The Life of a Racehorse is a fictional biography detailing the life of a British racehorse from the horse's point…
of view. This book was republished by Cosimo in 2015 in honor of American race horsing, which got a shot in the arms when American Pharaoh became the first horse to win the "Grand Slam" of American horse racing (the Triple Crown, for the first time since 1978, and the Breeders' Cup Classic.) In this book, the horse, Sheet Anchor, narrates his life, from his time as a colt, through his training and racing days, to his sale as a stud from Tattersall's and his retirement. The story is revealed through Sheet Anchor's experiences and the dialogue of the humans he interacts with, including trainers, grooms, jockeys, and his master, Sir Digby. The Life of a Racehorse was highlighted in a 2015 New York Times article bringing attention to the use of the riding crop; it was cited as one of the only references to how horses might feel about its use. As such, horse lovers and race enthusiasts alike can look to this book for better insight into how horse racing has developed over the ages.

"Constaín no ha escrito (solamente) una novela sobre fútbol. La suya es una novela erudita sin ser solemne, brutalmente divertida…
pero nunca chabacana". Juan Gabriel Vásquez El profesor Arnaldo Momigliano asiste en Oxford al legendario "zoológico", un exclusivo conciliábulo en el que los más respetados eruditos en el mundo clásico hacían una pausa en sus serísimas faenas para desmelenarse y divertirse en un campeonato de improvisaciones. Su tema parecía ser inocente: los juegos de pelota de la antigüedad. Pero en su intervención sugiere, nada menos que rodeado de pundonorosos británicos, que el fútbol no nació en Inglaterra sino en Italia. El divertimento académico deriva en un asunto de honor nacional, y para dirimirlo Momigliano desempolva un documento que da cuenta del primer partido de fútbol de la historia, un zafarrancho épico en la Florencia renacentista entre los soldados invasores del emperador Carlos V y los sitiados soldados leales al papa Clemente VII. Literatura Random House recupera, diez años después de su publicación, la segunda novela de Juan Esteban Constaín, una obra "extraña, original", como la saludó Arturo Pérez-Reverte cuando la conoció admirado, y también lúdica, inteligente, gratísima de leer.

ENJOYING FOR DECADES - 300 MILLION COPIES SOLD..ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S 100 BEST FANTASY NOVELS OF ALL TIME."Jin Yong's work, in the Chinese-speaking world, has a cultural currency roughly equal to that of "Harry Potter" and "Star Wars" combined" Nick Frisch, New Yorker"Like every fairy tale you're ever loved, imbued with jokes and epic grandeur. Prepare to be swept along." Jamie Buxton, Daily MailChina: 1200 A.D. The Song Empire has been invaded by its warlike Jurchen neighbours from the north. Half its territory and its historic capital lie in enemy hands; the peasants toil under the burden of the annual tribute demanded by the victors. Meanwhile, on the Mongolian steppe, a disparate nation of great warriors is about to be united by a warlord whose name will endure for eternity: Genghis Khan.Guo Jing, son of a murdered Song patriot, grew up with Genghis Khan's army. He is humble, loyal, perhaps not altogether wise, and is fated from birth to one day confront an opponent who is the opposite of him in every way: privileged, cunning and flawlessly trained in the martial arts.Guided by his faithful shifus, The Seven Heroes of the South, Guo Jing must return to China - to the Garden of the Drunken Immortals in Jiaxing - to fulfil his destiny. But in a divided land riven by war and betrayal, his courage and his loyalties will be tested at every turn.Translated from the Chinese by Anna Holmwood

Prepare to be swept along." Jamie Buxton, Daily MailChina: 1200 A.D.Guo Jing has confronted Apothecary Huang, his sweetheart Lotus' father, on Peach Blossom Island, and bested the villainous Gallant Ouyang in three trials to win her hand in marriage.But now, along with his sworn brother, Zhou Botong of the Quanzhen Sect, and his shifu, Count Seven Hong, Chief of the Beggar Clan, he has walked into a trap. Tricked by Huang into boarding a unseaworthy barge, they will surely drown unless Lotus - who has overheard her father's plans - can find a way to save them.Yet even if they are to survive the voyage, great dangers lie in wait on the mainland. The Jin Prince Wanyan Honglie has gathered a band of unscrupulous warriors to aid him in his search for the lost writings of the Great Song patriot General Yue Fei. If he is successful, the Jin armies will gain the key to total victory over the Song Empire, condemning Guo Jing's countrymen to centuries of servitude.Translated from the Chinese by Anna Holmwood and Gigi Chang
