Although the trip is lively and entertaining, it will also put severe strain on the bond between mother and son, not to mention their mutual capacity for alcohol.</p><

<p>"The most important Argentinian writer since Borges." — </p><p>Many of the characters who populate Juan José Saer's other novels appear here, including Tomatis, Ángel Leto, and Washington Noriega (who appear in , and , all of which are available from Open Letter).

<p>The most distinctive thing about the Gamal sisters is that they are, essentially, indistinguishable (except for a modest mole). The twin spinsters spend their time trying to mask any perceptible differences they have while working hard at their thriving tailoring business in a small town in rural northern Mexico. When? Thirty years ago? Fifty years ago? Who can say — the world seems not to intrude on Ocampo very much.</p><p>Gloria and Constitution take an almost perverse delight in confusing people about which one is which. But then a suitor enters the picture, and one of the sisters decides that she doesn't want to live a life without romance and all the good things that come with it.

Donald Trump y Robert Kiyosaki están preocupados. Les alarma que los ricos son cada vez más ricos y Estados Unidos es cada vez más pobre. Al igual que las capas de hielo en los polos, la clase media está desapareciendo. Estados Unidos está convirtiéndose en una sociedad dividida en dos clases. Pronto serás rico o pobre, Donald y Robert quieren que seas rico.Este fenómeno —la desaparición de la clase media— es un problema global, pero sucede sobre todo en los países ricos del Grupo de los Ocho (Inglaterra, Francia, Alemania, Japón, entre otros).Alan Greenspan, ex presidente de la Junta de la Reserva Federal de Estados Unidos, afirmó: “Como he dicho frecuentemente, ésta no es la clase de problema que una sociedad democrática —capitalista— pueda admitir sin tomar cartas en el asunto”. Asimismo, explicó que la brecha entre los ingresos de los ricos y el resto de la población estadounidense es tan grande, y crece a tal velocidad, que puede poner en riesgo la estabilidad del capitalismo democrático.<

<p>Compared by magazine to a contemporary , Alexander Stuart’s was chosen as Best Novel of the Year for Britain’s prestigious Whitbread Prize when it was first published, but was instantly stripped of the award amid controversy among the judges, due to the novel’s stark and uncompromising portrayal of incest and adolescent fury, when its teenage narrator, Tom, stumbles upon a complex and intensely abusive relationship between his older sister, Jessie, and their father.</p><p>The novel has been published in eight languages and was turned into a searingly emotional film directed by Oscar-nominated actor/director, Tim Roth, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and went on to win international critical acclaim and many awards.</p><p>This newly revised 20 Anniversary Edition includes an Afterword by Tim Roth, explaining what drew him to this controversial and painful subject matter for his directorial debut, together with both the original British and American opening chapters of the book, and Alexander Stuart’s diary of the making of the film.</p><

En los últimos años son muchas las ediciones del Necronomicón que han sido publicadas. Sin embargo, ninguna es la obra prohibida del sabio maldito Abdul Alhazred, el árabe loco nacido en el Yemen que encontró los perdidos arcanos en el terrible desierto del Roba el Khaliyeh junto a los tenebrosos e invisibles moradores de las arenas.Él llamó a su obra Al Azif, el ruido de los insectos, que fue llamado Necronomicón primero en griego y luego en latín, siendo esta la traducción griega del erudito Teodoro Philetas hecha en Constantinopla en el año 950, y posteriormente vertida por Olaus Wornius en el año del Señor de 1228.<

Desde siempre los Cleve han tenido la sana costumbre de rememorar juntos de la historia familiar. Todos hablan de todo, pero nadie se atreve a recordar la tarde de verano en que el pequeño Robin apareció ahorcado de un árbol del patio trasero de la casa. La sorpresa y el dolor han trastornado a la señora Cleve, que desde entonces deambula como un fantasma por las habitaciones sucias, mientras el padre cura sus males en brazos de otras mujeres, y la abuela saca fuerzas de flaqueza para dominar tanta locura. Harriet, la hermana menor de Robin, era un bebé cuando tuvo lugar el crimen, y ahora es una niña de doce años con las rodillas llenas de rasguños y el ánimo peleón de quien acaba de estrenarse en la vida. Es ella la única que parece preocuparse por saber el nombre del asesino, pero ¿será capaz de resolver un caso que la policía ya tenía archivado?<

El visitante y otras historias recoge la obra póstuma de Thomas, relatos seleccionados por él mismo, que abarcan cronológicamente desde 1930 hasta 1953, poco antes de su muerte.<

<p>Last Night</p><

Para Dylan Thomas la poesía fue destino en el sentido que Hegel dio a esa palabra. Destino trágico, polémico, iluminado. Entendemos que el no reconocer este destino conduce a los reinos sin compromiso o falsamente comprometidos donde la poesía en función de otra cosa extravía su esencia. ¿Consiste la crisis actual de la poesía en el olvido o menosprecio de este destino?Del «prólogo» de Elizabeth Azcona Cranwell<

En este libro se reúne toda la producción literaria en prosa que el genial autor galés desarrolló a lo largo de su vida. De esta manera, el lector podrá acceder a la obra de un escritor más conocido por su poesía.Desde los primeros relatos, en los que Thomas aún no había conseguido trazar la frontera entre la prosa y la poesía, pasando por el célebre Retrato de un artista cachorro, único libro de cuentos publicado como tal por el autor en vida, hasta los primeros capítulos de la novela que jamás llegó a terminar y los relatos de juventud hallados en sus cuadernos de apuntes tras su fallecimiento, este libro es, sin duda, una forma privilegiada de acercarse a la obra menos conocida de quien Anthony Burgess calificara con certeza como «un narrador exquisito».<

Seemingly the simplest of stories — a passing anecdote of village life — opens up into a tale of almost unendurable suspense. This jewel-like novella by the writer that Thomas Mann praised as "one of the most extraordinary, the most enigmatic, the most secretly daring and the most strangely gripping narrators in world literature" is among the most unusual, moving, and memorable of Christmas stories. Two children — Conrad and his little sister, Sanna — set out from their village high up in the Alps to visit their grandparents in the neighboring valley. It is the day before Christmas but the weather is mild, though of course night falls early in December and the children are warned not to linger. The grandparents welcome the children with presents and pack them off with kisses. Then snow begins to fall, ever more thickly and steadily. Undaunted, the children press on, only to take a wrong turn. The snow rises higher and higher, time passes: it is deep night when the sky clears and Conrad and Sanna discover themselves out on a glacier, terrifying and beautiful, the heart of the void. Adalbert Stifter's rapt and enigmatic tale, beautifully translated by Elizabeth Mayer and Marianne Moore, explores what can be found between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day — or on any night of the year.<

<p>A powerful Catalan author gives us a penetrating story of meaningless deaths and personal isolation, set in the heart of one of Spain’s most beautiful, vibrant places.</p><p>In the once-bucolic village of Vidreres, already decimated by a harsh recession, two young men have just died in a horrible car crash. As the town attends the funeral, a banker named Ernest heads to the tree where the boys died to try and make sense of what happened. There he meets a brutish trucker who has taken a liking to Iona, the fiancée of one of the dead boys. But Iona is already, only the day after the accident, being pursued by a failed, perhaps psychotic, artist. These four characters, their lives and voices intertwined, grapple with their own guilt over the unfathomable loss of the boys, and perhaps their whole town.</p><p>Long known as one of Spain’s most powerful Catalan authors, Toni Sala is at his mischievous best in The Boys, delivering a sinister, fast-moving tale laced with intricate meditations on everything from Internet hookups to Spain’s economic collapse to the incomprehensibility of death.

<p>A number-one international bestseller reminiscent of the works of Roberto Bolaño, Carlos Ruiz Zafon, and Edward Rutherford — a page-turning historical epic, set in early eighteenth-century Spain, about a military mastermind whose betrayal ultimately leads to the conquest of Barcelona, from the globally popular Catalonian writer Albert Sánchez Piñol.</p><p>Why do the weak fight against the strong? At 98, Martí Zuviría ponders this question as he begins to tell the extraordinary tale of Catalonia and its annexation in 1714. No one knows the truth of the story better, for Martí was the very villain who betrayed the city he was commended to keep.</p><p>The story of Catalonia and Barcelona is also Martí’s story. A prestigious military engineer in the early 1700s, he fought on both sides of the long War of the Spanish Succession between the Two Crowns — France and Spain — and aided an Allied enemy in resisting the consolidation of those two powers. Politically ambitious yet morally weak, Martí carefully navigates a sea of Machiavellian intrigue, eventually rising to a position of power that he will use for his own mercenary ends.</p><p>A sweeping tale of heroism, treason, war, love, pride, and regret that culminates in the tragic fall of a legendary city, illustrated with battle diagrams, portraits of political figures, and priceless maps of the old city of Barcelona, Victus is a magnificent literary achievement that is sure to be hailed as an instant classic.</p><

<p>TV megastar Jack Barron hosts the wildly popular , a phone-in show that listens to public gripes and puts politicians and bosses on the spot—live. Naturally Barron pulls his punches for safety’s sake… until he tangles with paranoid billionaire Benedict Howards, peddler of cryonic immortality, and walks into a minefield of deadly cover-ups. Violence erupts. Howards believes he can buy anyone, even Barron's estranged wife, even Barron. Barron doesn't mind selling out if the coin is immortality. On TV, the power remains all his:</p><p>The Foundation’s medical secret—poor science but still packing a vicious gut-punch—is more appalling than Barron’s nastiest guesses; by the time he learns the truth he’s ensnared in complicity. Worse things follow. At the climax, with nothing left to lose, our man goes for broke in a desperate effort to crack Howards open in Barron’s own glowing TV arena, in front of 100,000,000 viewers… Slightly dated and occasionally crude, but still hyper-intense, memorable stuff.</p><

<p>Set at a boardinghouse in rural New Jersey in the summer of 1939, this novel revolves around four people who experience the comedies, torments and rare pleasures of family, romance and sex while on vacation from Brooklyn and the Depression. Billy Recco, an eager ten-year-old in search of a father. . Marie Recco, nèe McGrath, an attractive divorcèe caught between her son and father, without a life of her own. . John McGrath, dignified in manner yet brutally soured by life, insanely fearful of his daughter's restlessness. . Tom Thebus, a rakish salesman who precipitates the conflict between Marie's hopes and her father's wrath.</p><p>We follow these individuals through the events of thirty-six hours, culminating in Tom's disastrous near seduction of Marie. As the novel's perspective shifts to each of these characters, four discrete stories take form, stories that Sorrentino further enriches by using a variety of literary methods—fantasies, letters, a narrative question-and-answer, fragments of dialogue and memory. Strong and unforgettable, each voice is compelling in itself, yet in the end is only part of a complex, painful pattern in which dreams go unfulfilled and efforts unrewarded.</p><p>What emerges is a sure understanding of four people who are occasionally ridiculous, but whose integrity and good intentions are consistently, and tragically, frustrated. Combining humor and feeling, balancing the details and the rhythms of experience, Aberration of Starlight re-creates a time and a place as it captures the sadness and value of four lives. It is widely considered one of Sorrentino's finest novels.</p><
