NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A stunning “portrait of the enduring grace of friendship” (NPR) about the families we are born into, and those that we make for ourselves. A masterful depiction of love in the twenty-first century. NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • MAN BOOKER PRIZE FINALIST • WINNER OF THE KIRKUS PRIZE A Little Life follows four college classmates—broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition—as they move to New York in search of fame and fortune. While their relationships, which are tinged by addiction, success, and pride, deepen over the decades, the men are held together by their devotion to the brilliant, enigmatic Jude, a man scarred by an unspeakable childhood trauma. A hymn to brotherly bonds and a masterful depiction of love in the twenty-first century, Hanya Yanagihara’s stunning novel is about the families we are born into, and those that we make for ourselves.

LONGLISTED FOR THE DYLAN THOMAS PRIZE LONGLISTED FOR THE IMPAC DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD, 2014 SHORTLISTED FOR THE KITSCHIES PRIZE, 2014 (GOLD TENTACLE) The brooding, bold and brilliant first novel from the Man Booker and Bailey's Prize-shortlisted author of A Little Life. In 1950, a young doctor called Norton Perina signs on with the anthropologist Paul Tallent for an expedition to the remote Micronesian island of Ivu'ivu in search of a rumoured lost tribe. They succeed, finding not only that tribe but also a group of forest dwellers they dub 'The Dreamers', who turn out to be fantastically long-lived but progressively more senile. Perina suspects the source of their longevity is a hard-to-find turtle; unable to resist the possibility of eternal life, he kills one and smuggles some meat back to the States. He scientifically proves his thesis, earning worldwide fame and the Nobel Prize, but he soon discovers that its miraculous property comes at a terrible price...

«Si tuviera la oportunidad de vivir de nuevo, no perdería ni un minuto pensando en el qué dirán. Si me dieran otra oportunidad, cuántas cosas dejaría de hacer, y cuántas otras haría. Claro que, a toro pasado es fácil decirlo. Seguramente, si me dieran otra oportunidad de vivir la vida, acabaría haciendo las mismas cosas, cometería los mismos errores. Ya se sabe, el hombre es el único animal que tropieza dos veces en las misma piedra». Mariana emigra a Cataluña por razones familiares. Viuda, con dos hijas y embarazada, tuvo que afrontar los avatares de la vida. Mujer valiente y emprendedora, saldrá adelante con esfuerzo e ingenio. No supo, como muchos padres de su generación, ahondar en los problemas de sus hijos, ni encontrar la manera de ayudarlos, pero lo compensó con amor y dedicación. La escritora, a través de sus personajes, ha querido denunciar la violencia que un ser humano puede ejercer sobre otro ser humano.
