Ángela Carballino escribe la historia de don Manuel Bueno, párroco de su pueblecito, Valverde de Lucerna. Múltiples hechos lo muestran como “un santo vivo, de carne y hueso”, un dechado de amor a los hombres, especialmente a los más desgraciados, y entregado a “consolar a los amargados y atediados, y ayudar a todos a bien morir”.

Glen Runciter runs a lucrative business - deploying his teams of anti-psychics to corporate clients who want privacy and security from psychic spies. But when he and his top team are ambushed by a rival, he is gravely injured and placed in "half-life," a dreamlike state of suspended animation. Soon, though, the surviving members of the team begin experiencing some strange phenomena, such as Runciter's face appearing on coins and the world seeming to move backward in time.

Elegantly styled, Camus' profoundly disturbing novel of a Parisian lawyer's confessions is a searing study of modern amorality.

'Reason and imagination and all mental chatter died down... I forgot my name, my humanness, my thingness, all that could be called me or mine. Past and future dropped away... Lighter than air, clearer than glass, altogether released from myself, I was nowhere around.' Thus Douglas Harding describes his first experience of headlessness, or no self. First published in 1961, this is a classic work which conveys the experience that mystics of all times have tried to put words to.

Louis-Ferdinand Celine's revulsion and anger at what he considered the idiocy and hypocrisy of society explodes from nearly every minute of this novel. Filled with slang and obscenities and written in raw, colloquial language, Journey to the End of the Night is a literary symphony of violence, cruelty, and obscene nihilism. This book shocked most critics when it was first published in France in 1932, but quickly became a success with the public in Europe, and later in America.

This quintessential coming-of-age novel describes the early life of Stephen Dedalus. It is set in Ireland during the 19th century, which was a time of emerging Irish nationalism and conservative Catholicism. Highly autobiographical in nature, the work is also notable for its being the first one in which Joyce uses innovative “stream of consciousness” writing style. A Portrait... follows Stephen Dedalus from his babyhood into early adulthood.

Spanish Dostoyevsky

I can't rate this as a novel, it's philosophy. It's literature of the existentialist school, much similar to Dostoyevsky's Brothers Karamazov.

The essential issue of the book is that the characters are basically envious little drama-queens that invent problems in their own minds. They lack stoic-manliness because they were not exposed to Epictetus or Marcus Aurelius as children. They are basically Dostoyevsky, Camus, or Sartre characters...people without strength, virtue, character, or honor.

The narrator is good.

Unamuno is wonderful

I thought this English translation and reading of Abel Sanchez was very good. There is a clear element of existentialism in his works.
