Is it 25 years since these 7 novels? You are right. And do we read them or not?

1992 It was a year that we all remember due to various events. Looking back at the literary field I have found a few notable titles that were published then. What if, hace 25 años what notorious surnames like Gordon, Harris, Murakami, Prachett, Jennings, Moccia, and Ellroy published these books. Let's remember.

Shaman - Noah Gordon

Gordon turns 90 now in November and is one of the Most popular American historical novel authors. Perhaps his best known work is this trilogy starring the cole family along the centuries. His first title was the well-known The doctor and this is the second part that continues in the American West and that was published 25 years ago. Closed it Dr. Cole.
En Shaman the doctor Robert Jacobson Cole flees his native Scotland with his son to settle in the new lands of America. After working in Boston, alongside the eminent surgeon Oliver Colmes, Robert and his son will go to the unexplored West to study the unknown Healing Traditions of the Sauk Indians. And on that journey they will meet love, discovery, war and life.

Lesser gods - Terry Prachett

El master of fantastic literature left us a couple of years ago. So you can always pay him a tribute by reading some of his works. This was published 25 years ago and is the second independent novel from the Discworld universe (the first is Pyromides). Prachett parody, with a very English touch, concepts like la war and religions.

Three meters above the sky - Federico Moccia

The undoubted Italian king of the romance novel for teens began its descent into the genre with this title. He told us the story of Babi, Which is a model student and the perfect daughter. Conversely, Step is violent and cheeky. They are from two completely different worlds, but that won't stop them from love each other beyond all conventions. However, it is also a controversial love that they will have to fight for more than they thought. Everything happens in the Eternal City, which could not be a better setting for these modern Romeo and Juliet.

We are in the year 1964 or with a Victorious Third Reich is preparing to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Adolf Hitler. But then the naked corpse of an old man appears floating in a lake of Berlin.

The two, being only children, had shared hobbies and secrets at school. And now, years later, are hopelessly attracted. But Hajime becomes obsessed and seems willing to leave everything for her.

White jazz - James Ellroy

But in the fall of 1958 the feds open an iInvestigation of police corruption and all eyes, suspicions, and accusations are directed at Klein.
