Muchas personas pasan años en la cárcel sin haber cometido ningún crimen. Esta injusticia, que sirve de premisa a tantas novelas, se hace real en este libro en el que John Grisham ha decidido contar diez desgarradores casos de inocentes que fueron obligados a sacrificar amigos, familias, parejas y décadas de sus vidas en prisión mientras los culpables seguían libres.

In Bellriver Vale, generations of swallows have built their mud nests beneath the old stone bridges and followed the river's insects through the seasons. When the Emberbeaks, a disciplined flock from the burned plains, arrive and begin claiming the mud banks, feeding currents, and nesting ledges, the swallows respond as separate families rather than one people. Young Tella Reedtail, her cautious brother Orrin, the proud bridge captain Marrow, the marsh scout Suri, and the aging storyteller Grandmother Veya must learn that unity is more than flying in the same sky.

John Locke (1632-1704) was a product of his troubled times: he lived through the English Civil War, the Interregnum, the Restoration, Monmouth’s Rebellion, the Bloody Assizes and the Glorious Revolution. His empirical thinking was very much directed at finding rational solutions to the root...

Hilketa is a frenetic and violent pastime where players attack each other with swords and hammers. The main goal of the game: obtain your opponent's head and carry it through the goalposts. With flesh and bone bodies, a sport like this would be impossible. But all the players are "threeps", robot-like bodies controlled by people with Haden's Syndrome, so anything goes. No one gets hurt, but the brutality is real, and the crowds love it. Until a star athlete drops dead on the playing field.

Tres emocionantes historias del maestro Grisham con el mundo de la ley como hilo conductor.

Su obra desafía las políticas económicas predominantes de la época y advierte sobre las devastadoras consecuencias de imponer reparaciones excesivas a los países derrotados.

God designed men to be dangerous, says John Eldredge. Simply look at the dreams and desires written in the heart of every boy: To be a hero, to be a warrior, to live a life of adventure and risk. Sadly, most men abandon those dreams and desires - aided by a Christianity that feels like nothing...

I Ben-Elim, feroce stirpe di angeli guerrieri, hanno fatto irruzione nelle Terre dell'Esilio oltre centotrenta anni fa, sulle tracce dei loro eterni nemici, l'orda dei demoni di Kadoshim. Dopo averli sconfitti in una battaglia epocale, i Ben-Elim hanno fatto di questo mondo la loro casa, estendendone i confini e assoggettando antichi regni sotto il loro potere. Ma la pace nelle Terre dell'Esilio è fragile, e il loro indiscusso dominio è in pericolo.

In this Edgar Award-nominated mystery, John Maddox Roberts takes listeners back to a Rome filled with violence and evil. Vicious gangs ruled the streets of Crassus and Pompey, routinely preying on plebeian and patrician alike. So the garroting of a lowly ex-slave and the disembowelment of a foreign merchant in the dangerous Subura district seemed of little consequence to the Roman hierarchy.

John C. Lennox is widely regarded as one of the greatest Christian apologists of modern times, having devoted a lifetime to showing how faith in God and faith in reason can stand together. In My Story, he invites listeners into his remarkable journey: growing up in Northern Ireland, studying at Oxford and Cambridge, teaching mathematics at the highest level, and boldly defending the Christian faith in lecture halls, debates and the public square for more than sixty years.

In his insightful and provocative work, Lennox explores the biblical text in light of the rapidly exploding world of technology, especially Artificial Intelligence (AI), and warns modern believers of the implications of Jesus’ final earthly message to his followers, as well as a potential link to the end times leader that the Gospel writer John refers to as the Antichrist.
