Javier Marías
About this listen
Un libro imprescindible para cuantos se dedican a escribir, pero sobre todo a leer.
Escritura sobre la escritura, pero sobre todo, sobre la lectura, Literatura y fantasma reúne 72 artículos publicados desde 1978 a 2000 en diversos medios, cuyo nexo común, según su autor, es tratar «de asuntos literarios o relacionados con la literatura y sus aledaños», incluidos los comentarios sobre sus propios libros o sobre su propia literatura.
Como en un cuaderno de apuntes, Javier Marías nos habla sobre el difícil arte de la creación—tanto desde su propia experiencia como desde la de otros, los maestros indiscutibles: Cervantes, Shakespeare, Hammett, Nabokov, Isak Dinesen, Bernhard—sobre los críticos y su labor «social»; los traductores y su trabajo casi alquímico... Pero también de la fascinante figura del fantasma en la literatura anglosajona, sobre las enigmáticas sociedades literarias, sobre los libreros de viejo y sobre algunos amigos—como Juan Benet—personas reales que Javier Marías convierte con su prosa elegante y envolvente casi en personajes de ficción.
Reseña:
«Si un escritor logra ser claro y eficaz, tanto en el campo de la comicidad como en el de la seriedad o gravedad política, como es el caso, no cabe aspirar a más.»
César Pérez García, Heraldo de Aragón
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Story
Este volumen reúne los dos libritos que Javier Marías dedicara, en el centenario de sus respectivos nacimientos, a los escritores que tal vez más influencia han ejercido en la literatura en español de la segunda mitad del siglo XX: William Faulkner y Vladimir Nabokov. Además de los personales ensayos y semblanzas con que les rinde homenaje, Marías nos permite ver aquí su importante faceta de traductor: sus versiones de la poesía de estos dos maestros son inigualables.

When Abi shows up on Ms. Ziegler’s doorstep bearing holiday treats, she’s met by the author’s handsome grandson Dov, who reveals a startling plot twist. His grandmother isn’t able to finish the book and Dov promised he’d complete it so fans won’t be disappointed—a task that’s harder than he ever imagined.

And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

There's no place like home for the holidays ... especially for Lesley Carver. Life in the big city just wasn't her jam and now she's back in Hickory Falls, working at the family diner and helping her mom after she took a tumble. Lesley longs to build a life here, working at the cafe, selling her handmade ornaments and ... er, apparently reviving her high school crush on her best friend’s older brother. Only one problem, her mom wants her to leave Hickory Falls far behind.

Story
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.
