	Euler's Conjecture = La Conjetura de Euler. By Bruno Estañol. Translation into English by Eduardo Jimenez Mayo. Spanish-English parallel text. This novel constitutes an apocryphal diary of the French Enlightenment philosopher Denis Diderot, tracing his reflections from the time of his imprisonment at Vincennes to his legendary confrontation with the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler at the court of Catherine the Great. Devotees of historical fiction will not find satisfaction in these pages. Instead, a furiously strange mind, prone to fits of merciless humor and anachronistic embellishments, has constructed a delightful maze for his readers around the problem of humanity's simultaneous fear of and attraction toward the problem of the infinite.

	La revelación del Tercer Secreto de Fátima. By Jorge Cancino. Este libro sobre la vida de Miguel Ángel Poblete o Karole Romanov, y las apariciones de la Virgen María en Chile, revela un misterio que durante la dictadura de Augusto Pinochet hizo temblar a El Vaticano de Juan Pablo II. Los obispos tildaron el suceso de escandaloso y lo atribuyeron al Diablo. La Santa Sede respondió con un silencio activo: el entonces cardenal Joseph Ratzinger autorizó misas, permiso que mantuvo cuando fue electo Papa. Mientras el fenómeno era espiado por la CNI, las potencias en-viaron agentes para reunir evidencias. Los teólogos acusaron a Pinochet de fabricar la aparición para esconder las atrocidades del régimen; el gobierno dijo que los obispos crearon la 'visita' para sublevar al pueblo. 'La revelación del Tercer Secreto de Fátima' es el libro que todos esperaban desde el 13 de octubre de 1917. PRICE: $24.95
