Lolita
Vladimir Nabokov · 1989
Awe and exhiliration--along with heartbreak and mordant wit--abound in <b>Lolita</b>, Nabokov's most famous and controversial novel, which tells the story of the aging Humbert Humbert's obsessive, devouring, and doomed passion for the nymphet Dolores Haze. <b>Lolita</b> is also the story of a hypercivilized European colliding with the cheerful barbarism of postwar America. Most of all, it is a meditation on love--love as outrage and hallucination, madness and transformation.
Just Kids: A National Book Award Winner
Patti Smith · 2010
<p> It was the summer Coltrane died, the summer of love and riots, and the summer when a chance encounter in Brooklyn led two young people on a path of art, devotion, and initiation. </p> <p> Patti Smith would evolve as a poet and performer, and Robert Mapplethorpe would direct his highly provocative style toward photography. Bound in innocence and enthusiasm, they traversed the city from Coney Island to Forty-second Street, and eventually to the celebrated round table of Max's Kansas City, where the Andy Warhol contingent held court. In 1969, the pair set up camp at the Hotel Chelsea and soon entered a community of the famous and infamous—the influential artists of the day and the colorful fringe. It was a time of heightened awareness, when the worlds of poetry, rock and roll, art, and sexual politics were colliding and exploding. In this milieu, two kids made a pact to take care of each other. Scrappy, romantic, committed to create, and fueled by their mutual dreams and drives, they would prod and provide for one another during the hungry years. </p> <p> <i>Just Kids</i> begins as a love story and ends as an elegy. It serves as a salute to New York City during the late sixties and seventies and to its rich and poor, its hustlers and hellions. A true fable, it is a portrait of two young artists' ascent, a prelude to fame. </p>

Wuthering Heights (Penguin Classics)
Emily Brontë, Pauline Nestor · 2002
<b>Coming soon to the big screen is Emerald Fennell’s feature film “<i>Wuthering Heights</i>,” which captures the spirit of this epic love story and stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as Catherine and Heathcliff.<br></b><br>Emily Brontë's only novel endures as a work of tremendous and far-reaching influence. The Penguin Classics edition is the definitive version of the text, edited with an introduction by Pauline Nestor.<br><br>Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange, situated on the bleak Yorkshire moors, is forced to seek shelter one night at Wuthering Heights, the home of his landlord. There he discovers the history of the tempestuous events that took place years before. What unfolds is the tale of the intense love between the gypsy foundling Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. Catherine, forced to choose between passionate, tortured Heathcliff and gentle, well-bred Edgar Linton, surrendered to the expectations of her class. As Heathcliff's bitterness and vengeance at his betrayal is visited upon the next generation, their innocent heirs must struggle to escape the legacy of the past. <br><br>In this edition, a new preface by Lucasta Miller, author of <i>The Brontë Myth</i>, looks at the ways in which the novel has been interpreted, from Charlotte Brontë onwards. This complements Pauline Nestor's introduction, which discusses changing critical receptions of the novel, as well as Emily Brontë's influences and background.

Claudia Piñeiro · 2020
Una Adolescente Aparece Quemada Y Descuartizada En Un Descampado. Treinta Años Después, El Crimen Sigue Sin Aclararse Y Su Familia Y Entorno Se Han Desmoronado. Hace Treinta Años, En Un Terreno Baldío De Un Barrio Tranquilo, Apareció Descuartizado Y Quemado El Cadáver De Una Adolescente. La Investigación Se Cerró Sin Culpables Y Su Familia -de Clase Media Educada, Formal Y Católica- Silenciosamente Se Fue Resquebrajando Pero, Pasado Ese Largo Tiempo, La Verdad Oculta Saldrá A La Luz Gracias Al Persistente Amor Del Padre De La Víctima. Esa Verdad Mostrará Con Crudeza Lo Que Se Esconde Detrás De Las Apariencias; La Crueldad A La Que Pueden Llevar La Obediencia Y El Fanatismo Religioso; La Complicidad De Los Temerosos E Indiferentes, Y También, La Soledad Y El Desvalimiento De Quienes Se Animan A Seguir Su Propio Camino, Ignorando Mandatos Heredados. Como En Las Viudas De Los Jueves, En Elena Sabe Y En Una Suerte Pequeña, Claudia Piñeiro Ahonda Con Maestría En Los Lazos Familiares, En Los Prejuicios Sociales Y En Las Ideologías E Instituciones Que Marcan Los Mundos Privados, Y Nos Entrega Una Novela Conmovedora Y Valiente, Certera Como Una Flecha Clavada En El Corazón De Este Drama Secreto. La Crítica Ha Dicho Sobre Sus Libros: «...su Mayor Virtud Como Narradora De Cuentos Podría Ser La Capacidad De Resolver Lo Definitivo En Un Instante.» Silvina Friera, Página/12, Sobre Quién No «sus Libros Suelen Proporcionarnos Muy Fecundos Cruces Entre Niveles Narrativos Diferentes: En Las Maldiciones Está La Ficción Política Pero También Un Nivel Absolutamente íntimo Que Tiene Que Ver Con La Paternidad.» Eduardo Sacheri «las Maldiciones Es Una Novela Moral Que Te Lleva Al Abismo De Las Oscuridades De Las Que Son Capaces Los Políticos Para Hundirse En La Porquería Dando La Impresión De Seguir Impolutos.» Juan Cruz, El País (españa) «las Viudas De Los Jueves Es Una Novela ágil Y Un Análisis Implacable De Un Microcosmos Social En Acelerado Proceso De Decadencia.» José Saramago «claudia Piñeiro Arrancó Con Una Perla Rara, Tuya, Un Policial Negro Duro, Pero De Mujer, Que Usa Con Acelerador Los Elementos Del Género: La Violencia, El Engaño, Los Cruces Complicados.» Elvio E.

Tuya
Claudia Piñeiro · 2012
Un corazón dibujado con rouge, cruzado por un "te quiero" y firmado "Tuya" le revela a Inés que su marido la engaña. Lo que sigue a continuación no sólo es un policial vertiginoso y atrapante, sino un retrato implacable de la vida familiar de la clase media. Claudia Piñeiro capta con genialidad los tonos de las voces de la sociedad argentina. Y entre ellas la de un ama de casa dispuesta a todo con tal de conservar su matrimonio y las buenas apariencias.
