About this listen
Una mujer acaba de perder a su marido y vela el cadáver durante la noche. Sobre la mesilla hay un libro - la Biblia - que la esposa hojea. Va leyendo los párrafos subrayados por el hombre que se ha ido para siempre. Una oleada de recuerdos le viene a la mente y empieza un lento, desordenado monólogo en el que la vida pugna por hacerse real otra vez. La pobre vida llena de errores y torpezas, de pequeños goces e incomprensiones. ¿Ha conocido Carmen alguna vez a Mario?
Escuchemos el irritante discurrir de la pequeña y estrecha mentalidad de la esposa. Otro hombre irá poco a poco descubriéndose, para todos menos para ella, con toda su desesperanza y su fe en la vida.
Cinco horas con Mario es una novela de gran penetración psicológica que, a través de un alma femenina puesta al descubierto, llega hasta el fondo de la sociedad española de su tiempo. Sólo un escritor de la categoría de Miguel Delibes podía enfrentarse con este difícil tema y resolverlo tan brillantemente.
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Story
En 1517, las tesis de Martín Lutero desencadenaron la Reforma protestante. Ese mismo año nació en Valladolid Cipriano Salcedo. En tiempos de convulsiones políticas y religiosas, esa coincidencia de fechas marcaría fatalmente su destino. Huérfano desde su nacimiento y falto del amor del padre, Cipriano contó, no obstante, con el afecto de su nodriza Minervina, una relación que le sería arrebatada y que le perseguiría el resto de su vida.

Story
En la Extremadura profunda de los años sesenta, la humilde familia de Paco el Bajo sirve en un cortijo sometida a un régimen de explotación casi feudal que parece haberse detenido en el tiempo pero sobre el que soplan ya algunos aires nuevos. Es época de caza y Paco se ha tronzado el peroné. Las presiones del señorito para que lo acompañe en las batidas a pesar de su estado sirven para retratar la crueldad y los abusos de una clase instalada en unos privilegios que considera inalienables y que los protagonistas soportan con una dignidad ejemplar.

Story
192 d.C. Varios hombres luchan por un imperio, pero Julia, hija de reyes, madre de césares y esposa de emperador, piensa en algo más ambicioso: una dinastía. Roma está bajo el control de Cómodo, un emperador loco. El Senado se conjura para terminar con el tirano y los gobernadores militares más poderosos podrían dar un golpe de Estado: Albino en Britania, Severo en el Danubio o Nigro en Siria. Cómodo retiene a sus esposas para evitar su rebelión y Julia, la mujer de Severo, se convierte así en rehén.

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.

Story
La familia de Pascual Duarte vio la luz en 1942 y tuvo un enorme impacto en el panorama literario español del momento. Primer libro de Camilo José Cela, supuso un valioso punto de partida para la narrativa española de posguerra. La vida trágica de su arquetípico protagonista, gobernada por la más salvaje violencia, era un comentario indirecto sobre la barbarie padecida por los españoles durante la recién concluida Guerra Civil, al tiempo que daba carta de naturaleza a una tendencia literaria renovadora, luego conocida como «tremendismo».
