About this listen
A história de uma família e a memória de tempos difíceis através da prosa da maior escritora italiana do século XX.
"Neste livro, lugares, fatos e pessoas são reais. Não inventei nada", escreve Natalia Ginzburg sobre sua obra mais célebre, Léxico familiar, de 1963. Nos anos 1930, como consequência da criação de leis raciais na Europa, inúmeras famílias foram obrigadas a deixar seu lar, tornando-se apátridas ou sendo literalmente destroçadas pela guerra que se seguiu. É nesse cenário que se inscrevem as memórias de Ginzburg. Nelas, o vocabulário afetivo de um clã de judeus antifascistas se contrapõe a um mundo sombrio, atravessado pelo autoritarismo. Trata-se de uma história de resistência, narrada em tom menor, e, sobretudo, da gênese de uma das escritoras mais poderosas do nosso tempo.
"Natalia escreve com precisão e fluidez, com genuíno amor às pessoas e às palavras." — Alejandro Zambra, em prefácio inédito escrito para esta edição
"Uma obra-prima [...] Um romance que apresenta à geração de leitores de Elena Ferrante a incomparável obra de Natalia Ginzburg." — The New Yorker

Aunque este singular e inclasificable libro de Alejandro Zambra se llama Literatura infantil, conviene advertir que incluye un magnífico cuento que gira en torno al lenguaje grosero y un relato directamente lisérgico en que un hombre intenta, en pleno viaje terapéutico de hongos, volver a aprender el dificilísimo arte de gatear. En caso de que algún niño llegara accidentalmente a estas páginas, debería leerlas en compañía de un adulto, a pesar de que aquí son precisamente los niños quienes, a su manera, protegen a los adultos del desánimo, el egocentrismo y la dictadura del tiempo cronológico.

Como en una tragedia griega, la tensión crece con cada página, con cada personaje o elemento: la perra callejera, el veneno, la pistola, la confesión inconfesable del “señor”, la aparición de Carlos, hasta un desenlace tan poderoso como inevitable.

V13: viernes 13 de noviembre de 2015. En tres puntos diferentes de París se producen atentados yihadistas. El más grave es el de la sala Bataclan, donde están actuando los Eagles of Death Metal. El resultado de los ataques en el corazón de Francia es de ciento treinta muertos y más de cuatrocientos heridos. Años después, durante nueve meses –entre septiembre de 2021 y junio de 2022–, se celebra el juicio en el Palacio de Justicia de la capital. Hay catorce acusados: el principal es el único superviviente de entre los terroristas de Estado Islámico que participaron en la masacre.

Es ésta, como dice el narrador, "una historia liviana que se pone pesada", un relato elíptico y vertiginoso marcado por la inquietante desaparición de una mujer.

Ésta es la historia de un hombre, tres mujeres, una revolución y un tesoro. La revolución fue la de México en tiempos de Emiliano Zapata y Francisco Villa. El tesoro fueron quince mil monedas de oro de a veinte pesos de las denominadas maximilianos, robadas en un banco de Ciudad Juárez el 8 de mayo de 1911. El hombre se llamaba Martín Garret Ortiz y era un joven ingeniero de minas español. Todo empezó para él ese mismo día, cuando desde su hotel oyó un primer disparo lejano. Salió a la calle para ver qué ocurría y a partir de ese momento su vida cambió para siempre.

El mundo de Mariana Enriquez no tiene por qué ser el nuestro, y, sin embargo, lo termina siendo. Bastan pocas frases para pisarlo, respirarlo y no olvidarlo gracias a una viveza emocional insólita. Con la cotidianidad hecha pesadilla, el lector se despierta abatido, perturbado por historias e imágenes que jamás conseguirá sacarse de la cabeza.

Al atender a una joven en quirófano advierte en su cuello algo que atrae su atención: un collar del que cuelga una perla de ámbar. Una perla que Edith reconoce enseguida, pues fue robada en su casa de Quebec dieciocho años antes, en un atraco en el que su madre falleció de un disparo. Una perla de la que su padre, Édouard Lombard, había contado que perteneció a la famosa Cámara de Ámbar de San Petersburgo, desparecida durante la II Guerra Mundial.

When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs.
