Leda es una profesora de literatura inglesa, divorciada hace mucho tiempo, dedicada a sus hijas y al trabajo. Cuando ellas se trasladan a vivir con el padre, en vez de vivir la nostalgia y la soledad que esperaba, Leda de repente se siente liberada y decide tomarse unas vacaciones en un pequeño pueblo de la costa. Pero los días de calma aparente se acaban cuando vemos a esta mujer de mediana edad y mucho criterio huyendo de la playa con una muñeca en brazos.

Todo cambia en la vida de Olga cuando, después de quince años de matrimonio, Mario la abandona por una jovencita. Sola con sus dos hijos, el mundo en apariencia perfecto de la mujer se desmorona. Atrapada entre las cuatro paredes del piso que antes llamaba hogar, Olga no duerme, no come y casi no se reconoce: quien está al otro lado del espejo cuando se mira por la mañana es una mujer que ha perdido todos sus atributos y tendrá que buscar otras palabras que la definan y le permitan seguir adelante.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

Muy buena invención
Me gustó mucho escuchar éstos artículos. La autora es una escritora con gran destreza para narrar y éstos pequeños textos, están cargados de vivencias y de humanidad.
