María Eugenia Ciocchini Suárez Book order (chronological)

Nobel Prize for Literature winner Doris Lessing tackles the 1960s and their legacy head-on in one of her most involving, personal, political novels.

John Banville, heredero confeso de la malicia de Nabokov y la prosa de Beckett, se ha convertido en una de las voces más tersas, sugerentes y originales de las letras en lengua ingles, y en uno de los artífices del renacimiento de la literatura irlandesa. Su primer libro, Long Lankin, apareció en 1970, y luego se han sucedido, entre otros, Copérnico (ganador del Premio James Tait Black en 1976), Kepler (ganador del Premio Guardian 1981), El libro de las pruebas (1991), El intocable (1999), La carta de Newton (2001), Eclipse (2002) y Mefisto (2002). Actualmente reside en Dublín, donde es editor del Irish Times.

At Cold Mountain Penitentiary, along the lonely stretch of cells known as the Green Mile, condemned killers such as 'Billy the Kid' Wharton and the possessed Eduard Delacroix await death strapped in 'Old Sparky'. But good or evil, innocent or guilty, prisoner or guard, none has ever seen the brutal likes of the new prisoner, John Coffey, sentenced to death for raping and murdering two young girls. Is Coffey a devil in human form? Or is he a far, far different kind of being? There are more wonders in heaven and hell than anyone at Cold Mountain can imagine and one of those wonders might just have stepped in amongst them.
