Juan José Millás
About this listen
Vuelve el ingenio de Millás con el diario divertido y surrealista de un neurótico brillante.
En La vida a ratos el lector es tan protagonista como el narrador, porque descubre en secreto un relato que, en la ficción, no ha sido creado para ser conocido por nadie más que aquel que lo escribe.
Es el diario de más de tres años de vida de un personaje -curiosamente también llamado Juan José Millás-, que se muestra tan libre, tan neurótico, y divertido, e irónico e hipocondriaco como solo nos mostramos cuando nadie nos ve. Las visitas a la psicoanalista, el taller de escritura, los paseos por una ciudad que no deja de colocarle ante situaciones sorpresivas, la familia, los amigos... Todo es normal, todo parece anodino hasta que, al volver una esquina de la realidad, aparece lo extraordinario, lo surrealista. Y nos deslumbra.
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

El día en que Lucía pierde su empleo como programadora informática es también el día en que su vida va a dar un giro definitivo, tal vez por una sucesión de casualidades o tal vez porque ese era el destino que le estaba esperando desde su décimo cumpleaños. Como si de un algoritmo se tratara, Lucía establece los siguientes principios sobre los que basará su existencia futura: va a dedicarse a ser taxista; recorrerá las calles de Madrid - o tal vez Pekín - al volante de su taxi mientras espera pacientemente la ocasión de llevar en él a su vecino desaparecido.

Marie-Laure vive con su padre en París, cerca del Museo de Historia Natural, donde él trabaja como responsable de sus mil cerraduras. Cuando, siendo muy niña, Marie-Laure se queda ciega, su padre le construye una perfecta miniatura de su barrio para que pueda memorizarla gracias al tacto y encontrar el camino a casa. A sus doce años, los nazis ocupan París y padre e hija tienen que huir a la ciudad amurallada de Saint-Malo. Con ellos se llevan la que podría ser la más preciada y peligrosa joya del museo.

Junio de 1960. Un temporal mantiene aisladas en la idílica isla de Utakos, frente a Corfú, a nueve personas alojadas en el pequeño hotel local. Nada hace presagiar lo que está a punto de ocurrir: Edith Mander, una discreta turista inglesa, aparece muerta en el pabellón de la playa. Lo que parece un suicidio revela indicios imperceptibles para cualquiera salvo para Hopalong Basil, un actor en decadencia que en otro tiempo encarnó en la pantalla al más célebre detective de todos los tiempos.

«Pero ¿quién demonios es esa mujer?» era la pregunta más escuchada en los despachos de la CIA. ¿Quién movía los hilos del espionaje mundial, frustraba operaciones de inteligencia, retorcía voluntades, mudaba de piel, encabezaba misiones imposibles, descubría secretos de Estado y dibujaba en el tablero de la Guerra Fría la amenaza de una Tercera Guerra Mundial? Esa misteriosa mujer era la española África de las Heras, quien se convirtió en la espía soviética más importante del siglo xx.

Al mismo tiempo Clara Tannenberg, una joven arqueóloga nieta de un poderoso hombre de oscuro pasado, anuncia en el transcurso de un congreso el descubrimiento de unas tablillas que, de ser auténticas, serían la prueba científica de la existencia del patriarca Abraham: se trata de la obra de un escriba que recogió el relato del profeta sobre la creación del mundo, la confusión de las lenguas en Babel y el Diluvio universal. Una auténtica Biblia de Barro.

Las anotaciones autobiográficas, las reflexiones y sentencias que Marco Aurelio fue escribiendo para sí mismo, durante sus últimos años de vida, componen un texto singular en la literatura antigua. Ningún otro gran personaje del mundo antiguo nos ha legado un testimonio personal tan sincero, tan hondo y tan patéticamente filosófico. Marco Aurelio tuvo que vestir la púrpura y la coraza del guerrero al frente de un inmenso y amenazado imperio.

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.

Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. 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.

Meditación o carcajadas
Millás, Millás, se me está volviendo vicio escuchar tus libros, reescucharlos y releerlos, aquí voy de nuevo con éste, poco a poco para disfrutarlo y profundizarlo, no sé si voy a hacerlo como si fuese un libro de meditaciones o un libro de humor ..... creo que es un libro de ambos.
