Toda a prosa curta de Truman Capote, autor de A sangue frio e Bonequinha de luxo, reunida pela primeira vez em um só volume. Inclui o conto inédito "A pechincha".20 contos apresenta a genealogia de um talento. Das primeiras tentativas, no inicio dos anos quarenta, quando ja era possivel notar o poder de observaço e a habilidade para condensar situaçes em cenas breves, ate o apogeu demonstrado nos ultimos trabalhos, pode-se seguir quase cronologicamente a evoluço da sua prosa.A vida de Capote, ela mesmo merecedora de um tratamento ficcional, tambem serve para traçar paralelos. O escritor era fascinado pela alta sociedade americana, e ela retribuiu a adoraço. Os dois primeiros contos apresentam essa sociedade com uma certa reverencia, enquanto trabalhos tardios, como "Mojave" e "A pechincha", traçam um retrato muito mais cru, e provavelmente acurado, daquela classe. Nos ultimos contos, ele se debruça com olhar agridoce sobre a infancia, passada numa grande casa cheia de primos e tias no sul empobrecido do pais depois da Depresso.Entre essas duas pontas, transparece um tanto da dureza da vida de exilados na cidade grande, um bocado de solido e de coraçes partidos. Um vasto e magistral desfilar de iluses perdidas ate o refugio na infancia, nos contos em que Capote mostra a sua melhor forma.

Circula por internet una anécdota (no se sabe si cierta o no) sobre el grave accidente que sufrió una anciana mientras iba por la calle leyendo su smartphone, al caer, de improviso, en una zanja abierta por el Ayuntamiento. Convendran conmigo que esta historia, completamente absurda, por un lado puede provocar la carcajada y por otro resultar muy tragica, segun como se mire. El libro 20 cuentos absurdos y un adios desesperado, produce identicas sensaciones. En algunos casos, lo absurdo de los relatos conduce al lector a la carcajada o, al menos a la sonrisa, y en cambio, en otras ocasiones, no sin cierta acidez y sorna, los relatos nos llevan al efecto contrario: al drama, a la cruda realidad representada en la anecdota de la anciana hospitalizada debido a la grave caida en la zanja. En este libro los relatos resultan chocantes, imprevisibles y sorprendentes, y hacen pensar un poco sobre lo absurda que es la vida en ocasiones.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is a classic science fiction novel by French writer Jules Verne.The novel was originally serialized from March 1869 through June 1870 in Pierre-Jules Hetzels periodical, the Magasin dEducation et de Recreation. The deluxe illustrated edition, published by Hetzel in November 1871, included 111 illustrations by Alphonse de Neuville and Edouard Riou. The book was highly acclaimed when released and still is now; it is regarded as one of the premiere adventure novels and one of Vernes greatest works, along with Around the World in Eighty Days and Journey to the Center of the Earth. The description of Nemos ship, called the Nautilus, was considered ahead of its time, as it accurately describes features on submarines, which at the time were very primitive vessels.Verne returned to the theme of an outlaw submarine captain in his much later Facing the Flag. That books main villain, Ker Karraje, is a completely unscrupulous pirate acting purely and simply for gain, completely devoid of all the saving graces which gave Nemo--for all that he, too, was capable of ruthless killings--some nobility of character.Like Nemo, Ker Karraje plays "host" to unwilling French guests--but unlike Nemo, who manages to elude all pursuers, Karrajes career of outlawry is decisively ended by the combination of an international task force and the rebellion of his French captives. Though also widely published and translated, it never attained the lasting popularity of Twenty Thousand Leagues.More similar to the original Nemo, though with a less finely worked-out character, is Robur in Robur the Conqueror--a dark and flamboyant outlaw rebel using an aircraft instead of a submarine--later used as a basis for the movie Master of the World.
