Finalista del International Booker Prize 2022Pronto en NetflixAutora galardonada con el Premio Pepe Carvalho de Novela Negra 2019 Enigma policial y conflicto intimo se unen en esta novela de la autora de Las viudas de los jueves. Poco despues de que Rita aparezca muerta en la iglesia que suele frecuentar, la investigacion se da por cerrada y su madre es la unica que no renuncia a esclarecer el crimen. Pero asediada por la enfermedad, ella es tambien la menos indicada para encabezar la busqueda del asesino.Un penoso viaje de los suburbios a la Capital y una conversacion reveladora guian la trama de esta novela intima y critica donde el cuerpo femenino es el verdadero protagonista.Elena sabe desnuda a la vez los secretos de sus personajes y las facetas ocultas del autoritarismo y la hipocresia que pueden determinar el curso de una vida. Un relato que rompe el silencio y se pronuncia en voz alta sobre la libertad de elegir. Fue galardonada con el Premio LiBeraturpreis 2010 a la mejor novela escrita por una mujer.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONShortlisted for the International Booker Prize 2022Soon to be a Netflix series.Claudia Pineiro, winning author of the Pepe Carvalho de Novela Negra 2019 Prize.A police mystery and internal conflict come together in this novel by the author of Thursday Night Widows. Soon after Rita's body is found, the investigation into her death is closed. Her mother seems to be the only one unwilling to give up on the truth, but racked by illness she is the least likely candidate to go after a murderer. A difficult trip from the suburbs to the capital, an old debt of gratitude, and a revealing conversation are the facts that are unfolded in this novel. It is an intimate, yet critical novel which holds the female body as its real protagonist as it uncovers secrets, the hidden facets of an authoritarian regime, and societys hypocrisy. This is a story that breaks through the silence and loudly ratifies the freedom to choose. In 2010 Pineiro was awarded the LiBeraturpreis Prize for the best novel written by a woman.

    Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Por primera vez un volumen reune la historia de Espana escrita por Arturo Perez-Reverte durante mas de cuatro anos en su columna Patente de corso del XL Semanal. Un relato ameno, personal, a ratos ironico, pero siempre unico, de nuestra accidentada historia a traves de los siglos. Una obra concebida por el autor para, en palabras suyas, divertirme, releer y disfrutar; un pretexto para mirar atras desde los tiempos remotos hasta el presente, reflexionar un poco sobre ello y contarlo por escrito de una manera poco ortodoxa.A lo largo de los 91 capitulos mas el epilogo de los que consta el libro, Arturo Perez-Reverte narra los principales acontecimientos ocurridos desde los origenes de nuestra historia y hasta el final de la Transicion con una mirada subjetiva, construida con las dosis exactas de lecturas, experiencia y sentido comun. La misma mirada con que escribo novelas y articulos -dice el autor-; no la elegi yo, sino que es resultado de todas esas cosas: la vision, acida mas a menudo que dulce, de quien, como dice un personaje de una de mis novelas, sabe que ser lucido en Espana aparejo siempre mucha amargura, mucha soledad y mucha desesperanza.- Arturo Perez-ReverteENGLISH DESCRIPTIONFor the first time, one volume gathers the history of Spain as written by Arturo Perez-Reverte over the course of more than four years in his Patente de corso (Carte Blanche) column for XL Semanal. An entertaining, personal, and sometimes ironic but always unique tale of Spains turbulent history throughout the centuries. A work conceptualized by the author to, in his words, entertain me, re-read and enjoy; a pretext for looking back through time from the very beginning until the present, reflecting a little about it, and telling it in writing in an unorthodox way.Throughout the 91 chapters plus the epilogue of the book, Arturo Perez-Reverte narrates the main events from Spains origin and up through the end of the Transition with a subjective view, made up of precise measures of reading, experience, and common sense. The same view with which I write novels and articles, says the author, . I didnt choose it myself; its the result of all those things: as one of my novels characters says it, its the vision, harsh yet frequently sweet, of someone who knows that being lucid in Spain has always entailed bitterness, loneliness, and despair. -Arturo Perez-Reverte Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

    Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Tal vez no queria solamente un corazon ajeno para seguir viviendo, sino tambien un corazon ajeno para empezar una segunda vida. El sacerdote Luis Cordoba esta a la espera de un trasplante de corazon. Es un cura amable, alto, gordo, pero su mismo tamano hace que no sea facil encontrar un donante. Como los medicos le aconsejan reposo y su residencia tiene muchas escaleras, recibe hospedaje en una casa donde viven dos mujeres, una de ellas recien separada, y tres ninos. Cordoba, que es bueno y culto critico de cine y experto en opera, goza compartiendo lo que sabe con las mujeres sin esposo y los ninos sin padre. Pronto se ve envuelto y fascinado por la vida familiar y, sin pretenderlo, empieza a desempenar el papel de paterfamilias y a replantearse sus opciones de vida. Salvo mi corazon, todo esta bien es la historia de un sacerdote bondadoso inspirado en un cura real que pone a prueba sus creencias y su optimismo inquebrantable en un mundo hostil. Su crisis existencial, en medio de personajes llenos de ganas de vivir, nos muestra una vision del matrimonio como una fortaleza sitiada: los que estan dentro quieren salir, y los que estan fuera quieren entrar. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONMaybe he didnt want someone elses heart merely to keep living, but to have someone elses heart to start a second life. Priest Luis Cordoba is waiting for a heart transplant. He is a tall, fat, kind priest, but his very size makes it difficult to find a donor. Since doctors advise rest and his residence has many stairs, he is accommodated at a house where two women, one of them recently separated, and three children live. Cordoba is a good and knowledgeable man, film critic and opera expert, who enjoys sharing what he knows with the husbandless women and the fatherless children. Soon he becomes entangled and fascinated by family life, and unintentionally begins to act as paterfamilias and reconsider his options. Aside from My Heart, All Is Well is the story of a good-natured priestbased on a real clergymanthat puts his believes and his unbreakable optimism to the test in a hostile world. His existential crisis, surrounded by characters with a zest for life, shows us a vision of matrimony as a fortress under siege: those inside want out, and the ones outside want in.

    Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Cada novela es un deicidio secreto, un asesinato simbolico de la realidad.Publicado a comienzos de la decada de los setenta y desaparecido de las librerias desde hace muchos anos, este ensayo, que en su origen fue la tesis que le valio a Vargas Llosa en 1971 el titulo de doctor por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, muestra la admiracion del Nobel peruano por Garcia Marquez y por su novela Cien anos de soledad. En el se analiza en profundidad la obra del autor colombiano, companero de Vargas Llosa en el boom de la literatura latinoamericana. Obsesiva; recurrente, una intencion central abraza la obra de Garcia Marquez, una ambicion unica que sus ficciones van desarrollando a saltos y retrocesos, desde perspectivas diferentes y con metodos distintos. Este denominador comun hace que sus cuentos y novelas puedan leerse como fragmentos de un vasto, disperso, pero al mismo tiempo riguroso proyecto creador, dentro del cual encuentra cada uno de ellos su plena significacion. Esta voluntad unificadora es la de edificar una realidad cerrada, un mundo autonomo. Un escritor no elige sus temas, los temas lo eligen a el. Garcia Marquez no decidio, mediante un movimiento libre de su conciencia, escribir ficciones a partir de sus recuerdos de Aracataca. Ocurrio lo contrario: sus experiencias de Aracataca lo eligieron a el como escritor. Un hombre no elige sus demonios: le ocurren ciertas cosas, algunas lo hieren tanto que lo llevan, locamente, a negar la realidad y a querer reemplazarla. Esas cosas, que estan en el origen de su vocacion, seran tambien su estimulo, sus fuentes, la materia a partir de la cual esa vocacion trabajara. No se trata de reducir el arranque y el alimento de la vocacion a una experiencia unica. Pero en el caso de Garcia Marquez la naturaleza de su obra permite afirmar que aquella experiencia, sin negar la importancia de otras, constituye el impulso principal para su tarea de creador.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONEach novel is a secret decision, a symbolic murder of reality. Published at the beginning of the seventies and then disappearing from bookstores for many years, this essay, which was originally the thesis that earned Vargas Llosa a doctorate in 1971 from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, shows the admiration the Peruvian Nobel Prize winner had for Garcia Marquez and for his novel One Hundred Years of Solitude. In it, the work of the Colombian author, Vargas Llosa's contemporary during the boom of Latin American literature, is analyzed in depth. "Obsessive; recurring, a central intention embraces the work of Garcia Marquez, a unique ambition that his novels develop in leaps and bounds, from different perspectives and with different methods. This common denominator means that his stories and novels can be read as fragments of a vast, dispersed, but at the same time rigorous creative project, within which, each one of them finds its full significance. This unifying will is to build a closed reality, an autonomous world. A writer does not choose his subjects, the subjects choose him. Garcia Marquez did not decide, through a free movement of his conscience, to write fiction based on his memories of Aracataca. The opposite happened: his experiences in Aracataca chose him as a writer. A man does not choose his "demons:" certain things happen to him, some hurt him so much that they lead him, madly, to deny reality and want to replace it. Those "things", which are at the origin of his vocation, will also be his stimulus, his sources, the material from which that vocation will work. Its not about reducing the start and nourishment of the vocation to a unique experience.

    Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Matar no es tan extremo ni tan dificil e injusto si se sabe a quien.Tras la aclamada Berta Isla, llega la nueva y esperada novela de Javier Marias. Una intriga absorbente que explora el enves del No mataras.Yo fui educado a la antigua, y nunca crei que me fueran a ordenar un dia que matara a una mujer. A las mujeres no se las toca, no se les pega, no se les hace dano#Dos hombres, uno en la ficcion y otro en la realidad, tuvieron la oportunidad de matar a Hitler antes de que este desencadenara la Segunda Guerra Mundial. A partir de este hecho, Javier Marias explora el enves del No mataras. Si esos hombres quiza debieron disparar contra el Fuehrer, cabe la posibilidad de hacerlo contra alguien mas? Como dice el narrador de Tomas Nevinson, ya se ve que matar no es tan extremo ni tan dificil e injusto si se sabe a quien.Tomas Nevinson, marido de Berta Isla, cae en la tentacion de volver a los Servicios Secretos tras haber estado fuera, y se le propone ir a una ciudad del noroeste para identificar a una persona, medio espanola y medio norirlandesa, que participo en atentados del IRA y de ETA diez anos atras. Estamos en 1997. El encargo lleva el sello de su ambiguo ex-jefe Bertram Tupra, que ya, mediante un engano, habia condicionado su vida anterior.La novela, mas alla de su trama, es una profunda reflexion sobre los limites de lo que se puede hacer, sobre la mancha que casi siempre trae la evitacion del mal mayor y sobre la dificultad de determinar cual es ese mal. Con el trasfondo de episodios historicos de terrorismo, Tomas Nevinson es tambien la historia de que le sucede a quien ya le habia sucedido todo y a quien, aparentemente, nada mas podia ocurrir. Pero, mientras no terminan, todos los dias llegan#ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe final novel from Spain's most acclaimed writer, a novel about a charismatic half-Spanish, half-English man who is recruited by British intelligenceJavier Mariass best work. El PaisAfter his acclaimed Berta Isla, comes Javier Marias long-awaited new novel. It is a mesmerizing intrigue that explores the underside of "Thou shalt not kill." Two men, one in fiction and one in reality, had the opportunity to kill Hitler before he unleashed World War II. Based on this fact, Javier Marias explores the basis of "You shalt not kill." As its narrator put it, "you can see that killing is not so extreme or so difficult and unfair depending on who your target is." Tomas Nevinson, Berta Isla's husband, falls into the temptation of returning to the Secret Services. In 1997, after having been away for a while, he was assigned to go to a northwestern city in search of a suspect who participated in attacks made by the IRA and ETA ten years before. The novel is a deep reflection on the limits and restraints of what can be done, on the stain that comes with avoiding the greatest evil, and on the struggle of determining what that evil is. Against the background of historical terrorist attacks, Tomas Nevinson is also the story of what happens to someone who has already had everything happen to him, and to whom, apparently, nothing else could happen.

The story is set in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, inspired by Hannibal, Missouri, where Twain lived. Tom Sawyer lives with his Aunt Polly and his half-brother Sid. Tom dirties his clothes in a fight and is made to whitewash the fence the next day as punishment. He cleverly persuades his friends to trade him small treasures for the privilege of doing his work. He then trades the treasures for Sunday School tickets which one normally receives for memorizing verses, redeeming them for a Bible, much to the surprise and bewilderment of the superintendent who thought "it was simply preposterous that this boy had warehoused two thousand sheaves of Scriptural wisdom on his premisesa dozen would strain his capacity, without a doubt." Tom falls in love with Becky Thatcher, a new girl in town, and persuades her to get "engaged" by kissing him. But their romance collapses when she learns Tom has been "engaged" previously to Amy Lawrence. Shortly after Becky shuns him, he accompanies Huckleberry Finn to the graveyard at night, where they witness the murder of Dr. Robinson.

    Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. En este libro hay mas lecciones valiosas sobre el oficio de novelista que en cualquier facultad de literatura. Juan Gabriel Vasquez.En septiembre de 1967, unos jovenes Gabriel Garcia Marquez y Mario Vargas Llosa se reunieron en Lima para hablar de literatura latinoamericana. El primero habia vendido ya miles de ejemplares de Cien anos de soledad. El segundo acababa de ganar el Premio Romulo Gallegos por La casa verde. Hoy ambos son considerados universalmente dos de los maximos exponentes de la literatura en espanol, pero por aquel entonces eran dos jovenes que estaban empezando su carrera como novelistas. En Dos soledades se situan frente a frente dos escritores, dos genios literarios, dos maneras diferentes de entender la literatura, dos temperamentos en cierto modo contradictorios, dos formas distintas de narrar. Son los tiempos en que el boom se esta gestando, en los que todavia no se ha acunado nombre para lo que hoy conocemos como realismo magico. En estas paginas apasionantes, el lector asiste a una conversacion sin igual. La edicion incorpora textos de Juan Gabriel Vasquez, Luis Rodriguez Pastor, Jose Miguel Oviedo, Abelardo Oquendo, Abelardo Sanchez Leon y Ricardo Gonzalez Vigil, quienes rememoran, la mayoria en calidad de testigos, aquel dialogo; y, ademas, dos entrevistas al escritor colombiano, una seleccion fotografica, y la valoracion que hace hoy Vargas Llosa de la vida y obra de Garcia Marquez.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThere are more valuable lessons about crafting a novel in this book than in any literature school." Juan Gabriel Vasquez. In September of 1967, a young Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Mario Vargas Llosa met in Lima to discuss Latin American literature. The first had already sold thousands of copies of One Hundred Years of Solitude. The second had just won the Romulo Gallegos Award for The Green House. Today both are universally considered two of the greatest examples of Spanish literature, but at that time they were two young people who were beginning their careers as novelists. In Dos soledades, two writers, two literary geniuses, two different ways of understanding literature, two somewhat contradictory temperaments, two different ways of narrating, are placed face-to-face. These were the times when the boom was brewing, when a name had not yet been coined for what we know today as "magical realism." In these exciting pages, the reader witnesses a conversation like no other. This edition incorporates texts by Juan Gabriel Vasquez, Luis Rodriguez Pastor, Jose Miguel Oviedo, Abelardo Oquendo, Abelardo Sanchez Leon and Ricardo Gonzalez Vigil, who recall, the majority as bystanders, that dialogue; and, in addition, two interviews with the Colombian writer, a selection of photographs, and Vargas Llosa's assessment of the life and work of Garcia Marquez today.

    Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Sergio del Molino nos lleva a un territorio que nos pertenece a todos: la piel.El autor de La Espana vacia vuelve para hacer que nos miremos como nunca lo habiamos hecho.ENTRE LOS DIEZ MEJORES LIBROS DE 2020 SEGUN EL CORREOSergio del Molino es el mas joven de todos, pero tiene tanto a sus espaldas que parece el mayor. De donde saca su capacidad de erudicion y su inteligencia? Es un misterio. La piel es su ultimo libro, un texto hibrido lleno de historias deslumbrantes y de literatura adictiva. -Luisge MartinTendra que hacer como yo: mirar a los demas para evitar mirarse a si mismo.Los monstruos existen y se pasean entre nosotros, quiza seamos nosotros mismos. Este es el punto de partida de la nueva obra de Sergio del Molino, un viaje que esta vez nos ensena a mirar hacia el territorio mas comun y a la vez el mas individual: la piel humana. Una grave psoriasis, que llena el cuerpo de costras y hace imposible mostrar la desnudez, le sirve al narrador para analizar la vida de diversos personajes conocidos que han sufrido las consecuencias de la mala piel. La vergueenza de sentirse observado y la necesidad de ocultarse, la cultura de la imagen y de la hipermedicalizacion, el racismo y el clasismo son paradas de este viaje por los secretos que cubrimos con la ropa y que hacen de nuestra piel una frontera con el mundo.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONSergio del Molino takes us to a territory that belongs to everyone: skin. The author of La Espana vacia / Empty Spain is back to help us look upon one another like never before. AMONG THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF 2020, ACCORDING TO EL CORREO.Sergio del Molino is the youngest of all, but he has so much on him, he seems older. Where does he get his erudition and brilliance? It is a mystery. Skin, his last work, is a hybrid book, filled with dazzling stories and addictive literature.Luisge MartinHe will have to do as I: look at others to avoid looking at himself.Monsters exist and walk among us. Maybe we are the monsters. This is the starting point for Sergio del Molinos new book, a journey that will help us observe the most common and yet the most individual territory, human skin. The narrator uses a serious psoriasis, a body covered with scabs that make nudity impossible to show, to analyze the life of several known characters that have suffered the consequences of bad skin. The shame of feeling observed and the need to hide. The culture of image and hyper-medicalization. Racism and classism. All stops along this journey through the secrets we cover up with garments, making our skin a sort of border to the world.

    Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. El nuevo libro del autor de El desbarrancadero, Premio FIL de Literatura y Premio Romulo GallegosSu ira explosiva es tan brillante, tan sonora, real, sincera, divertida a veces, cruel casi siempre, que su lectura es algo gozoso y tonificante. Pedro AlmodovarEn Escombros, libro que entronca directamente con una de las obras mas emblematicas y reconocidas del autor, El desbarrancadero, Fernando Vallejo narra la llegada de la noche del mundo, ese tiempo que va desde la agonia de su companero, el escenografo mexicano David Anton que coincide con el terremoto que asolo Ciudad de Mexico en 2018 y su muerte, y el momento actual, marcado por una pandemia que mantiene en vilo a todo el planeta. La historia personal del autor, la perdida de su companero de vida de mas de cincuenta anos y su vuelta a Colombia sirven de metafora de la actualidad, un mundo en destruccion en el que el narrador camina por una ciudad en la que ya solo puede ver fantasmas.Desde Ciceron, e incluyendolo a el, los viejos no han logrado decir nada definitivo sobre la vejez. No logran contarla. Acaso porque hace parte de ella el cansancio. El verdadero viejo, digamos uno de cien, esta tan cansado que lo unico que quiere es descansar y no hacerle favores a nadie explicandole cosas. En Escombros no. El viejo maldiciente de este libro estara loco, pero lo que dice me deja maravillado. En todo tiene la razon. Le estoy muy agradecido por su escombrera, se me hace una suma de sabiduria, me disipa muchas incertidumbres, ya se lo que me espera cuando envejezca, la recomiendo ampliamente. Margarito LedesmaENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe new book by the author of El desbarrancadero / The Edge of the Abyss, winner of the Guadalajara Book Fair Prize for Literature, and the Romulo Gallegos Prize "His explosive anger is so bright, so sonorous, real, sincere, funny at times, cruel almost always, that reading it is something joyful and invigorating." Pedro Almodovar In Rubble, a book that connects directly with one of the most emblematic and recognized works of the author, El desbarrancadero / The Edge of the Abyss, Fernando Vallejo narrates the arrival of night in the world, that time that goes from his partners agony, the Mexican set designer David Anton which coincides with the earthquake that struck Mexico City in 2018 and his death, and the current moment, marked by a pandemic that keeps the entire planet in suspense. The author's personal story, the loss of his life partner of more than fifty years, and his return to Colombia serve as a metaphor for today, a world in destruction in which the narrator walks through a city where he can only see ghosts.

    Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Por fin reunida en un solo volumen la aclamada trilogia autobiografica de Laura Alcoba: La casa de los conejos, El azul de las abejas y La danza de la arana.Es lo primero que me llamo la atencion: la precision de esa escritura. Y es lo que siento cada vez que escucho a su autora hablar: la claridad de su voz. Esa voz tan cristalina que vencio a todos los silencios. -Daniel PennacPor fin voy a evocar toda aquella locura argentina, a todos aquellos seres arrebatados por la violencia. Me decidi a hacerlo porque muy a menudo pienso en los muertos, pero tambien porque se que no hay que olvidarse de los sobrevivientes.Por fin se publican reunidas en un solo volumen las tres novelas con las que Laura Alcoba ha narrado una infancia su infancia y, con ella, tambien la historia de la epoca mas convulsa de la Argentina contemporanea: La casa de los conejos, El azul de las abejas y La danza de la arana. Aqui palpita una memoria viva y llena de claroscuros que nace en 1975, poco antes del inicio de la dictadura argentina, atraviesa el exilio en Francia y alcanza hasta la llegada de la adolescencia en un pais que quiza ya sea el propio, pero quiza no. Esta historia a caballo entre un lado y otro del oceano, siempre anhelando una patria imposible, tiene la carga de emotividad que solo el recuerdo de la infancia o la mejor literatura pueden invocar. Ambos estan presentes aqui con una fuerza y una finura unicas. Todo un fenomeno editorial en Francia y ya un clasico de la literatura autobiografica mas reciente.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONFinally compiled in one volume, Laura Alcobas acclaimed autobiographical trilogy The Rabbit House, The Blue of Bees, and The Spiders Dance.The first thing that caught my attention: the precision in her narrative. And what I feel every time I hear the author speak: the clarity in her voice. Such crystalline voice that vanquished silence. Daniel PennacI am finally evoking all that Argentinian madness; all those being snatched away by violence. I decided to do it because I think of the dead often enough, but also because I know we mustnt forget about survivors.The Rabbit House, The Blue of Bees, and The Spiders Dance are finally being published in one volume, the three novels in which Laura Alcoba narrates an infancyher infancyretelling also the most turbulent time in contemporary Argentina.In this trilogy we find a still beating, living memory, full of shadows and light, starting in 1975, shortly before the beginning of the Argentinian dictatorship, going through her exile in France,and reaching adolescence in a country that may already feel as her own, but maybe not. This story astride overboth sides of the ocean, always yearning an impossible homeland, has the emotional baggage that only childhood memories or the best literature are able to conjure. They are both present, showing unique strength and finesse. It is a publishing phenomenon in France and already a classic among the autobiographical literature of our time.
