About this listen
La gran novela de una autora con la voz de miles
Por la autora de Cambiar de idea, Premio Librotea y Premio Euskadi 2020.
«Parece que un suicidio en la familia constata lo que siempre se sospecha, que la locura corre en los genes, que estamos bíblicamente perdidas».
Hace seis meses que la abuela Carmen se abrió las venas en la bañera, y nadie ha sabido aún por qué. Ahora, sus cuatro nietas vuelven a la casa del pueblo en la que murió y que han heredado.
Lis se está recuperando de una crisis que sufrió allí mismo y solo quiere vender la casa y pasar página. Su hermana Erica sueña con organizar retiros espirituales y paseos botánicos. Olivia, prima de Erica y Lis y la mayor de las nietas, es cardióloga y busca en cada cajón alguna pista que ayude a explicar el final de la abuela. Por su parte, Nora, la hermana desastre, se plantea dejar que su camello utilice la casa como almacén para su mercancía.
Cuatro mujeres jóvenes y un legado común por descifrar: ¿una casa o una maldición que corre en los genes?
«Una gran narradora que además es una gran pensadora».
Javier Rodríguez Marcos, El País
Sobre Cambiar de idea:
«Cambiar de idea es la obra de una gran narradora que además es una gran pensadora. En tiempos en los que el lector siempre tiene razón, Aixa de la Cruz nos saca de nuestras casillas porque ella misma lleva tiempo fuera. Su libro es la mejor demostración de que no hace falta estar de acuerdo con la teoría para estarlo con la práctica.»
Javier Rodríguez Marcos, El País
«Un brillante ensayo feminista para el perdón de los pecados o una oración millennial que nos invita a celebrar la vida como conflicto y como cambio.»
Begoña Méndez, El Cultural
«Un libro lúcido, lleno de fuerza y rabia, doloroso en su sinceridad.»
Laura Freixas, La Vanguardia
«El diálogo metaliterario es, de por sí, formalmente fascinante.»
Adrián Véitez, Zenda
«Un recorrido personal de distintas situaciones vitales para terminar hablando de cómo el feminismo ha llegado a influir en los últimos años.»
Europa Press
«Una de las voces que más va a dar que hablar.»
Rosa Martí, Esquire
«Un ensayo memorístico que escuece como la sal en una herida mal cerrada.»
Mónica Zas Marcos, elDiario
«Funciona todo, brilla, te lleva hasta el final como un tren en marcha que no se para.»
Elizabeth Duval
«De lo mejor que he leído de feminismo en primera persona. Quizás exagero, pero yo creo que está al nivel de Teoría King Kong.»
Ernesto Castro

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.

Cuando Yuri Santacruz asistió al nombramiento como canciller de Adolf Hitler, no podía imaginar lo mucho que cambiaría su vida en Berlín. Había llegado allí unos meses atrás, después de haber huido, junto con parte de su familia, de San Petersburgo, asfixiados por una revolución que los había dejado sin nada. A Yuri también lo privó de su madre y su hermano pequeño, a quienes las autoridades rusas no permitieron la salida del país. Ya en Berlín, su sentido de la justicia lo impulsará a defender a un joven comunista agredido por las tropas de asalto de Hitler.

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.

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
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
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.

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.

Telúrica y alucinógena
Si bien es cierto que la trama puede resultar algo confusa para un lector que no ande precavido. Pero su prosa y sus imágenes son exquisitas.

Confused
The story was difficult to follow and so much back and forth between mediums and real characters which did not necessarily added anything to the development of story
