Cada vez que subo las escaleras del Camp Nou y de pronto veo el fulgor del pasto iluminado, en ese momento que siempre nos recuerda a la infancia, digo lo mismo para mis adentros: hay que tener mucha suerte para que te guste mucho un deporte y te toque ser contemporáneo de su mejor versión. Tengo nostalgia del presente cada vez que juega Messi. Los relatos que componen este libro fueron escritos entre los mundiales de Sudáfrica 2010 y Brasil 2014 y los atraviesa una sensación alarmante: la felicidad es tan efímera como el festejo del delantero que grita el gol sin saber que, a sus espaldas, el juez de línea ha levantado el banderín.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3
Desde su más rolliza infancia, el gordito Casciari arruinaba las fotos. Todas las fotos. Con el tiempo las cosas cambiaron. Se había convertido en un adolescente que arruinaba, sin querer, los momentos importantes de su vida: amores juveniles, estudios, vidas ajenas y la salud de sus mayores. El clima de Mercedes, el agobio de la situación familiar y la necesidad de escapar, lo impulsaron a la búsqueda de sí mismo por el camino de la escritura, el único sitio donde todavía es posible inventarse un pasado mejor.

"Conocí a mi hemisferio derecho de pura casualidad, una tarde desesperada del año noventa y nueve. Mi vida entonces era un caos. Llevaba más de seis meses sin redactar un párrafo decente y estaba hecho un trapo; ya no sabía qué hacer con mi tristeza. Fue el bloqueo literario más duradero de mi vida." El autor lo había intentado todo: empezar un cuento por el final, empezar una novela por el medio, dictarle estructuras narrativas a una grabadora, escribir drogado, escribir sobrio... No funcionaba nada.

Antes, durante y después. Los treinta y seis relatos que componen este libro fueron escritos antes, durante y después de un infarto agudo de miocardio que el autor sufrió en Montevideo a finales de 2015. Por esta razón los textos son irregulares y no guardan más relación entre ellos que haber sido redactados al borde de la muerte.

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.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 734
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.

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.

In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

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.

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.'
