Un mar de muerte

Un mar de muerte

Autor: David Rieff

Número de Páginas: 152

Un relato honesto y conmovedor de los últimos meses de la vida de Susan Sontag, escrito por su hijo. Como reportero de guerra, David Rieff ha cubierto la mayoría de los conflictos de los últimos veinte años. Sin embargo, la batalla más dura que le tocó presenciar comenzó en la primavera de 2004, cuando a su madre, Susan Sontag, le fue diagnosticada una leucemia incurable que acabaría con su vida ese mismo año. Rieff narra conmovedoramente la experiencia de estar junto a ella -mujer de insaciable curiosidad y con un deseo infinito de vivir- los últimos meses de su agonía y sus propios sentimientos encontrados: la culpa tanto por no ser suficiente consuelo como por apoyarla en la idea de que sería capaz de imponerse a la enfermedad. Recorriendo los diarios y las cartas de su madre que Rieff leyó después de su fallecimiento y los textos de otros grandes escritores sobre la muerte, este libro proporciona un retrato íntimo de losúltimos días de Sontag y una profunda meditación sobre la mortalidad. Brutalmente honesto y conmovedor, es una bellísima elegía. Reseñas: «Tanto una crónica desde la vanguardia de los tratamientos contra el cáncer como un relato íntimo, ...

Howard Hill

Howard Hill

Autor: Betty Larosa Larosa

Número de Páginas: 322

The exhausted Union cavalry company under the command of Col. Philip Creighton arrives at Howard Hill plantation where they find five frightened women living alone. Philip informs Caroline Howard, the widowed mistress of the plantation, that they are confiscating her home for a few days of rest. But those few days stretch into the nearly- ten month siege of Petersburg, Virginia. Watching Caroline cope with the stress of constant bombardments of the nearby city, the endless numbers of Union wounded arriving daily, and a mother-in-law who is slowly going mad, Philip feels compelled to provide her with sorely-needed food and necessities, as well as seeing to her safety from his own men. Shortly thereafter, he is seriously wounded, nearly fulfilling his wish to die in battle. Through Carolines care, he learns to trust again and at last finds all hes been seeking in life. After recovering his health, Philip again sees action where he suffers a severe concussion that leaves him temporarily blind. This blindness forces him to acknowledge at last his feelings for Caroline Howard. His war experiences transform Philip from bitter disillusionment to a completely different perspective of his...

Beyond Intensity

Beyond Intensity

Autor: Ramon Vila

After years of traveling the world, searching for all life has to offer, Toni Martí realizes that his youthful curiosity has soured into stagnation, depression, and drug addiction. While stumbling through what remains of his life, he commits a crime and is sentenced to community service at a nursing home. Forced to comply, he forms a grudging relationship with Juan, an octogenarian whose family long ago abandoned him, and whose day-to-day life seems undisturbed by change. He also encounters Lucía, who runs the nursing home, but not her life; too fearful to follow the lure of her dreams or rebel against her parents, she has grown dull and unhappy. “Beyond Intensity” captures the story of three characters trapped in lives that bring them only loneliness and despair. Soon, they will be forced to discover what is beyond the pursuit of momentary pleasure, beyond routine, beyond conformity. Against the backdrop of a dehumanized society, these three characters’ lives give us the opportunity to reflect on the culture of immediacy and the search for instant gratification—to ask ourselves, what lies beyond intensity?

Cartucho and My Mother's Hands

Cartucho and My Mother's Hands

Autor: Nellie Campobello

Número de Páginas: 144

Nellie Campobello, a prominent Mexican writer and "novelist of the Revolution," played an important role in Mexico's cultural renaissance in the 1920s and early 1930s, along with such writers as Rafael Muñoz and Gregorio López y Fuentes and artists Diego Rivera, Orozco, and others. Her two novellas, Cartucho (first published in 1931) and My Mother's Hands (first published as Las manos de Mamá in 1938), are autobiographical evocations of a childhood spent amidst the violence and turmoil of the Revolution in Mexico. Campobello's memories of the Revolution in the north of Mexico, where Pancho Villa was a popular hero and a personal friend of her family, show not only the stark realism of Cartucho but also the tender lyricism of My Mother's Hands. They are noteworthy, too, as a first-person account of the female experience in the early years of the Mexican Revolution and unique in their presentation of events from a child's perspective.

Love, Starboy

Love, Starboy

Autor: Henry Lyra

Starboy just graduated high school and was on his way to college with his best friend, Moonkid. That’s until a tragic car crash and a head injury sent Starboy to a coma and then permanent brain damage. His personality changed, slowly regressing to babyhood. He begins writing letters to Moonkid telling him how he’s regressing every day. Suddenly college and grown-up’s life are out the window with his developing infantile behavior. His life now revolves around diaper changes, baby bottles, toys, cartoons, and spoon-feeding as every day he acts more like an infant. Those letters and his new relationship with his family and friends help him realize that being a baby might not be the worst thing ever. Maybe it can be a blessing in disguise.

House of Houses

House of Houses

Autor: Pat Mora

Número de Páginas: 322

Combining poetic language and the traditions of magic realism to paint a vivid portrait of her family, Pat MoraÕs House of Houses is an unconventional memoir that reads as if every member, death notwithstanding, is in one room talking, laughing, and crying. In a salute to the Day of the Dead, the story begins with a visit to the cemetery in which all of her deceased relatives come alive to share stories of the family, literally bringing the food to their own funerals. From there the book covers a year in the life of her clan, revealing the personalities and events that Mora herself so desperately yearns to know and understand. ÒPoet MoraÕs complex and dramatic family history comprises more than personal reminiscences: it also embraces resonant aspects of Mexican American history. Mora recounts her familyÕs traumatic exodus from Mexico to escape the violence of Pancho Villa and his forces and their struggles to begin new lives in another country. To anchor her psychologically rich, dramatic, sometimes funny, often touching multigenerational tale, Mora uses the image of a houseÑthe house of housesÑduring a single year, a fruitful metaphor that allows her to dwell on the bright ...

Autor: Christine Jensen Hogan

Número de Páginas: 168

Thomas Merton, monje católico y escritor del siglo XX, y Anne Bradstreet, una de las primeras poetas puritanas que publicaron en Nueva Inglaterra, se encuentran en Gethsemani, abadía de Kentucky donde Merton vivió la mitad de su vida, seis meses después la muerte de este último, en concreto, el día de la publicación de su novela ‘My Argument with the Gestapo’. El interés de Merton por su libro, una profunda declaración contra la guerra, será un tema recurrente a lo largo de la obra. El diálogo arranca cuando, al recitar una parte de su poema “Contemplations”, Anne Bradstreet interrumpe la soledad de Merton, para su consternación. Ella se ha perdido mientras buscaba su hogar y está asustada por ese monasterio “papista” que ha encontrado. La pieza, salpicada de la poesía de cada uno de los escritores, pasa de la preocupación por las apariencias externas (a Merton no le gustaban los puritanos y Bradstreet temía a los católicos), que son tan diferentes, a sus vidas interiores, que son muy similares. Se dan cuenta de que posiblemente estén en el purgatorio e intercambian pensamientos sobre la salvación y Dios, la Iglesia, el papel de la mujer, de la...
