Story
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.

Cuando Eufrasia Vela empieza a trabajar como cuidadora de ancianos, no sospecha que su oficio la llevará a una encrucijada existencial. La íntima relación que mantiene con doña Carmen, el doctor Harrison y Los Siete Magníficos—entrañables personajes que se apoderan de su pensamiento y su cariño—la obliga a replantearse su papel de madre y hermana, las vicisitudes de la longevidad, las formas de la compasión y el sorpresivo valor que los cuyes, esos conejillos de Indias tan peculiares, adquieren en su presupuesto moral.

Inés sale en libertad, después de quince años presa por haber asesinado a Charo, la amante de su ex marido. Su vida ha cambiado, pero así también la sociedad: el avance del feminismo, las leyes de matrimonio igualitario y del aborto, el lenguaje inclusivo. Inés, una ama de casa tradicional y a quien la maternidad no le resultó algo feliz, entiende que debe ser práctica y adaptarse a la nueva realidad. Aunque le cueste.

Este libro es una novela, un ensayo, una autobiografía. La autora emprende en él un viaje al interior en un juego narrativo lleno de sorpresas. En La loca de la casa se mezclan literatura y vida en un cóctel afrodisíaco de biografías ajenas y autobiografía novelada. Y, así, descubrimos que el gran Goethe adulaba a los poderosos hasta extremos ridículos, que Tolstoi era un energúmeno, que Montero, de niña, fue una enana, y que, con veintitrés años, mantuvo un estrafalario y desternillante romance con un famoso actor.

El propio Thomas Mann advierte que esta novela trata sobre «la pasión como desequilibrio y degradación». Gustav Aschenbach, «arroyo de cenizas» en alemán, es un escritor maduro que goza de reconocimiento. Llega a Venecia en busca de inspiración, pero también de llenar sus días con reflexiones estéticas en un entorno idílico. En el hotel coincide con Tadzio, un joven de polaco que se encuentra de vacaciones con su familia. El muchacho se convierte en objeto de deseo y adoración; un amor ideal e imposible basado en la contemplación estética y que llevará a Aschenbach a renunciar a todo, incluso a sí mismo.

En un país cuyo nombre no será mencionado, se produce algo nunca visto desde el principio del mundo: la muerte decide suspender su trabajo letal, la gente deja de morir. La euforia colectiva se desata, pero muy pronto dará paso a la desesperación y al caos. Sobran los motivos. Si es cierto que las personas ya no mueren, eso no significa que el tiempo se haya detenido. El destino de los humanos será una vejez eterna.

Publisher's summary
La pianista es una densa e inteligente, pero amarga, inmersión en la vida de una mujer cuya forzada soledad y sordo sufrimiento es paradigma de muchas vidas de mujer.
Erika es una pianista frustrada que ejerce de profesora de piano y siempre ha vivido bajo la sombra de una madre posesiva y absorbente. Vencida por un fracaso que no es sino trasunto de una derrota mayor, la de escapar de un dominio indeseado, y presa en la telaraña de sus inhibiciones y de una perpetua vigilancia, Erika ha aprendido a ser austera y severa. Esta situación toma un curso muy diferente cuando conoce a un alumno que se enamora de ella. Entonces, a través de su frágil psicología, de su tortuosa inexperiencia en las relaciones humanas, comienzan a abrirse paso las fantasías acunadas y nunca dichas, en las que se mezclan dominio y subordinación, placer y sufrimiento.

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.

When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

Story
The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'
