About this listen
Este libro es un clásico de la literatura mundial y posee el mérito histórico de haber iniciado la novela sobre la Revolución Mexicana de 1910; la obra muestra desde dentro las fuerzas de lo que entonces se llamó "la bola": los desposeídos levantados para la revuelta. La novela arranca con el grupo armado de Juchipila, un poblado al sur de Zacatecas, y cierra, como epílogo de la narración y un símil de la suerte misma de la Revolución, cuando la ciudad es tomada por las tropas carrancistas.

Story
"Desconcertante, lista a inquietar a la crítica, está ya en los escaparates la primera novela de Juan Rulfo, Pedro Páramo, que transcurre en una serie de transposiciones oníricas, ahondando más allá de la muerte de sus personajes, que uno no sabe en qué momento son sueño, vida, fábula, verdad, pero a los que se les oye la voz al través de la perspicacia despiadada y certera de tan sin duda extraordinario escritor". Con estas palabras iniciaba Edmundo Valdés la primera reseña de Pedro Páramo, aparecida el 30 de marzo de 1955 y conservada por Juan Rulfo entre sus papeles.

Story
Los De Abajo means "those from under". More specifically it means the peasantry, or the under-dogs. It's the story of Demetrio Macias, a simple, peace-loving Mexican Indian forced by tyranny to join Villa's army. His unceasing courage in battle after battle earns him promotions to the status of General. But, as the war wears on, he becomes disillusioned as his rebels' "cause" suffers demoralizing defeats. In addition, he finds evidence of corruption appearing among his superiors.

García Márquez retrata con pulso magistral la figura de Simón Bolívar, que transmutó el destino de América. Aclamado por el pueblo como Libertador, blanco de numerosas conjuras políticas y militares, héroe romántico y hasta libertino para sus detractores y sus partidarios, idealista íntegro y abandonado que contempla las ruinas de su sueño de unidad de los pueblos americanos, tras la independencia del dominio español Simón Bolívar emprende - enfermo, con un menguado séquito - el que será su viaje final. Parte desde Bogotá para seguir el curso del río Magdalena.

México insurgente representa el preludio de su labor como corresponsal de guerra y sus posteriores obras sobre los conflictos bélicos. Es un relato en primera persona, un testimonio de carácter épico de sus vivencias como acompañante de las tropas villistas y carrancistas en sus victorias y desventuras durante la Revolución mexicana, desde que en el otoño de 1913 fuera enviado a la frontera sur con la finalidad de atestiguar la segunda oleada revolucionaria tras el derrocamiento del gobierno de Francisco I. Madero por parte de los huertistas.

La región más transparente fue la primera novela de Fuentes, la que le abrió todas las puertas posibles. Inventario de la sociedad mexicana, es también una suerte de versión vanguardista de la comedia humana, en la que, a través de un curioso mapa de linajes, se representan mundos y submundos entrelazados. La ciudad de México emerge en su moderna complejidad, y la escritura nos proporciona una cartografía de la red social que este mundo teje.

Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family."

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.
