About this listen
Veintiocho autores indispensables de la literatura universal y cuarenta relatos doblemente buenos, ideales para leer en el colectivo o en cualquier trayecto corto.
«Tal vez muchos nos hayamos visto obligados hoy a convertirnos en una suerte de 'lectores en tránsito' aunque deseemos, en verdad, [...] dedicarle a la lectura todo el tiempo que se merece. Mientras tanto, nos parece una buena idea compartir estos cuentos fugaces y permanentes, tan breves como eternos». Del prólogo de Maximiliano Tomas
Un libro indispensable para leer en el colectivo y durante cualquier trayecto corto. Cuarenta relatos breves que, en sintonía con aquella famosa reflexión del escritor español Baltasar Gracián, son doblemente buenos. Veintiocho autores de los más destacados de la literatura universal, entre los que se cuentan Antón Chéjov, Franz Kafka, Katherine Mansfield, Herman Melville, Oscar Wilde y Edgar Allan Poe, quien le dio al cuento nada menos que la entidad literaria que hacía tiempo venía reclamando.
Incluye los cuentos: "La ciencia mágica" de Alexander Afanasiev

"La nada" y "El gigante" de Leonid Andréiev
"El bergantín holandés" de Guillaume Apollinaire

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 9,740
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.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,201
Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Story4 out of 5 stars 2,452
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.
