Estos cuentos confirman a la autora canadiense como una incisiva cronista de nuestros impulsos más oscuros. Consagrada gracias a la fabulosa difusión de sus novelas El cuento de la criada y Alias Grace, ambas convertidas en series de éxito internacional, Margaret Atwood despliega inteligencia y humor en abundancia en estos nueve cuentos sobre las facetas más absurdas y deliciosamente malvadas del ser humano. La irrupción de vampiros, de criaturas poseídas y de espíritus, que conviven con personajes y situaciones entrañables de la vida cotidiana, muda los relatos en originalísimas variantes sobre la inagotable materia de la enfermedad, la vejez y la muerte, a la vez que suponen una tenaz defensa de valores como el derecho a la diferencia y la libertad individual, y una aguerrida vindicación de las mujeres en un entorno hostil. Así, una escritora de literatura fantástica que ha enviudado hace poco sobrevive a una tormentosa noche de invierno guiada por la voz de su difunto marido; una anciana aquejada por el síndrome de Charles Bonnet asume la presencia de enanitos imaginarios mientras una turba disfrazada con caretas se congrega ante la residencia de la tercera edad donde vive para asaltar el recinto y prenderle fuego; o una sedimentación fosilizada con mil novecientos millones de años de antigüedad venga un delito cometido tiempo atrás. La mirada cáustica, lúcida y de una gran humanidad de Atwood es el componente sustancial de una prosa implacable, un faro que no deja de iluminarnos entre tanta incertidumbre y confusión. Reseñas: «Es fácil apreciar la espectacular diversidad de la obra de Margaret Atwood [...] en toda su fuerza, elegancia y variedad. Cuando me paro a pensarlo, y lo sumo a sus talentos literarios y sus logros, se me corta la respiración.» -Alice Munro «Atwood es una poeta. Muy rara es la frase de su ágil prosa, áspera a la par que voraz, que no cumple con creces su función.» -John Updike «Una de las plumas en lengua inglesa más importantes de nuestros días.» -Germaine Greer «Eclécticos, divertidos, vibrantes, aterradores, bellos, una auténtica delicia.» -The Boston Globe «Potentes, ingeniosos y mordaces.» -The New York Times Book Review DESCRIPTION IN ENGLISH From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale In this extraordinary collection, Margaret Atwood gives us nine unforgettable tales that reveal the grotesque, delightfully wicked facets of humanity. “Alphinland,” the first of three loosely linked tales, introduces us to a fantasy writer who is guided through a stormy winter evening by the voice of her late husband. In “Lusus Naturae,” a young woman, monstrously transformed by a genetic defect, is mistaken for a vampire. And in the title story, a woman who has killed four husbands discovers an opportunity to exact vengeance on the first man who ever wronged her. By turns thrilling, funny, and thought-provoking, Stone Mattress affirms Atwood as our greatest creator of worlds—and as an incisive chronicler of our darkest impulses.

BY THE AUTHOR OF THE HANDMAID'S TALE, THE TESTAMENTS AND ALIAS GRACE 'Dark and witty tales from the gleefully inventive Margaret Atwood. Witty verve, imaginative inventiveness and verbal sizzle vivify every page' Sunday Times A recently widowed fantasy writer is guided through a stormy winter evening by the voice of her late husband. An elderly lady with Charles Bonnet syndrome comes to terms with the little people she keeps seeing, while a newly formed populist group gathers to burn down her retirement residence. A woman born with a genetic abnormality is mistaken for a vampire, and a crime committed long ago is revenged in the Arctic via a 1.9 billion-year-old stromatolite. 'A collection of nine acerbic, mischievous, gulpable short stories' Harper's Bazaar 'Atwood's prose is so sharp and sly that the effect is bracing rather than bleak' Guardian '[Look at these tales] as eight icily refreshing arsenic Popsicles followed by a baked Alaska laced with anthrax, all served with impeccable style and aplomb. Enjoy!' Ursula K. Le Guin, Financial Times 'Atwood has characters here close to death, dead already, unwittingly doomed or - in one memorable case - freeze-dried; but her own curiosity, enthusiasm and sheer storytelling panache remain alive and kicking' Independent

A Vintage Shorts “Short Story Month” Selection The author of such towering novels as The Handmaid’s Tale, The Blind Assassin, and Oryx and Crake, Margaret Atwood proves her imaginative prowess dazzles just as vividly in her short fiction. “Stone Mattress,” from her collection of the same name is witty, grotesque, and utterly hilarious—an exemplar of Atwood’s tremendous capacity for capturing our darkest impulses on the page. Verna, aging widow, boards a cruise ship bound for the Arctic in search of her next husband. The last four had suffered regrettable tragedies and left Verna wickedly wealthy in their wake. But, instead of finding another wealthy suitor, Verna finds unwitting Bob, the first man to have ever wronged her. Single, reasonably near his grave, ordinary, and attracted to her like all the others—Bob is all-too-easy prey for Verna’s merciless revenge. An ebook short.

Siamese fighting fish, cockroaches, cats, a snake, and a strange fungus all serve here as mirrors that reflect the unconfessable aspects of human nature buried within us. The traits and fates of these animals illuminate such deeply natural, human experiences as the cruelty born of cohabitation, the desire to reproduce and the impulse not to, and the inexplicable connection that can bind, eerily, two beings together. Each Nettel tale creates, with tightly wound narrative tension, a space wherein her characters feel excruciatingly human, exploring how the wounds we incur in life manifest themselves within us, clandestinely, irrevocably, both unseen and overtly. In a precise writing style that is both subtle and spellbinding, Nettel renders the ordinary unsettling, and the grotesque exquisite. Natural Histories is the winner of the 3rd Ribera del Duero International Award for Short Narratives, an important Spanish literature prize.

Lecturas a través del espejo es un libro que recupera la mirada de Victoria Mora sobre la obra de algunos autores que considera insoslayables para cualquiera que ame la literatura. En estos ensayos breves, esa mirada no es ajena a su propio recorrido como lectora, mirada que incluye también al psicoanálisis. La autora entiende a la literatura y al psicoanálisis como dos discursos que nos habilitan caminos más profundos, e interesantes, para ver el mundo que nos rodea y a nosotros mismos. Cuando, además, estos caminos se recorren juntos la experiencia de lectura se vuelve otra. Escritores clásicos y contemporáneos conviven en estas páginas que son una invitación a cruzar la línea a ese otro lado del espejo que nos ofrece la literatura, para volver de ese viaje sintiéndonos distintos.

It’s an honest-to-jeepers mystery! Agent Judy Drewdy sets out to solve the case of the missing puppy when a canine-cop-in-training vanishes into thin air. Judy Moody is in a mood. A sleuthing, Nancy Drew kind of mood. So what’s a WBMS (world’s best mystery solver) to do? Go find a mystery, that’s what! And she doesn’t have to snoop for long: when Mr. Chips, a beloved crime-dog-in-training, goes missing, Judy Drewdy and her chums, agents Dills Pickle (Frank), Spuds Houdini (Rocky), and James Madagascar (Stink) find themselves smack-dab in the middle of a real-life, scare-your-pants-off whodunit. Was Mr. Chips stolen by dirty dognappers? And why are chocolate chip cookies disappearing all over town? Watch out for red herrings—along with plenty of clever references to classic Nancy Drew mysteries—as Eagle Eye Moody and company are hot on the case! With a bonus story featuring the winner of the Judy Moody Ultimate Fan Contest!

(abridged and revised) This reference grammar offers intermediate and advanced students a reason ably comprehensive guide to the morphology and syntax of educated speech and plain prose in Spain and Latin America at the end of the twentieth century. Spanish is the main, usually the sole official language of twenty-one countries,} and it is set fair to overtake English by the year 2000 in numbers 2 of native speakers. This vast geographical and political diversity ensures that Spanish is a good deal less unified than French, German or even English, the latter more or less internationally standardized according to either American or British norms. Until the 1960s, the criteria of internationally correct Spanish were dictated by the Real Academia Espanola, but the prestige of this institution has now sunk so low that its most solemn decrees are hardly taken seriously - witness the fate of the spelling reforms listed in the Nuevas normas de prosodia y ortograjia, which were supposed to come into force in all Spanish-speaking countries in 1959 and, nearly forty years later, are still selectively ignored by publishers and literate persons everywhere. The fact is that in Spanish 'correctness' is nowadays decided, as it is in all living languages, by the consensus of native speakers; but consensus about linguistic usage is obviously difficult to achieve between more than twenty independent, widely scattered and sometimes mutually hostile countries. Peninsular Spanish is itself in flux.
