About this listen
Lectura de bachillerato para la PAU 2020-2022 en la Comunidad Valenciana.
Hay autores que con su vida y su escritura levantan un mundo propio, único, que apenas cuesta identificar en medio de un mar de palabras, de imágenes y de emociones. Es el caso de Federico García Lorca, el escritor en lengua castellana más conocido y popular después de Cervantes y, quizás, el poeta español más apreciado, leído, citado y traducido en el mundo. Hay detrás de él y de su obra una fama que expande su figura por los cinco continentes. Es, por decirlo así, un mito contemporáneo, un personaje que encarna en sí mismo el vitalismo y la tragedia del artista y del hombre, y que condensa en su obra extraordinaria las grandes y universales contradicciones humanas.
El poeta, novelista y ensayista José Luis Ferris ha preparado esta antología comentada con la intención de llegar al gran público, ofreciendo una visión amplia y lo más representativa posible de la poesía de Federico García Lorca y de su evolución personal en el contexto de la literatura de su tiempo. Este audiolibro, recitado por Nacho Fresneda, recoge, a su vez, la variedad inherente de este autor, la que define su personalidad y sus contradicciones, sus dudas y su admirable coherencia de creador maravilloso, original y carismático, su condición de hombre luminoso y de criatura angustiada, oscura, atormentada por la muerte y por el vacío.
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Story
En Rayuela (1963), Julio Cortázar supo condensar sus obsesiones estéticas, literarias y vitales a partir de un mosaico diverso, profundo, inagotable que, a su vez, refleja de forma maravillosa lo más esencial de su época. El amor turbulento de Oliveira y La Maga, los amigos del Club de la Serpiente, las impredecibles caminatas por París -la ciudad que promete el cielo pero puede conducir al infierno-, encuentran su contracara en la aventura protagonizada por Oliveira, Talita y Traveler en Buenos Aires.

"Desconcertante, lista a inquietar a la crítica, está ya en los escaparates la primera novela de Juan Rulfo, Pedro Páramo, que transcurre en una serie de transposiciones oníricas, ahondando más allá de la muerte de sus personajes, que uno no sabe en qué momento son sueño, vida, fábula, verdad, pero a los que se les oye la voz al través de la perspicacia despiadada y certera de tan sin duda extraordinario escritor". Con estas palabras iniciaba Edmundo Valdés la primera reseña de Pedro Páramo, aparecida el 30 de marzo de 1955 y conservada por Juan Rulfo entre sus papeles.

Un misterioso edificio construido en una isla en 1924, un diario escrito por un fugitivo encerrado en sí mismo que se enamora de una mujer impasible, y un comentarista que lo desautoriza en distintas notas al pie. Para la mayoría de los lectores —y qué difícil sería desmentirlos—, La invención de Morel es la obra maestra de Adolfo Bioy Casares, una novela con componentes filosóficos tan potente que llegó a influir, especialmente por medio de Lost, sobre el universo aún en boga de las series.

Story
No tenía patria ni rey, sólo un puñado de hombres fieles. No tenían hambre de gloria, sólo hambre. Así nace un mito. Así se cuenta una leyenda. El arte del mando era tratar con la naturaleza humana, y él había dedicado su vida a aprenderlo. Colgó la espada del arzón, palmeó el cuello cálido del animal y echó un vistazo alrededor: sonidos metálicos, resollar de monturas, conversaciones en voz baja. Aquellos hombres olían a estiércol de caballo, cuero, aceite de armas, sudor y humo de leña.

Las clases -más que conferencias magistrales, una serie de charlas sobre literatura- tratan aspectos del cuento fantástico; la musicalidad, el humor, el erotismo y lo lúdico en la literatura; la imaginación y el realismo, la literatura social y las trampas del lenguaje.

Story
Cuentos y poemas del poeta nicaragüense Rubén Darío, considerada una de las obras más relevantes del modernismo hispánico. La originalidad de Azul radica, entre otras cosas, en la atracción de elementos estéticos y de estilo desde otras literaturas y culturas, especialmente de Francia. Esto permite que los poemas y cuentos se enriquezcan con un amplio vocabulario y variadas imágenes, lo que determina un particular estilo del texto.

Story
Historias de cronopios y de famas (1962) es uno de los libros legendarios de Julio Cortázar. Postulación de una mirada poética capaz de enfrentar las miserias de la rutina y del sentido común, Cortázar toma aquí partido por la imaginación creadora, el humor corrosivo de los surrealistas y el absurdo trascendental de la patafísica. Esta colección de cuentos, instrucciones y viñetas entrañables es una puerta de acceso privilegiada al inagotable mundo de uno de los más grandes escritores de este siglo y un antídoto seguro contra la solemnidad y el aburrimiento.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Story
My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.
