About this listen
Pese a que sus padres están convencidos de que Valentino se convertirá en un gran hombre, sus hermanas creen que no es más que un joven vanidoso, egoísta y frívolo, más preocupado por sus conquistas que por sus estudios de medicina. El repentino compromiso de Valentino con una mujer rica pero poco agraciada y diez años mayor acabará con los sueños de sus padres, quienes, escandalizados ante tan desafortunada elección, sospechan de la novia. Con su característica mordacidad y su portentosa agudeza psicológica, Natalia Ginzburg explora en Valentino las expectativas sociales y de género, las diferencias de clase, la riqueza y el matrimonio como cárceles que sofocan los deseos de sus personajes y convierten hasta las ilusiones más modestas en puras quimeras.

Story
Annie Ernaux se esfuerza aquí por reencontrar los diferentes rostros y la vida de su madre, muerta el 7 de abril de 1986, al término de una enfermedad que había destruido su memoria y su integridad intelectual y física. Ella, tan activa, tan abierta al mundo. Búsqueda de la existencia de una mujer, obrera, luego comerciante ansiosa por mantener su nuevo estatus y por aprender. Puesta al día, también, de la evolución y la ambivalencia de los sentimientos de una hija por su madre: amor, odio, ternura, culpabilidad, y, por último, apego visceral a la anciana disminuida.

Los emigrados es una meditación sobre la memoria y la pérdida: un relato melancólico, nada épico, sobre el desarraigo, la desesperación y la muerte. Sebald recrea las vidas de cuatro exiliados –o cinco, si se incluye su propio autorretrato indirecto– a través de lo que narran ellos mismos, de recuerdos ajenos, fotografías y objetos encontrados.

Story
En este lúcido ensayo, el erudito ensayista francés analiza la obra de Élisabeth Louise Vigee Le Brun, una de las pintoras más brillantes e ignoradas de las últimas decadas prerrevolucionarias en Francia. Retratista magistral "capaz de conjugar el parecido fiel con la idealización im- palpable", Vigee Le Brun fue la aliada a la que escogió María Antonieta para ofrecer una imagen humana y digna de ese mundus muliebris que ella representaba y que, supuestamente, corrompía el prestigio y la autoridad de los monarcas a fuerza de afeminarlos.

Story
Francia y la poesía fueron los primeros grandes amores de Stefan Zweig, que dedicó una buena parte de su obra a sacar de su «aparente oscuridad» a los genios de la creación y contagiar así sus pasiones a los lectores. A petición de la editorial berlinesa Schuster & Loeffler, el joven escritor compuso esta breve monografía sobre Paul Verlaine, su primer ensayo biográfico. Esta pequeña joya publicada en 1 9 0 5, que incluye traducciones de algunos de los poemas más emblemáticos del poeta, inauguró en la carrera de Zweig un género literario en el que desplegaría todo su talento y sensibilidad.

Story
Stefan Zweig trabajó más de veinte años en Momentos estelares de la humanidad. El libro reúne catorce momentos históricos retratados por Zweig, fundamentales desde su punto de vista para el transcurso de la historia. El asesinato de Cicerón, la expedición fallida al Polo Sur del capitán Scott y la fiebre del oro de California en 1848 son solo algunos de estos relatos que ilustran la visión del mundo que tenía Zweig, que apela a los procedimientos narrativos de sus novelas para dar vida a narraciones que siempre oscilan entre lo ficcional y lo fáctico.

Timothy and Jonah, wealthy entrepreneurs with a spoiled son, hide sins from their past—one involving a death on a cruise, the other a crime in Bali. Nathan and Samantha, the hot ex-nanny turned trophy wife, grapple with infertility and a shocking paternity secret. Bartosz and Angelika (he’s a chef, she’s a former sex worker) carry debts to the other couples they don’t even realize they owe. Over fourteen days, the couples bond—but their pasts are too deeply intertwined to stay hidden. The sly concierge, Putu, knows more than he lets on.

She’s going to get her degree and open her own business–won’t she? Then, a strange old woman shows up outside her house, and she seems to know a lot about Annie. An awful lot. Annie could tell the old woman to get lost. Yet there’s something about her Annie just can’t shake. And what she learns could change her life forever–but is it the life she envisioned?

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.

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.

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.

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.
