La clase de griego
Han Kang · 2023
"En Seúl, una mujer asiste a clases de griego antiguo. Su profesor le pide que lea en voz alta pero ella permanece en silencio; ha perdido la capacidad del lenguaje, así como a su madre y la custodia de un hijo de ocho años. Su única esperanza de recuperar el habla es mediante el aprendizaje de una lengua muerta. El profesor, que acaba de regresar a Corea después de pasar media vida en Alemania, se encuentra dividido entre dos culturas y dos lenguas. También el afronta perdidas: su vista empeora irreversiblemente a cada día que pasa, y convive con el miedo de saber que, cuando llegue la ceguera total, perderá toda autonomía. Con una belleza inusitada, las voces íntimas de estos dos protagonistas se intercalan y se cruzan en un momento de desesperación. ¿Será posible que encuentren en el otro el modo de salvarse, que la oscuridad dé paso a la luz y el silencio a la palabra? La aclamada autora de La vegetariana indaga en la pérdida, la violencia y la frágil relación de nuestros sentidos con el mundo para brindarnos una carta de amor a la filosofía, la literatura y el lenguaje, pero, sobre todo, a la esencia de la conexión humana y de lo que significa sentirse vivo."--Descripción del editor.

No Longer Human
太宰治 · 1958
<p> Mine has been a life of much shame. I can't even guess myself what it must be to live the life of a human being. </p><p>Portraying himself as a failure, the protagonist of Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human narrates a seemingly normal life even while he feels himself incapable of understanding human beings. His attempts to reconcile himself to the world around him begin in early childhood, continue through high school, where he becomes a "clown" to mask his alienation, and eventually lead to a failed suicide attempt as an adult. Without sentimentality, he records the casual cruelties of life and its fleeting moments of human connection and tenderness.</p><p>Still one of the ten bestselling books in Japan, No Longer Human is an important and unforgettable modern classic: "The struggle of the individual to fit into a normalizing society remains just as relevant today as it was at the time of writing." (The Japan Times)</p>

Quemar Las Naves
Sexto Piso · 1900
"Quemar las naves reúne todos los libros de relatos de Angela Carter –Fuegos artificiales, La cámara sangrienta, Venus negra y Fantasmas americanos y maravillas del Viejo Mundo, además de los relatos tempranos e inéditos– y supone una ocasión inmejorable para descubrir y celebrar a una escritora de su magnitud, una prosista virtuosa, inteligente, barroca, imaginativa, irreverente, siempre fascinante. Ensoñaciones orientales, marionetas que cobran vida, sótanos atestados con los instrumentos de la aniquilación, verdugos enamorados de sus hijas, hombres lobo, vampiras aquejadas de ennui, Poe, Lizzie Borden, reivindicativas semblanzas de Jeanne Duval, westerns con el diablo de por medio, Shakespeare, los mundos invertidos tras el espejo, tinieblas psicosexuales, protagonistas empoderadas que deciden cambiar el final del cuento... Un torrente inagotable de historias en las que queda patente el interés de Carter por lo gótico, lo teratológico, el psicoanálisis, y su amor por la pantomima, la farsa, el teatro, el cine, y todo lo que problematice las fronteras entre identidad y representación; acercamientos que Carter realiza siempre a través de una mirada feminista y deconstructiva, y haciendo gala de la magia de su estilo, de su humor, de su sugerente juego con los símbolos, de su erudición, de su alma exquisita y sacrílega"--
Actos humanos
Han Kang · 2024
"Mayo de 1980. La ciudad de Gwangju se moviliza contra la dictadura militar de Chun Doo-hwan, que hace unos meses tomó el poder en Corea del Sur. La oposición civil, liderada por los estudiantes universitarios, se subleva a favor de la democracia, pero el ejército reprime cruelmente las protestas disparando indiscriminadamente a la multitud, sin hacer distinciones entre estudiantes y civiles. Tras la sanguinaria matanza, un joven busca el cadáver de un amigo, un alma intenta aferrarse a su cuerpo abandonado y a sus recuerdos, y un país brutalizado busca su voz. En esta novela polifónica, las víctimas y los supervivientes que los lloran se enfrentan a la censura, a la negación, al perdón, a la culpa y a la memoria de un episodio traumático que sigue resonando en nuestros días. Han Kang, galardonada con el premio Nobel de Literatura "por su intensa prosa poética que confronta los traumas históricos y expone la fragilidad de la vida humana", homenajea a las víctimas de la masacre de su ciudad natal a través de las voces de los mártires de la dictadura surcoreana. Actos humanos es una novela brutal, profundamente atemporal y universal que nos habla de las heridas colectivas, la represión y la violencia humana."--Descripción del editor.

Siddhartha
Hermann Hesse · 1951
In the novel, Siddhartha, a young man, leaves his family for a contemplative life, then, restless, discards it for one of the flesh. He conceives a son, but bored and sickened by lust and greed, moves on again. Near dispair, Siddhartha comes to a river where he hears a unique sound. This sound signals the true beginning of life - the beginning of suffering, rejection, peace and, finally, wisdom.
Almond
Won-pyung Sohn · 2020
This story is, in short, about a monster meeting another monster.<br/>One of the monsters is me.<br/>Yunjae was born with a brain condition called Alexithymia that makes it hard for him to feel emotions like fear or anger. He does not have friends--the two almond-shaped neurons located deep in his brain have seen to that--but his devoted mother and grandmother aren't fazed by his condition. Their little home above his mother's used bookstore is decorated with colorful post-it notes that remind him when to smile, when to say ""thank you,"" and when to laugh. Yunjae grows up content, even happy, with his small family in this quiet, peaceful space.<br/>Then on Christmas Eve--Yunjae's sixteenth birthday--everything changes. A shocking act of random violence shatters his world, leaving him alone and on his own. Struggling to cope with his loss, Yunjae retreats into silent isolation, until troubled teenager Gon arrives at his school and begins to bully Yunjae.<br/>Against all odds, tormentor and victim learn they have more in common than they realized. Gon is stumped by Yunjae's impassive calm, while Yunjae thinks if he gets to know the hotheaded Gon, he might learn how to experience true feelings. Drawn by curiosity, the two strike up a surprising friendship. As Yunjae begins to open his life to new people--including a girl at school--something slowly changes inside him. And when Gon suddenly finds his life in danger, it is Yunjae who will step outside of every comfort zone he has created to perhaps become a most unlikely hero.<br/>The Emissary meets The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime in this poignant and triumphant story about how love, friendship, and persistence can change a life forever.
