Harlan Ellison • 2014
La Divina Comedia (Spanish Edition)
Dante Alighieri • 2015
La Divina Comedia es un poema donde se mezcla la vida real con la sobrenatural, muestra la lucha entre la nada y la inmortalidad, una lucha donde se superponen tres reinos, tres mundos, logrando una suma de múltiples visuales que nunca se contradicen o se anulan. Los tres mundos infierno, purgatorio y paraíso reflejan tres modos de ser de la humanidad, en ellos se reflejan el vicio, el pasaje del vicio a la virtud y la condición de los hombres perfectos. Es entonces a través de los viciosos, penitentes y buenos que se revela la vida en todas sus formas, sus miserias y hazañas, pero también se muestra la vida que no es, la muerte, que tiene su propia vida, todo como una mezcla agraciada planteada por Dante, que se vuelve arquitecto de lo universal y de lo sublime.

La caja de botones de Gwendy / Gwendy’s Button Box (Trilogía la caja de botones de Gwendy) (Spanish Edition)
Stephen King • 2022
Vuelve Stephen King con una impactante novela corta en un formato muy especial.<br/><br/>La pequeña ciudad de Castle Rock, en Maine, ha sido testigo de algunos extraños sucesos, pero solo hay una historia que no se ha contado... hasta ahora.<br/><br/>Existen tres vías para llegar a Castle View desde la ciudad de Castle Rock: por la carretera 117, por Pleasant Road y por las Escaleras de los Suicidios. Cada día del verano de 1974, Gwendy Peterson, de doce años de edad, toma el camino de las escaleras, que ascienden en zigzag por la ladera rocosa.<br/><br/>Pero un día, al llegar a lo alto, mientras recupera el aliento con la cara roja y las manos apoyadas sobre las rodillas, un desconocido la llama. Allí, en un banco a la sombra, se sienta un hombre con una chaqueta negra y un pequeño sombrero. Llegará un día en el que Gwendy sufra pesadillas con ese sombrero...<br/><br/>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION<br/><br/>Set in the fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine<br/><br/>Stephen King teams up with long-time friend and award-winning author Richard Chizmar for the first time in this original, chilling novella that revisits the mysterious town of Castle Rock.<br/><br/>There are three ways up to Castle View from the town of Castle Rock: Route 117, Pleasant Road, and the Suicide Stairs. Every day in the summer of 1974, twelve-year-old Gwendy Peterson has taken the stairs, which are held by strong—if time-rusted—iron bolts and zig-zag up the precarious cliffside.<br/><br/>Then one day when Gwendy gets to the top of Castle View, after catching her breath and hearing the shouts of kids on the playground below, a stranger calls to her. There on a bench in the shade sits a man in black jeans, a black coat, and a white shirt unbuttoned at the top. On his head is a small, neat black hat. The time will come when Gwendy has nightmares about that hat…<br/><br/>The little town of Castle Rock, Maine has witnessed some strange events and unusual visitors over the years, but there is one story that has never been told—until now.
