About this listen
El poema nacional por excelencia, la obra cumbre del género gauchesco en su edición definitiva, con prólogo de Carlos Gamerro y notas introductorias de Alejandra Laera (doctora en Letras y profesora adjunta de Literatura Argentina I en la Universidad de Buenos Aires).
"Nunca se achican los males / Van poco a poco creciendo, / y ansina me vide pronto / Obligao a andar juyendo / No tenia mujer ni rancho, / Y a más era resertor; / No tenia una prenda güena / Ni un peso en el tirador." (Canto VII)
Escritos en 1872 y 1879, los dos volúmenes que componen el poema épico Martín Fierro son la culminación del género gauchesco y el máximo exponente de la literatura argentina a nivel mundial. A través de la narración de las peripecias del héroe - el gaucho Fierro, uno de los personajes más vitales, brutales y contradictorios de las letras nacionales - José Hernández pone en evidencia la cruda realidad a la que se veían enfrentados los hombres del siglo XIX enviados a la frontera a luchar contra los indios y denuncia los abusos de poder por parte de un Estado corrupto y arbitrario.
"El Martín Fierro se ha entrelazado hasta tal punto con su mundo, que es el nuestro; con nuestra literatura anterior y posterior, nuestra lengua, nuestro pensamiento, nuestra política, nuestros valores y maneras de vivir y sentir y mirar ese mundo, que ya no sabemos si provienen del mundo o del poema." (Del prólogo de Carlos Gamerro)
Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Salvar el fuego es una historia que explora la capacidad de los seres humanos para cruzar las fronteras de la locura, el deseo y la venganza. Marina es una coreógrafa, casada, con tres hijos y una vida convencional. José Cuauhtémoc proviene de los extremos de la sociedad, un homicida condenado a cincuenta años de cárcel, un león detrás del cristal, siempre amenazante y listo para atacar. Entre ambos se desarrolla una relación improbable. Poco a poco, ella entra en un mundo desconocido y brutal hasta que desciende a las entrañas mismas del fuego.

Story
A finales del siglo XIX, en las tierras paupérrimas del noreste del Brasil, el chispazo de las arengas del Consejero, personaje mesiánico y enigmático, prenderá la insurrección de los desheredados. En circunstancias extremas como aquellas, la consecución de la dignidad vital solo podrá venir de la exaltación religiosa - el convencimiento fanático de la elección divina de los marginados del mundo - y del quebranto radical de las reglas que rigen el mundo de los poderosos.

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.

"Desconcertante, lista a inquietar a la crítica, está ya en los escaparates la primera novela de Juan Rulfo, Pedro Páramo, que transcurre en una serie de transposiciones oníricas, ahondando más allá de la muerte de sus personajes, que uno no sabe en qué momento son sueño, vida, fábula, verdad, pero a los que se les oye la voz al través de la perspicacia despiadada y certera de tan sin duda extraordinario escritor". Con estas palabras iniciaba Edmundo Valdés la primera reseña de Pedro Páramo, aparecida el 30 de marzo de 1955 y conservada por Juan Rulfo entre sus papeles.

Ricardo ve cumplido, a una edad muy temprana, el sueño que en su Lima natal alimentó desde que tenía uso de razón: vivir en París. Pero el rencuentro con un amor de adolescencia lo cambiará todo. La joven, inconformista, aventurera, pragmática e inquieta, lo arrastrará fuera del pequeño mundo de sus ambiciones. Testigos de épocas convulsas y florecientes en ciudades como Londres, París, Tokio o Madrid, que aquí son mucho más que escenarios, ambos personajes verán sus vidas entrelazarse sin llegar a coincidir del todo.

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.
