Ensayo sobre la ceguera
José Saramago • 1995
2022: AÑO SARAMAGO<br/>Una novela y un autor que nos alertan sobre «la responsabilidad de tener ojos cuando otros los perdieron».<br/>«Dentro de nosotros hay algo que no tiene nombre, esa cosa es lo que somos».<br/>Un hombre parado ante un semáforo en rojo se queda ciego súbitamente. Es el primer caso de una «ceguera blanca» que se expande de manera fulminante. Internados en cuarentena o perdidos en la ciudad, los ciegos tendrán que enfrentarse con lo más primitivo en la naturaleza humana: la voluntad de sobrevivir a cualquier precio.<br/>Ensayo sobre la ceguera es la ficción de un autor que nos alerta sobre «la responsabilidad de tener ojos cuando otros los perdieron». José Saramago traza en este libro una imagen aterradora y conmovedora de los tiempos que estamos viviendo. En un mundo así, ¿cabrá alguna esperanza?<br/>El lector conocerá una experiencia imaginativa única. En un punto donde se cruzan literatura y sabiduría, José Saramago nos obliga a parar, cerrar los ojos y ver. Recuperar la lucidez y rescatar el afecto son dos propuestas fundamentales de una novela que es, también, una reflexión sobre la ética del amor y la solidaridad.<br/>La crítica ha dicho:<br/>«Una metáfora que, cuando se publicó, lo mismo podía valer para el sida que para el abandono de los mayores. En esta novela, la ceguera llega sin avisar y produce un deslumbramiento blanco permanente. De nuevo, desfilan lo mejor y lo peor de la especie. Como en las guerras».<br/>Tereixa Constenla, El País<br/>«Saramago siempre ha demostrado una imaginación audaz como novelista. Ésta es su obra más sorprendente e inquietante».<br/>Harold Bloom<br/>«No hay cinismo ni moraleja, sólo un reconocimiento lúcido y compasivo de las cosas tal como son, una cualidad que sólo puede calificarse honestamente como sabiduría».<br/>The New York Times<br/>«Hay novelas, como ésta, que después de leídas continuarán iluminando túneles en la conciencia,abriendo puertas de habitaciones a las que no nos habíamos asomado pese a estar dentro de nosotros».<br/>Juan José Millás<br/>«Saramago vuelve comprensible una realidad huidiza, con parábolas sostenidas por la imaginación, la compasión y la ironía».<br/>Comité Nobel<br/>«Un hombre con una sensibilidad y una capacidad de ver y de entender que están muy por encima de lo que en general vemos y entendemos los comunes mortales».<br/>Héctor Abad Faciolince<br/>«Saramago es un ejemplo, un estilo dignísimo de vida y literatura, que demuestra la posibilidad de navegar a contracorriente [...]. Su palabra tiene el valor de un anticongelante, de un remedio personal contra los vendavales de cinismo que nos envuelven».<br/>Luis García Montero<br/>«Yo no sé, ni quiero saberlo, de dónde ha sacado Saramago ese diabólico tono narrativo, duro y piadoso a un tiempo, [...] que le permite contar tan cerca del corazón y a la vez tan cerca de la historia».<br/>Luis Landero<br/>«Saramago escribe novelas sobre los mitos para desmitificarlos, [...] siempre para abordar la realidad que le rodea, para tratar de los problemas actuales que son de todos, y para que todo quede claro desde el principio».<br/>Rafael Conte, Babelia<br/>«Como Günter Grass o Cees Nooteboom, Saramago aspira a enlazar con un público que desborde límites nacionales».<br/>El País

La naranja mecánica
Anthony Burgess • 1962
A Clockwork Orange is Anthony Burgess’s most famous novel and its impact on literary, musical and visual culture has been extensive. The novel is concerned with the conflict between the individual and the state, the punishment of young criminals, and the possibility or otherwise of redemption. The linguistic originality of the book, and the moral questions it raises, are as relevant now as they ever were.<br/><br/>Source: anthonyburgess.org

Lord of the Flies
William Golding • 2003
Golding’s iconic 1954 novel, now with a new foreword by Lois Lowry, remains one of the greatest books ever written for young adults and an unforgettable classic for readers of any age.<br/><br/>This edition includes a new Suggestions for Further Reading by Jennifer Buehler.<br/><br/>At the dawn of the next world war, a plane crashes on an uncharted island, stranding a group of schoolboys. At first, with no adult supervision, their freedom is something to celebrate. This far from civilization they can do anything they want. Anything. But as order collapses, as strange howls echo in the night, as terror begins its reign, the hope of adventure seems as far removed from reality as the hope of being rescued.

The Giver
Lois Lowry • 1993

Brave New World
Aldous Huxley • 2006
Now more than ever: Aldous Huxley's enduring masterwork must be read and understood by anyone concerned with preserving the human spirit<br/>"A masterpiece. ... One of the most prophetic dystopian works." —Wall Street Journal<br/>Aldous Huxley's profoundly important classic of world literature, Brave New World is a searching vision of an unequal, technologically-advanced future where humans are genetically bred, socially indoctrinated, and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively uphold an authoritarian ruling order–all at the cost of our freedom, full humanity, and perhaps also our souls. “A genius [who] who spent his life decrying the onward march of the Machine” (The New Yorker), Huxley was a man of incomparable talents: equally an artist, a spiritual seeker, and one of history’s keenest observers of human nature and civilization. Brave New World, his masterpiece, has enthralled and terrified millions of readers, and retains its urgent relevance to this day as both a warning to be heeded as we head into tomorrow and as thought-provoking, satisfying work of literature. Written in the shadow of the rise of fascism during the 1930s, Brave New World likewise speaks to a 21st-century world dominated by mass-entertainment, technology, medicine and pharmaceuticals, the arts of persuasion, and the hidden influence of elites.<br/>"Aldous Huxley is the greatest 20th century writer in English." —Chicago Tribune
