<b>INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER</b><br> <br><b>Working at the local processing plant, Marcos is in the business of slaughtering humans—though no one calls them that anymore.</b><br><br>His wife has left him, his father is sinking into dementia, and Marcos tries not to think too hard about how he makes a living. After all, it happened so quickly. First, it was reported that an infectious virus has made all animal meat poisonous to humans. Then governments initiated the “Transition.” Now, eating human meat—“special meat”—is legal. Marcos tries to stick to numbers, consignments, processing.<br> <br>Then one day he’s given a gift: a live specimen of the finest quality. Though he’s aware that any form of personal contact is forbidden on pain of death, little by little he starts to treat her like a human being. And soon, he becomes tortured by what has been lost—and what might still be saved.

Las batallas en el desierto (Spanish Edition).

Jose Emilio Pacheco · 2018

Historia de un amor imposible, LAS BATALLAS EN EL DESIERTO es una magistral novela breve que involucra otros aspectos como la corrupcion social y politica, el inicio del Mexico moderno y la desaparicion del pais tradicional, y el rescate de las memorias individuales y colectivas de una ciudad a la que Jose Emilio Pacheco ama profundamente, pero recrea sin nostalgia y denuncia de manera implacable. Desde su aparicion, esta novela corta, traducida a varios idiomas y publicada en otras partes del mundo hispano, asombro por su aparente sencillez y la estructura compleja que tiende lazos para una variedad de lecturas multiples y diferentes, y para una complicidad que hermana para siempre al lector con el autor.

George Orwell · 1983

75th ANNIVERSARY EDITION “Orwell saw, to his credit, that the act of falsifying reality is only secondarily a way of changing perceptions. It is, above all, a way of asserting power.”—The New Yorker In 1984, London is a grim city in the totalitarian state of Oceania where Big Brother is always watching you and the Thought Police can practically read your mind. Winston Smith is a man in grave danger for the simple reason that his memory still functions. Drawn into a forbidden love affair, Winston finds the courage to join a secret revolutionary organization called The Brotherhood, dedicated to the destruction of the Party. Together with his beloved Julia, he hazards his life in a deadly match against the powers that be. Lionel Trilling said of Orwell’s masterpiece “1984 is a profound, terrifying, and wholly fascinating book. It is a fantasy of the political future, and like any such fantasy, serves its author as a magnifying device for an examination of the present.” Though the year 1984 now exists in the past, Orwell’s dystopian classic remains an urgent call for the individual willing to speak truth to power.
