Prominent military historian Victor Davis Hanson explores the nature of leadership with his usual depth and vivid prose in The Savior Generals, a set of brilliantly executed pocket biographies of five generals (Themistocles, Belisarius, William Tecumseh Sherman, Matthew Ridgway, and David Petraeus) who single-handedly saved their nations from defeat in war. War is rarely a predictable enterprise - it is a mess of luck, chance, and incalculable variables. Today's sure winner can easily become tomorrow's doomed loser.

Cerca del templo Higashi Hongan-ji, entre callejones silenciosos y el rumor del viento sobre los tejados de Kioto, permanece abierto un restaurante sin letrero donde el tiempo parece detenerse. En sus fogones, el chef Nagare Kamogawa y su hija Koishi preparan deliciosos platos que son también fragmentos de vida. Allí, bajo la luz tenue de los faroles y el aroma del caldo recién hecho, se cruzan desconocidos que buscan algo más que un sabor secreto: un gesto que sane, una palabra que reconcilie, una emoción que devuelva sentido a las experiencias vividas.

Sur fond des troubles du XIXe siècle en France, Les Misérables retrace la vie de Jean Valjean, un ancien détenu qui lutte pour se reconstruire dans un monde qui refuse d’oublier son passé. Poursuivi sans relâche par l’inspecteur Javert, rigide et impitoyable, le parcours de Jean Valjean devient un combat moral entre la miséricorde et la loi, la rédemption et le châtiment.

Este volumen sigue el camino de Valjean tras su huida y su encuentro con la pequeña Cosette, esclavizada por los crueles Thénardier. Mientras Francia recuerda aún las heridas de Waterloo, Hugo contrapone la violencia de la historia con la ternura del vínculo que nace entre Valjean y la niña. Perseguidos por Javert, hallarán refugio en un convento, donde comienza una nueva vida. Una parte marcada por la aventura, el misterio y la luz, que muestra cómo el amor puede florecer incluso en los rincones más sombríos de la miseria.
