With the hangover of Christmas still looming, the most outstanding books of the end of 2024 are still positioned in the list while waiting for the January novelties to come in.
In fiction, the book that won the Planeta award still stands out and is expected to remain on the list for many weeks to come.
Paloma Sánchez-Garnica returns to the convulsive Germany of the World Wars in “Victoria.” In addition, Dolores Redondo continues at the top with “Las que no duermen NASH,” in which a forensic psychologist finds an old corpse; Juan Gómez-Jurado with “Todo muere,” which closes the circle of the “Reina Roja” Universe, and Arturo Pérez-Reverte and his “La isla de la Mujer Dormida” continue to accumulate weeks, as well as the new work by Julia Navarro and Carmen Mola.
In non-fiction, Raquel Peláez's amusing essay “Quiero y no puedo: Una historia de los pijos de España,” an X-ray of the posh in Spain that hides a revealing reflection on a phenomenon that goes beyond an archetype, continues on the list. The third (and last) book in the successful saga written by Juan José Millás and Juan Luis Arsuaga, and the latest from international bestseller Yuval Noah Harari, “Nexus,” an analysis of human communication from prehistoric times to the present day.
