About this listen
Partiendo de la célebre meditación de John Donne, Nuccio Ordine amplía su "biblioteca ideal" invitándonos a leer—y a releer—más páginas escogidas de la literatura universal. Convencido de que una cita brillante puede despertar la curiosidad del lector y animarlo a leer la obra de la que procede, Ordine continúa su defensa de los clásicos, demostrando que la literatura es fundamental para fomentar el entendimiento y la compasión entre las personas.
En una época marcada por el individualismo, las terribles desigualdades sociales y económicas, el miedo al "forastero" y el racismo, estas páginas nos invitan a entender que "vivir para los demás" es una oportunidad de dotar de sentido nuestras vidas. Como La utilidad de lo inútil y Clásicos para la vida, este nuevo volumen es una defensa y un himno de todo lo que lamentablemente una parte de la sociedad acostumbra a desairar porque no reporta provecho material.

Estos catorce relatos que Kafka publicó en 1920 reúnen narraciones visionarias cuyos protagonistas—el médico que acude al lecho de un paciente una noche de tormenta, el artesano cuya ciudad ha sido invadida por una temible tribu nómada, el mensajero imperial que jamás llegará a su destino—son hijos de una época en que la vida ha quedado entregada a una lógica impenetrable y la comprensión del mundo resulta inconcebible.

Story
Michael Beard es un físico que recibió hace años el Premio Nobel por un descubrimiento que en los medios científicos se conoce como la Combinación Beard-Einstein -y aquí comienza la feroz, irresistible ironía de McEwan, porque "combinación" implica también simbiosis, confusión-, y desde entonces se ha limitado a vivir apoltronado en sus laureles. Beard tiene ahora cincuenta y pocos años, y se encuentra en el tramo final de su quinto matrimonio, un final que no se parece en nada a los de sus cuatro uniones anteriores, menos emocionales y más convencionales.

Story
Francia y la poesía fueron los primeros grandes amores de Stefan Zweig, que dedicó una buena parte de su obra a sacar de su «aparente oscuridad» a los genios de la creación y contagiar así sus pasiones a los lectores. A petición de la editorial berlinesa Schuster & Loeffler, el joven escritor compuso esta breve monografía sobre Paul Verlaine, su primer ensayo biográfico. Esta pequeña joya publicada en 1 9 0 5, que incluye traducciones de algunos de los poemas más emblemáticos del poeta, inauguró en la carrera de Zweig un género literario en el que desplegaría todo su talento y sensibilidad.

Preguntas aparentemente sencillas, como ¿qué te pasa?, ¿cómo te llamas? o ¿de dónde vienes?, nos van acercando poco a poco al centro más profundo de nuestra alma, allí donde se descubre la herida originada por las cuatro infinitudes esenciales: vida, muerte, tú y mundo. Jamás seremos demasiado humanos: si algún horizonte tiene sentido es el de llegar a ser más humanos.

¿Cuál es el auténtico significado del célebre emblema de Enrique III de Valois? ¿Simboliza quizá la subordinación de las dos coronas terrestres—las de Francia y Polonia—a la corona «celeste», o el advenimiento de una tercera corona «terrenal»? Nuccio Ordine emprende en este ensayo una apasionante investigación sobre las colecciones de emblemas y empresas de la Europa del siglo XVI.

A lo largo de la historia, algunos libros han cambiado el mundo. Han transformado la manera en que nos vemos a nosotros mismos y a los demás. Han inspirado el debate, la discordia, la guerra y la revolución. Han iluminado, indignado, provocado y consolado. Han enriquecido vidas, y también las han destruido.

Story
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.

He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

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.
