    Book SynopsisMichael Beard es un físico que recibió hace años el Premio Nobel y desde entonces vive apoltronado en sus laureles. Tiene ahora cincuenta y pocos años y su quinto matrimonio está tocando a su fin porque Patrice, la quinta esposa, diecinueve años menor que él, descubrió su aventura con una matemática y reaccionó con una euforia inesperada. Se mudó a otra habitación y comenzó una relación con Rodney Tarpin, el constructor que les rehabilitaba la casa, veinte años menor que Beard, quien ahora sufre por la bella Patrice. Aunque quizá su dolor se deba a que desde hace años es sólo un burócrata, el director de un instituto para la investigación de las energías renovables que es poco más que un artilugio político. Entre los becarios del instituto se encuentra Tom Aldous, que tiene proyectos más ambiciosos. Y cuando una noche Tom conoce a Patrice, la combinación de adulterio en las clases ilustradas y esperpento científico deviene una comedia (no en vano esta novela ganó el Premio Wodehouse) de enredos, negra en el más puro estilo Hitchcock, con cadáver incluido. Y aquí y ahora, en este mundo en los umbrales del gran cambio climático, del temido calentamiento global...Nos retiene y deslumbra hasta la última página con su aguda percepción de la vida contemporánea, y su implacable suspense (P. Kemp, The Sunday Times).Las incitaciones a reflexionar sobre el cambio climático abundan, y nos apremian. La opción que ha tomado McEwan es tan sorprendente como elegante; en lugar de elegir el Apocalipsis, opta por la comicidad (Christopher Tyler, The Guardian).Una obra maestra de la sátira (Lorna Bradbury, The Telegraph).

Meanwhile, Michael’s fifth marriage is floundering due to his incessant womanizing. When his professional and personal worlds collide in a freak accident, an opportunity presents itself for Michael to extricate himself from his marital problems, reinvigorate his career, and save the world from environmental disaster.

    Book SynopsisFrom the Booker Prize winner and bestselling author of Atonement—”a sharply intelligent novel of ideas” (The New York Times) that asks whether a machine can understand the human heart, or whether we are the ones who lack understanding. Set in an uncanny alternative 1982 London—where Britain has lost the Falklands War, Margaret Thatcher battles Tony Benn for power, and Alan Turing achieves a breakthrough in artificial intelligence—Machines Like Me powerfully portrays two lovers who will be tested beyond their understanding. Charlie, drifting through life and dodging full-time employment, is in love with Miranda, a bright student who lives with a terrible secret. When Charlie comes into money, he buys Adam, one of the first generation of synthetic humans. With Miranda's assistance, he codesigns Adam's personality. The near-perfect human that emerges is beautiful, strong, and smart—and a love triangle soon forms. Ian

    Book SynopsisA brilliant, emotionally wrenching novel from the Booker Prize winner and bestselling author of Atonement about a leading High Court judge who must resolve an urgent case—as well as her crumbling marriage.One of the Best Books of the Year: The Washington Post, NPR, Vogue, BookRiot“Fantastically pleasurable.... Anything we want a novelist to do, he can do.... Unsurpassable.” —Chicago Tribune Fiona Maye is a leading High Court judge who presides over cases in the family division. She is renowned for her fierce intelligence, exactitude, and sensitivity. But her professional success belies private sorrow and domestic strife. There is the lingering regret of her childlessness, and now her marriage of thirty years is in crisis. At the same time, she is called on to try an urgent case: Adam, a beautiful seventeen-year-old boy, is refusing for religious reasons the medical treatment that could save his life, and his devout parents echo his wishes. Time is running out. Should the secular court overrule sincerely expressed faith? In the course of reaching a decision, Fiona visits Adam in the hospital—an encounter that stirs long-buried feelings in her and powerful new emotions in the boy. Her judgment has momentous consequences for them both.
