En Nueva York a finales del siglo XIX los grandes escaparates se multiplican despertando la imaginación de los transeúntes, la publicidad comienza a sofisticarse y parece que la iluminación eléctrica y el teléfono terminarán por imponerse. En un escenario así, parece que cualquier sueño puede hacerse realidad. Y Martin Dressler está dispuesto a soñar. Su meteórica carrera empieza en la tabaquería de su padre; trabajará después como botones y recepcionista antes de decidirse, a los veintidós años, a poner en marcha su primera empresa: una cadena de restaurantes, a la que luego seguirá otra de hoteles. El éxito de sus negocios no minará su ambición, al revés, sus proyectos se irán haciendo más y más visionarios y su implicación en ellos será cada vez mayor. Sin embargo, el éxito va aislando progresivamente a Martin de su familia y de cuanto le rodea. Su trayectoria refleja muchos de los cambios que se produjeron en la ciudad de Nueva York a comienzos del siglo XX, que, en gran medida, fueron impulsados por soñadores como él. Publicada en 1996 y premiada al año siguiente con el Premio Pulitzer de ficción, Martin Dressler. Historia de un soñador americano es, seguramente, la mejor novela de Steven Millhauser, uno de los más prestigiosos escritores norteamericanos contemporáneos. «Este asombroso libro es una fábula y una quimera sobre los orígenes de nuestro siglo. Martin Dressler explora de manera maravillosa el Sueño Americano en todas sus manifestaciones: como propósito, visión, intención, pesadilla, alucinación, desilusión, muerte.»The New York Times «La novela de Millhauser examina la imaginación americana en términos de cosmología... Una fábula sobre el Manhattan victoriano tejida con la habilidad de un experto.»The New Yorker «En su encantadora novela, Millhauser utiliza hechos históricos –el Nueva York de finales del XIX- como puerta de entrada para un mundo tan fantástico y rico como cualquiera de los que había creado. Hay algo mágico en este retrato de la sombra de un hombre y una ciudad poseídas por un sueño febril.»San Francisco Chronicle

A magnificent collection from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author: stories from across three decades that showcase his indomitable imagination. Steven Millhauser's fiction has consistently, and to dazzling effect, dissolved the boundaries between reality and fantasy, waking life and dreams, the past and the future, darkness and light, love and lust. The stories gathered here unfurl in settings as disparate as nineteenth-century Vienna, a contemporary Connecticut town, the corridors of a monstrous museum, and Thomas Edison's laboratory, and they are inhabited by a wide-ranging cast of characters, including a knife thrower and teenage boys, ghosts and a cartoon cat and mouse. But all of the stories are united in their unfailing power to surprise and enchant. From the earliest to the stunning, previously unpublished novella-length title story-in which a man who is dead, but not quite gone, reaches out to two lonely women-Millhauser "makes our world turn amazing" (The New York Times Book Review). With this collection, Steven Millhauser carves out ever more deeply his wondrous place in the American literary canon. Praise for Steven Millhauser's Dangerous Laughter "There is a ferocious restlessness in [these] stories, a mingling of desire and dread...mesmerizing" - Cathleen Medwick, O, The Oprah Magazine "Tales fuelled by curiosity and wonder, from a master...dazzling" - Jeff Turrentine, Washington Post Book World "Beautiful and profound...Millhauser's work is among the most thought-provoking I've ever encountered" - David L. Ulin, Los Angeles Times Book Review "Millhauser is a marvel...Dangerous Laughter shimmers with eccentric research, sinuous explorations of the mysteries of artistic creation, and his preternatural sensitivity to the inner lives of children and adolescents...an experience that leaves [us] dazzles, enchanted" - Daniel Dyer, Cleveland Plain Dealer "Absorbing, impeccably imagined...the best [stories] linger strangely, like ghostly taps on your shoulder" - Gregory Kirschling, Entertainment Weekly "Prose wizardry...of such melodic wit and finesse that it's more akin to musicmaking than story telling" - Michael Upchurch, Seattle Times "Millhauser's lifelong loves-of cartoons, magic, board games, mechanical marvels of the 19th century and the quiet moments of daily life-shine through, and his taste for language and grasp of storytelling are flawless. Truly amazing stories." - Stewart O'Nan

Included in this short story collection is "The Sisterhood of the Night", now a major motion picture. From the bestselling author of Martin Dressler, this volume explores the magnificent obsessions of the unfettered imagination, as well as the darker, subterranean currents that fuel them. With the panache of an old-fashioned magician, Steven Millhauser conducts his readers from the dark corners beneath the sunlit world to a balloonist's tour of the heavens. He transforms department stores and amusement parks into alternate universes of infinite plentitude and menace. He unveils the secrets of a maker of automatons and a coven of teenage girls. And on every page of The Knife Thrower and Other Stories, Millhauser confirms his stature as a narrative enchanter in the tradition of Nabokov, Calvino, and Borges.

Beloved for the lens of the strange he places on small-town life, Steven Millhauser further reveals in Voices in the Night the darkest parts of our inner selves to brilliant and dazzling effect. Here are stories of wondrously imaginative hyperrealism, stories that pose unsettling what-ifs or that find barely perceivable evils within the safe boundaries of our towns, homes, and even our bodies. Here, too, are stories culled from religion and fables: from Samuel, who in the masterly "A Voice in the Night" hears the voice of God calling him in the night; to a young, pre-enlightenment Buddha; to Rapunzel and her Prince awakened only to everyday disappointment. Heightened by magic, the divine, and the uncanny, shot through with sly humour, Voices in the Night seamlessly combines the whimsy and surprise of the familiar with intoxicating fantasies that take us beyond our daily lives, all done with the hallmark sleight of hand and astonishing virtuosity of one of our greatest modern storytellers.
