Davant daquesta negativa, lAntoni no es conforma i fa una proposta molt desconcertant al director. El credit es, en paraules de Sergi Belbel, una gran comedia sobre leconomia, la crisi, la desesperacio, la fragilitat de les vides humanes i, tambe, encara que no ho sembli a primera vista, sobre les estranyes i insondables relacions de parella.Si a El metode Gronholm Galceran feia una disseccio, en clau dhumor, del que estem disposats a fer els humans per aconseguir una feina, a El credit ens planteja quin es el limit huma davant de la desesperacio economica.

In Sue Monk Kidd's The Secret Life of Bees, 14-year-old Lily Owen, neglected by her father and isolated on their Georgia peach farm, spends hours imagining a blissful infancy when she was loved and nurtured by her mother, Deborah, whom she barely remembers. These consoling fantasies are her heart's answer to the family story that as a child, in unclear circumstances, Lily accidentally shot and killed her mother. All Lily has left of Deborah is a strange image of a Black Madonna, with the words "Tiburon, South Carolina" scrawled on the back. The search for a mother, and the need to mother oneself, are crucial elements in this well-written coming-of-age story set in the early 1960s against a background of racial violence and unrest. When Lily's beloved nanny, Rosaleen, manages to insult a group of angry white men on her way to register to vote and has to skip town, Lily takes the opportunity to go with her, fleeing to the only place she can think of--Tiburon, South Carolina--determined to find out more about her dead mother. Although the plot threads are too neatly trimmed, The Secret Life of Bees is a carefully crafted novel with an inspired depiction of character. The legend of the Black Madonna and the brave, kind, peculiar women who perpetuate Lily's story dominate the second half of the book, placing Kidd's debut novel squarely in the honored tradition of the Southern Gothic. --Regina Marler

-Maialen -galdetu nion gero-, zer da maitasuna zuretzat?-Galdera polita. Maitasuna zer den... -berriro isildu zen-. Aurpegi anitzeko panpina, amaiera anitzeko ametsa, zoramen liluragarria... Nik al dakit! Hainbat aurpegi ditu! Berez, guztiz ederra, baina baita tragikoa ere, askotan. Bizitza beraren parekoa da, Idoia, edo hori iruditzen zait niri, abentura bat, agian. -Ez nabil definizio baten bila, Maialen, zuretzat zer den jakin nahi nuke, horixe besterik ez. -Kinka larrian jartzen nauzu. Zer den... Zer izatea nahiko nukeen esango dizut, zer den esatea beste kontu bat da, oso gauza pertsonala esango nuke. Inork ba ote daki? Idoia hemeretzi urte betetzera doa, eta ia urtebete darama etxetik kanpo, nerabezaro zorigabeak eraginiko zauriak sendatu eta bere bizitza propioa antolatu nahian: libre, inongo presiorik gabe. Horregatik,maitasuna ate joka etorri zaionean, gezurra badirudi ere, nahastuta dago. Ezin izango dio, ordea, bihotzaren bultzadari aurka egin, eta bete-betean murgilduko da maitasunaren abenturan. Horrezkero, azken hilabeteetan gorabehera gutxi izandako bizimodua, erabat aldatuko da, tonu arrosaz eta ilunez betetako kaleidoskopio bihurtu arte.

Considered lurid and shocking by mid-19th-century standards, Wuthering Heights was initially thought to be such a publishing risk that its author, Emily Bronte, was asked to pay some of the publication costs. A somber tale of consuming passions and vengeance played out against the lonely moors of northern England, the book proved to be one of the most enduring classics of English literature. The turbulent and tempestuous love story of Cathy and Heathcliff spans two generations -- from the time Heathcliff, a strange, course young boy, is brought to live on the Earnshaw''s windswept estate, through Cathy''s marriage to Edgar Linton and Heathcliff''s plans for revenge, to Cathy''s death years later and the eventual union of the surviving Earnshaw and Linton heirs. A masterpiece of imaginative fiction, Wuthering Heightsremains as poignant and compelling today as it was when first published in 1847.
