LAS INTERMITENCIAS DE LA MUERTE
José Saramago · 2013
Sabremos cada vez menos qué es un ser humano.»En un país cuyo nombre no será mencionado, se produce algo nunca visto desde el principio del mundo: la muerte decide suspender su trabajo letal, la gente deja de morir. La euforia colectiva se desata, pero muy pronto dará paso a la desesperación y al caos. Sobran los motivos. Si es cierto que las personas ya no mueren, eso no significa que el tiempo se haya detenido. El destino de los humanos será una vejez eterna.Se buscarán maneras de forzar a la muerte a matar aunque no lo quiera, se corromperán las conciencias en los acuerdos de caballeros» explícitos o tácitos entre el poder político, las mafias y las familias, los ancianos serán detestados por haberse convertido en estorbos irremovibles. Hasta el día en que la muerte decide volver...Arrancando una vez más de una proposición contraria a la evidencia de los hechos corrientes, José Saramago desarrolla una narrativa de gran fecundidad literaria, social y filosófica que

The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma
Bessel van der Kolk · 2014
<b>#1 <i>New York Times </i>bestseller<br><br>“Essential reading for anyone interested in understanding and treating traumatic stress and the scope of its impact on society.” —Alexander McFarlane, Director of the Centre for Traumatic Stress Studies<br><br>A pioneering researcher transforms our understanding of trauma and offers a bold new paradigm for healing in this <b><b><b><i>New York Times</i> bestseller</b></b></b></b><br><br>Trauma is a fact of life. Veterans and their families deal with the painful aftermath of combat; one in five Americans has been molested; one in four grew up with alcoholics; one in three couples have engaged in physical violence. Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s foremost experts on trauma, has spent over three decades working with survivors. In <i>The Body Keeps the Score</i>, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust. He explores innovative treatments—from neurofeedback and meditation to sports, drama, and yoga—that offer new paths to recovery by activating the brain’s natural neuroplasticity. Based on Dr. van der Kolk’s own research and that of other leading specialists, <i>The Body Keeps the Score </i>exposes the tremendous power of our relationships both to hurt and to heal—and offers new hope for reclaiming lives.

The Year of Magical Thinking
Joan Didion · 2007
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER • From one of America’s iconic writers, a stunning book of electric honesty and passion that explores an intensely personal yet universal experience: a portrait of a marriage—and a life, in good times and bad—that will speak to anyone who has ever loved a husband or wife or child.<br/><br/>Several days before Christmas 2003, John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion saw their only daughter, Quintana, fall ill with what seemed at first flu, then pneumonia, then complete septic shock. She was put into an induced coma and placed on life support. Days later—the night before New Year’s Eve—the Dunnes were just sitting down to dinner after visiting the hospital when John Gregory Dunne suffered a massive and fatal coronary. In a second, this close, symbiotic partnership of forty years was over. Four weeks later, their daughter pulled through. Two months after that, arriving at LAX, she collapsed and underwent six hours of brain surgery at UCLA Medical Center to relieve a massive hematoma.<br/><br/>This powerful book is Didion’ s attempt to make sense of the “weeks and then months that cut loose any fixed idea I ever had about death, about illness ... about marriage and children and memory ... about the shallowness of sanity, about life itself.

Durian Sukegawa · 2023
"Sentaro, un joven solitario, pasa los días trabajando en una pequeña tienda de pasteles dorayakis con un árbol de cerezo en frente. Una tarde conoce a Tokue, una anciana un poco excéntrica que prepara una pasta de porotos azuki excepcional. Ella comienza a enseñarle la manera precisa de preparar esa pasta y, de a poco, el vínculo entre ellos se convierte en una inesperada y entrañable amistad. El paso del tiempo acompasado con los cambios en la naturaleza, la belleza de lo pequeño, las marcas que dejan las heridas del pasado, la forma en que las personas lidian con la injusticia y el mal, la posibilidad de encontrar algún consuelo en realizar tareas cotidianas con absoluta dedicación: la prosa de Sukegawa aborda todo esto con sutileza en una historia sencilla y profunda."--Back cover.
