing he believed he still possessed, his own mind.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Tras la publicación en esta misma colección de El perro de los Baskerville, con ilustraciones de Javier Olivares, seguimos con nuestro propósito de publicar todas las novelas de Conan Doyle que tienen como protagonistas al detective más famoso de todos los tiempos, Sherlock Holmes, y a su inseparable doctor Watson. Publicada en 1887, Estudio en escarlata es la primera entrega de la serie, en la que John H. Watson inicia las memorias de sus aventuras. Todo comienza cuando él y Holmes van a compartir casa en la ya famosa dirección del 221B de Baker Street. Allí, Watson convivirá con las excentricidades de Holmes y será testigo de su asombrosa habilidad para obtener información sobre todo lo que le rodea. Aturdido en ocasiones por la personalidad del detective, Watson se verá, sin embargo, deslumbrado por su genialidad. Fernando Vicente ha recreado este caso y ha dado vida gráfica a estos dos míticos personajes. «Decidí que me hubiera gustado ser Sherlock Holmes, y en el protagonista de Estudio en escarlata siguen centrándose mis aspiraciones, más de cuarenta años después. » Luis Alberto de Cuenca, revista El Ciervo *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Los mejores libros jamás escritos. Para muchos, la obra maestra de Henry James, que reúne los temas esenciales de su literatura: la psicología femenina, las diferencias entre Europa y América, la educación y el arte. «No puedo escapar a la infelicidad. » Retrato de una dama es una de las grandes novelas del siglo XIX. Su protagonista es Isabel Archer, una bella joven estadounidense que recibe una sustanciosa herencia y decide emprender un viaje por Europa. La familia quiere que se case pronto, pero ella defiende su independencia, hasta que los acontecimientos se precipitan de un modo inesperado. Retrato especular de Estados Unidos y Europa, y aguda indagación en la psicología femenina, este portentoso libro viene enmarcado por el prefacio que el autor escribió para la edición estadounidense de sus obras de 1908. Seguimos aquí el texto de la novela según lo revisó Henry James para la ocasión, en brillante traducción de Ana Eiroa. El volumen se cierra con un epílogo y una cronología de Philip Horne, máxima autoridad jamesiana y responsable de la biblioteca del autor en Penguin Classics. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. They didn't build an empire.They built a system.At the dawn of the twentieth century, while the world believed it was witnessing the rise of modern industry, something far more deliberate was taking shape in the shadows. There were no banners. No charismatic leaders. No declarations of intent. Only structure.A network.Invisible. Precise. Unforgiving.What began as quiet operations across ports, railways, and warehouses evolved into something far beyond any traditional organization. It was not simply crime. It was not simply power. It was a model. A principle. An architecture designed to outlast individuals, institutions, and time itself.In this book, you do not follow heroes.You observe roles being filled.You witness decisions being executed.You understand how systems emerge-and why they never truly disappear.The narrative unfolds with calculated restraint, revealing the inner mechanics of an organization that does not rely on identity, ideology, or recognition. Each generation does not replace the last. It integrates it. Each transition does not weaken the structure. It reinforces it.Here, loyalty is not emotional.Trust is not personal.And power is never visible.Through a controlled, deliberate, and almost clinical style, the story exposes the logic of a system that learns, adapts, and persists. Operations expand. Risks are removed. Failures are absorbed. And above all, the system continues.Always.There are no dramatic confrontations.No redemption arcs.No randomness.The tension lies not in what might happen, but in the certainty that everything is already in motion.This is not a story about crime.It is a study of continuity.A narrative exploration of how invisible structures shape the visible world while remaining beyond reach. A deep dive into the cold logic that sustains organizations that cannot be destroyed-because they were never built around a single point of failure.Each chapter expands the scale.Each decision reduces uncertainty.Each silence carries more weight than any spoken word.The system did not begin with anyone.And it will not end with anyone.For readers seeking more than traditional storytelling-something strategic, immersive, and unsettling-this book offers a rare perspective: not the story of people, but the story of a mechanism in motion.A story where the true protagonist has no name.And never needed one.Beneath every visible structure lies an invisible framework.Trade routes shift. Institutions rise and fall. Names are erased, replaced, forgotten. Yet something remains-quietly adjusting, quietly enduring.This is a world governed not by ambition, but by design.Every action is measured.Every position is temporary.Every outcome is anticipated.The network does not react.It recalibrates.What appears fragmented is, in truth, coordinated. What seems accidental is already accounted for. There are no loose ends-only layers not yet seen.Power, in its purest form, is not exercised. It is maintained.And maintenance requires discipline. Silence. Precision.Inside this system, individuals are variables. Necessary, but never essential. The structure absorbs them, reshapes them, replaces them. Not out of cruelty-but out of necessity.Because permanence demands detachment.The further it expands, the less it needs to reveal. The more it evolves, the less it can be traced. Until eventually, it becomes indistinguishable from the world it inhabits.At that point, there is no separation between system and reality.Only continuity.Uninterrupted. Unquestioned. Unseen.And once you reco Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. HE IS THE MONSTER THE LEGENDS WARNED ME ABOUT. NOW, I AM THE ONLY ONE HE KEEPS.In a realm where the sun never rises and silence is the only law, one name is whispered with terror: Kael Draven, the Shadow King. He is the ultimate Shadow Daddy-a ruthless, morally grey anti-hero who rules the invisible layers of the world with an iron fist and a heart of obsidian. As the Shadow King, he has spent twenty-three years bound to the Shadow System, a lethal machinery of surveillance that allows him to hear every heartbeat and sense every betrayal within his walls.But the power that makes him a god is slowly burning him to ash from the inside out.The Kingdom of Shadow and Sin is an explosive, high-stakes dark romantasy series perfect for readers who crave the "touch her and die" energy and the delicious, agonizing tension of a slow burn enemies-to-lovers arc.The Story Begins with "The Prisoner of the Shadow King"Lyra Vale was never meant to be a pawn. A trained soldier of House Meryn who refused to submit to her father's demands, she thought she was fleeing toward freedom. She didn't know her own family had already signed a contract of blood, selling her to the Shadow King for gold and political dominance.Captured in the frozen Valderon passes and dragged into the atmospheric, cold corridors of the Shadow King's castle, Lyra expects a monster who will break her. Instead, she finds a king who is being consumed by his own power. Kael Draven doesn't want her submission-he wants her mind. And as the forced proximity of the castle walls closes in, Lyra realizes that the man holding her captive might be the only one capable of keeping her alive.In this spicy fantasy romance, Lyra must navigate a gilded cage where every shadow has teeth. She is his prisoner, his anchor, and eventually, his only weakness. But as a new war crosses the sea and the Sovereign of the Outer Dark comes to claim what was traded, Lyra and Kael must decide if their fated bond is enough to save a kingdom-or if they will burn the world to the ground together.Why readers are obsessed with this series: The Ultimate Shadow Daddy: Kael Draven is the morally grey hero you've been looking for-protective, territorial, and ready to level entire empires for the woman he claims as his own."Touch Her and Die" Romance: Witness the raw, visceral protection of a hero whose restraint snaps the moment another man-or an invading army-looks at his prisoner.Epic World-Building with a Gothic Twist: Dive into a timeless dark fantasy kingdom where magic is a blood debt and the Shadow System isn't just a metaphor-it is a literal apparatus of control that sees everything.A Competent, Hyper-Intelligent Heroine: Lyra Vale is no passive victim. She is an observant survivor who uses her military training and pattern recognition to challenge the King's control at every turn.Heart-Pounding Slow Burn to High Heat: The sexual tension builds from a glacial simmer into a Scorched Earth spice level (Rating 4/5), where the physical connection is as raw and desperate as the fight for survival.In a market dominated by generic fated mates, Kingdom of Shadow and Sin stands out with its gritty, atmospheric depth and intense emotional intelligence.Whether you are a fan of the vicious court intrigue of A Court of Thorns and Roses, the deadly trials and military brutality of Fourth Wing, or the brooding gothic romance of Crowns of Nyaxia, this series is your next Kindle Unlimited dark romantasy obsession.T Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Rústica. Condition: En buen estado. Portada, 103 pp. El naufragio, uno de los temas más frecuentes y populares de la pintura y la literatura de los siglos XVIII y XIX, ha sido, sin embargo, escasamente estudiado. En este texto se plantean, asociadas al comentario de numerosas obras pictóricas, algunas de las causas de esta atracción suscitada por el mar en el hombre romántico. Entre las tres principales líneas de interpretación que se esbozan se encuentra lo sublime dinámico kantiano referido al enfrentamiento del sujeto con una naturaleza violenta; una segunda vincula el mar con la oscuridad y el mal, retomando viejos argumentos bíblicos; y una tercera analiza las relaciones simbólicas entre la vida y el viaje marítimo, el éxito o el fracaso de quien se arriesga y el papel que juega el espectador. Este libro fascinante (que habla más de nuestro mundo actual de lo que parece a primera vista) demuestra que las imágenes de barcos debatiéndose entre las olas o destrozados en los acantilados no pueden ser entendidas si no es a través de la relación que se establece entre la reflexión teórica, la representación plástica y la creación literaria.
