At school, Connell is popular and well liked, while Marianne is a loner. But when the two strike up a conversation—awkward but electrifying—something life changing begins. A year later, they’re both studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Marianne has found her feet in a new social world while Connell hangs at the sidelines, shy and uncertain. Throughout their years at university, Marianne and Connell circle one another, straying toward other people and possibilities but always magnetically, irresistibly drawn back together. And as she veers into self-destruction and he begins to search for meaning elsewhere, each must confront how far they are willing to go to save the other. Normal People is the story of mutual fascination, friendship, and love. It takes us from that first conversation to the years beyond, in the company of two people who try to stay apart but find that they can’t.   WINNER: The British Book Award, The Costa Book Award, The An Post Irish Novel of the Year, Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times, The New York Times Book Review, Oprah Daily, Time, NPR, The Washington Post, Vogue, Esquire, Glamour, Elle, Marie Claire, Vox, The Paris Review, Good Housekeeping, Town & Country

Indigno de ser humano

Osamu Dazai · 2010

Publicada por primera vez en 1948, "Indigno de ser humano" es una de las novelas más célebres de la literatura japonesa contemporánea. Su polémico y brillante autor, Osamu Dazai, incorporó numerosos episodios de su turbulenta vida a los tres cuadernos que conforman esta novela y que narran, en primera persona y de forma descarnada, el progresivo declive como ser humano de Yozo, joven estudiante de provincias que lleva una vida disoluta en Tokio. Repudiado por su familia tras un intento de suicidio e incapaz de vivir en armonía con sus hipócritas semejantes, Yozo malvive como dibujante de historietas y subsiste gracias a la ayuda de mujeres que se enamoran de él pese a su alcoholismo y adicción a la morfina. Sin embargo, tras el despiadado retrato que Yozo hace de su vida, Dazai cambia repentinamente de punto de vista y nos muestra, mediante la voz de una de las mujeres con las que Yozo convivió, una semblanza muy distinta del trágico protagonista de esta perturbadora historia. "Indigno de ser humano" se ha convertido, con el paso de los años, en una de las obras más populares de la literatura japonesa, superando los diez millones de ejemplares vendidos desde su primera publicación.
