About this listen
El mal, el misterio, el amor, el mar, el viaje, las aventuras...todos los grandes temas de Robert Louis Stevenson se reúnen en esta preciosa edición de sus Cuentos completos de la colección Grandes Clásicos de Literatura Random House.
"Hay muchas razones por las que no debería contarles mi historia. Tal vez por eso mismo vaya a hacerlo."
Se reúnen en este volumen, por primera vez en castellano, todos los relatos del gran Stevenson, un escritor que ha encantado a sucesivas generaciones de lectores desde finales del siglo XIX hasta nuestros días. Estos cuentos conforman uno de los universos literarios más ricos y mágicos de la literatura universal. Aquí nos encontramos con historias tan populares como El extraño caso del doctor Jekyll y Mr. Hyde, además de otras obras maestras igualmente inolvidables.
Ya sean historias fantásticas, románticas o de ambiente marino, los cuentos de Stevenson constituyen una lectura insustituible, un placer en esta edición renovada, gracias sobre todo a la espléndida traducción de Miguel Temprano García.
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Story
El portentoso talento de Maupassant, discípulo literario de Flaubert y miembro relevante del grupo de jóvenes escritores naturalistas que se formó alrededor de Zola, encontró su forma ideal en el cuento, género que consolidó y renovó, y en el que no tiene rival. Realista, romántico, fantasmagórico, terrorífico, fantástico o poético, Maupassant transitó en sus cuentos por todos los caminos de la imaginación.

Story
Crimen y castigo es una de las novelas psicológicas de Dostoievski. Su argumento gira en torno a un joven estudiante que no encuentra otra solución para aliviar su pobreza que matar y robar a una vieja usurera. La novela está estructurada sobre un tema ético: el fin no justifica los medios. Se asiste así a un complicado proceso mental durante el cual el estudiante elabora meticulosamente su crimen, sin pensar en las consecuencias directas y materiales que le pueda reportar. Únicamente al final y a través del amor, le llegará el arrepentimiento redentor.

En 1571, tras sufrir un accidente montando a caballo, Michel de Montaigne abandona su posición como magistrado de Burdeos para retirarse a su castillo y empezar a escribir. Ese es el inicio, casi novelesco, de una de las obras más importantes de la cultura occidental. «No enseño ni adoctrino, lo que hago es relatar», afirma Montaigne. Y entretanto dialoga con los pensadores clásicos sobre todo tipo de cuestiones relativas a la condición humana.

Story
La historia de Anna Karénina, junto a la de Madame Bovary, es la del adulterio más célebre de la literatura. El enamoramiento de la protagonista, casada con el alto funcionario Karénin, por el atractivo militar Vronski y el estrepitoso romance que con él vive son el eje de una novela que es mucho más que la pulida tragedia de una caída en desgracia: es un esmerado y delicado retrato de todo un tiempo y un lugar, la vivisección de una sociedad en la que la felicidad de algunos convive con la desdicha de otros.

Oskar Matzerath, uno de los personajes literarios más entrañables de nuestro tiempo, es un niño que se resiste a crecer porque la sociedad pequeñoburguesa del nazismo no le gusta. También es un malévolo enano que destroza cristales; un ser vulnerable, enamorado siempre de alguna mujer a la que idealiza; un superdotado obsesionado por el sexo; un ser de pestañas negras y bellas manos y un repulsivo jorobado; un asesino por encima de cualquier moralidad que no vacila en eliminar a quien lo molesta pero consigue crear con su tambor una música arrebatadora.

Story
Además de novelista, Philip K. Dick fue un prolífico autor de cuentos, muchos de los cuales han sido llevados al cine en los últimos tiempos. Él mismo reunió su producción breve en cinco volúmenes que recuperamos en una edición revisada. Esta primera entrega recoge 25 relatos escritos entre 1951 y 1952, auténticas joyas literarias que destilan la magia propia de Dick y donde quedan patentes sus constantes obsesiones: la muerte, la alienación, la locura, la religión y la represión, y la naturaleza esquiva de la realidad.

En Rayuela (1963), Julio Cortázar supo condensar sus obsesiones estéticas, literarias y vitales a partir de un mosaico diverso, profundo, inagotable que, a su vez, refleja de forma maravillosa lo más esencial de su época. El amor turbulento de Oliveira y La Maga, los amigos del Club de la Serpiente, las impredecibles caminatas por París -la ciudad que promete el cielo pero puede conducir al infierno-, encuentran su contracara en la aventura protagonizada por Oliveira, Talita y Traveler en Buenos Aires.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Story
My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.
