Un secreto que de repente explotó a finales de 2020 con el estreno de la serie basada en esta historia, conquistando en tiempo récord al mundo entero. Beth Harmon, la protagonista, es ya un icono en la mente de los millones de fans de Gambito de dama: huérfana, solitaria, politoxicómana, competitiva, frágil, genial. Una Mozart del ajedrez cuya inteligencia le brinda tantos éxitos como problemas. Esta novela, adictiva, trepidante, y con una tensión que no decae en cada partida, en cada viaje, en cada momento de abandono de la protagonista, que siempre oscila entre el éxito y el abismo, se quedará en el corazón de los lectores. Y les servirá además como introducción al mundo del ajedrez, que, como Beth Harmon, parece tranquilo y accesible, pero contiene debajo todo un volcán de pasiones y peligros"--Publisher's website]]></description><link>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2378502</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2378502</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[spa]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tevis, Walter S.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2378502163</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle/><language>spa</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9788420460284/MC.GIF&amp;client=alamedacounty&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1240499393</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Man Who Fell to Earth]]></title><description><![CDATA[T.J.

He begins amassing wealth needed to build a spacecraft to bring his people to join him, but his plans get sidelined when he descends into alcoholism. Mockingbird On a post-apocalyptic Earth where humanity has suffered devastating losses, people are drugged from childhood on, there is no art, and reading is illegal. A suicidal machine runs the world, while the passion between two humans provides the only hope for humankind. The Steps of the Sun When the world's richest man travels to the stars in search of the mineral wealth America needs to get it out of an energy crisis, he finds more than he bargains for-and gets more than he ever believed was possible . . . "Among the finest science fiction novels . . . . Just beneath the surface it might be read as a parable of the Fifties and of the Cold War. Beneath that as an evocation of existential loneliness, a Christian fable, a parable of the artist. Above all, perhaps, as the wisest, truest representation of alcoholism ever written." -James Sallis, Fantasy & Science Fiction on The Man Who Fell to Earth "A moral tale that has elements of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, Superman, and Star Wars" -Los Angeles Times Book Review on Mockingbir "Engaging and effortlessly readable." ]]></description><link>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2398520</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2398520</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tevis, Walter S.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 1999 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2398520163</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780795343025/MC.GIF&amp;client=alamedacounty&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=647497767</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Queen's Gambit]]></title><link>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2359108</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2359108</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tevis, Walter S.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Invalid Date</pubDate><comments>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2359108163</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781982597221/MC.GIF&amp;client=alamedacounty&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1078874843</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Color of Money]]></title><description><![CDATA[Fast Eddie Felson forms a profitable alliance with the flashy and talented young pool shark Vince, but all bets are off when Vince's arrogance costs them more than just a few matches]]></description><link>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2250135</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2250135</guid><category><![CDATA[BLURAY]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2250135163</comments><format>BLURAY</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=/MC.GIF&amp;client=alamedacounty&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=&amp;upc=786936824001</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Man Who Fell to Earth]]></title><description><![CDATA[An alien crashes deep into the oilfields of New Mexico with a mission: he must find the brilliant scientist Justin Falls, the one woman on earth who can help save his species.
