En las novelas de Dostoyevski, los niños y los adolescentes suelen tener un papel torturado. La propia infancia del escritor, plagada de experiencias difíciles, le servía de modelo para considerarla una etapa de la vida marcada por la infelicidad. El protagonista de El pequeño heroe es sin embargo una excepcion. Es verano, en una fiesta llena de diversiones y pasatiempos: cabalgatas por el campo, excursiones por el bosque o por el rio, paseos, comidas al aire libre, cenas en la terraza llena de flores aromaticas, musica, danza, teatro, todo tipo de juegos y ocurrencias, risas. Nos rodea un paisaje alegre y soleado, la dulce campiña rusa donde seguiremos el paso de niño a adolescente del "pequeño heroe", a traves del nacimiento de los primeros sentimientos amorosos hacia una bella dama, pero tambien el dolor y la desazon. Una novela deliciosa.

Niños insufribles los ha habido siempre, pero los que produjo el nacionalcatolicismo en España fueron de aúpa. Con el repelente niño Vicente, Rafael Azcona inmortalizó los rasgos de la personalidad de tan desquiciantes almas. ¡Menos mal que contamos con su hermana, la discola Pepita, para contrarrestarlo!Desde el momento de su aparicion se trata del primer libro publicado por Azcona, el exito de esta fabula sin animales fue fulminante, y el personaje, que devino universal, aun forma parte hoy del imaginario de nuestro pais. Del repelente niño Vicente, Azcona publico, ademas, un libro de dibujos titulado Los chistes del repelente niño Vicente y numerosas tiras de humor grafico. Todo ello fue reeditado por esta casa en el volumen titulado Repelencias.¿Por que no elimina usted de su obra todo lo que atenta contra la moral y el patriotismo, la virtud del ahorro, los buenos sentimientos en general y la legislacion vigente? Si asi lo hiciera, yo tendria mucho gusto en autorizar su publicacion para que mi vida sirva de ejemplo a los niños descarriados.

Todo se desmorona en una ciudad que padece muchos de los malos sueños de nuestra actualidad. El desorden impera como un arrebato aniquilador de la vida cotidiana, y nada se mantiene en pie debido a unos sucesos que precipitan la debacle, el tragicomico exterminio de aquellas normas que amparaban nuestra convivencia. La realidad es mas fragil e imprevisible de lo que pensabamos, y hay muchas dosis de maledicencia y calentura en las revelaciones de quien protagoniza esta farsa, un desenfadado gacetillero que todo lo observa desde las esquinas de su vigilancia. La fabula esta servida, muy en el limite de lo que nos tiene acostumbrados su autor, con ese humor disolvente que pone en solfa los comportamientos politicos y morales de un mundo desquiciado.

Una luminosa novela sobre el deseo, la culpa y la libertad de ser mujer en un mundo que lo prohíbe todo.«Yo soy yo cuando sueño. Yo soy yo cuando deseo. Yo soy yo cuando callo y oculto. ¿Quién compre
