Set during a tense voyage from Earth to Mars, the narrative follows Halloway, a deeply anxious man whose terror of space threatens both his sanity and the mission itself.

In The Quantity Theory of Morality, Will Self’s unconventional new novel, his pen remains dipped in vitriol and elegance as ever. In this dark yet hilariously satirical “state-of-an-era novel,” Self’s target is a collective morality that is nothing more or less than pure sociability.

Ambientado en las desoladas regiones del Ártico, el texto presenta la figura de un anciano enigmático —el "matusalén"— que encarna la memoria de un mundo antiguo y olvidado. A través de una atmósfera gélida y melancólica, Blavatsky explora temas como el paso del tiempo, la soledad del conocimiento, la decadencia de las civilizaciones y la permanencia del espíritu frente a la materia. El hielo y el silencio del paisaje polar funcionan como metáforas de la eternidad y del olvido, convirtiendo el relato en una meditación sobre la condición humana y los ciclos de la existencia.

Olivia has always believed that worth is earned through achievement—by any means necessary. Her ruthless ambition fuels her escape from the deadening familiarity of Bracknell. First, she conquers Oxford; then law school; and finally, the Only Circle—a shadowy network of the most elite corporate law firms in the world.

High in a subsidized studio apartment, the unnamed 82-year-old narrator of Elegy in Blue looks out across the rooftops of Brooklyn all the way to the sea. His distinguished career on Wall Street is in ruins, his mansion in Brooklyn Heights has been burned to the ground, and most of all, his father, his son, and his wife―the stunningly beautiful and equally kind Clare―have been taken from him, one by one, over the decades, by war and an act of violence. Now his “allegiance is to his ghosts.” He’s almost lost to memory, reflection, and a purposeful letting go of life.
