Masculino singular é un corte de sangue no medio do afeitado; unha refutación do macho alfa que destrúe os afectos e converte o terror en linguaxe dominante. Tamén é un diario íntimo que reclama a tenrura nunha revolucion de magnolias, pero sen polvora, porque xa non precisamos himnos de batalla nin falos erectos nas portas dos aseos. Masculino singular e un codigo aberto ainda inconcluso, que se construe mais ala do propio texto, naqueles espazos sociais onde alguns homes aprenden unha lingua sen sufixos de exterminio. Porque nada semella mais urxente que procurar unha saida de emerxencia dese templo onde a virilidade segue a ser o valor mais sagrado da tribo.Masculino singular é un corte de sangue no medio do afeitado; unha refutación do macho alfa que destrúe os afectos e converte o terror en linguaxe dominante.

Modern love is never easy. Society is obsessed with stories of romance, but what comes after happily ever after? This is a love story with a difference. From dating to marriage, from having kids to having affairs, it follows the progress of a single ordinary relationship: tender, messy, hilarious, painful, and entirely un-Romantic. It is a love story for the modern world, chronicling the daily intimacies, the blazing rows, the endless tiny gestures that make up a life shared between two people. Moving and deeply insightful, The Course of Love offers us a window into essential truths about the nature of love.

'Love and Friendship' and 'Lesley Castle' provide parodies of the gentry and the fashionable idea of sensibility of the time. 'A History of England' supplies us with a lively chronicle of English monarchic history. Also included in this collection are 'The Three Sisters', 'Catharine', the series of vignettes known as 'A Collection of Letters' and 'Lady Susan', an epistolary story which was recently adapted for the cinema. Taken together, these pieces display all the wry humour, shrewd observation and satirical insight of Emma or Pride and Prejudice.These inventive and entertaining pieces display the early sparkles of wit and imagination of Jane Austen's mature fiction. Written when she was only in her teens, they are by turns amusing, acerbic and occasionally downright silly.

XI Premi 7lletres, 2016La maldat que simbolitzava el llop en les versionsoriginals dels contes classics ha perviscut fi ns als nostresdies. Els llops continuen sent un perill malgratque ara rebin altres noms, malgrat que ara socultin alescola, al carrer o en la propia familia; malgrat queja no visquin als boscos. Els set relats daquest llibre,narrats en primera persona, volen donar veu a totsaquells nens que callen quan un llop els ataca, queno diuen res perque creuen que es normal, quesamaguen perque els avergonyeix la idea que algupugui descobrir el seu malson. Deia Tolstoi que totesles families felices sassemblen, pero cada familia infeliçho es a la seva manera. Ningu no sap que samagarere una porta tancada.

A splendid introduction to P. G. Wodehouse's most popular characters, these comic gems recount Bertie's reluctant involvement in Bingo's misadventures and Jeeves' uncanny ability to rescue his employer from every scrape.In the opening entry, "Jeeves Exerts the Old Cerebellum," Bingo seeks help in persuading his wealthy guardian to accept his socially undesirable fiancee. Mabel the waitress is only the first in a succession of Bingo's romantic interests, which include a parson's niece, a Communist, and Bertie's own fianceeamong others. Eighteen connected stories trace Bingo and Bertie's shenanigans at home and abroad and introduce assorted Wooster relatives, from the terrifying Aunt Agatha to Claude and Eustace, the fun-loving, trouble-making twins. The collection is particularly distinguished by the inclusion of a Wodehouse masterpiece, "The Great Sermon Handicap," in which bets are placed on the length of a Sunday oration and hilarity ensues.

Ils sont tous deux allemands. L'un est juif, l'autre non, et leur amitié semble indéfectible. Ils s'expatrient pour fonder ensemble une galerie d'art en Californie mais, en 1932, Martin rentre en Allemagne. Au fil de leurs echanges epistolaires, Max devient le temoin impuissant d'une contamination morale sournoise et terrifiante : Martin semble peu a peu gagne par l'ideologie du IIIe Reich. Le sentiment de trahison est immense ; la tragedie ne fait que commencer...
