Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. CUARENTA Y SIETE PUNALADASUn asesinato que cambio la historia de FranciaUna novela de intriga historica basada en uno de los crimenes mas escandalosos del siglo XIXParis, 18 de agosto de 1847. La madrugada se quiebra con el repiqueteo desesperado de una campanilla. En el lujoso Hotel Sebastian…i, la Duquesa de Choiseul-Praslin yace asesinada, su cuerpo marcado por cuarenta y siete punaladas salvajes. El principal sospechoso: su propio esposo, Charles de Choiseul-Praslin, heredero de seis siglos de nobleza francesa.Pero este no es un simple crimen pasional. Es el estallido violento de todas las contradicciones de una sociedad corrupta. Cuando el Duque muere misteriosamente en prision seis dias despues, los cimientos de la Monarquia de Julio comienzan a tambalearse. Seis meses mas tarde, el regimen caeria en la revolucion de 1848.Historia y ficcion se entrelazan magistralmenteBasada en hechos reales meticulosamente investigados, esta novela explora una pregunta provocadora: Y si el Duque no hubiera muerto? Y si las mas altas esferas del poder hubieran orquestado su escape para evitar un juicio que expondria la corrupcion de toda la aristocracia?La narrativa nos lleva desde los salones dorados de Paris hasta las montanas de Nicaragua, siguiendo el viaje de redencion de un asesino que debe vivir con el peso de su crimen. Bajo la identidad de Francisco Lebrun, el antiguo Duque se convierte en medico rural, dedicando su vida a sanar en un intento desesperado por expiar su pecado.Personajes complejos y memorablesCharles de Choiseul-Praslin: Aristocrata caido que busca redencion en el exilio, transformandose de asesino en sanador.Fanny Sebastiani: La Duquesa asesinada, victima de un matrimonio sin amor y los celos destructivos.Henriette Deluzy: La institutriz acusada de adulterio, atrapada entre dos mundos sociales.Etienne-Denis Pasquier: El Canciller que orquesta la conspiracion, sacrificando justicia por estabilidad.Margarita Arauz: La mujer nicaragueense que ofrece al Duque una segunda oportunidad.Temas universales que trascienden epocasLa novela explora preguntas fundamentales: Es posible la redencion despues del crimen mas atroz? Puede una vida dedicada al bien compensar el mal causado? Que sucede cuando la justicia es sacrificada por la politica?A traves de una prosa envolvente, el autor recrea tanto el esplendor decadente del Paris de 1840 como la belleza salvaje de la Nicaragua colonial. Las descripciones transportan al lector desde palacios manchados de sangre hasta plantaciones de cafe donde el protagonista busca su penitencia.Mas que una novela historica"Cuarenta y Siete Punaladas" es una meditacion sobre poder, privilegio y consecuencias. Es la historia de como un crimen personal puede catalizar el colapso politico. Es una exploracion de la culpa, el perdon y los limites de la redencion humana.Con investigacion historica impecable e imaginacion narrativa audaz, esta novela ofrece tanto a amantes de la historia como a lectores de ficcion literaria una experiencia inolvidable. Cada pagina revela las complejidades morales de una epoca y las eternas preguntas sobre justicia y misericordia.Una obra que desafia y cautivaPara lectores que disfrutaron de "El Nombre de la Rosa", "Los Miserables" o "Cien Anos de Soledad", esta novela ofrece una combinacion unica de rigor historico, intriga politica y profundidad psicologica en una narrativa imposible de abandonar.Descubra como un asesinato en Paris lleva a una vida de penitencia en Nicaragua, y como los fantasmas del pasado nunca descansan verdaderamente.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In The Virtuous Life: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Living, Jaime Pasquier draws on four decades as the founder and CEO of a financial services firm to argue that lasting success - in business and in life - is built not from what we accumulate, but from who we become.Part philosophy, part history…of ideas, this book traces the thinkers who built Western civilization - from Socrates and Aristotle to the scientists and reformers who shaped the modern world - and asks why affluent societies, despite everything they've achieved, so reliably lose their way. The answer is ancient, practical, and urgently needed: the deliberate cultivation of character through wisdom, courage, justice, and self-mastery.For anyone who has achieved what they set out to achieve - and quietly wonders if this is all there is - this is not another productivity system. It is a foundation.The examined life isn't a luxury. It's the only one worth living. "Pasquier writes like someone who has actually wrestled with these ideas across a long career. By the third chapter I had put down my phone and gotten out a notebook. Highly recommended for anyone asking whether the scoreboard they've been keeping is the right one." - Verified Reviewer "The book I didn't know I needed. Pasquier has a gift for making ideas that feel distant become immediately relevant - he doesn't lecture, he reasons, and you find yourself reasoning alongside him. Give it the attention it asks for and it gives back considerably more." - Verified Reviewer This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. A Peer of France. A murdered duchess. A death that never happened.In the gray dawn of August 18, 1847, the Duchesse de Choiseul-Praslin was found in her Paris bedroom, her throat cut, her body bearing forty-seven wounds. Her husband - a Peer of France, heir to a name six centuries old - stood…accused. But a public trial would have exposed every secret of a rotting aristocracy, and the most powerful men in France could not allow it. Six days later, the Duke was pronounced dead by his own hand. The scandal helped topple a monarchy. It was also a lie.Behind the sealed coffin, the living Duke was spirited out of France under a dead man's name, in the keeping of a single young guardian - Gaston d'Audiffret-Pasquier, the old Chancellor's heir, bound to carry the secret to the far side of the world. Their road runs from the salons of Paris to the docks of New York and, at last, into the volcano country of Nicaragua - where a murderer must reckon with what, if anything, can be built from the ruins of the man he was.Spanning thirty-five years and two continents, The Last Aristocrats is a sweeping story of guilt, exile, and the fragile hope of redemption: two men living under borrowed names, the families they make and the families they leave behind, and the women who must decide whether to forgive them. Drawn from real history - and from the author's own fifteen-year genealogical search, with its jurist in the Nicaraguan highlands, its nine-year silence in a French family's records, and its unexplained relic on a Normandy mantel - it asks the question no court would answer: can a life spent healing ever weigh against a life taken in violence?The powerful protect their own. The archives burn. But the dead cry out for the truth - long after the living have conspired to bury it.For readers of literary historical fiction - and for anyone moved by the true crime behind Rachel Field's All This, and Heaven Too.
