Story
Hofmiller, un oficial de la caballería austrohúngara, es invitado a una fiesta en la casa de un rico terrateniente Kekesfalva, lo que le lleva a un mundo completamente distinto del de su rutina cuartelaria habitual: se encuentra en un entorno glamuroso, donde el vino fluye libremente y acaba estimulándole, a pedir a la bella hija de su anfitrión que baile con el. Sin embargo para su horror descubre que la joven es inválida. Esta torpeza inconsciente va a ser el comienzo de la pérdida del respeto hacia sí mismo.

José Fouché fue uno de los hombres mas poderosos de su època y uno de los mas extraordinarios de todos los tiempos. Sin embargo, ni gozó de simpatias entre sus contempordneos ni se le ha hecho justicia en la posteridad. A Napoleóni en Santa Elena, a Robespierre entre los jacobinos, a Carnot, Barras y Talleyrand en sus respectivas Memorias, y a todos los historiadores franceses — realistas, republicanos o bonapartistas—, la piuma les rezuma hiel cuando escriben su nombre.

Basándose en las miles de páginas de los cuadernos manuscritos de Leonardo y nuevos descubrimientos sobre su vida y su obra, Walter Isaacson teje una narración que conecta el arte de Da Vinci con sus investigaciones científicas, y nos muestra cómo el genio del hombre más visionario de la historia nació de habilidades que todos poseemos y podemos estimular, tales como la curiosidad incansable, la observación cuidadosa y la imaginación juguetona. Su creatividad, como la de todo gran innovador, resultó de la intersección entre la tecnología y las humanidades.

Publisher's summary
Stefan Zweig nació en Viena, Austria, el 28 de noviembre de 1881 hijo de una familia judía acomodada. Estudió en la Universidad de Viena en la que obtuvo el título de doctor en Filosofía. A lo largo de su vida, Zweig viajó por multitud de países y mantuvo amistad con los grandes intelectuales de su tiempo. Durante la primera guerra mundial tuvo que exiliarse en Zurich a causa de sus ideas pacifistas. De 1919 a 1935 Zweig residió en Salzburgo. En 1935 se exilió en Inglaterra. Durante la segunda guerra mundial se refugió en Brasil. Convencido de la victoria de Hitler y con ella, de la destrucción de los valores culturales europeos, se suicidó, junto a su esposa en Petrópolis, Brasil, el 22 de febrero de 1942. Stefan Zweig es, sin duda, uno de los grandes escritores del siglo XX, y su obra ha sido traducida a más de cincuenta idiomas. ¿Por qué han tenido tanto éxito sus obras? Según Zweig: “el éxito de mis libros proviene de que soy un lector impaciente. Sólo un libro que se mantiene siempre, página tras página sobre su nivel y que arrastra al lector hasta la última línea sin dejarle tomar aliento, me proporciona un perfecto deleite”.
Una partida de Ajedrez es, una reflexión sobre la neurosis, a través de la pérdida de cordura de un hombre a manos de la Gestapo. La acción transcurre en un barco, rumbo a Buenos Aires. En él viaja el campeón del mundo de ajedrez Mirko Czentovicz, al que McConnor, un acaudalado hombre de negocios, reta a una partida. Durante el juego, otro pasajero, el doctor B comienza a sugerir movimientos. Entonces sabemos que este doctor B huye de los nazis, que lo han mantenido encerrado en una casa durante meses, aislado, sin poder hablar con nadie aparte de sus vigilantes. El robo de un libro sobre ajedrez le permitió ocupar su mente en algo y liberarse del vacío intelectual de su cautiverio. Así, comenzó a repasar, una y otra vez, las grandes partidas de la historia, hasta alcanzar estados febriles. Pero esta única ocupación mental, que lo liberó del vacío, terminará por convertirse en una neurosis aún mayor que la de su encierro. Zweig huye de toda descripción superflua, y de diálogos extensos. Su cuidada técnica literaria destaca en la construcción psicológica de los personajes.

Story
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.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Story
Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

Excelente novela corta
Una breve, pero excelente novela, que hace sentir lo que puede suceder en la mente de los grandes maestros del ajedrez.
La narración es aceptable, aunque la constante música de fondo distrae la atención y llega a cansar.

Mucho ruido de fondo
no me gustó, básicamente por la música de fondo, la cual impide escuchar por momentos los diálogos, tal vez sin este ruido de fondo se aprecie mejor.
