"Skyd alle de skovskader, I vil, hvis I kan ramme dem, men husk at det er en synd at dræbe en sangfugl." Den lille sydstatsby Maycomb er fyldt med fordomme, vold og hykleri, så da byens respekterede sagfører, Atticus Finch, påtager sig forsvaret af en sort mand, der er anklaget for at have voldtaget en hvid kvinde, får det store konsekvenser for den lille by.Set gennem øjnene på den niårige Scout Finch udforskerHarper Lee med hjertevarmende humor de voksnes irrationelle holdning til race og samfundsklasse i 1930’ernes Alabama."Det er en helt særlig person, der har skrevet denne fremragende roman, det er en forfatter, som besidder den livligste sans for livet og den varmeste, mest autentiske humor. Det er en rørende bog; og så morsom, så vindende." – TRUMAN CAPOTE

The Importance of Digestive PhysiologyDigestive physiology is a fascinating and essential aspect of human biology. It is the process by which our bodies break down food, absorb nutrients, and eliminate waste. Understanding the intricacies of digestive physiology is not only beneficial for medical professionals and researchers but also for every individual who wants to maintain good health and make informed choices regarding their diet and lifestyle.One of the primary reasons why digestive physiology is important is its role in ensuring proper nutrient absorption. The food we consume contains a wide range of essential nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. These nutrients are necessary for the growth, development, and maintenance of our bodies. However, they cannot be directly utilized by our cells. Digestive physiology enables the breakdown of complex food molecules into smaller, more manageable forms that can be absorbed into the bloodstream and delivered to various tissues and organs.Furthermore, understanding digestive physiology can help us make informed decisions about our diet and lifestyle. The digestive system is highly adaptable, and different foods can have varying effects on its functioning. By understanding how different nutrients are digested and absorbed, we can tailor our diet to meet our specific needs. For example, individuals with lactose intolerance can avoid dairy products or take lactase supplements to aid digestion.Digestive physiology also plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health and preventing diseases. Many gastrointestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, and gastritis, are directly related to abnormalities in the digestive system. By understanding the underlying mechanisms of these disorders, medical professionals can develop targeted treatment strategies. Additionally, individuals can make lifestyle choices that promote a healthy digestive system, such as consuming a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and managing stress levels.

Un inquietante retrato de raza y clase, inocencia e injusticia, hipocresía y heroísmo, tradición y transformación en el profundo sur de la década de 1930, Matar a un ruiseñor de Harper Lee sigue siendo tan importante hoy en día como lo fue su publicación inicial en 1960, durante los turbulentos años del movimiento de los Derechos Civiles. Ahora, esta novela más querida y aclamada renace para una nueva era como una hermosa novela gráfica. Scout, Gem, Boo Radley, Atticus Finch y la pequeña ciudad de Maycomb, Alabama, son todos capturados en ilustraciones vívidas y conmovedoras del artista Fred Fordham.

Tanto los admiradores de toda la vida como los nuevos lectores se sentirán conmovidos por esta edición visual especial que une las filas de las adaptaciones de la novela gráfica Una arruga en el tiempo y El alquimista.

Harper Lee explora con humor y honestidad inquebrantable la irracionalidad de la actitud de los adultos hacia la raza y la clase en la decada de 1930. Uno de los clasicos de todos los tiempos, Matar a un ruisenor ha ganado muchas distinciones desde su publicacion original en 1960."

Originalmente fue escrito a mediados de la década de 1950, «Ve y pon un centinela» fue la novela que Harper Lee presentó por primera vez a sus editores antes de «Matar a un ruiseñor». Aparentemente el manuscrito se habia perdido, pero fue descubierto a fines de 2014. Harper Lee trae una nueva novela emblemática ambientada dos décadas después de la historia de la obra maestra ganadora del Pulitzer, Matar a un ruiseñor Maycomb, Alabama. A sus veintiséis años, Jean Louise Finch -«Scout»- vuelve a casa desde la ciudad de Nueva York para visitar su anciano padre, Atticus. En el contexto de las tensiones por los derechos civiles y de los disturbios políticos que estaban transformando el Sur, el regreso de Jean Louise a casa se torna agridulce cuando descubre verdades perturbadoras acerca de su querida y unida familia, de la ciudad y de las personas que más quiere. Los recuerdos de infancia la invaden y ve cuestionados sus valores y fundamentos. Con muchos de los personajes más sobresalientes de Matar a un ruiseñor, Ve y pon un centinela capta a la perfección la situación de una joven y un mundo inmersos en una transición dolorosa para dejar atrás las ilusiones del pasado, un viaje que únicamente puede ser guiado por la propia conciencia. Escrito a mediados de los años cincuenta, Ve y pon un centinela nos ayuda a entender y apreciar mejor a Harper Lee. Esta es una inolvidable novela de sabiduría, humanidad, pasión, humor y espontánea precisión, una obra de arte hondamente emotiva que evoca de una forma maravillosa otra época sin perder su plena relevancia para nuestros tiempos. No solo confirma la inmarchitable genialidad de Matar a un ruiseñor, sino que representa además un complemento esencial que añade profundidad, contexto y nuevo significado al clásico estadounidense.
