About this listen
El poderoso debut de Beatrice Salvioni, ganadora del Premio Calvino 2021, vendido en 28 idiomas antes de su publicación
«El indiscutible fenómeno literario del año. [...] Un libro magnético».
Irene Hernández Velasco, El Confidencial
Monza, Italia, 1936. Francesca, de trece años, yace a orillas del río Lambro bajo el peso de un hombre muerto que ha intentado violarla. Su amiga Maddalena se arrastra desde el agua y la ayuda a zafarse del cuerpo, que esconden entre unos arbustos. La relación entre las dos adolescentes comenzó un año antes, cuando Francesca quedó fascinada por la rebeldía de la que todos llaman «la Malnacida», de origen humilde y siniestros poderes. Contraviniendo la voluntad de una madre obsesionada por las convenciones e ignorando las malas lenguas que achacan varias muertes a la Malnacida, Francesca se unirá a su pandilla para descubrir una nueva forma de vida rebosante de libertad. Sin embargo, la guerra y el fascismo pondrán a prueba su vínculo, y las dos amigas deberán decidir si aliarse contra la opresión social y la injusticia o dejar que el curso de la historia las separe para siempre.
La Malnacida es el fulgurante debut de Beatrice Salvioni, premia_do por la Scuola Holden que dirige Alessandro Baricco y que, antes de su publicación, ha conquistado a treinta y dos editores en el mundo.
La crítica ha dicho:
«Una pequeña joya que resulta imprescindible y confirma que las letras italianas en femenino están viviendo toda una revolución».
Alberto Sisí Sánchez, Vogue
«Hay primeras novelas que fascinan por su fondo y hay primeras novelas que fascinan por su forma. La Malnacida lo hace desde ambos puntos de vista. [...] Sus reflexiones, sus escenas ásperas y sus incómodos escenarios parecen salidos de [...] manos experimentadas como las de Elsa Morante, como las de Alberto Moravia o incluso como las de Elena Ferrante. [...] Léanla».
Sonia Fides, Público
«La malnacida es llamativa por su dureza y por la sensibilidad con la que narra la historia de amistad -y en cierta forma de amor-».
Diego Moreno Bermejo, El Debate
«Un debut narrativo brillante, vital y hermoso».
Forbes
«Impecable y cautivador. [...] Un soplo de aire fresco».
Gudrun Palomino, Papel en blanco
«Con un final luminoso, Salvioni, pone el broche de oro a una historia llena de justicia e injusticia, de rabia, pero sobre todo una historia sobre el poder del amor aún cuando lo que reina es la miseria humana».
Pilar Martín, EFE
«La calidad literaria se nota en las primeras páginas. [...] Con una fuerte carga social y política, está plagada de empoderamiento femenino y la lucha contra el fascismo. De verdad que no deberían perderse este libro, qué manera más bárbara de escribir. [...] Un fenómeno literario al que no le deberían perder la pista».
Ana Rivera, Diari de Tarragona
«Al leer La Malnacida, se entienden enseguida las razones del aplauso colectivo anticipado. [...] La amistad poderosa y visceral entre dos jóvenes diferentes y complementarias recuerda, por momentos, a La amiga estupenda».
Leonetta Bentivoglio, La Repubblica
«Una madurez lingüística y un dominio de la narrativa que sorprende y fascina. [...] Beatrice Salvioni [tiene] la habilidad de imaginar universos literarios en los que resuenan grandes temas contemporáneos».
Giuseppe Lorenti, Il Venerdì
«Profundamente conmovedora: [...] una lectura emocionante que nos recuerda la importancia de abrazar la libertad y de luchar contra la opresión».
Sufy, Librered

Story
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
Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

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
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

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.

Muy molesto de escuchar.
La historia es interesante, sin embargo, las descripciones en su mayoría fueron alargadas sin ser necesarias. La narración consta de cantos que molestan que tampoco eran necesarios pues pudieron dejarlos a la imaginación. Además, al estar a un volumen alto y ser grotescos, interrumpían la narración por lo que la escuché en velocidad rápida la mayoría del tiempo. Me arrepentí de comprarlo. La historia no tiene fin. Es como haber escuchado para nada, y para colmo, un audio con "cantos" y dramatizaciones molestas. Mientras hablaba para narrar estuvo bien, cuando intentó dramatizar, terrible.
