Lo Pasado No Es Un Sueño

Sinopsis del Libro

I was eight years old when my grandfather took me by the hand and did not let go until we found my parents in Athens. Who knows what might have happened if I had stayed in the village. It was 1946. Early spring 1946. The almond trees were blooming side by side and the countryside was in full bloom.' Thus begins the most autobiographical novel by Theodor Kallifatides and one of the most appreciated by its hundreds of thousands of readers. A week before Kallifatides fled the town, a group of fascists with guns in their hands had forced all the people to gather in the cemetery. There they stood, young and old in terror, as his infamous capo slowly called them one after another to finally select a few men to take with him. Their bodies were never found. With his characteristic simplicity and humanity, he narrates his life from the time he leaves his hometown until he returns to receive homage from his neighbors, now an established writer. Thus we discover childhood and adolescence in Athens governed by authoritarian regimes, the birth of political and class consciousness, the discovery of sexuality and love, exile to Sweden, the surprising ability to rebuild their working life there and form a family, and his career as a writer in a host language, Swedish. Kallifatides offers us another masterful book, to the delight of those who already know his work and those who are still lucky enough to discover it.

A porn actor and actress escape their past lives in a black Chrysler Imperial along with the woman’s young daughter, driving beneath an inclement sun on a series of identical roads and past inhospitable landscapes. Each one of them narrates their flight to nowhere, but it is a fourth voice—that of a documentary filmmaker fascinated by this story—that communicates just how much of those three characters can exist within each person. In this magnetic novel the past is a nebulous territory from which there is no escape, and although the journey can turn the most impersonal...

El Conde Lucanor / Count Lucanor

The fourteenth-century Spanish classic in which Juan Manuel sets out to solve some of the most important problems facing man, and illustrates his solutions by a series of short stories which have delighted readers for centuries and have inspired major Hispanic writers ever since, is beautifully adapted for young readers.

Huevadas que salen de mi mente

Huevadas que salen de mi mente es una recopilación de ensayos, pensamientos, poemas y canciones escritas de manera amena para una fácil lectura. Es una idea basada en escritos del pasado tomando forma diferente para este proyecto. Es prácticamente una aventura intima con el escritor quien desnuda su alma al escribir notas jocosas o nostálgicas con el punto de hacer reir, llorar o pensar. Obviamente algunas de las historias se prestan para la absurdez mientras otras son dirigidas a la certeza de la realidad de la vida según el escritor. Es una obra escrita con mucho cariño y amor. Las...

Historia de los hombres lobos

De uno a otro extremo del mundo occidental y desde mucho antes de esa Antigüedad que nombramos clásica, siempre ha habido hombres lobos. Sobrevivieron al exterminio sistemático al que, en muchos países europeos, fueron sometidos los lobos, y también a los múltiples fuegos de la Inquisición. Se los ha visto merodear incluso en aquellas latitudes donde el lobo nunca ha habitado. Son una idea monstruosa, el fruto de la imaginación, del miedo, de la noche y la ignorancia. Su realidad se apoya en una enorme variedad de ideas curiosas -y, en más de una oportunidad, absolutamente...
