Publisher's summary
Éramos tres los que compartimos habitación en la Universidad de Southampton. Así el director consideraba que tres no permitirían la confabulación de dos si siempre el tercero crea la discordia y él se enteraría de los planes de los otros dos. Y luego de esos dos surgiría el tercero en discordia. Nunca en nuestro caso y fuimos el único aposento escolar donde no apareció la traición.
Pasó el tiempo y uno de mis compañeros cumplió su sueño que siempre nos compartió: tener su propio avión, pilotado por él mismo. Un día las fauces de ventarrones lo tragaron para jamás devolverlo. El otro de mis compañeros nos juró adueñarse del mar y cuando por fin tuvo su propio barco, tras varias desgracias en su vida, decidió perderse en el inmenso océano para nunca más regresar. Tomaban a broma que yo solamente aspirara viajar en tren. “Algún día desaparecerán”, así me decían.
No han fenecido pero sí están en agonía los trenes que yo había idealizado. He viajado en algunos cuando he podido y ya el tiempo y la modernidad los ha rebasado y también han desaparecido mis amigos, pero yo sigo viajando con ellos en trenes y lo haré por siempre. Por siempre y mientras tenga un poemario, único en su género, como el que acunamos en nuestras manos usted y yo.
Los trenes se han convertido en uno de esos parajes de la humanidad más sensibles, al representar la unión del mundo que, junto con los barcos de vapor, lo conectaron como si por primera vez individuos se conocieran para ya nunca olvidarse. Pero la nostalgia y el abandono han perseguido incansablemente su desaparición para dar paso a nuevas tecnologías. Se han convertido en el deshuesadero de nuestros más íntimos sentimientos de abandono y evocación. El libro en sus manos recupera a un proteico nivel esa rememoración que siempre nos hará pasajeros eternos del viaje sin fin, con su himno de humo y distantes sonidos.
Los Rieles de la Somnolencia, versos que son la vía al recuerdo y al reencuentro de las grandes significaciones de la vida, nos llevan a los parajes donde viaja el sentimiento en compañía de las palabras que lo sensibilizan.
Los versos de Gerardo Brauer se han caracterizado por la más significativa metafísica magnificada por soberbias construcciones metafóricas: son Los Rieles de la Somnolencia, rumbo al viaje nocturno que hacemos todos los días. Por eso tiene la capacidad de darle forma a toda materia poética y revelarnos su esencia oculta. Por eso sus imágenes se materializan en cada sensación nuestra; verbalizan los misterios del mundo. Porque si un simple objeto se magnifica en versos de insigne poeta, podemos imaginar el vuelo de los descomunales armatostes oxidados y sus rieles tupidos por la vegetación.
Me siento como el tranviario, evocado en versos del presente libro, checando el ticket de todos aquellos que han decidido viajar en el exclusivo vagón de los sin nombre ni rumbo. ¿A dónde es que han escogido viajar? Tampoco importa. Sólo desean estar todos ellos juntos y a la vez con la necesaria soledad que inspira incierto viaje. Para llegar a esos insondables parajes de las grandes significaciones de la vida, es necesario que un poeta, como el autor del presente libro, haya redirigido los durmientes y rieles hacia ese profundo estado del alma: el ensueño. Y la vereda es a través de la transición al sueño: la somnolencia.
A partir de los versos leídos, ya el destino no es llegar, sino ver todo el paisaje y si acaso despertamos de lo que fuera un sueño: lo visto nos habrá enseñado a verdaderamente ver. Gracias al presente poemario ya nunca un tren estará en el abandono del cementerio de los recuerdos: viajaremos en el que elijamos, y rebozará de energía, y restallaremos de la vitalidad que sólo la poesía es capaz de detonar.
Y tras la lectura de este viaje poético, confirmará que el medio de viaje juega un papel determinante y más si es un tren abandonado justo a la puerta de su habitación. No le niegue la oportunidad de volver a la euforia de sus incandescentes carbones.

Story
It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

Story
This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.
