La última es Aramat, donde nos presentan a Tamara y a su marido, que recurren a un vientre de alquiler en Ucrania.Teresa Cardona regresa con un crimen que ocurre en San Lorenzo de El Escorial. A la vista de todos es su nueva novela, donde nos reencontramos con la teniente Blecker y el brigada Cano. ¿Quién ha matado a Maya Vargas?Novelas que llegan a la televisión, vía series de éxito mundial. El caso de de Liz Moore en El largo río de las almas o de los Bridgerton.Y en la sección de Audiolibros, La verdad sobre el caso Harry Quebert.Y entre las últimas novedades, el regreso de Roberto Saviano.
Liz Moore erzählt im Podcast, dass sie beim Schreiben immer selbst wissen wollte, wie es weiter geht. "Der Gott des Waldes" ist ein Thriller über arm und reich. Über ein Survival-Camp. Und ein Mädchen, das verschwindet.
“I think income inequality really greatly contributes to the rage that people might feel, even as some Americans won't. What don't recognize that a more communal society might benefit them. What they see instead is, why don't I have what that person has? Something's getting in my way. And it's not a lack of, of community, it's: somebody else is keeping me down, you know? And that's, I think that's a theme that emerges in The God of the Woods.I think there's a certain thread in American history of, like, individualism at all costs. The Van Laars named their house Self-reliance, which is a testament to the idea that they, I think, falsely believe themselves to have, have created their own power, their own capital, their own wealth, and ignore the fact that it's really the labor of the working class community around them- that, and of the people of Albany who've invested their money in the Van Laars Bank - that that really contributed to the acquisition of this enormous wealth that they now have and this enormous power that they now have.”Liz Moore is the author of the New York Times bestselling novel Long Bright River, which was one of Barack Obama's favorite books of the year, and has been made into a Peacock series starring Amanda Seyfried. Set against the opioid crisis and a string of mysterious murders, it's a love story between two very different sisters and their path to recovery. Moore is winner of the 2014-2015 Rome Prize in Literature. Her other books include The God of the Woods, Heft, and The Unseen World.Episode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast

“ I've lived in Philadelphia for about 16 years. The book itself was inspired by my time spent in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia interviewing a lot of the people that I met there, both longtime residents of the neighborhood and also people who were transient, a lot of people struggling with addiction and a lot of women doing sex work to fund their physical addiction to opioids. You find out about their past, their road into addiction, their aspirations, their fears. I began to lead free writing workshops at an organization named St. Francis Inn, which is a longstanding food service organization in the community. They had a women's day shelter where I taught. I was really able to connect with people within the community on a quite personal level and loved my experiences in Kensington. And I still go, I'm still quite close with a number of the community workers, people who run free healthcare clinics. All of it ultimately informed the writing of Long Bright River.”Liz Moore is the author of the New York Times bestselling novel Long Bright River, which was one of Barack Obama's favorite books of the year, and has been made into a Peacock series starring Amanda Seyfried.

Amerika, Ázia, aj Európa. Finančné trhy po celom svete chváti už od minulého týždňa panika, ktorá má za následok prudký pokles. Viaceré indexy stihli klesnúť o 20 percent oproti poslednému trhovému vrcholu, čo znamená že sme dosiahli takzvaný medvedí trh.Dôvodom je Trumpova colná politika, ktorou operuje voči takmer všetkým krajinám sveta, vrátane Európskej únie či Číny.Čo sa to na trhoch vlastne deje, či je to niečo výnimočné, či budú trhy ďalej padať a čo robiť, ak investujem a dnes vidím na účtoch obrovské prepady?Eva Frantová sa v podcaste Dobré ráno pýta ekonomického redaktora magazínu Index a denníka SME Jozefa Tvardzíka.Zdroj zvukov: BBC News, CBS, CNN, Bloomberg, ABC News, YouTube/WIONOdporúčanieDnes odporúčam americkú kriminálnu minisériu Long Bright River založenú na rovnomennej knihe z roku 2020 od Liz Moore. V hlavnej úlohe policajtky sa predstaví Amanda Seyfried, ktorá pátra po svojej drogovo závislej sestre.

Die 13-jährige Barbara Van Laar verschwindet im August 1975 aus einem Feriencamp. Besonders heikel: Vor 14 Jahren ist ihr Bruder Bear ebenfalls in dieser Gegend verschwunden. Er wurde niemals gefunden. Und seit damals denken so einige Menschen, dass die reichen Van Laars etwas zu verbergen haben ... Ein vielschichtiger, unterhaltsamer Spannungsroman über Machtmissbrauch und gesellschaftliche Dynamiken. Rezension von Sonja Hartl

Zwei Kinder einer reichen Familie verschwinden im Abstand von 14 Jahren. Gibt es einen Zusammenhang? Was verheimlicht die Familie? "Der Gott des Waldes" von Liz Moore ist ein spannender Roman, der auf mehreren Zeiteben spielt. Von Pia Ciesielski.
“With an adaptation, you can never give back your first read. So, what are you taking away? What fills your soul? Why do you want to tell this story? And then that becomes sort of the North Star. And I'm tethered more by that North Star than by the actual moves that are happening in the book,” says Long Bright River showrunner, Nikki Toscano, about adapting Liz Moore's best-selling novel for television. Long Bright River is an emotional suspense thriller that follows Mickey (Amanda Seyfried), a police officer in a Philadelphia neighborhood hit hard by the opioid epidemic. As a string of murders unfolds, Mickey must find her missing sister who's also battling addiction before it's too late – but long buried family secrets stand in the way. On the surface, the show is a highly engaging murder-mystery, but beneath the whodunnit is a love story between two sisters. We chat with Toscano about delving into the sisterly dynamic that is both compassionate and toxic at the same time. Toscano shares tools for building an enticing mystery that includes giving your characters secrets to help drive the story. “I think that in the beginning of anything, you have to determine what your character wants and then put a bunch of people or things in that character's way. So that's how secrets are born, right? And that's how you have your audience leaning in. Is the secret going to come out? Who's going to tell the secret? You and I could be having a conversation and I say, ‘Don't tell anybody!' And then the next scene is you being in a situation where do you tell, do you not tell? It's about setting up those kinds of things. I mean, whenever building any kind of show, whether it's an adaptation or not, determine what your character wants and then stick a bunch of people between them and that goal that either complement or compromise your character's journey,” says Toscano. To hear more, listen to the podcast. Long Bright River streams on Peacock March 13.

Welcome back, my fellow creatives!Yup, I'm back to looking at the first five pages of various stories, for those five pages can make or break the engagement of a reader--or an agent. So, let's scope out the stories of others to see how they hook an audience!One can say a lot with a little, especially when you know your readers. Moore's opening line "The bed is empty" hits a nerve with anyone who has checked on loved ones sleeping, especially children. In the case of The God of the Woods, the opening focuses on counselor Louise discovering one of the campers, the child Barbara, is missing. The sections of opening text are tight scenes between her and another counselor, or her reflecting on the night before. Each section ends with a touch of a cliffhanger not unlike Lee Child's structure in his Jack Reacher novels, which I appreciate. Such sections ensure there's no time for off-topic information, for every second of a disappearance counts. The cliffhangers consistently allude to little things that deepen the severity of an already severe situation, too. Why wasn't the other counselor doing her job? Why would Louise cheat on her partner? Why is it even worse that the child Barbara is missing rather than any other child? We readers want answers, so we keep reading. For those ready to kick the hornet's nest of a past and run like hell, The God of the Woods may be just the mystery for you.And what will we discover in the following story's pages?We'll have to wait and see. xxxxRead on, share on, and write on, my friends!
