Sobre mí mismo
Los años en que vivió Thomas Mann, de 1875 a 1955, significaron en suconjunto una época verdaderamente fatídica para la historia de Alemania.Y Mann los sufrió como muchos, pero de forma diferente, llevándolo todomás allá gracias a sus escritos. En ellos fue introduciendo detalles,recuerdos, anécdotas y sentimientos, llegando incluso a anotar día yhora. Y con ello se puede decir sin caer en falsedad que existe unaidentidad total entre obra y persona.Este Sobre mí mismo es, a modo de presentación o ensayo autobiográfico,un texto donde el autor se sincera sobre sí mismo más aún que encualquier otra obra suya una aventura personal, un cuaderno de viajes yepisodios familiares, y todo aquello que concierne a su trabajo, y susideas acerca de la religión, la música o el psicoanálisis, por ejemplo.Así, Mann se convierte en un representante cultural de su tiempo ydemuestra ser, una vez más, un profundo conocedor del ser humano.

Perhaps the single most influential work of English drama, William Shakespeare's Hamlet is a timeless tragedy of the conflicted loyalties, madness, betrayal and terrible revenge. This Penguin Shakespeare edition is edited by T.J.B. Spencer with an introduction by Alan Sinfield. 'To be or not to be - that is the question' Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. When young prince Hamlet is confronted by his father's ghost on the battlements of Castle Elsinore, he is burdened with a terrible task: slay King Claudius, Hamlet's uncle, who the ghost alleges murdered him. Wrestling with his conscience, Hamlet feigns wild madness while plotting a brutal revenge, alienating his mother Queen Gertrude and spurning his lover Ophelia. But the act of insanity takes Hamlet perilously close to the reality, wreaking havoc on guilty and innocent alike. This book contains a general introduction to Shakespeare's life and Elizabethan theatre, a separate introduction to Hamlet, a chronology, suggestions for further reading, an essay by Paul Prescott discussing performance options on both stage and screen, and a commentary. William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was born to John Shakespeare and Mary Arden some time in late April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. He wrote about 38 plays (the precise number is uncertain), many of which are regarded as the most exceptional works of drama ever produced, including Romeo and Juliet (1595), Henry V (1599), Hamlet (1601), Othello (1604), King Lear (1606) and Macbeth (1606), as well as a collection of 154 sonnets, which number among the most profound and influential love-poetry in English. If you enjoyed Hamlet, you might like Shakespeare's Macbeth, also available in Penguin Shakespeare. 'It has everything - intrigue, romance, politics, violence, revenge, jealousy, wit. It plays itself out on such a grand scale' Kenneth Branagh.

«A arte de escribir consiste en dicir moito con poucas palabras», afirmaba Chéjov, o pai do conto moderno. Un reto para quen crea e unha aventura para quen le. Nestes vinte e dous relatos de «Compostela» achegámonos á cidade dende diversas voces e olladas, mais tamén fuximos dela a arrabaldes de grandes urbes, a vilas pequenas ou a barrios con encanto. Neste paseo literario gozamos de voces consagradas no xénero e doutras que se inician, xeracións diferentes que dialogan nunha mesma lingua na que constrúen historias enraizadas en nós. Cada conto é mostra do gran momento literario do país, estas páxinas son un remuíño de bolboretas mergulladas na mesma luz, a da literatura galega. (Malores Villanueva) A cousa é que a nave foi. E con esta xa van tres... E esta, como di un amigo meu que canta moito e moi ben, «Partiu!». (Pedro Feijoo)

Hona zein den tragedia shakespearetar eta komedia txe-khovtar baten arteko alde nagusia: Shakespeareren tragedia baten amaieran agertokia gorpuz betea dagoela, pertsonaia hilez, eta beharbada justizia nagusitu da, beharbada. Txekhoven antzezlan baten bukaeran, jende guztia desilusionatua dago, guztiz joa, atsekabetua, adoregabetua, baina bizirik. Eta nik bizitza osoan sinetsi izan dut borroka egin behar genukeela, ez gatazka baten amaiera zoriontsu bat izateko –gatazken amaiera zoriontsuetan ez dut nik sinesten–, soluzio txekhovtar bat izateko baizik. ––––––––––––––––– Der grösste Unterschied zwischen der Shakespear’schen Tragödie und der Tschechow’schen Komödie liegt darin, dass am Ende der Tragödie nach Shakespeare die Bühne bedeckt ist mit Leichen, und vielleicht hat die Gerechtigkeit gesiegt, vielleicht. Am Ende eines Stückes von Tschechow sind alle enttäuscht, erschüttert, untröstlich, gebrochen – aber am Leben. Seit ich denken kann bin ich davon überzeugt, dass es nicht darum geht, für das glückliche Ende von Konflikten zu kämpfen – ich glaube bei Konflikten gibt es kein Happy End – sondern für eine Tschechowsche Lösung. ––––––––––––––––– La principal diferencia entre una tragedia de Shakespeare y una comedia de Chejov es que al finalizar una tragedia de Shakespeare el escenario está cubierto de cadáveres y quizás –solo quizás– se haya impuesto la justicia. Al término de una comedia de Chejov, todo el mundo está decepcionado, afligido, derrotado o desencantado, pero vivo. Y toda mi vida he pensado que deberíamos luchar no por un final feliz del conflicto –nunca he creído en los finales felices de los conflictos–, sino por una solución chejoviana.

De milagres fantasiosos Disque Compostela naceu cando Paio, o eremita, foi guiado por unhas luminarias misteriosas ata a tumba do apóstolo Santiago. De aí o nome de Campus Stellae. E tamén disque o rei Afonso II foi o primeiro peregrino da historia. E que comezou así unha afluencia masiva de camiñantes que non cesou ata os nosos días. Unha incrible sucesión de milagres, non é? Pois lamento dicir que todo isto é mentira. Unha lenda, máis nada. Unha fantasía. A Compostela primixenia Nos primeiros tempos, ao redor dun sepulcro sen identificar non había máis nada que un burgo modesto e unha pequena igrexa. O propio Vaticano desmentiu que esa puidese ser a tumba de Iacobus, e mesmo algún bispo chegou a ser excomungado por defender esa tese. Un milagre tanxible É no ano 1068 cando nace Diego. El fixo de Compostela un arcebispado, e creou a catedral máis fastosa do mundo. El coroou reis e entronizou papas, ordenou escribir os códices máis marabillosos e puxo a insignificante Compostela á altura de Roma e de Xerusalén. El creou o Camiño de Santiago, e en base a el forxou Europa. Esta é a súa historia, e é real. Isto é o que el construíu no século do milagre. Ata agora coñecías a lenda. Agora has descubrir a verdade.

Entre o lume do val e as néboas da serra, algo se revolve nas entrañas da Galicia máis feroz e descarnada. Unha serie atroz de asasinatos espertará a memoria dun nome perdido no tempo e, como nun segredo que se comparte en voz baixa, un temor comezará a repetirse nos rumores: «Volveu o Sacaúntos...». «Onde nacen as bestas» é unha novela sobre o lado salvaxe do noso propio ser, onde a montaña marca as personalidades dos seus habitantes e a piedade pode desaparecer en calquera momento. Unha historia cunha atmosfera densa e inquietante, onde as fronteiras entre o cotián e o imaxinario se cruzan e mesturan ata facer imposible distinguir que é real e que lenda. Pedro Feijoo mergúllanos nunha historia de violencia ancestral, silencios familiares e identidades ocultas. Un thriller apaixonante que explora os recunchos máis escuros da natureza humana, onde todos gardamos os nosos segredos e nada é o que parece. Ou, se cadra, si.

Julio Cortázar: el cronopio fugitivo
El nombre de Julio Cortázar aún resuena en todo el mundo por su calidadliteraria y por su hondo compromiso con el ser humano. Considerado comouno de los autores más importantes del siglo XX, su vida fue tancontrovertida y apasionante como su obra. Escribió, viajó por diferentespaíses y pasó largas temporadas en ellos dejando un rastro imborrable deprofeta social, especialmente en tierras latinoamericanas. En todo esetiempo Cortázar nunca olvidó su destino y luchó por sus ideales, yafueran artísticos, políticos o metafísicos, y siempre bajo el paraguasde la literatura, su vieja amiga de la infancia que le acompañó hasta lamuerte.Pero tras este autor carismático y cosmopolita, se ocultaba un individuofuera de lo común: una persona de extraordinaria sensibilidad que viviómarcada por los traumas familiares y por una relación conflictiva con supropio país, Argentina. Cortázar fue hombre de grandes amores y deexcelentes amigos, también de oscuros secretos. Basándose en recienteshallazgos documentales, Miguel Dalmau construye una biografía rigurosa,vibrante y atrevida, un retrato que se aleja de los patrones académicosal uso para mostrarnos el lado más íntimo y desconocido de un artistaexcepcional.

Xavier Queipo, un dos narradores galegos que máis se ten prodigado na narrativa breve, celebra o seu 66 aniversario con esta colección de sesenta e seis relatos breves, aos que engade un limiar esclarecedor. A primeira parte do libro, «Relatos atópicos», recolle contos no sentido estrito, aínda que con sorpresas, «Gabinete de curiosidades» fai lembrar as prosas das súas entregas anteriores («Contornos», de 1993, e «Mundiños», de 1995), «Prosas finiseculares» é unha colección de fragmentos do seu diario na última década do século XX. Como xa acontecera en «55» (Xerais, 2014), este libro conforma un crisol de historias que pasean polo gume entre a realidade e a ficción, con moitas referencias eruditas e tamén con lembranzas de vidas que xa sucederon ou que aínda poderán suceder. Un Xavier Queipo en estado puro que explora a innovación temática e formal.

As the temperature rises in Gaborone, Precious Ramotswe, founder of the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, wonders whether the heat could be the reason that business is particularly slow. Luckily, a slower pace in life is her natural preference, unlike her colleague Mma Makutsi, who is alert to every passing observation and inclined to making snap decisions. With fewer cases to handle, Precious has time to contemplate her new neighbours, a couple who, by the sounds of it, have a rather volatile relationship . . .But then a distant cousin of Mma Ramotswe’s comes to the agency with a plea for help, and the ladies decide to pursue the issue together. Armed with Mma Ramotswe’s circumspection and Mma Makutsi’s sharp eye, they proceed with confidence and open hearts. What, after all, could be more straightforward than a family matter?Meanwhile, their colleague Charlie is behaving oddly, borrowing Mma Ramotswe’s van and returning it in an unusual condition. Digging a little deeper, the explanation is both strange and extraordinary, and takes Charlie, along with Mma Ramotswe’s husband, Mr J. L. B. Matekoni, on a hair-raising night-time expedition.In the end, Precious is reminded of the need to view a picture from every angle, to accept the imperfections in people and situations, and then find a solution – preferably over a delicious slice of her friend Mma Potokwani’s fruit cake.

Bill Bryson has the rare knack of being out of his depth wherever he goes - even (perhaps especially) in the land of his birth. This became all too apparent when, after nearly two decades in England, the world's best-loved travel writer upped sticks with Mrs Bryson, little Jimmy et al. and returned to live in the country he had left as a youth.Of course there were things Bryson missed about Blighty but any sense of loss was countered by the joy of rediscovering some of the forgotten treasures of his childhood: the glories of a New England autumn, the pleasingly comical sight of oneself in shorts, and motel rooms where you can generally count on being awakened in the night by a piercing shriek and the sound of a female voice pleading, 'Put the gun down, Vinnie, I'll do anything you say.'Whether discussing the strange appeal of breakfast pizza or the jaw-slackening direness of American TV, Bill Bryson brings his inimitable brand of bemused wit to bear on that strangest of phenomena - the American way of life...

Relegadas tradicionalmente a un papel secundario y a menudo pasivo en la sociedad, las mujeres encontraron muy pronto en la lectura una manera de romper las estrecheces de su mundo. La puerta abierta al conocimiento, la imaginación, el acceso a otro mundo, un mundo de libertad e independencia, les ha permitido desarrollarse y adoptar, poco a poco, nuevos roles en la sociedad. A través de un recorrido por las numerosas obras de arte que reflejan la estrecha relación entre libros y mujeres, Stefan Bollmann rinde un sentido homenaje a las mujeres y confirma el excepcional poder que confiere la lectura.
