The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson · 1976
This comprehensive and authoritative collection of all 1,775 poems by Emily Dickinson is an essential volume for all lovers of American literature.<br/><br/>Only eleven of Emily Dickinson's poems were published prior to her death in 1886; the startling originality of her work doomed it to obscurity in her lifetime. Early posthumous published collections — some of them featuring liberally "edited" versions of the poems — did not fully and accurately represent Dickinson's bold experiments in prosody, her tragic vision, and the range of her intellectual and emotional explorations. Not until the 1955 publication of The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson, a three-volume critical edition compiled by Thomas H. Johnson, were readers able for the first time to assess, understand, and appreciate the whole of Dickinson's extraordinary poetic genius.<br/><br/>This book, a distillation of the three-volume Complete Poems, brings together the original texts of all 1,775 poems that Emily Dickinson wrote.<br/><br/>"With its chronological arrangement of the poems, this volume becomes more than just a collection; it is at the same time a poetic biography of the thoughts and feelings of a woman whose beauty was deep and lasting." —San Francisco Chronicle

Idea Vilariño · 2022
«LLEGÓ LA HORA DE IDEA VILARIÑO: UN CLÁSICO DE LA LITERATURA LATINOAMERICANA» (EL PAÍS)<br/><br/>«Idea Vilariño habla con el corazón en un puño.» —Manuel Vilas<br/><br/>«Carnal y feroz, libérrima pero pulida hasta el fi lo de lo esencial.» —Raquel Garzón, El País<br/><br/>«Forma parte de ese nutrido grupo de escritoras del siglo XX que nos queda por redescubrir.» —Edurne Portela<br/><br/>Aunque la autora ha mantenido a lo largo de su vida una actitud casi monacal con respecto a la difusión de su obra, hoy día está considerada como uno de los clásicos vivos de las letras hispanoamericanas.<br/><br/>Su poesía -escasa y sobria, lentamente madurada- transita siempre por los extremos, tensa, como acorralada por una íntima urgencia. Quizá el asunto que con mayor frecuencia aparece en esta poesía sea la muerte, pero una muerte que late y se experimenta en el esplendor de la vida, en los golpes del amor, en los embates del sexo, en la dialéctica entre ausencia y recuerdo.<br/><br/>La lectura de estos poemas conforma una experiencia intensa y perdurable y supone el descubrimiento de una de las voces más contundentes y secretamente bellas de la poesía contemporánea.<br/><br/>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION<br/><br/>“IDEA VILARIÑO’S TIME HAS COME: A CLASSIC IN LATIN AMERICAN LITERATURE" (EL PAÍS)<br/><br/>Although throughout her life, Vilariño has maintained an almost reclusive attitude regarding the publication of her life’s work, today she is considered one of the living classics of Latin American narrative.<br/><br/>Her poetry -scarce, sober, and slowly matured-always moves through the extremes, tense, as if cornered by a discreet urgency. Perhaps the most frequently recurring theme that appears in her poetry is death, but a death with a beating heart, one that moves about in the splendor of life, in the blows of love, in the onslaught of sex, and in the interaction between absence and memories.<br/><br/>The act of reading these poems exposes readers to an intense and lasting experience and supposes the discovery of one of the most forceful and secretly beautiful voices of contemporary poetry.<br/><br/>“Idea Vilariño speaks by wearing her heart on her sleeve.” -Manuel Vilas<br/><br/>“Carnal and fierce, free but sharp until the edge of what’s essential.” -Raquel Garzon, El Pais<br/><br/>“Vilariño is part of that large group of 20th century writers that we have yet to rediscover.” -Edurne Portela

M.L. RIO · 2020
El día que Oliver Marks cumple su condena, el hombre que lo puso en la cárcel está esperándolo a la salida. El detective Colborne quiere saber la verdad y, después de diez años, Oliver finalmente está listo para contársela. Una década atrás: Oliver es uno de los siete actores shakespearianos en el Conservatorio Clásico Dellecher, un lugar donde rige la cruda ambición y la competencia feroz. En este mundo apartado, de chimeneas encendidas y libros con encuadernación de cuero, Oliver y sus amigos interpretan los mismos papeles arriba y abajo del escenario: el héroe, el villano, el tirano, la seductora, la ingenua, los extras. Pero en su cuarto y último año de conservatorio, las rivalidades amistosas se vuelven desagradables, y en la noche de estreno, la violencia real invade el mundo de fantasía de los estudiantes. Por la mañana, los chicos de cuarto año deben enfrentar su propia tragedia y su desafío actoral más difícil: convencerse unos a otros y a la policía de que son inocentes. / Oliver Marks is released from jail after ten years and Detective Colborne who put him there is waiting at the door. He wants to know the truth. Oliver was one of seven young actors who played the same roles onstage and off: hero and villain. One day they faced their own tragedy and their greatest acting challenge: convince the police and themselves they were innocent.
El secreto
Donna Tartt · 2023
30 ANIVERSARIO<br/>POR LA AUTORA DE EL JILGUERO, GANADORA DEL PREMIO PULITZER<br/><br/>«La historia del misterioso asesinato que sigue fascinando treinta años después.»<br/>BBC<br/><br/>«Una auténtica maravilla. [...] Contundente, sólida e impecablemente contada.»<br/>The New York Times<br/>«Donna Tartt es una escritora increíblemente buena: profunda, sugerente. Una narradora extraordinaria.»<br/>Stephen King<br/><br/>UNO DE LOS 18 MEJORES LIBROS DE MISTERIO SEGÚN ESQUIRE<br/><br/>La vida no es fácil en un college de Nueva Inglaterra si eres un chico modesto y falto de afecto que llega de California, y Richard Papen lo sabe; por eso agradece que lo admitan en un pequeño grupo de cinco estudiantes capitaneados por un profesor de literatura clásica con mucho carisma y pocos escrúpulos.<br/>Los chicos sueltan comentarios en griego y se ríen de la ingenuidad y la torpeza de los demás, pero bien mirado se pasan el día bebiendo y engullendo pastillas. Hasta que un mal día lo que parecían chiquilladas adquieren una gravedad inesperada.Es entonces cuando Richard y su pandilla descubren qué difícil es vivir sin máscaras y qué fácil es matar sin remordimientos.<br/>El secreto, primera novela de la gran Donna Tartt, se cuenta entre las mejores obras del siglo XX.<br/>«Uno de esos libros nacidos para ser clásicos instantáneos. Una lectura perfecta para estar en el sofá, tapado, con la única necesidad de devorar sus páginas (advertencia: tiene un alto componente adictivo, que su longitud no cause rechazo a los curiosos). [...] Durante sus páginas se puede disfrutar con todo: el misterio, el lujo, amores no correspondidos... El propio college semeja un elemento vivo más. Cualquier enamoradode la estética dark academia (hola, Miércoles Adams) encontrará aquí el santo grial».<br/>Alba Álvarez (autora de Pellejos), Vogue<br/><br/>«Lo recomiendo mucho; es el que siempre regalo a mis amigos.»<br/>Virginia Feito, autora de La señora March<br/>«Una auténtica maravilla.

Un placer culpable.»<br/>The Guardian<br/>«Una novela imposible de abandonar hasta la última página.»<br/>John Grisham<br/>«La voz de Tartt no es como la de sus contemporáneos. Su bello lenguaje, su intrincado argumento y sus fascinantes personajes ya se notan de lejos en su debut.»<br/>Cosmopolitan<br/>«Vestida como un diminuto gentleman andrógino, con zapatos Oxford, chalecos y corbatas y peinada con un bob imperturbable (desde Tom Wolfe, ningún escritor había hecho tan bien lo del autobranding), a Tartt la rodeaba un relato fabuloso, una historia que se ha demostrado no del todo o casi nada cierta que hablaba de gentileza del Sur y dinero viejo. [El secreto] se ha convertido en un libro de culto, muy citado, leído y disfrutado.»<br/>Begoña Gómez Urzaiz, El País<br/>«Como entretenimiento de ritmo feroz, es un éxito magnífico.»<br/>The New York Times<br/>«Una novela descomunal, fascinante e arrolladora.»<br/>Vanity Fair<br/>«Inquietante, convincente y maravilloso.

Cartas de Amor a Susan
Emily Dickinson · 2021
Just Kids
Patti Smith · 2010
WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD 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. 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. Just Kids 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.

Tengo miedo torero
Pedro Lemebel · 2019
Una historia de amor en el Santiago del 86, el año del atentado a Pinochet. Un muchacho del Frente Patriótico Manuel Rodríguez que va a participar en la acción, vive una relación sentimental con un homosexual, que lo apoya, sin saber-sabiéndolo, en sus planes políticos. Éstos fracasan y la ligazón se frustra. El escenario es exactamente el del año en que pudo ser decisivo pero no lo fue: las protestas, los neumáticos humeando en las calles de la capital, los apagones; los boleros, rancheras y baladas de la época; Pinochet lidiando en la intimidad con sus fantasmas y sus pesadillas, y con una Lucía encaprichada con los últimos modelos de Nina Ricci; y la Loca del Frente, protagonista y testigo, personaje entrañable, puente entre los sueños y la desdicha. Pedro Lemebel desafía todo intento catalogador. "Irónico, sarcástico, salvajemente paródico, cursi, relamido, retorcido y, además, tierno, divertido y siempre intenso, abrumadoramente lírico", este escritor dirige su mirada a un universo poco mal explorado entre nosotros: "la identidad homosexual, la alternativa travesti y sus complejidades".

The Song of Achilles

Call Me By Your Name
André Aciman
Call Me by Your Name is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents' cliff-side mansion on the Italian Riviera. Unprepared for the consequences of their attraction, at first each feigns indifference. But during the restless summer weeks that follow, unrelenting buried currents of obsession and fear, fascination and desire, intensify their passion as they test the charged ground between them. What grows from the depths of their spirits is a romance of scarcely six weeks' duration and an experience that marks them for a lifetime. For what the two discover on the Riviera and during a sultry evening in Rome is the one thing both already fear they may never truly find total intimacy. The psychological maneuvers that accompany attraction have seldom been more shrewdly captured than in André Aciman's frank, unsentimental, heartrending elegy to human passion. Call Me by Your Name is clear-eyed, bare-knuckled, and ultimately unforgettable.
