La Gata roja y otros cuentos tristes reune una colección de relatos que obtuvo el II Premio Internacional "Una palabra otra". El libro está dividido en tres partes que desarrollan temáticas relacionadas con leyendas, encuentros fantasmales, e historias magicas,con el amor ysu perdida, con la muerte y ciertas fantasias morbosas en las que los personajes se vengan de sus enemigos: muñecas que adquieren vida, poetas resentidos, delirantes que imponen su vision desatinada del mundo.

Se desarrollan unas secuencias para mostrar los momentos en que se discrimina a alguien por sus limitaciones, ya sean físicas o psíquicas. Frente a las aptitudes de unos que se consideran superiores a otros, conviene caer en la cuenta que las actitudes de los discriminados pueden ayudarles a superar sus propias limitaciones, incorporando a sus vidas otras aptitudes. En esta narrativa se muestra a unos personajes que nos conducen a hacer esta reflexion: La ardilla es un animal agil para trepar y saltar entre los arboles, mientras que el niño tiene habilidades para resolver situaciones. El zorro es astuto y veloz en la carrera, mientras que el niño muestra su propia inteligencia. El mirlo vuela con soltura y libertad, el niño tiene imaginacion y autonomia para actuar. La rana es observadora y escurridiza, mientras que el niño siente curiosidad por todo lo que le rodea. El lince tiene una excelente vision, el niño tiene fuerza de voluntad y afan de superacion. De esta manera se pretende hacer una reflexion sobre la discriminacion que se sufre cuando no tenemos las mismas oportunidades que los demas sin dejar de ser uno mismo, con sus limitaciones y cualidades.

The tale of young Jim Hawkins and his unlikely band of adventurers strikes at the very heart of our own desire to lose ourselves among hidden chests, cryptic maps, and treacherous companions.Set in the eighteenth century, Treasure Island spins a heady tale of piracy, a mysterious treasure map, and a host of sinister characters charged with diabolical intentions. Seen through the eyes of Jim Hawkins, the cabin boy of the Hispaniola, the action-packed adventure tells of a perilous sea journey across the Spanish Main, a mutiny led by the infamous Long John Silver, and a lethal scramble for buried treasure on an exotic isle.Rich in atmosphere and character, Treasure Island continues to mesmerize readers with its perceptive views of the changing nature of human motives.
