Eider Rodríguez proyecta en esta novela una mirada diferente sobre la rutina nuestra de cada día. En ninguna de las historias que este libro nos cuenta hay un misterio extraordinario, ni falta que le hace. Son relatos que no pretenden seducirnos halagando esos confusos y sensibles egos en los que los gatos se visten de liebres que corren por el mar y por el monte las sardinas que se muerden la cola oliendo a Borges y a otras hierbas metaliterarias. Aquí sí se sabe quién nos ha dado vela para este entierro que llamamos esperanza: la vida nuestra de cada día dánosla hoy y perdónanos nuestras deudas y nosotros perdonemos las vuestras. Una narrativa que indaga, con voz desnuda e inclemente, en el estar de unos personajes a los que arrebata con aparente frialdad los pocos argumentos que pudieran tener para disculparse por su mediocridad y su cobardía. La literatura nuestra de cada día.

L’ELOGI DELS FUMUTS és un recull de dotze contes sobre la improbable extinció dels idiotes, relats ben diversos i diferents en tractament, estructura i gènere, si bé domina el color negre: de veure-ho tot negre, de posar-se negre amb el que passa al món, d’humor negre, de gènere negre, de vegades fosc, negríssim, però sempre amb un nexe en comú, una mirada tendra i astorada sobre l’estupidesa humana.Diu el diccionari que un idiota és qui es comporta i pensa de manera absurda i inadequada a les situacions. Un mot que, passant pel llatí, ve del grec antic ἰδιώτης, idiōtēs, «home particular, ciutadà simple, ignorant». Individus absurds que es passegen en les pàgines d’aquest llibre sense donar mai treva a la seva estupidesa, prenent forma de marit, polític, guerrer, somiatruites, maltractador, assassí, víctima, escriptor, lector... Tant en masculí com en femení o no binari. A tothom, en un moment o un altre, li toca rebre, però també, sovint, personatges semblants reben l’elogi dels fumuts, dels perjudicats, dels insurgents que es rebel·len.

In the somnolent Flemish town of Quiquendone disagreements are unheard of, courtships might last a decade and not a ripple of activity can be seen at all. But when the mysterious Dr Ox is tasked with providing lighting for the town, strange things begin to happen: animals become aggressive, fruits grow huge in size, plants climb more vigorously and tempers flare up, leading the once phlegmatic townsfolk to bitter confrontations and pushing them to the brink of all-out violence.Verne, the acclaimed author of immortal tales of adventure and early science fiction, can be seen here in a different light, regaling readers of all ages with a light-hearted satire that, in its warnings about the dangers of scientific experimentation, has a clear and troubling resonance with our times.

When The Unbearable Lightness of Being was first published in English, it was hailed as ''a work of the boldest mastery, originality, and richness'' by critic Elizabeth Hardwick and named one of the best books of 1984 by the New York Times Book Review.

Twenty years later, the novel has established itself as a modern classic.A young woman in love with a man torn between his love for her and his incorrigible womanizing, one of his mistresses and her humbly faithful lover—these are the two couples whose story is told in this masterful novel.Controlled by day, Tereza's jealousy awakens by night, transformed into ineffably sad death-dreams, while Tomas, a successful surgeon, alternates loving devotion to the dependent Tereza with the ardent pursuit of other women. Sabina, an independent, free-spirited artist, lives her life as a series of betrayals -- of parents, husband, country, love itself -- whereas her lover, the intellectual Franz, loses all because of his earnest goodness and fidelity.

1960. The border between East and West Germany has closed.For Elisabeth - a young painter - the GDR is her generation's chance to build an egalitarian socialist future. For her brother Uli, it is a place of stricture and oppression. Separating them is the ever-wider chasm of the party line, over them loom the twin spectres of opportunity and fear, and the shadow of their defector brother Konrad. In prose as bold as a scarlet paint stroke, Brigitte Reimann battles with the clash of idealism and suppression, familial loyalty and desire. This fervid, ground-breaking novel, written when Reimann was only twenty-seven, remains one of the cult classics of East German literature.

En un pequeño pueblo a orillas del canal de Kiel, una familia desaparece sin dejar rastro. Pronto, la casa abandonada se convierte en el epicentro de las preocupaciones de los vecinos, de Julia, de casi cuarenta años, recién instalada en el barrio y en tratamiento para quedar embarazada. De Astrid, la médica local, de poco más de sesenta años, preocupada por su anciana tía y por unas cartas amenazantes que llegan al buzón de casa. Y luego está el misterioso niño que aparece en el jardín de la familia desaparecida, dejando notas por debajo de la puerta.«Los de al lado» es una extraordinaria novela atmosférica sobre el aislamiento de la vida contemporánea y el anhelo de pertenencia. Bilkau escribe sin florituras, con un ritmo ameno pero misterioso que se propone renovar el género rural y el thriller policial, sin dejar de desafiar al lector a dilucidar lo que de otro modo permanecería en secreto. Todos encubren emociones, deseos y miedos, pero todos buscan, al mismo tiempo, un lugar, o una persona, en quien refugiarse.

Vuelve Leavitt con una sátira política, libre de maniqueísmos y cargada de humor, sobre la América contemporánea. «¿Estaríais dispuestos a preguntarle a Siri cómo asesinar a Trump?», pregunta Eva Lindquist a un grupo de amigos en su segunda residencia de Connecticut. Todos pertenecen a la sofisticada esfera cultural neoyorquina, y se reúnen el sábado después de las elecciones presidenciales de 2016 para abordar lo que consideran la mayor catástrofe política de sus vidas. Entre los invitados, liberales y afines, se encuentran un decorador de interiores, una pareja de editores, un coreógrafo y una escritora empeñados en restaurar la burbuja en la que se habían acostumbrado a vivir.Pero solo Eva, anfitriona generosa y obsesionada por la decoración, se propone llevar el afán de asegurarse un refugio hasta sus últimas consecuencias. Su marido Bruce trabaja como asesor de gestión de patrimonios, y ella consigue convencerlo para comprar un apartamento (ruinoso o «con posibilidades», según quién lo mire) en Venecia. Su objetivo es dedicarse a reformar la nueva casa y pasar allí, a salvo, la legislatura de Trump. Pero embarcarse en esta aventura inesperada tendrá consecuencias, acaso irreparables, en el matrimonio.Con el humor y la sagacidad que le son propios, David Leavitt firma una espléndida novela coral sobre la casa y el hogar, la seguridad y la libertad, y las formas inusitadas en las que la agitación política puede socavar hasta los cimientos más aparentemente inquebrantables. Treinta años después de que se tradujera al español su primera novela, a la que siguieron otras once obras de singular relevancia ''todas ellas en Anagrama'', A resguardo confirma a Leavitt como una de las grandes figuras de la literatura norteamericana contemporánea.
