Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £27.06
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

GANADORA DEL MAN BOOKER PRIZE



«Las luminarias es una auténtica proeza. Eleanor Catton ha construido una vivaz parodia

de una novela del siglo XIX, y al hacerlo ha creado una obra para el siglo XXI, algo absolutamente nuevo».

El Cultural



«Las luminarias es una verdadera proeza. Las páginas pasan volando entre los dedos mientras un universo se abre y se cierra ante nosotros y el alma humana se nos revela en toda su desesperación y su conflicto».

The New York Times Book Review



Un tempestuoso día de enero de 1866, la prostituta Anna Wetherell es arrestada. Un hecho que bien podría pasar desapercibido en mitad de la fiebre del oro que recorre la costa de Nueva Zelanda, si no fuera por los otros tres misteriosos sucesos que se producen también esa misma jornada: se descubre una enorme fortuna en la casa de un borracho sin recursos, un hombre adinerado desaparece sin dejar rastro y un capitán de navío suspende de improviso todos sus tratos y leva anclas... Todos están conectados con Anna, ninguno parece tener explicación.



La reunión de los doce hombres más poderosos de la ciudad para esclarecer la extraordinaria secuencia de acontecimientos y la repentina entrada en escena del joven Walter Moody pondrán en movimiento una implacable maquinaria de destinos y fortunas, tan compleja y bien engarzada como la de los astros en la bóveda celeste.
