"Un thriller con un ritmo y un suspense perfectamente ensamblados, sobre la celebración del cónclave en el que se elegirá al próximo Sumo Pontífice de la Iglesia Católica.
El libro en el que se basa la película homónima de Edward Berger.
El Papa ha muerto.
En la Capilla Sixtina, a puerta cerrada, ciento dieciocho cardenales procedentes de todos los rincones del globo emitirán su voto en la elección más secreta del mundo.
Son hombres de fe. Pero tienen ambiciones. Y rivales.
En las próximas setenta y dos horas uno de ellos se convertirá en el líder espiritual con más poder de la tierra.
Cónclave fue elegido uno de los mejores libros de 2016 por The Sunday Times y Observer.
Reseñas:
«Apasionante, la versión eclesiástica de House of Cards.»
The Times
«No importa si crees en Dios, en la Iglesia o en nada, Cónclave te resultará enormemente entretenida.»
The Washington Post
«El Papa ha muerto y los cardenales se reúnen para elegir a su sucesor. El escenario está preparado para un enfrentamiento en este espléndido retrato del poder, la corrupción y el engaño.»
The Guardian
«Un relato sobre las maquinaciones a más alto nivel dentro de la Iglesia católica. Un libro fascinante.»
The New York Times
«Robert Harris logra que el mecanismo del suspense funcione como un reloj en este hábil relato sobre intrigas vaticanas.»
Financial Times
«Una novela que explora el poder, la gloria y las argucias del proceso de elección de un nuevo Papa, por el autor de bestsellers más brillante de la actualidad.»
Esquire
«Es un thriller, sí, pero un thriller inusual y distinto, y la clave de su éxito es la extraordinaria galería de personajes. Me cautivó. Posee un ritmo perfecto y una intriga constante y cada vez más emocionante. Su punto de partida es un tema absolutamente secreto y desvela los entresijos. Sin duda, para mí una de las mejores novelas del año.»

"The greatest story never told, this formidable and gorgeously written biography documents the amazing and controversial short life of Calixa Lavallée--the composer of 'O Canada'--and the tumult of 19th-century North America.
The story of 'O Canada' is one of the great unknowns of our collective lives. No longer. This formidable and gorgeously written tale documents the history of this song of a nation, from its origins in French Canada in the years just after Confederation to the surprisingly controversial story of its adoption as Canada's national anthem a hundred years later.
Song of a Nation is also the extraordinary and mysterious story of Calixa Lavallée--the anthem's French-Canadian composer--and his compelling, almost unbelievable personal journey: his early life as a blackface minstrel, travelling throughout the United States for more than a decade; his service for the Union Army in the American Civil War; his production of the first opera in Quebec; and, in a final act, becoming a leading figure in American music education. To understand 'O Canada,' and to understand the man who wrote it, is to return to the Canada of the mid-1800s, just forming as a nation, bringing together ancient racial hatreds and novel political possibilities. More than just a song, in its own story 'O Canada' evokes the history of a country creating an identity for itself out of the unique forces and rivalries of French and English Canada, and looking to the infinite possibilities that lay ahead."
"Random House presents the audiobook edition of Selling Hitler by Robert Harris, read by David Rintoul.
Spring 1983: it seemed that one of the most startling discoveries of the century had been made, and that one of the world's most sought after documents had finally come to light - the private diaries of Adolf Hitler.What followed was a fiasco of fakery, greed, the duping of experts, and the exchange of extraordinary sums of money for world-wide publishing rights. But that was just the beginning of the story. . ."
