About this listen
Los psicólogos llaman "delirio de relación" al trastorno por el cual una persona porfiada y muy vulnerable cree ver coincidencias en todo lo que le sucede, como si la casualidad obedeciera a una ley desconocida. Pero ¿qué quiere decir aquí "delirio"? Es posible que sea precisamente esa coincidencia de los hechos y las imágenes lo que permite tener por primera vez una vida propia.
Los relatos con orla negra de W. G. Sebald cuentan cosas cotidianas e inquietantes, son testigos minuciosos y excesivos de un desajuste pertinaz. De las grietas de la memoria asoman "hechos casuales", ya amenazadores, ya reconfortantes. Sin embargo, el leve infierno de la depresión no deja mudo al escritor, sino que parece percibir el mundo con más agudeza. Bajo el signo de la melancolía ha creado un texto de paradójica belleza.

El protagonista de esta novela es uno de los personajes más memorables de la literatura norteamericana: Ignatius Reilly –una mezcla de Oliver Hardy delirante, Don Quijote adiposo y Tomás de Aquino perverso, reunidos en una persona–, que a los treinta años aún vive con su estrafalaria madre, ocupado en escribir una extensa y demoledora denuncia contra nuestro siglo, tan carente de «teología y geometría» como de "decencia y buen gusto"; un alegato desquiciado contra una sociedad desquiciada.

Over seven decades, from 1940 to 2010, the pieds-noirs Cassars live in an itinerant state—separated in the chaos of World War II, running from a complicated colonial homeland, and, after Algerian independence, without a homeland at all. This Strange Eventful History, told with historical sweep, is above all a family story: of patriarch Gaston and his wife Lucienne, whose myth of perfect love sustains them and stifles their children; of François and Denise, devoted siblings connected by their family's strangeness; of François's union with Barbara; of Chloe, the result of that union.

En el Madrid de los años inmediatamente posteriores a la Guerra Civil, los destinos de numerosos individuos de varias clases sociales y con diferentes actitudes ante la vida desfilan en una secuencia de breves y fascinantes viñetas narrativas. Con la ciudad como personaje, el conjunto es el retrato de una sociedad en la que el estraperlo, el hambre, la prostitución y el miedo conviven con efímeros destellos de ternura y humor.

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.

Este libro ejemplifica como pocos la idea de que la obra postrera de un autor se transforma en involuntario legado. Austerlitz es el último libro que Sebald publicó en vida, y sin duda una de las novelas más ineludibles de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Pero es también una novela fantasma: el retrato fascinado de una Europa recién desaparecida. A través de los encuentros entre el narrador y el misterioso Jacques Austerlitz, al que conoce accidentalmente en la estación de Amberes, se va desplegando un recorrido espectral por la civilización europea del siglo XX, un mundo de fortalezas, estaciones de tren, campos de concentración, librerías.

Stefan Zweig trabajó más de veinte años en Momentos estelares de la humanidad. El libro reúne catorce momentos históricos retratados por Zweig, fundamentales desde su punto de vista para el transcurso de la historia. El asesinato de Cicerón, la expedición fallida al Polo Sur del capitán Scott y la fiebre del oro de California en 1848 son solo algunos de estos relatos que ilustran la visión del mundo que tenía Zweig, que apela a los procedimientos narrativos de sus novelas para dar vida a narraciones que siempre oscilan entre lo ficcional y lo fáctico.

Si esto es un hombre, libro que inaugura la trilogía que Primo Levi dedicó a los campos de exterminio nazis, surgió en la imaginación de su autor durante los días de horror en Auschwitz, cuando la principal preocupación de los prisioneros era que, de sobrevivir, nadie creería la atrocidad de la historia vivida. Los campos de concentración y exterminio, más que resguardados por las alambradas y los guardias, lo estuvieron por su propia monstruosidad, que los hacía inconcebibles.

The Years is a personal narrative of the period of 1941 to 2006 told through the lens of memory, impressions past and present - even projections into the future - photos, books, songs, radio, television, and decades of advertising and headlines, contrasted with intimate conflicts and written notes from six decades of diaries. Local dialect, words of the time, slogans, brands, and names for ever-proliferating objects are given a voice here. The voice we recognize as the author's continually dissolves and re-emerges.

Nuccio Ordine emprende en este ensayo una apasionante investigación sobre las colecciones de emblemas y empresas de la Europa del siglo XVI.

La música tiene la extraordinaria cualidad, entre otras, de ayudarnos a configurar nuestra idea del mundo. Por más que los puristas insistan en que lo personal, lo político, lo social y lo artístico no deben mezclarse, Daniel Barenboim recuerda en este inspirador texto que la escucha y el conocimiento de las músicas más variadas indica precisamente lo contrario. Apelando a su inquebrantable compromiso con la paz entre Israel y Palestina, examina el increíble potencial de la música para acercarnos, tender puentes y comprender al otro.

Ya se trate de la venganza ejercida por un cazador sobre sus vecinos, del exilio de ciudadanos condenados a una espera insoportable para embarcar en un navío bajo la vigilancia de milicias armadas hasta los dientes o de los intentos de un enigmático personaje de evadir a sus perseguidores, el irresistible ingenio del aclamado narrador húngaro brilla con intensidad.

La estancia que preveía corta se dilata en el tiempo y acaba formando parte de esta nueva forma de vida en la que se relativiza el transcurso del tiempo. Sentado en el balcón del sanatorio y envuelto en una manta, Hans reflexiona acerca de la vida, la muerte y el amor. El resultado es una de las grandes obras maestras de la literatura universal.

My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

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.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 662
My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 139
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

And since the last three weeks of my life have been riddled with humbug—another breakup, a broken toe, an office promotion I deserved and didn’t get—I’m not at all in the mood to celebrate nor have the happ, happ, happiest Christmas EVER.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

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.
