A veces encontramos el pasado comoun tesoro enterrado en el sedimento,aguardando a ser rescatado, pero otrasveces, el pasado parece encontrarnos anosotros. Es un felino agazapado del otrolado de la puerta. Siempre tiene hambre.La inolvidable primera novela de Alonso Burgos traza una orbita deslumbrante a traves de la memoria, la amistad y los ecos de un Mexico fracturado. Con una prosa que fluye como un rio de conciencia, Burgos nos invita a un viaje nocturno en un viejo Cadillac, donde el pasado y el presente colisionan bajo la luz incierta de un acertijo sin resolver; entre la musica, la fiesta y varios presagios oscuros. Desde las calles sinuosas de un suburbio de promesas rotas, hasta los rincones mas intimos de un departamento en Berlin, la narrativa de Burgos logra un delicado equilibrio para la crudeza de la realidad y la lirica evocativa de los sueños, mientras la tragedia de un terremoto se convierte en el telon de fondo de un amor que florece en medio de los escombros y luego languidece en la distancia.Satelite es una meditacion profunda sobre la pertenencia yel desarraigo, un recordatorio de que en la fragmentacion, la distancia y el estruendo del mundo hay una busqueda incansable de lo que fuimos y un atisbo de lo que podemos llegar a ser.

Una novela sobre crecer, recordar y decidir quiénes somos cuando las versiones de nuestro pasado no encajan. Una historia de personas que buscan, entre fragmentos, cómo contarse a sí mismas.Begoña llega a Madrid para empezar una nueva vida: una carrera universitaria, un piso compartido y la promesa de una libertad por estrenar. Pero el pasado no se queda atras tan facilmente. El fantasma de su madre muerta la visita con frecuencia, sus abuelas guardan un silencio denso sobre la historia familiar y su propio cuerpo con ansiedad, deseo, miedo le impide echar raices.Cuando, por casualidad, se topa con una vieja portada de El Caso sobre El Lute, Begoña se lanza a una investigacion personal que se convierte en obsesion. Decide proponer su historia para una obra de teatro en la Complutense. Pronto, lo que parecia una biografia ajena se entrelaza con los huecos de su propia genealogia: la figura de su madre, la sombra de l su abuelo, la Transicion y la memoria colectiva se entrelazan en un mismo relato, revelando hasta que punto los silencios y las heridas tambien se heredan.

Who are these women who bear striking resemblances to them? And what is their connection to the selective student accommodation on the edge of campus, Dorley Hall?Stefan starts studying at Saint Almsworth for one reason and one reason only: to find out exactly what happened to the women who live at Dorley Hall, and to get it to happen to him, too.

Un regreso a la Nothomb más osada, íntima y autobiográfica.Los psicopompos son figuras mitológicas encargadas de guiar a las almas en su tránsito al más allá. Aunque Orfeo no lo sea en sentido estricto como si lo es Hermes, por ejemplo, desciende al Hades con la esperanza de rescatar a su amada Euridice. Ese gesto desesperado lo convierte en uno de los pocos mortales capaces de cruzar el umbral que separa la vida de la muerte y de caminar, por un instante, entre ambos mundos.Amelie Nothomb hace algo parecido con cada nuevo libro: de cuatro a ocho de la mañana, todos los dias sin excepcion, se entrega a la pagina en blanco con la esperanza de no haber desaprendido a escribir, como un pajaro que nunca olvida como volar. Y no falla ni un solo dia, porque, si dejara de hacerlo, segun confesaba años atras en una entrevista, entraria en un proceso de autodestruccion. La literatura se convirtio, hace tiempo, en la unica forma que encontro de entregarse a la ebriedad del vacio: cada mañana se lanza al cielo, se regocija en el aire y consigue aterrizar en un suelo que no cede.Precisamente de eso trata Psicopompo: de volar. El amor de Nothomb por los pajaros desemboco en una suerte de mimesis forzada cuando, a los doce años, vivio el episodio mas doloroso de su vida: un abuso que derivo en la anorexia que la acompañaria toda su adolescencia. Si escribo es para que el hielo no se solidifique dentro de mi, afirma. La escritura se convierte asi en su renacimiento: la forma de sobrevolar un cuerpo hostil y enfermo y una mente obsesionada con la destruccion.Con Psicopompo, probablemente su texto mas personal y arriesgado hasta la fecha, Nothomb ofrece una reveladora vision de conjunto de su obra y añade un nuevo capitulo a su autobiografia, que la consagra, una vez mas, como una de las autoras mas singulares e imprescindibles de nuestro tiempo.

A través de una cuidada selección de su obra, Anabel Torres condensa en este libro su travesía vital y literaria, regalándonos la persistencia de un latido: el de una autora que observa, confronta al mundo y convierte su paso por la tierra en poesia.Desde la rebeldia de sus primeros libros hasta la vivaz contundencia de su madurez literaria, esta antologia contiene la voz de una autora valiente y original. Sus versos no son un ejercicio confesional, sino una indagacion ontologica, cuyo lenguaje se convierte en un espacio de resistencia y distension. Porque, como suele decir la poeta, todas las palabras importan. Quien habla en estos poemas no esta sola. Ella es, mas bien, un coro que canta al unisono para decir nosotras.Anabel Torres es una figura fundamental de las letras colombianas. Este libro representa un equilibrio perfecto entre el rigor intelectual y la exquisita sensibilidad que la han caracterizado a lo largo de los años. Decir nosotras es un placer para los sentidos, y un pellizco para las conciencias. Lo recomiendo vivamente. Lauren Mendinueta

A child is born with an insatiable hunger. As a ravenous infant she is the undoing of her mother; under her fathers adoring gaze, her body grows and grows. Her father claims she devoured her twin sister in the womb. Her classmates delight in tormenting her for her size. And inside this girl, so alone and so enraged, another hunger is born-for revenge.Bizarrely poetic and grotesquely humorous, All Flesh is a twisted fairy tale that tears apart hypocrisies around beauty, gender and a culture that relentlessly consumes the marginalized.

DESCUBRE A LA INVESTIGADORA LEONORE ASKER. Una novela negra que lo tiene todo. Deckarlogg Esta entrega supera incluso a la anterior: estamos ante una lectura adictiva que te mantendra atrapado hasta el final.

El caso se remonta diez años atras: una mujer fue asesinada en una fabrica abandonada en medio del bosque, con un dedo amputado y una runa grabada en el suelo, la misma que acompañaba el cuerpo de la Joven Gris, una momia legendaria asesinada y enterrada en ese bosque hace mas de mil años. Cuando una chica aparece de noche, desorientada y sosteniendo el dedo de la victima, el caso se reabre. Con la ayuda de Martin Hill, Leo se adentrara en un enigma de ecos mitologicos que hunde sus raices en la Edad de Hierro y en los secretos del inquietante Bosque de Oxido.

In these two novellas and three short stories for adult readers, Hans Christian Andersen displays the imagination and descriptive brilliance familiar from his fairy tales, but turns his eye to subtler social themes: class mobility in a changing Europe; the unfairness with which talents and opportunities are meted out in this world; the struggle between natures claims on humanity and civilizations.The title novella, The Ice Virgin, unites all these ideas in a piece of beautifully structured storytelling considered by some to be Andersens masterpiece. Rudy is orphaned young, rescued as an infant from a glacial crevasse where his mother fell and died. He lives, but the stunning yet unforgiving mountain landscape of Switzerland may yet claim him. His love for the rich millers daughter Babette brings out all his bravery and ingenuity - but also his stubbornness and resistance to change. In a masterfully ambivalent climax Andersen makes us wonder what happiness and fulfilment truly mean.Elsewhere in the collection Andersen turns his gaze to the hostile shores and wooded heights of Denmarks Jutland, where in his time submissive poverty was giving way to feverish social transformation. We meet a shipwrecked youngster struggling to fit into his adopted community, a couple whose wise humility echoes down the wealthy generations that follow with comically unexpected effects, and a steadfast friend whose saintly patience is ill rewarded by the object of her loyalty. Full of irony, enchanting imagery and bravura prose, these stories showcase Andersens perceptiveness, empathy, and deep engagement with the world around him.
