Commission of Tears
Hoy -5% en Libros

Lobo Antunes, Antonio

António Lobo Antunes’s twenty-fifth novel, Commission of Tears (2011, Comissão das Lágrimas) is set during the Angolan Civil War (1975-2002). Angola attained official independence on November 11, 1975 and, while the stage was set for transition, a combination of ethnic tensions and international pressures rendered Angola’s hard-won victory problematic. As with many post-colonial states, Angola was left with both economic and social difficulties which translated into a power struggle between the three predominant liberation movements. The People’s Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), formed in December of 1956 as an offshoot of the Angolan Communist Party, had as its support base the Ambundu people and was largely supported by other African countries, Cuba, and the Soviet Union.In this novel, Lobo Antunes delves into this traumatic period of Angola's history through the fragmented memories and dreams of a broken woman. The author drew from the story of the commander of the female battalion MPLA (Popular movement for the liberation of Angola) who was tortured and killed following the state coup of May 1977. It is said that while they tortured her she did not stop singing. This is the story of Cristina, admitted in to a psychiatric clinic in Lisbon. In her torrent of memories, dialogues and traumatic episodes, Cristina remembers her early childhood in Africa, at the time when everything inside her head was intertwined with her father´s voice, who was a former Black priest and became one of the torturers of the “Commission of Tears.” Cristina’s white mother, a cabaret dancer imported from Lisbon to entertain Portuguese farmers in Angola, marries the Black ex-priest because she finds herself pregnant with Cristina by her the man who exploits her, the cabaret manager. The long, twisting narrative weaves together the three voices of daughter, father, and mother as they recall the terrors of their life in Angola, and their own suffering. Their personal tragedies, scarred by racism and abuse, mirror those of the country that is being torn asunder around them.

Knausgard, Karl Ove

In 1986, twenty-year-old Syvert Løyning returns from the military to his mother’s home in southern Norway. One evening, his dead father comes to him in a dream. Realizing that he doesn’t really know who his father was, Syvert begins to investigate his life and finds clues pointing to the Soviet Union. What he learns changes his past and undermines the entire notion of who he is. But when his mother becomes ill, and he must care for his little brother, Joar, on his own, he no longer has time or space for lofty speculations.In present-day Russia, Alevtina Kotov, a biologist working at Moscow University, is traveling with her young son to the home of her stepfather, to celebrate his eightieth birthday. As a student, Alevtina was bright, curious and ambitious, asking the big questions about life and human consciousness. But as she approaches middle-age, most of that drive has gone, and she finds herself in a place she doesn’t want to be, without really understanding how she got there. Her stepfather, a musician, raised her as his own daughter, and she was never interested in learning about her biological father, when she finally starts looking into him, she learns that he died many years ago and left two sons, Joar and Syvert.Years later, when Syvert and Alevtina meet in Moscow, two very different approaches to life emerge. And as a bright star appears in the sky, it illuminates the wonder of human existence and the mysteries that exist beyond our own worldview. Set against the political and cultural backdrop of both the 1980s and the present day, The Wolves of Eternity is an expansive and affecting book about relations—to one another, to nature, to the dead.

Kafka, Franz

S'ha repetit sovint que Kafka havia decidit destruir tota la seva obra literària. Així, si més no, s'expressa Max Brod, l'amic de l'escriptor i escriptor ell mateix, que en va ser marmessor. I, tanmateix, hi havia dues cartes que Brod va trobar en un calaix, ja mort l'amic, fent pila amb altres papers. Una, en tinta, en la qual hi havia escrita l'adreça de Broch, l'altra, amb llapis, més detallada. En aquesta segona carta, Kafka expressa amb total precisió quines són les obres que vol que siguin conservades: «De tot el que he escrit, són vàlids únicament els llibres La sentència, El fogoner, La metamorfosi, A la colònia penitenciària, Un metge de poble i un conte, Un artista de la fam (els pocs exemplars de Contemplació poden quedar: no vull donar a ningú la molèstia de destruir-los, però no s'ha de reimprimir.» Més endavant, hi afegirà encara tres contes més: «Primer patiment», «Una doneta» i «Josefina la cantant», per tal de fer-ne un llibre, les proves del qual va corregir al sanatori, poc abans de morir. Aquest volum que no pretén prendre partit ni tampoc establir cap cànon recull tots aquests títols, compostos, a més, seguint la presentació tipogràfica prevista pel seu autor.

Man in the Dark

Auster, Paul

Auster's haunting exploration of war in a post 9/11 world from the author of contemporary classic The New York Trilogy: 'a literary voice for the ages' (Guardian)'I am alone in the dark, turning the world around in my head as I struggle through another bout of insomnia, another white night in the great American wilderness.'Seventy-two-year-old August Brill is recovering from a car accident in his daughter's house in Vermont. When sleep refuses to come, he lies in bed and tells himself stories, struggling to push back thoughts about things he would rather forget - his wife's recent death and the horrific murder, in Iraq, of his granddaughter's boyfriend, Titus. Brill, a retired book critic, imagines a parallel world in which America is not at war with Iraq but with itself. In this other America the Twin Towers did not fall on 9/11, and the 2000 election results led to secession, as state after state pulled away from the union and a bloody civil war ensued. As the night progresses, Brill's story grows increasingly intense, and what he is so desperately trying to avoid insists on being told. Joined in the early hours by his granddaughter, he gradually opens up to her and recounts another hidden story, this time of his own marriage. After she falls asleep, he at last finds the courage to revisit the trauma of Titus's death.Passionate and shocking, political and personal: Man in the Dark is a novel that reflects the consequences of 9/11, that forces us to confront the blackness of night even as it celebrates the existence of ordinary joys in a world capable of the most grotesque violence.

Algunas de estas cosas son ciertas
Hoy -5% en Libros

González, Vicky

Algunas de estas cosas son ciertas es como una bolsa de golosinas. Cada relato es un caramelo que seduce y encandila, porque su centro está hecho de deseo: ¿cómo seríamos si hiciéramos aquello que en realidad queremos hacer? Después de probar uno de los cuentos, la lectura ansía el siguiente aunque no todos los sabores sean gratos: el deseo no solo derrama las mieles de los sueños cumplidos, sino también la hiel de las pesadillas. Los personajes de estos relatos son como peces que se han dado cuenta -o están por saber- que habitan en el agua. La pregunta es si han de permanecer dentro o saltar para sentir el estallido del aire en el cuerpo. Transitando carreteras y aeropuertos, mudándose de casa o de país, mujeres y hombres huyen del fastidio y el tedio. Persiguen por las calles de Monterrey o Barcelona, las versiones de sí mismos que podrían llegar a ser si las cosas no fueran como son: si estuvieran menos aburridos, si no existieran los guiones ni las expectativas. En busca del placer, la fascinación, la mirada de los otros, dirigidos por la pasión, los celos, la envidia o el odio, a través del viaje abren un espacio donde las posibilidades de la libertad existen. ¿Qué pasaría si una mujer decide vengarse de sus agresores?, ¿si una chica responde al coqueteo de un hombre mayor en un aeropuerto, o quiere irse con un desconocido en un pueblo español? ¿Qué sucedería si la identidad se finge?, ¿si un tipo pretende ser un diseñador exitoso en Italia, o una mujer simula trabajar en una oficina de extranjería en España? ¿Cómo sería el renacer de una joven que ha muerto por unos minutos? ¿Se puede resetear una vida en otro país? En su primer libro, Vicky González ha reunido veinte cuentos fascinantes. Con una amalgama alucinante de humor y tragedia, vincula geografías distantes para decirnos que el deseo es un lugar extraño: es el umbral donde se puede soñar, donde la fantasía es un aliciente para la vida, pero también donde pueden nacer la violencia y el horror.

Ledu, Stephanie

Des châteaux de bois pour se défendre des attaques vikings aux châteaux de pierre des seigneurs, le château fort est le bâtiment le plus emblématique du Moyen Âge.Ce ''P'tit doc'' permet d'explorer sa construction nécessitant de longues années de travaux, les parties du château (la basse cour et la haute cour, avec le donjon et les lieux de vie du seigneur), la protection du domaine, les grandes fêtes... Mais le danger n'est jamais loin, car un château fort sert avant tout à se protéger des attaques, voire d'un siège !

La tour Eiffel
Hoy -5% en Libros

Ledu, Stephanie

Ce ''P'tits docs'' retrace l'histoire de ce monument parisien si connu. Inaugurée lors de l'Exposition universelle de 1889, elle était le plus haut bâtiment existant de l'époque. La tour devait être démontée, mais Gustave Eiffel l'a sauvée en en faisant un paratonnerre. Elle a aussi servi d'antenne radio pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, puis de radio grand public plus tard. Aujourd'hui, les gratte-ciels l'ont dépassée, mais elle fait partie de l'histoire et continue de fasciner petits et grands.

Elogio de la desobediencia
Hoy -5% en Libros

Michnik, Adam

Esta colección de textos de Adam Michnik, Premio Princesa de Asturias y figura clave de la transición de su país a la democracia, es la primera antología preparada originalmente para el lector español. Hijo de supervivientes del Holocausto, disidente en la Polonia comunista, preso político, miembro del sindicato clandestino Solidaridad y director de Gaceta Wyborcza, la vida de Adam Michnik recorre la historia polaca y europea, de la que es testigo intelectual, pero también protagonista político. La antología se extiende a lo largo de toda su trayectoria, engarzando ensayos esenciales para comprender los grandes desafíos de nuestro tiempo. Desde Nueva vía evolutiva (1976) y la mítica carta escrita en prisión (1983), hasta el epitafio de Aleksiey Navalny y una entrevista sobre la Rusia de Putin (2024), algunos son testimonios históricos de una época pasada, varios resuenan como advertencias tempranas de la deriva europea hacia el populismo y, por último, otros exponen reflexiones de la más acuciante vigencia. Por sus páginas desfilan algunos de los protagonistas de la historia reciente de Europa, desde Thomas Mann a Václav Havel, desde Andréi Sájarov al papa Juan Pablo II. Entre todos ellos, el propio Michnik, por su mente lúcida y su heroico valor, destaca como el más fascinante de los personajes.
