Look, what I speak, my life shall prove it true;That Mowbray hath received eight thousand noblesIn name of lendings for your highness soldiers,The which he hath detaind for lewd employments,Like a false traitor and injurious villain.Besides I say and will in battle prove,Or here or elsewhere to the furthest vergeThat ever was surveyd by English eye,That all the treasons for these eighteen yearsComplotted and contrived in this landFetch from false Mowbray their first head and spring.Further I say and further will maintainUpon his bad life to make all this good,That he did plot the Duke of Gloucesters death,Suggest his soon-believing adversaries,And consequently, like a traitor coward,Sluiced out his innocent soul through streams of blood:Which blood, like sacrificing Abels, cries,Even from the tongueless caverns of the earth,To me for justice and rough chastisement;And, by the glorious worth of my descent,This arm shall do it, or this life be spent.

Si las cosas que se cuentan, en este libro, hubieran sucedido, en la realidad, la vida podría ser un cuento. Y, para ser sinceros, así es como las recuerdo.Puede ser que haya exagerado, aunque también es cierto que Vallecas siempre fue un barrio exagerado, al pie de una ciudad exagerada. Y, despues de todo, cada uno cuenta las cosas como las ha vivido. Exagerada, o no, la vida es mas que un sueño, es un cuento.

Al presentar a uno de los personajes más famosos de la literatura, Jean Valjean, el noble campesino encarcelado por robar una barra de pan, Les Misérables se encuentra entre las mejores novelas de todos los tiempos. En el, Victor Hugo lleva a los lectores a las profundidades del inframundo parisino, los sumerge en una batalla entre el bien y el mal, y los lleva a las barricadas durante el levantamiento de 1832 con un realismo impresionante que no tiene rival en la prosa moderna. Dentro de su dramatica historia hay temas que capturan el intelecto y las emociones: crimen y castigo, la implacable persecucion de Valjean por parte del inspector Javert, la desesperacion de la prostituta Fantine, la amoralidad del picaro Thenardier y el deseo universal de escapar de las carceles de nuestras propias mentes Les Miserables le dio a Victor Hugo un lienzo sobre el cual retrato sus criticas a los sistemas politicos y judiciales franceses, pero el retrato que resulto es mas grande que la vida, de alcance epico, un espectaculo extravagante que deslumbra los sentidos incluso cuando toca el corazon.

El once de septiembre de 2001 el periodista Mario Palmero fue enviado de la ciudad de México a Nueva York a fin de cubrir el atentado contra las Torres Gemelas. Dado que los vuelos estaban interrumpidos, viajo en coche hasta Manhattan sin soltar el volante durante tres dias, convencido de que pronto estallaria la Tercera Guerra Mundial. Lo acompañaron dos fotografos de guerra: un malicioso corresponsal europeo, cuya carrera se encontraba en declive, y un viejo periodista latinoamericano acosado por sus escrupulos. A medida que recorre un territorio en conflicto, y que la tension entre los viajeros aumenta, el periodista realiza un examen profundo de la vida que ha llevado hasta entonces: de la dictadura argentina que vivio en su infancia y el exilio forzado a la violencia creciente en el Mexico contemporaneo. Pronto el viaje por America se convierte en una investigacion implacable sobre aquello que acecha en todo momento a la humanidad.

Una tarde en el cielo de Tijuana aparecen letras con las que los niños forman palabras como león, perro, felicidad, pero basta un leve soplo para que éstas formen a su capricho otras palabras como encajuelado, redada, sicario. Las narraciones de "Pequeños cuentos perversos", de Hugo Salcedo, ofrecen la misma cualidad. Son historias escritas al amparo de la esperanza que revelan de manera subita los aspectos acidos y espinosos de la vida. Un cantante recibe una llamada inesperada, pilas de cadaveres expuestos al sol murmuran sus tragedias, mujeres que desaparecen y otro Jonas encerrado en una ballena altera su historia. Hay en los cuentos de este libro algo que se oculta, una vacilacion perversa que deja al lector con la velada sensacion de que en el fragil equilibrio en el que vivimos somos al mismo tiempo quien jala del gatillo y quien recibe el balazo.
