Download or read book Cuentos de viaje written by Luis Alberto Ambroggio and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "..Los cuentos...me han gustado mucho. (Algunos) son pequeñas historias sobre algunas ridículas tragedias de la posmodernidad, cuyo humor -y ahí está, creo, su mayor mérito- deriva de una mirada que se desliza de la ironía a la compasión, pues el narrador mezcla su propia voz con la del personaje, evitando así situarse en un plano de superioridad. Lo ridículo se convierte en una atmósfera que todos estamos obligados a respirar: nadie queda exento". Graciela Tomassini, autora de Reconfiguraciones. Estudios críticos sobre narrativa breve hispanoamericana de fin de siglo (Rosario: Fundación Ross, 1996). Muchas de estas diminutas historias atraen tanto por no ser muy comunes como por serlo. En el viaje de la vida uno se encuentra con situaciones reales que superan la magia y excitan la imaginación más allá de lo que pareciera posible, hasta que lo sucedido, lo dicho, lo experimentado prueban lo contrario. Allí reside su ironía, su humor, su belleza y desconcierto. Cuentos de viaje para siete cuerdas y otras metafísicas documenta ficticiamente estas ocurrencias y sus impensables implicaciones. El malabarismo de lo inesperado se convierte en un microrrelato que perdura en un pentagrama de posibles reflexiones, conclusiones y las estelas de otras expansiones imaginativas. "Estos cuentos proponen conocer y reflexionar sobre toda clase de viajes entre ciudades, países y continentes. Pero proponen, sobre todo, viajar entre los más diversos momentos de la experiencia cotidiana. ... Es desde ese lugar privilegiado donde sugiero al lector que se asome a leer un par de textos representativos de este volumen: las "Instrucciones para salir del internet" y las "Instrucciones para meter la pata". En ambos, el logrado homenaje al Manual de Instrucciones de Julio Cortázar demuestra que la voz más genuina del autor, la que está detrás de todas las otras, es la de un cronopio. Favor de asegurar el cinturón de seguridad y disponerse a disfrutar de estos Cuentos de viaje". Lauro Zavala Ahora y con otro género "Ambroggio nos invita a viajar con él, experimentar el mundo como lo ve -con júbilo, admiración y una reverencia sorprendetes" Oscar Hijuelos, Premio Pulitzer

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Había una vez . . . Una niña llamada Petra Peña que no quería otra cosa que ser cuentista, como su abuelita. Pero el mundo de Petra está llegando a su fin. La Tierra ha sido destruida por un cometa, y solo unos pocos científicos y sus hijos —entre ellos, Petra y su familia— han sido elegidos para viajar a un nuevo planeta. Son ellos quienes garantizarán la continuidad de la raza humana. Cientos de años después, Petra despierta en el nuevo planeta y descubre que es la única persona que recuerda a la Tierra. Un siniestro Colectivo ha tomado el mando de la nave durante el viaje, empeñado en borrar los pecados pasados de la humanidad. En forma sistemática, han purgado los recuerdos de quienes se habían embarcado… o directamente los han purgado. Solo Petra atesora las historias de nuestro pasado y, con ellas, las esperanzas para nuestro futuro. ¿Podrá devolverles la vida? Donna Barba Higuera, ganadora del Premio Pura Belpré, nos ofrece un viaje brillante al mismo corazón de eso que nos hace humanos.
Download or read book Una patria all lejos en el pasado written by César Andrés Núñez and published by El Colegio de Mexico AC. This book was released on 2011-05-20 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las historias e invenciones de Félix Muriel, de Rafael Dieste, se publicaron en Buenos Aires en 1943 y, ya entonces, pudo causar cierta sorpresa el hecho de que su autor, exiliado republicano, no se refiriera en ellas a la reciente guerra de España ni a sus consecuencias. Sin embargo, de modo subrepticio, la política estructura el texto y contribuye a construir la problemática unidad del libro -un libro que muchos llamaron "obra maestra" y que José Ramón Marra-López ha situado "al margen de toda posible clasificación". No para clasificarlo, sino para entender esa "marginalidad" y los motivos de su encanto está escrito este estudio, el primero dedicado en extenso específicamente al volumen y el primero que contempla con detenimiento el manuscrito autógrafo.

Book excerpt: “A wonderful nightmare of a book: tender and frightening, disturbing but compassionate. Fever Dream is a triumph of Schweblin’s outlandish imagination.” –Juan Gabriel Vasquez, author of The Sound of Things Falling and Reputations A young woman named Amanda lies dying in a rural hospital clinic. A boy named David sits beside her. She’s not his mother. He's not her child. Together, they tell a haunting story of broken souls, toxins, and the power and desperation of family.
