About this listen
Muy pocas veces alguien se atrevió a recomendar tan fervientemente una novela. "Merece vender más ejemplares que la Biblia", afirmó Rebel Inc., una insolente revista literaria escocesa. De inmediato celebrada por los críticos más estrictos pero leída también por aquellos que raramente se acercan a los libros, "Trainspotting" se convirtió en uno de los acontecimientos literarios y también extraliterarios de la última década.
Fue rápidamente adaptada al teatro y luego llevada a la pantalla por Danny Boyle, uno de los jóvenes prodigio del cine inglés. Sus protagonistas son un grupo de jóvenes desesperadamente realistas, ni se les ocurre pensar en el futuro: saben que nada o casi nada va a cambiar, habitantes del otro Edimburgo, el que no aparece en los famosos festivales, capital europea del sida y paraíso de la desocupación, la miseria y la prostitución, embarcados en una peripecia vital cuyo combustible es la droga, "el elixir que les da la vida, y se la quita".
Welsh escribe en el áspero, colorido, vigoroso lenguaje de las calles. Y entre pico y pico, entre borracheras y fútbol, sexo y rock and roll, la negra picaresca, la épica astrosa de los que nacieron en el lado duro de la vida, de los que no tienen otra salida que escapar, o amortiguar el dolor de existir con lo primero que caiga en sus manos.

Story
Una versión inusitada de la tragedia clásica pasada por el tamiz de una sensibilidad moderna y salpicada de referencias culturales contemporáneas, sensualidad y un fino sentido del humor. Murakami en estado puro. Kafka Tamura se va de casa el día en que cumple quince años. Los motivos, si es que los hay, son las malas relaciones con su padre –un famoso escultor convencido de que su hijo repetirá el aciago sino del Edipo de la tragedia clásica– y la sensación de vacío producida por la ausencia de su madre y su hermana, que se marcharon también cuando él era muy pequeño.

"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.

Sentado en el balcón del sanatorio y envuelto en una manta, Hans reflexiona acerca de la vida, la muerte y el amor. El resultado es una de las grandes obras maestras de la literatura universal.

La primera edicion de "Lolita" apareció en París en 1955, publicada por Olympia Press, una editorial con acreditada gama de pornográfica. La novela fue prohibida en Francia y en Inglaterra, y hasta tres años más tarde no pudo publicarse en Estados Unidos. Aunque enseguida fue muy alabada por escritores como Lionel Trilling y Graham Greene, los adjetivos de "escandalosa", "inmoral", "decadente" y "ultrajante" acompañaron largo tiempo a "Lolita", actualmente ya considerada como una obra maestra indiscutible de la literatura universal.

La primera regla del club de la lucha es no hablar del club de la lucha. Cada fin de semana, un puñado de jóvenes oficinistas se quita los zapatos y las camisas y pelean entre sí hasta la extenuación. Los lunes vuelven a sus despachos con los ojos amoratados y un embriagador sentimiento de omnipotencia. Pero estas reuniones son solo el comienzo del plan con el que Tyler Durden, proyeccionista, camarero y oscuro genio anárquico, aspira a vengarse de una sociedad paralizada por el consumismo exacerbado.

Critic reviews
La novela fundamental de un escritor fundamental. Irvine Welsh, un maestro del lenguaje popular, con un estilo de boxeador sin guantes, ataca con ferocidad el cuerpo de nuestra sociedad. Tristísima, pero también de un ingenio perverso, nos conduce en una gira infernal por los guetos psíquicos donde se refugian los drogotas, los borrachos, los desesperados y los perdedores… Una novela terrible, pero al mismo tiempo arrebatadora (Jeff Torrington). (Jeff Torrington)
El Celine escocés de los noventa (The Guardian).
Una novela que es el equivalente literario de una bomba de hidrógeno (Martin Crawford, The Big Spoon). (Martin Crawford)

The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.
