January
Eminent novelist
and recent Nobel Prize winner, Lessing offers an alternative origin
story for the human race. Positing that the primal human stock
was female rather than male, Lessing invents a cult of ancient
women called the Clefts, a name derived, in part, from that essential
part of female anatomy.

Mondadori | TR| February
By combining fictional and real characters with
actual facts, dates, and numbers, this book answers many mystifying
questions: Is our destiny predetermined at birth? Is there such
a thing as free will? Is it possible that the past, present
and the future are happening at the same time without us even
realizing it? Can numbers ultimately predict the future?

Is a loved one missing some body parts? Are blondes
becoming extinct? Is everyone at your dinner table of the same
species? Should it worry us that humans and chimpanzees differ
in only 400 genes? Next challenges our sense of reality
and notions of morality. Balancing the comic and the bizarre with
the genuinely frightening and disturbing.

La ladrona de libros
(The Book Thief)

Zusak has created a work that deserves the attention
of sophisticated teen and adult readers. Death himself narrates
the World War II-era story of Liesel Meminger, who is taken, at
age nine, to live in Molching, Germany, with a foster family in
a working-class neighborhood of tough kids, acid-tongued mothers,
and loving fathers who earn their living with their hands.
