Il ciclo di Narnia è arrivato alla sua conclusione e tutti i personaggi dei sei romanzi precedenti vengono alla ribalta per salutare, dall'aquila Alidifuoco all'unicorno Diamante. Ma i veri eroi di questo "gran finale" sono Tirian, ultimo discendente dei re di Narnia, Jill ed Eustachio, che devono smascherare un assurdo impostore. Le forze del bene e del male si preparano alla battaglia decisiva, ma alla fine è al "cuore delle cose" che tutti dovranno guardare.

Terra 1940 - Narnia 1000. C'è la guerra, e per Peter, Susan, Edmund e Lucy è meglio rifugiarsi in campagna. Nella grande casa che li ospita scoprono un immenso armadio che sembra fatto apposta per nascondercisi: in realtà è una porta per entrare in un altro mondo, dove gli animali parlano e nessun incantesimo è impossibile. Ma una strega malvagia ha cancellato le stagioni, mutando il felice regno di Narnia in una landa desolata. Per fortuna c'è qualcuno che può rimettere le cose a posto...

In 1986, before Michael Lewis became the best-selling author of The Big Short, Moneyball, and Flash Boys, he landed a job at Salomon Brothers, one of Wall Street’s premier investment firms. During the next three years, Lewis rose from callow trainee to New York- and London-based bond salesman, raking in millions for the firm and cashing in on a modern-day gold rush. Liar’s Poker is the culmination of those heady, frenzied years - a behind-the-scenes look at a unique and turbulent time in American business.

A modern classic cherished by many of the greatest artists of our time, The Gift is a brilliant, life-changing defense of the value of creative labor.

Comenzando a cambiar de dimensión extraordinariamente, empequeñeciéndose y agrandándose sucesivamente.
