Book excerpt: La historía que podría contar el comienzo del maestro del terror Sinopsis La caja de los relatos de Stephen King: Stephen King empezó a escribir a la temprana edad de ocho años. Cuando salía del cine y si la película era buena, escribía una versión de la misma y se la enseñaba a su madre. Esta, un buen día, le dijo, que porque no escribía sus propios relatos o historias. El pequeño Stevie se puso manos a la obra y a partir de ahí, se inspiró en su alrededor para escribir sus cuentos. Un buen día, cuando cumplió trece años, encontró una caja de cartón llena de manuscritos y libros de Poe y Lovecraft. La caja pertenecía a su padre, que le había abandonado cuando Stevie tenía dos años de edad. Y nadie sabe qué relatos o novelas había dentro de la caja. Pudo Stevie inspirarse en ellos para crear Carrie, El umbral de la noche, Salem ́s Lot, El resplandor, La danza de la muerte, Christine, Cujo, La zona muerta, Ojos de fuego, Cementerio de animales o IT entre otros. Nadie lo sabe con certeza y este relato explica qué pudo haber sucedido... Un poco de introducción (Referencia) Stephen King comenzó a escribir a la temprana edad de ocho años, yo, influenciado por sus trabajos empecé a escribir mis propios relatos treinta años más tarde. Creo que compartimos una misma razón por la pasión de la escritura. Es conocer el miedo en todos sus ángulos. A través de los siguientes años y durante toda mi vida he analizado todos y cada uno de los trabajos de Steve y he llegado a la conclusión, que nos hacemos todos sus fans, que Steve es el rey de la literatura de terror psicológico. Stephen King es un hombre muy inteligente que conoce bien a las personas y su interior. Si Steve no hubiera sido escritor seguro que sería psiquiatra. O al menos eso creo. Sus relatos primerizos son los que más nos llaman la atención. Son relatos escritos con sentimiento y un alto grado de fantasía, así como sus primeros libros. Mis relatos, son un tributo al rey y un reconocimiento de lo que pudiera haber encontrado en esa caja perdida de manuscritos que perteneció a su padre Donald Edwin King y de los cuales nunca se revelaron sus contenidos. ¿Acaso el pequeño Stevie con trece años escogió algunos de esos relatos para rescribirlos? Seguro que no, pero quedó influenciado por ellos y le marcó la vida para siempre. Cuando yo tenía trece años cayó en mis manos la antología de relatos "Night Shift" y quedé claramente influenciado. Tras leer el libro entero, me puse a escribir mis propias historias, influenciado en todo momento por el maestro King. Supongo que eso significa que probablemente sea el fan número uno de Stephen King. O quizás signifique que sea un fanático de Stephen King...El propio King ha reconocido muchas veces que ha escrito relatos y novelas influenciado por alguien o pensando en una persona. Tal es el caso de "Dolores Claiborne" que la escribió pensando en la actriz Kathy Bates. Se la imaginaba cómo podría reaccionar esa mujer si su escritor preferido hubiera dejado de escribir sobre su personaje favorito. King pensó en ella. Y yo pienso en King cuando escribo, es un impulso, no me lo puedo quitar de encima. Stephen King fue magistralmente influenciado por los cómics de la DC de los años cincuenta. Además, se quedó fascinado por las historias de H.P Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, Ray Bardbury e incluso Richard Matheson. Quedó influenciado por ellos. Por sus historias, por su narrativa, por su estilo. Y el cine, también influyó en él. Sobre el autor: Crecí y empecé a escribir influenciado por el maestro del terror y el thriller, Algunos libros míos son: "Los inicios de Stephen King", "La caja de Stephen King", "La historia de Tom" la saga de zombis "Infectados", "Miedo en la medianoche", "Arnie", "Cementerio de Camiones", "Siete libros, Siete pecados", "La casa de Bonmati", "El Sanatorio de Murcia", "Otoño lluvioso" o "Frío invierno".

Book excerpt: ¿De qué hablaban Mozart y Da Ponte mientras componían? ¿Qué palabras amargas se dijeron Verdi y el duque de Rivas frente al Teatro Real de Madrid en la víspera de estrenar La forza del destino? ¿Por qué dejaron de compartir habitación Musorsgky y Rimsky-Korsakov? ¿Tenía envidia Haendel de Bach, o tenía miedo, o solo le dio pereza recibirle y por eso nunca llegaron ni a saludarse? ¿Cómo se tomaba Liszt las críticas de Berlioz? ¿Qué dijo Schubert, un poco borracho, el día del entierro de Beethoven? Las respuestas a estas preguntas... no las tenemos con certeza. Pero el autor de este libro las ha imaginado ayudado por las cartas, las biografías, los testimonios de la época y la obra de los compositores y artistas que protagonizan este libro. Con verdadera admiración y cariño hacia sus personajes, buen pulso narrativo, sentido del humor y atención al detalle, Santiago Miralles Huete firma 24 preludios (y una inesperada "fuga" final) que componen una historia de la música clásica. Alternativa, literaria, imaginada si se quiere, pero fiel y documentada. Un verdadero festín para melómanos de todos los géneros y todas las edades.
Download or read book War Against All Puerto Ricans written by Nelson A Denis and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2015-04-07 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The powerful, untold story of the 1950 revolution in Puerto Rico and the long history of U.S. intervention on the island, that the New York Times says "could not be more timely." In 1950, after over fifty years of military occupation and colonial rule, the Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico staged an unsuccessful armed insurrection against the United States. Violence swept through the island: assassins were sent to kill President Harry Truman, gunfights roared in eight towns, police stations and post offices were burned down. In order to suppress this uprising, the US Army deployed thousands of troops and bombarded two towns, marking the first time in history that the US government bombed its own citizens. Nelson A. Denis tells this powerful story through the controversial life of Pedro Albizu Campos, who served as the president of the Nationalist Party. A lawyer, chemical engineer, and the first Puerto Rican to graduate from Harvard Law School, Albizu Campos was imprisoned for twenty-five years and died under mysterious circumstances. By tracing his life and death, Denis shows how the journey of Albizu Campos is part of a larger story of Puerto Rico and US colonialism. Through oral histories, personal interviews, eyewitness accounts, congressional testimony, and recently declassified FBI files, War Against All Puerto Ricans tells the story of a forgotten revolution and its context in Puerto Rico's history, from the US invasion in 1898 to the modern-day struggle for self-determination. Denis provides an unflinching account of the gunfights, prison riots, political intrigue, FBI and CIA covert activity, and mass hysteria that accompanied this tumultuous period in Puerto Rican history.

Book excerpt: From the acclaimed author of the bestselling Italian Fever and award-winning Property, comes a fresh twist on the classic Jekyll and Hyde story, a novel told from the perspective of Dr. Jekyll's dutiful and intelligent housemaid. "Part psychological novel, part social history, part eerie horror tale ... dark and moving and powerful." —The Washington Post Faithfully weaving in details from Robert Louis Stevenson's classic, Martin introduces an original and captivating character: Mary is a survivor—scarred but still strong—familiar with evil, yet brimming with devotion and love. As a bond grows between Mary and her tortured employer, she is sent on errands to unsavory districts of London and entrusted with secrets she would rather not know. Unable to confront her hideous suspicions about Dr. Jekyll, Mary ultimately proves the lengths to which she'll go to protect him. Through her astute reflections, we hear the rest of the classic Jekyll and Hyde story, and this familiar tale is made more terrifying than we remember it, more complex than we imagined possible.

Manuel Coy is a suspended sailor with time on his hands, a mariner without a ship. While attending a maritime auction in Barcelona, he meets Tánger Soto, a captivating beauty who works for the Naval Museum in Madrid. A woman obsessed with the Dei Gloria, a famed Jesuit ship sunk by pirates in the seventeenth century, she now hopes to find it and unearth its mysteries, rumored to be buried the bottom of the sea off the southern coast of Spain. Quickly drawn into the search, Coy accompanies Tánger Soto, and a wise old man of the sea whose sailboat will carry the crew into the middle of nowhere in search of a fortune.

From the acclaimed author of The Queen of the South, The Nautical Chart is “a swashbuckling tale of mystery” (The Washington Post Book World).

Book excerpt: The “propulsive and mesmerizing” (The New York Times) story collection by the International Booker–shortlisted author of The Dangers of Smoking in Bed and Our Share of Night—now with a new short story. The short stories of Mariana Enriquez are: “The most exciting discovery I’ve made in fiction for some time.”—Kazuo Ishiguro “Violent and cool, told in voices so lucid they feel spoken.”—The Boston Globe (Best Books of the Year) Electric, disturbing, and exhilarating, the stories of Things We Lost in the Fire explore multiple dimensions of life and death in contemporary Argentina. Each haunting tale simmers with the nation's troubled history, but among the abandoned houses, black magic, superstitions, lost loves and regrets, there is also friendship, compassion, and humor. Translated by the National Book Award-winning Megan McDowell, these “slim but phenomenal” (Vanity Fair) stories ask the biggest questions of life and show why Mariana Enriquez has become one of the most celebrated new voices in global literature.

Download or read book Ways of Going Home written by Alejandro Zambra and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2013-01-08 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alejandro Zambra's Ways of Going Home begins with an earthquake, seen through the eyes of an unnamed nine-year-old boy who lives in an undistinguished middleclass housing development in a suburb of Santiago, Chile. When the neighbors camp out overnight, the protagonist gets his first glimpse of Claudia, an older girl who asks him to spy on her uncle Raúl. In the second section, the protagonist is the writer of the story begun in the first section. His father is a man of few words who claims to be apolitical but who quietly sympathized—to what degree, the author isn't sure—with the Pinochet regime. His reflections on the progress of the novel and on his own life—which is strikingly similar to the life of his novel's protagonist—expose the raw suture of fiction and reality. Ways of Going Home switches between author and character, past and present, reflecting with melancholy and rage on the history of a nation and on a generation born too late—the generation which, as the author-narrator puts it, learned to read and write while their parents became accomplices or victims. It is the most personal novel to date from Zambra, the most important Chilean author since Roberto Bolaño.
