Publisher's summary
Verónica tarda, Verónica se demora inexplicablemente y el libro sigue hasta que ella regrese o hasta que Julián esté seguro de que ya no volverá. De eso va La vida privada de los árboles: de la noche larga y tal vez definitiva que Julián pasa esperando que su mujer regrese, que el libro termine.
Hacia el final de esta, la segunda novela de Alejandro Zambra, Julián desea ser una voz en off, un coleccionista de historias ajenas; quiere escribir y no ser escrito, pero esperar es dejarse escribir: esperar es seguir una constante deriva de imágenes. Entonces la historia comienza mucho antes de esa noche última, tal vez una tarde de 1984, con la escena de un niño mirando televisión. Y termina con las inevitables conjeturas sobre la vida de Daniela, la hija de Verónica, a los veinte, a los veinticinco, a los treinta años, cuando ha pasado mucho tiempo desde que su padrastro le contaba historias sobre los árboles.
¿Por qué leer y escribir libros en un mundo a punto de quebrarse? Esta pregunta ronda cada página de La vida privada de los árboles, una novela que vino a confirmar a Alejandro Zambra como uno de los escritores más interesantes de las nuevas generaciones; una novela que "nos plantea una línea argumental delgada y breve, detrás de la cual se pueden visualizar ramificaciones espesas como en un espejismo de bosques": lo dice Margarita García Robayo en el epílogo a esta nueva edición, un epílogo que es la crónica del descubrimiento que aún aguarda a quien se acerque a las páginas de este "pequeño libro enorme".

Durante buena parte de esta novela Gonzalo es un poetastro que quiere ser poeta y un padrastro que se comporta como si fuera el padre biológico de Vicente, un niño adicto a la comida para gatos que años más tarde se niega a estudiar en la universidad porque su sueño principal es convertirse -también- en poeta, a pesar de los consejos de Carla, su orgullosamente solitaria madre, y de León, un padre mediocre dedicado a coleccionar autitos de juguete.

Condenado a la seriedad y a la impostura, Julio, el silencioso protagonista de este libro, acaba convenciéndose de que es mejor encerrarse en su cuarto a observar el crecimiento de un bonsái que vagar por los incómodos caminos de la literatura. Es ésta, como dice el narrador, "una historia liviana que se pone pesada", un relato elíptico y vertiginoso marcado por la inquietante desaparición de una mujer.

Story
Aunque este singular e inclasificable libro de Alejandro Zambra se llama Literatura infantil, conviene advertir que incluye un magnífico cuento que gira en torno al lenguaje grosero y un relato directamente lisérgico en que un hombre intenta, en pleno viaje terapéutico de hongos, volver a aprender el dificilísimo arte de gatear. En caso de que algún niño llegara accidentalmente a estas páginas, debería leerlas en compañía de un adulto, a pesar de que aquí son precisamente los niños quienes, a su manera, protegen a los adultos del desánimo, el egocentrismo y la dictadura del tiempo cronológico.

En los doce soberbios cuentos que componen este volumen Mariana Enriquez despliega todo un repertorio de recursos del relato clásico de terror: apariciones espectrales, brujas, sesiones de espiritismo, grutas, visiones, muertos que vuelven a la vida... Pero, lejos de proponer una mera revisitación arqueológica del género, reelabora ese material con una voz propia y radicalmente moderna. Tirando del hilo de la mejor tradición, la lleva un paso más allá, con historias que indagan en lo siniestro que se agazapa en lo cotidiano.

Pero bailar El Danubio azul para Mengele salvó su vida, y a partir de entonces empezó una nueva lucha por la supervivencia. Primero en los campos de exterminio, luego en la Checoslovaquia tomada por los comunistas y, finalmente, en Estados Unidos, donde acabaría convirtiéndose en discípula de Viktor Frankl.

La historia de su fabricación, de todos los tipos que hemos ensayado a lo largo de casi 30 siglos: libros de humo, de piedra, de arcilla, de juncos, de seda, de piel, de árboles y, los últimos llegados, de plástico y luz.

The Ministry for the Future is a masterpiece of the imagination, using fictional eyewitness accounts to tell the story of how climate change will affect us all. Its setting is not a desolate, post-apocalyptic world, but a future that is almost upon us - and in which we might just overcome the extraordinary challenges we face.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.
