Book excerpt: One of the great short novels of the twentieth century—in an edition marking the 100th anniversary of the author's birth. An unforgettable psychological novel of obsessive love, The Tunnel was championed by Albert Camus, Thomas Mann, and Graham Greene upon its publication in 1948 and went on to become an international bestseller. At its center is an artist named Juan Pablo Castel, who recounts from his prison cell his murder of a woman named María Iribarne. Obsessed from the moment he sees her examining one of his paintings, Castel fantasizes for months about how they might meet again. When he happens upon her one day, a relationship develops that convinces him of their mutual love. But Castel's growing paranoia leads him to destroy the one thing he truly cares about.

Book Synopsis Give Me Everything You Have by : James Lasdun
Download or read book Give Me Everything You Have written by James Lasdun and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A true story of obsessive love turning to obsessive hate in the crucible of the digital age. Give Me Everything You Have chronicles author James Lasdun's strange and harrowing ordeal at the hands of a former student, a self-styled "verbal terrorist," who began trying, in her words, to "ruin him." Hate mail, online postings, and public accusations of plagiarism and sexual misconduct were her weapons of choice and, as with more conventional terrorist weapons, proved remarkably difficult to combat. James Lasdun's account, while terrifying, is told with compassion and humor, and brilliantly succeeds in turning a highly personal story into a profound meditation on subjects as varied as madness, race, Middle East politics, and the meaning of honor and reputation in the Internet age.

Book Synopsis Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter by : Mario Vargas Llosa
Download or read book Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter written by Mario Vargas Llosa and published by Picador. This book was released on 2011-03-04 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mario Vargas Llosa's brilliant, multilayered novel is set in the Lima, Peru, of the author's youth, where a young student named Marito is toiling away in the news department of a local radio station. His young life is disrupted by two arrivals. The first is his aunt Julia, recently divorced and thirteen years older, with whom he begins a secret affair. The second is a manic radio scriptwriter named Pedro Camacho, whose racy, vituperative soap operas are holding the city's listeners in thrall. Pedro chooses young Marito to be his confidant as he slowly goes insane. Interweaving the story of Marito's life with the ever-more-fevered tales of Pedro Camacho, Vargas Llosa's novel is hilarious, mischievous, and masterful, a classic named one of the best books of the year by the New York Times Book Review.

Download or read book One Day of Life written by Manlio Argueta and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1991-01-09 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrated for the authenticity of its vernacular style and the incandescence of its lyricism, One Day of Life depicts a typical day in the life of a peasant family caught up in the terror and corruption of civil war in El Salvador. 5:30 A.M. in Chalate, a small rural town: Lupe, the grandmother of the Guardado family and the central figure of the novel, is up and about doing her chores. By 5:00 P.M. the plot of the novel has been resolved, with the Civil Guard's search for and interrogation of Lupe's young granddaughter, Adolfina. Told entirely from the perspective of the resilient women of the Guardado family, One Day of Life is not only a disturbing and inspiring evocation of the harsh realities of peasant life in El Salvador after fifty years of military exploitation; it is also a mercilessly accurate dramatization of the relationship of the peasants to both the state and the church. Translated from the Spanish by Bill Brow

Book excerpt: Este libro historico puede tener numerosos errores tipograficos y texto faltante. Los compradores pueden descargar una copia gratuita escaneada del libro original (sin errores tipograficos) desde la editorial. No indexado. No se muestra. 1911 edition. Extracto: ...de valor espiritual ha pasado por sus filas. En un pensador tan singular como Berdiaeff se trasunta su juventud marxista. Es que el marxismo significo un poderoso momento en la historia y todas las grotescas ridiculeces a que lo exponen sus partidarios y usufructuarios no deben oscurecer esa verdad. Marx ha sido un genio, a pesar de lo que afirmen los stalinistas. Pero no ha habido genio que no se haya equivocado y en cierto modo el poder de los genios se mide por el alcance de sus equivocaciones. Schopenhauer dijo de Aristoteles que habia constituido una gran calamidad historica. Pero lo fue precisamente a causa de su genio, no a pesar de el. Vastos espacios de tiempo fueron dominados por sus aciertos, pero tambien oscurecidos por sus errores y, muy especialmente, por la necedad de sus seguidores. Nos dio la logica y buena parte de la filosofia; pero tambien, dos mil anos despues de su muerte, nos infirio aquellos profesores que se negaban a mirar los satelites de Jupiter por el anteojo de Galileo, porque el maestro no los mencionaba en ninguna parte. La parte mas valiosa de la doctrina de Marx es, sin duda, su interpretacion de la historia y de la sociedad. Hasta el prevalecia la tendencia a estudiar una ideologia, una filosofia, una escuela artistica, intrinsecamente, sin relacion con los problemas sociales de su tiempo y, sobre todo, con un absoluto desden por los factores mas bajos; habria parecido una muestra de mal gusto establecer algun vinculo entre la pintura renacentista y el surgimiento de la burguesia. De una vez para todas, Marx...

Download or read book Fat City written by Leonard Gardner and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2015-09-08 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fat City is a vivid novel of allegiance and defeat, of the potent promise of the good life and the desperation and drink that waylay those whom it eludes. Stockton, California is the setting: the Lido Gym, the Hotel Coma, Main Street lunchrooms and dingy bars, days like long twilights in houses obscured by untrimmed shrubs and black walnut trees. When two men meet in the ring -- the retired boxer Billy Tully and the newcomer Ernie Munger - their brief bout sets into motion their hidden fates, initiating young Ernie into the company of men and luring Tully back into training. In a dispassionate and composed voice, Gardner narrates their swings of fortune, and the plodding optimism of their manager Ruben Luna, as he watches the most promising boys one by one succumb to some undefined weakness; still, "There was always someone who wanted to fight."
Book Synopsis Slow Days, Fast Company by : Eve Babitz
Download or read book Slow Days, Fast Company written by Eve Babitz and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one burned hotter than Eve Babitz. Possessing skin that radiated “its own kind of moral laws,” spectacular teeth, and a figure that was the stuff of legend, she seduced seemingly everyone who was anyone in Los Angeles for a long stretch of the 1960s and ’70s. One man proved elusive, however, and so Babitz did what she did best, she wrote him a book. Slow Days, Fast Company is a full-fledged and full-bodied evocation of a bygone Southern California that far exceeds its mash-note premise. In ten sun-baked, Santa Ana wind–swept sketches, Babitz re-creates a Los Angeles of movie stars distraught over their success, socialites on three-day drug binges holed up in the Chateau Marmont, soap-opera actors worried that tomorrow’s script will kill them off, Italian femmes fatales even more fatal than Babitz. And she even leaves LA now and then, spending an afternoon at the house of flawless Orange County suburbanites, a day among the grape pickers of the Central Valley, a weekend in Palm Springs where her dreams of romance fizzle and her only solace is Virginia Woolf. In the end it doesn’t matter if Babitz ever gets the guy—she seduces us.

Book Synopsis Anarchism For Beginners by : Marcos Mayer
Download or read book Anarchism For Beginners written by Marcos Mayer and published by Red Wheel/Weiser. This book was released on 2008-12-16 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the second half of the Twentieth Century, the ideas of leading anarchist thinkers such as Proudhon, Bakunin, and Kropotkin seemed destined to fade into history. But today they are finding new energy and power. Libertarian flags wave above the crowds at anti-globalization and anti-corporation rallies. Anarchist axioms appear in contemporary debates on neoliberalism and ecology. Websites passing on anarchism’s radical principles proliferate in cyberspace. Popular intellectuals like Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Osvaldo Bayer, Noam Chomsky and Murray Boochkin acknowledge in their work the debt they owe to the towering nonconformist figures who preceded them. The anarchists’ fight against power, oppression and the State, which reached its pinnacle with the farmers’ collectives of pre-Franco Spain, has influenced societies around the world. Vanguard artistic movements high and low, from dada to punk, were inspired by anarchism. In Anarchism For Beginners, Marcos Mayer aided by illustrations from the incomparable Sanyú, takes readers on a journey through the anarchist movement, explaining its principles and documenting its influence, inspiring figures and indefatigable fighting spirit.
