Vudú
Angélica Liddell · 2024
"Pactamos con el diablo a fin de que nos otorgue el don de la palabra. La escritura es un don que nos dispensan desde el inframundo. Todas las recompensas del arte proceden de ese pacto. El diablo me ha prometido una obra, a cambio debo desear la desgracia de una persona todos los días de mi vida. He de entregarle a alguien en sacrificio. Bien es sabido, que aquel que desea la desgracia de otros invoca su propia desgracia. Eso es la escritura. Escribir es nuestra desgracia. Respondemos al acertijo del enigma, pero desconocemos el enigma que hay en nosotros. "Eres la asesina a la que buscas", me diría Tiresias. Nuestra mirada es apropiada hasta que al conocernos se vuelve oscura. Si no me suicido es porque después no podría escribirlo, se lo debo al diablo, le debo la escritura, solo él puede matarme. Es más bello el dolor que su causante. Es más bello el verso que el rapsoda" --

Ana Karenina (Spanish Edition)
León Tolstoi · 2013
Este ebook presenta "Ana Karenina", con un sumario dinámico y detallado. Ana Karénina es novela de León Tolstói, publicada en 1877. Narra la trágica pasión amorosa de Ana, casada sin amar con el ministro Alejo Karenin, pero se enamora perdidamente del joven oficial Alexis Vronski. Después de una lucha interna, abandona su casa, su esposo, su hijo, para irse a vivir con Vronski. La falsa situación social, la prohibición de ver a su hijo, las continuas reyertas entre los amantes, provocan la ruptura y la desesperación que obliga a Ana a arrojarse en la vía férrea al paso del tren. Liev Nikoláievich Tolstói, también conocido como León Tolstói ( 1828 - 1910 ), fue un novelista ruso ampliamente considerado como uno de los más grandes escritores de occidente y de la literatura mundial. Sus más famosas obras son Guerra y Paz y Anna Karénina, y son tenidas como la cúspide del realismo. Sus ideas sobre la "no violencia activa", expresadas en libros como El reino de Dios está en vosotros tuvieron un profundo impacto en grandes personajes como Gandhi y Martin Luther King.

Antigona - sofocles
Sophocles · 1997

A Fine Balance
Rohinton Mistry · 1997
With a compassionate realism and narrative sweep that recall the work of Charles Dickens, this magnificent novel captures all the cruelty and corruption, dignity and heroism, of India. The time is 1975. The place is an unnamed city by the sea. The government has just declared a State of Emergency, in whose upheavals four strangers--a spirited widow, a young student uprooted from his idyllic hill station, and two tailors who have fled the caste violence of their native village--will be thrust together, forced to share one cramped apartment and an uncertain future.<br/><br/>As the characters move from distrust to friendship and from friendship to love, A Fine Balance creates an enduring panorama of the human spirit in an inhuman state.

The House of Mirth (Wordsworth Classics)
Edith Wharton · 1998
The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton. The House of Mirth tells the story of Lily Bart, aged 29, beautiful, impoverished and in need of a rich husband to safeguard her place in the social elite, and to support her expensive habits - her clothes, her charities and her gambling. Unwilling to marry without both love and money, Lily becomes vulnerable to the kind of gossip and slander which attach to a girl who has been on the marriage market for too long. Wharton charts the course of Lily's life, providing, along the way, a wider picture of a society in transition, a rapidly changing New York where the old certainties of manners, morals and family have disappeared and the individual has become an expendable commodity.

Before We Were Strangers: A Love Story
Renée Carlino · 2015
From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist “missed connection” post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City.<br/><br/>To the Green-eyed Lovebird:<br/><br/>We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House.<br/><br/>You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more.<br/><br/>We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other.<br/><br/>Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding…<br/><br/>I didn’t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello.<br/><br/>After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half?<br/><br/>M

The Kite Runner
Khaled Hosseini · 2013
The #1 New York Times bestselling novel beloved by millions of readers the world over.<br/><br/>“A vivid and engaging story that reminds us how long his people [of Afghanistan] have been struggling to triumph over the forces of violence—forces that continue to threaten them even today." –New York Times Book Review<br/><br/>The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father’s servant, caught in the tragic sweep of history, The Kite Runner transports readers to Afghanistan at a tense and crucial moment of change and destruction.

On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous
Ocean Vuong · 2019
A New York Times bestseller • Nominated for the National Book Award for Fiction • Ocean Vuong’s debut novel is a shattering portrait of a family, a first love, and the redemptive power of storytelling New York Times Readers Pick: 100 Best Books of the 21st Century “A lyrical work of self-discovery that’s shockingly intimate and insistently universal…Not so much briefly gorgeous as permanently stunning.” —Ron Charles, The Washington Post “This is one of the best novels I’ve ever read...Ocean Vuong is a master. This book a masterpiece.”—Tommy Orange, author of There There and Wandering Stars On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family’s history that began before he was born — a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam — and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation. At once a witness to the fraught yet undeniable love between a single mother and her son, it is also a brutally honest exploration of race, class, and masculinity. Asking questions central to our American moment, immersed as we are in addiction, violence, and trauma, but undergirded by compassion and tenderness, On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is as much about the power of telling one’s own story as it is about the obliterating silence of not being heard. With stunning urgency and grace, Ocean Vuong writes of people caught between disparate worlds, and asks how we heal and rescue one another without forsaking who we are. The question of how to survive, and how to make of it a kind of joy, powers the most important debut novel of many years. Named a Best Book of the Year by: GQ, Kirkus Reviews, Booklist, Library Journal, TIME, Esquire, The Washington Post, Apple, Good Housekeeping, The New Yorker, The New York Public Library, Elle.com, The Guardian, The A.V. Club, NPR, Lithub, Entertainment Weekly, Vogue.com, The San Francisco Chronicle, Mother Jones, Vanity Fair, The Wall Street Journal Magazine, and more!

My Year of Rest and Relaxation: A Novel
Ottessa Moshfegh · 2019
Named a Best Book of the Year by The Washington Post, Time, NPR, Vice, Bustle, The New York Times, The Guardian, Kirkus Reviews, Entertainment Weekly, The AV Club, & Audible A New York Times Bestseller • New York Times Readers Pick: 100 Best Books of the 21st Century “One of the most compelling protagonists modern fiction has offered in years: a loopy, quietly furious pillhead whose Ambien ramblings and Xanaxed b*tcheries somehow wend their way through sad and funny and strange toward something genuinely profound.” — Entertainment Weekly “Darkly hilarious . . . [Moshfegh’s] the kind of provocateur who makes you laugh out loud while drawing blood.” —Vogue From one of our boldest, most celebrated new literary voices, a novel about a young woman's efforts to duck the ills of the world by embarking on an extended hibernation with the help of one of the worst psychiatrists in the annals of literature and the battery of medicines she prescribes. Our narrator should be happy, shouldn't she? She's young, thin, pretty, a recent Columbia graduate, works an easy job at a hip art gallery, lives in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan paid for, like the rest of her needs, by her inheritance. But there is a dark and vacuous hole in her heart, and it isn't just the loss of her parents, or the way her Wall Street boyfriend treats her, or her sadomasochistic relationship with her best friend, Reva. It's the year 2000 in a city aglitter with wealth and possibility; what could be so terribly wrong? My Year of Rest and Relaxation is a powerful answer to that question. Through the story of a year spent under the influence of a truly mad combination of drugs designed to heal our heroine from her alienation from this world, Moshfegh shows us how reasonable, even necessary, alienation can be. Both tender and blackly funny, merciless and compassionate, it is a showcase for the gifts of one of our major writers working at the height of her powers.

Palacio, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wonder<br/><br/>This #1 New York Times bestselling coming-of-age story with millions of copies in print takes a sometimes heartbreaking, often hysterical, and always honest look at high school in all its glory.<br/><br/>The critically acclaimed debut novel from Stephen Chbosky follows observant “wallflower” Charlie as he charts a course through the strange world between adolescence and adulthood.
