The aloof and enigmatic Constance Schuyler lives alone in Manhattan when she meets Sidney Klein, a professor of poetry twenty years her senior, at a literary party. A few weeks later, he proposes marriage and Constance accepts, moving into his dark, book-filled apartment.But Constance is tortured by a bitter past. When her father makes a devastating revelation, Constance''s fragile psyche suffers a profound shock. Her marriage, already tottering, threatens to collapse completely. Sidney can only watch and wait, doubting his own moral strength. Constance''s consolation is the friendship of Sidney''s boy Howard, a strange, delicate child, not unlike Constance herself...A compelling story of a troubled marriage and a damaged family, Constance is also a tale of resilience and loyalty, and of the sudden unexpected glimpse of moral inspiration in the midst of crisis that can lead even the most lost of souls back to the light.

En Dar que pensar se despliegan diferentes registros y tonos expresivos, que van con naturalidad del sarcasmo a la emoción sincera, de la acusación sagaz a la autoparodia. Unos textos que se inscriben en la tradicion moral del genero aforistico sin caer en un moralismo aleccionador; un libro de juicios perspicaces, pero tambien de finas observaciones; muy bien escrito, inteligente y que sortea con gran exito la pretenciosidad y el farrago en los que muy a menudo tropiezan otros. En definitiva, un excelente libro de aforismos.

An epic war between good and evil, a gory, glorious story that will thrill the millions of hyper-devoted readers of The Shining and wildly satisfy anyone new to the territory of this icon in the King canon.King says he wanted to know what happened to Danny Torrance, the boy at the heart of The Shining, after his terrible experience in the Overlook Hotel. The instantly riveting DOCTOR SLEEP picks up the story of the now middle-aged Dan, working at a hospice in rural New Hampshire, and the very special twelve-year old girl he must save from a tribe of murderous paranormals.On highways across America, a tribe of people called The True Knot travel in search of sustenance. They look harmless - mostly old, lots of polyester, and married to their RVs. But as Dan Torrance knows, and tween Abra Stone learns, The True Knot are quasi-immortal, living off the ''steam'' that children with the ''shining'' produce when they are slowly tortured to death.Haunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel where he spent one horrific childhood year, Dan has been drifting for decades, desperate to shed his father''s legacy of despair, alcoholism and violence. Finally, he settles in a New Hampshire town, an AA community that sustains him and a job at a nursing home where his remnant ''shining'' power provides the crucial final comfort to the dying. Aided by a prescient cat, he becomes ''Doctor Sleep.''Then Dan meets the evanescent Abra Stone, and it is her spectacular gift, the brightest shining ever seen, that reignites Dan''s own demons and summons him to a battle for Abra''s soul and survival . . .

Hace más de seis siglos, las personas que habitaban Vitoria, en un contexto en el que debían afrontar grandes riesgos y carencias en su vida cotidiana para sobrevivir, fueron capaces de autoorganizarse y constituir una comunidad vecinal -las vecindades vitorianas- con la que, sin la intervencion ni dependencia de poder institucional alguno, hacer frente de forma colectiva y mediante el apoyo mutuo a los retos que esa supervivencia les planteaba.Sin embargo, la historiografia no ha prestado atencion suficiente a cuestiones basicas que se abordan en estas paginas: su repercusion en la vida de aquellas gentes, las razones que llevaron a su creacion y, posteriormente, a su declive y desaparicion.Cuando el colectivo vecinal del Casco Viejo vitoriano denominado Egin Ayllu se planteo este libro, su objetivo no podia ser otro que fijar la mirada en diferentes culturas, tiempos y latitudes para ver hasta que punto las formas de organizacion comunitaria han sido una constante en la Historia. Cada vez que las colectividades han tenido que hacer frente a sus necesidades y sueños han utilizado algo tan basico como el puro sentido comun y las herramientas que le son mas propias: la solidaridad, el trabajo y la fiesta compartidos.
