"El pájaro espino, también conocido como El pájaro canta hasta morir, es, sin duda, uno de los grandes clásicos de la literatura contemporánea.
Adaptada a la pantalla con enorme éxito, esta novela ha cautivado a millones de audiolectores en todo el mundo a lo largo de generaciones.
En esta inolvidable novela, McCullough narra una historia que comienza en 1915 y está llena de sueños, secretos, pasiones oscuras y amor prohibido en el interior de Australia.
En ella asistimos a la gesta de tres generaciones de la familia Cleary, pero sobre todo, somos testigos de la relación sentimental de Meggie con el sacerdote Ralph de Bricassart, un párroco cuya ambición lo lleva a formar parte de los círculos influyentes del Vaticano.
Una historia de amor conmovedora, una apasionante lucha entre el deseo y el deber, la vocación y la pasión, pero también una celebración de la individualidad y el espíritu."
"Una emocionante obra llena de intrigas, batallas, crímenes y amoríos.
En el apogeo de su carrera, Julio César ha sometido a sus enemigos y extendido el imperio hasta los confines del mundo conocido. Así pues, concentra sus energías en el bienestar de Roma y en afianzar su poder, consciente de las envidias que suscita. Muchos de quienes lo rodean consideran sus atribuciones de dictador una amenaza para la república. Entre ellos se encuentran el lujurioso Marco Antonio, el resentido Cayo Casio y el virtuoso Marco Bruto, todos en deuda con César, a quien odian en secreto.
Sin heredero legítimo, Julio César, cuyo único hijo es fruto de su relación con Cleopatra, verá en el joven Octavio a su posible sucesor."

"The thrilling new novel from the author of The Thorn Birds
One day,
one city,
twelve murders.
The year is 1967 and the world teeters on the brink of nuclear holocaust as the Cold War goes relentlessly on. On a beautiful spring day in the little city of Holloman, Connecticut, chief of detectives Carmine Delmonico walks into the prestigious Chubb University halls to be greeted by a limp corpse clamped in a bear trap, all traces of life drained from it. And this is just the beginning. Twelve murders have taken place in one day and suddenly Carmine has more pressing matters on his hands than finding a name for his newborn son.
Supported by his detective sergeants, and new team member – the meticulous Delia Carstairs – Delmonico embarks on what look likes an unsolvable mystery. All the murders are different. Are they dealing with one killer or many?
And if twelve murders were not enough, Carmine soon finds himself pitted against the mysterious spy, Ulysses – who is giving local arms giant Cornucopia's military secrets to the Russians. Are the murders and espionage different cases, or are they somehow linked?"
