José Donoso
About this listen
La novela fundamental de José Donoso, uno de los autores decisivos de la narrativa chilena del siglo XX.
La máscara, el maquillaje que reformula las identidades: José Donoso ha buscado siempre en sus relatos, obsesivamente, ese otro rostro posible de los seres y las cosas. El lugar sin límites (novela que llevó al cine el mexicano Arturo Ripstein) juega eficazmente con el engañoso espejo de los sexos en un prostíbulo de pueblo, especie de infierno anodino donde confluyen no sólo las pasiones eróticas, sino además los sórdidos juegos de poder y dominación que suelen marcar los territorios degradados. Metáfora de la postergación y el encierro, esta novela muestra una marginalidad contra la cual el doble filo de las apariencias parece la única estrategia posible, aunque signifique tentar a la muerte.
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Story
Cuando Eufrasia Vela empieza a trabajar como cuidadora de ancianos, no sospecha que su oficio la llevará a una encrucijada existencial. La íntima relación que mantiene con doña Carmen, el doctor Harrison y Los Siete Magníficos—entrañables personajes que se apoderan de su pensamiento y su cariño—la obliga a replantearse su papel de madre y hermana, las vicisitudes de la longevidad, las formas de la compasión y el sorpresivo valor que los cuyes, esos conejillos de Indias tan peculiares, adquieren en su presupuesto moral.

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.

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.

A finales del siglo XIX, en las tierras paupérrimas del noreste del Brasil, el chispazo de las arengas del Consejero, personaje mesiánico y enigmático, prenderá la insurrección de los desheredados. En circunstancias extremas como aquellas, la consecución de la dignidad vital solo podrá venir de la exaltación religiosa - el convencimiento fanático de la elección divina de los marginados del mundo - y del quebranto radical de las reglas que rigen el mundo de los poderosos.

Dos jóvenes poetas latinoamericanos, Arturo Belano y Ulises Lima, emprenden una aventura que transcurrirá durante varias décadas y cruzará distintos países.

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.

Una voz sorprendente, un bellísimo y osado ejercicio de literatura que mezcla obras de arte, vidas de artistas y la intimidad de la narradora. Este es un audiolibro hecho de miradas. Miradas sobre cuadros, sobre los artistas que los pintaron y sobre la intimidad de la narradora y su entorno. Este es un audiolibro singular y fascinante, inclasificable, en el que la vida y el arte se entretejen. Consta de once partes: once partes que son once capítulos de una novela que relata una historia personal y familiar, pero que también pueden leerse como once cuentos.

Story
Julio Ramón Ribeyro tituló La palabra del mudo al conjunto de sus cuentos, y más tarde destiló su esencia en la presente antología. Clásico incuestionable de la literatura latinoamericana, el volumen hace gala de una gran riqueza literaria y diversidad temática, que el lector encontrará reflejada en textos de corte social, fantástico o poético. Situado al margen del boom de la literatura latinoamericana, Ribeyro fue fiel a sus principios artísticos y eludió siempre la exuberancia en favor de lo marginal y lo cotidiano. Hoy está considerado un maestro de la concisión.
Artículo destacado: Los personajes homosexuales de famosos audiolibros de corte queer
Desde que Virginia Woolf regaló a Orlando a la literatura universal, muchos otros personajes de libros de temática queer han llenado miles de páginas con sus aventuras. Nick y Charlie de Heartstopper, la exitosa serie young adult de Netflix, basada en los libros de Alice Oseman, y el Simon, de Becky Albertalli, son un par de ejemplos de los últimos años. En esta lista hemos reunido a algunos de estos protagonistas.

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.

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
In fifth grade my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student Ryen. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed. It didn't take long for us to figure out the mistake. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. The best take-out pizza. Android vs. iPhone. Whether or not Eminem is the greatest rapper ever. For the next seven years, it was us. She's the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am.

La vida en la nada
Quedé encantado con esta novela del chileno José Donoso. Toma lugar en un pueblo olvidado en el que la Japonesita y la Manuela trabajan en un burdel que ha ido decayendo con el paso del tiempo. Ambas son sobrevivientes natas, expuestas desde siempre al desamor y la crueldad del mundo. Su porvenir está vinculado a Don Alejo, diputado y terrateniente, dueño de cuatro perros amenazadores. Es una obra austera y sin embargo, llena de vida. Tanto los personajes como los diálogos están muy bien logrados y todo fluye con gran naturalidad. Hace tiempo leí ‘El obsceno pájaro de la noche’, también de Donoso, y me gustó mucho. Este libro me gustó más aún. Además, la narración de Sebastián Castro Saavedra es excelente. Su interpretación me recuerda un poco al doblaje en español latinoamericano de las películas de vaqueros de los años '70.
