Vladimir Nabokov
Acerca de esta escucha
Pnin está considerada como "la más deliciosa de las novelas de Nabokov" (G. M. Hyde), "la más inmediatamente atractiva" (Laurie Clancy) y, posiblemente, la más divertida de toda su obra, tan rebosante de humor. Su protagonista es el profesor Pnin, un ruso de la emigración que se gana la vida dando clases a media docena escasa de alumnos desganados que acuden a su aula como quien va a ver una película de Buster Keaton. Pero los verdaderos enemigos del inefable e infeliz Pnin son los extraños artilugios de la modernidad: coches, electrodomésticos y demás máquinas que, al menos a él, no le facilitan precisamente la vida. Y también los mezquinos intereses y la mediocridad de sus colegas, una pandilla de ambiciosos profesorzuelos que ponen a prueba su infinita paciencia. O los psiquiatras entre los que se mueve la que fue su esposa, una mujer que nunca le amó pero de la que él sigue imperturbable y conmovedoramente enamorado. De modo que, al final, el ridiculizado Pnin acaba emergiendo como una figura casi heroica, un ser civilizado en medio de la incivilización industrial, el único que todavía conserva un resto de dignidad humana.
Nabokov satiriza aquí un mundo que a él, como emigrado, le tocó sufrir, y pocas veces se le nota tan desenvuelto, tan feliz en el acto mismo de escribir, tan capaz de transmitir el placer que, a pesar de los pesares, le daba el simple hecho de estar vivo.

Historia
One of the best-loved of Nabokov's novels, Pnin features his funniest and most heart-rending character. Professor Timofey Pnin is a haplessly disoriented Russian emigre precariously employed on an American college campus in the 1950s. Pnin struggles to maintain his dignity through a series of comic and sad misunderstandings, all the while falling victim both to subtle academic conspiracies and to the manipulations of a deliberately unreliable narrator.

Historia
Speak, Memory, first published in 1951 as Conclusive Evidence and then assiduously revised in 1966, is an elegant and rich evocation of Nabokov’s life and times, even as it offers incisive insights into his major works, including Lolita, Pnin, Despair, The Gift, The Real Life of Sebastian Knight, and The Luhzin Defense.

Historia
This new translation of Clarice Lispector's sensational first book tells the story of a middle class woman's life from childhood through an unhappy marriage and its dissolution to transcendence. Near to the Wild Heart, published in Rio de Janeiro in 1943, introduced Brazil to what one writer called "Hurricane Clarice": a 23-year-old girl who wrote her first book in a tiny rented room and then baptized it with a title taken from Joyce.

Historia
For some fifty years, in intriguing and ingenious fictions that reimagined the very form of the short story—from his 1935 debut with A Universal History of Iniquity through his immensely influential collections Ficciones and The Aleph, the enigmatic prose poems of The Maker, up to his final work in the 1980s, Shakespeare’s Memory—Jorge Luis Borges returned again and again to his celebrated themes: dreams, duels, labyrinths, mirrors, infinite libraries, the manipulations of chance, gauchos, knife fighters, tigers, and the elusive nature of identity itself.
