About this listen
En los ocho relatos que integran este volumen, Lázsló Krasznahorkai vuelve a deslumbrar al lector con su sagacidad y sentido del humor. Ya se trate de la venganza ejercida por un cazador sobre sus vecinos, del exilio de ciudadanos condenados a una espera insoportable para embarcar en un navío bajo la vigilancia de milicias armadas hasta los dientes o de los intentos de un enigmático personaje de evadir a sus perseguidores, el irresistible ingenio del aclamado narrador húngaro brilla con intensidad. La interrogación sobre las ilusiones, la perfidia, la traición y la desconfianza humanas que atraviesa estos relatos hace de ellos una síntesis perfecta de los motivos que animan el conjunto de su magistral obra.

Prohibido durante años en Rumanía por lo explícito de su argumento, El Ruletista constituye uno de los más brillantes hitos narrativos de la reciente literatura europea. Esta pieza, tan breve como intensa, narra la improbable historia de un hombre al que nunca le ha sonreído la suerte, un desarraigado que sorprendentemente hace fortuna participando en letales sesiones de ruleta rusa.

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.

Annie Ernaux se esfuerza aquí por reencontrar los diferentes rostros y la vida de su madre, muerta el 7 de abril de 1986, al término de una enfermedad que había destruido su memoria y su integridad intelectual y física. Ella, tan activa, tan abierta al mundo. Búsqueda de la existencia de una mujer, obrera, luego comerciante ansiosa por mantener su nuevo estatus y por aprender. Puesta al día, también, de la evolución y la ambivalencia de los sentimientos de una hija por su madre: amor, odio, ternura, culpabilidad, y, por último, apego visceral a la anciana disminuida.

Story4 out of 5 stars 2
Los psicólogos llaman "delirio de relación" al trastorno por el cual una persona porfiada y muy vulnerable cree ver coincidencias en todo lo que le sucede, como si la casualidad obedeciera a una ley desconocida. Pero ¿qué quiere decir aquí "delirio"? Es posible que sea precisamente esa coincidencia de los hechos y las imágenes lo que permite tener por primera vez una vida propia. Los relatos con orla negra de W. G. Sebald cuentan cosas cotidianas e inquietantes, son testigos minuciosos y excesivos de un desajuste pertinaz.

V13: viernes 13 de noviembre de 2015. En tres puntos diferentes de París se producen atentados yihadistas. El más grave es el de la sala Bataclan, donde están actuando los Eagles of Death Metal. El resultado de los ataques en el corazón de Francia es de ciento treinta muertos y más de cuatrocientos heridos. Años después, durante nueve meses –entre septiembre de 2021 y junio de 2022–, se celebra el juicio en el Palacio de Justicia de la capital. Hay catorce acusados: el principal es el único superviviente de entre los terroristas de Estado Islámico que participaron en la masacre.

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.

Pese a que sus padres están convencidos de que Valentino se convertirá en un gran hombre, sus hermanas creen que no es más que un joven vanidoso, egoísta y frívolo, más preocupado por sus conquistas que por sus estudios de medicina. El repentino compromiso de Valentino con una mujer rica pero poco agraciada y diez años mayor acabará con los sueños de sus padres, quienes, escandalizados ante tan desafortunada elección, sospechan de la novia.

Estos tres ensayos nacen de una ininterrumpida, apasionante y apasionada relación con Tirant lo Blanc. El primero aborda la idea de la novela total, anunciada quinientos años antes en este libro de caballerías: «Es la novela total. Novela de caballerías fantástica, histórica, social, erótica, psicológica: todas esas cosas a la vez y ninguna de ellas exclusivamente». El segundo ofrece una imagen más personal de Joan Martorell a través de sus cartas. El tercero defiende la importancia de «las palabras» en la obra.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family."

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 592
When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He'd ride up on his white steed and break the curse I've been fated to carry since the day I was born. Funny how things changed over time, how the fairytale twisted into something far more crooked—and darker—than I ever imagined. In reality, my knight is scarred and broken, living alone in a castle of bones that overlooks the sea. He isn’t searching for me. He never was.

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.
