The best books of many writers. The best novels for all kinds of literary genres. Essential books.
There is some rabid sincerity in writers who do not maintain that regular cadence that every best-selling pattern recommends. Because sometimes you have things to tell and other times you just don't. Zarraluki is one of those Guadianesque storytellers. An author who emerges when they are least expected to ...
Kierkegaard or when philosophy and literature come together. Because if we all quickly associate Sartre as the core character of this historical current, undoubtedly thanks to his novelistic facet, we must not forget that the issue of existentialism is eminently philosophical. And there Kierkegaard pulls that ...
In the literature made in Chile we can find great international bestsellers such as Isabel Allende as well as other well-established props of that other more avant-garde literature, with more angles. More sophisticated literature and at the same time with greater claim from the point of view of transcendence ...
British author Martin Amis has an essential writer aftertaste. Because Amis is a storyteller capable of finding the perfect balance between the exquisite forms, loaded with ingenious literary figures, and the always original background. In each new novel, since that distant 1973 in which his bibliography ...
Sometimes a specific work (literary in this case) does the author a disservice. The excessive weighting of The Metamorphosis as a masterpiece must have meant the weight of a slab on the good of Franz (something similar must have happened to Salinger with The Catcher in the Rye, more myth ...
To speak of Espido Freire is to speak of literary precocity. This author, who already won the Planet award at the age of 25 (the youngest to achieve it), achieved from that early age that dream of writing as a way of life. A milestone in the Spanish literary scene and a reflection for ...
There are those who conceive the novel as an extension of the biographical. And Mitch Albom is perhaps (with the permission of some other brilliant example like Karl Ove Knausgård) the most successful author in this hybrid genre between invented assumptions and his own vital references. In a way ...
The vindictive aura that revolves around the Bulgákov who is peering out of his own ruthless and burlesque literature towards criticism with reality disguised under the fabulous or even the fantastic, makes him an author who transcends from a work made life, a deformed chronicle and parody ...
We had talked about Danielle Steel, by Nora Roberts and some homeland bestseller of the romantic genre such as Elisabet Benavent. Now it's time to address the bibliography of a Johanna Lindsey who, as in many other cases, also looked to romantic writing as an escape valve and ended up reaching numbers 1 ...
When the moment is right, even the sanest of all ends up committing a madness. That is why I am going to dedicate this post to outline the three best works of William Shakespeare. Nothing better than starting on the defensive to face one of the two greatest writers of the ...
Franck Thilliez is one of those young authors who are in charge of revitalizing a very particular genre. The neopolar, a subgenre of French crime novels, was born back in the 70s. For me it is an unfortunate label, like so many others. But humans are like that, to rationalize and classify it ...
It will be a matter of time (little), that all the work of Lars Mytting will arrive at the Spanish bookstores to give a good account of a very remarkable bibliography that travels between genres with great ease, always with the trace of a humanism towards introspection but that accompanies the plots ...
