Born into slavery on a Mississippi plantation, Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield has been raised in the safety of Philadelphia’s Quaker community by a wealthy adoptive mother.

Escenas de una infancia reúne, por primera vez en lengua española, una selección de la mejor prosa breve del Premio Nobel de Literatura. De los relatos aquí contenidos, algunos se adentran libremente en el terreno de lo autobiográfico, como las extraordinarias estampas de «Escenas de una infancia» o «El pelo de Line»: evocan primeras veces, amistades, pérdidas, el descubrimiento del deseo, instantes de felicidad y fracasos más o menos estrepitosos.

En el momento de su muerte repentina la acompañaban su marido y cuatro amigos. Uno de ellos, el escritor Gabriel García Márquez, publicó días después un artículo que incluía tres palabras en apariencia simples, pero misteriosas en el fondo: «Murió de tristeza». En Los nombres de Feliza el autor funde con maestría la autobiografía, la realidad y la imaginación para entregar al lector una ficción asombrosa y desgarradora sobre cómo la vida íntima de un ser humano se ve inevitablemente arrollada por las fuerzas de la historia y la política.

Un bambino viene al mondo; si chiamerà Johannes, sarà un pescatore. Un uomo ormai anziano muore; si chiamava Johannes, era un pescatore. Mattino e sera si estende tra i due estremi della vita, come tra i due estremi del giorno, tra i pensieri di un padre che vede nascere suo figlio e quelli di un vecchio che affronta le cose di ogni giorno, nel suo ultimo giorno, cose sempre identiche, riconoscibili, eppure definitive.

Starke Männer? Schwache Frauen? Genaues Hinsehen birgt oft Überraschungen. Ein Lebensbogen: Die vierjährige Anna in der gefährlichen russischen Zone im grauen Nachkriegswien. Aemilia, eine liebevolle Großmutter, die die diffusen Kinderängste in strahlenden Lebensmut verwandelt. Diese ganz besondere Kraft träge Anna bis zu ihrem Tot durch ihr bewegtes Leben zwischen Wiener und New Yorker High Society: Liebe, Glück, Freundschaft, Ehrgeiz, Intrigen, unerwartete Wendungen. Und diese eine unbeantwortete Frage: Waren es Morde? Oder nur tragische Zufälle? Trügt hier das scheinbar offensichtliche?

Hace poco más de un siglo, una familia partió de Sorrento y se instaló en la ciudad argentina de Mar del Plata para abrir un hotel y luego una trattoria cerca de la playa. Podría tratarse de una familia cualquiera de las tantas que inmigraron por esos años, pero esta tuvo una participación especial en la cultura argentina: inventó los sorrentinos, una pasta que hoy se come en todo el país.

A infância é o tempo de descobertas. É a fase da vida em que o ser humano recebe e retribui os sentimentos à sua volta com maior vigor e integridade. Com Miguilim, menino que protagoniza esta novela de João Guimarães Rosa, não é diferente. Contudo, a visão de mundo repleta de sensibilidade que vinca a personalidade da criança transforma o conjunto de situações que ela experimenta num redemoinho sem precedentes de sensações. Os leitores de Campo Geral naturalmente se envolvem e se emocionam ao tomar contato com as impressões e conclusões do menino sobre o mundo que o cerca.

Mi personaje ha sido moldeado por dos fuerzas opuestas; la presión de amoldarme a la normas sociales y la presión de ser mi mismo. Para ser honesto, estas fuerzas me han hecho trizas. Me han jalado de un lado para el otro. En algunos momentos me han dejado cuestionando mi existencia por completo. Pero por favor, no piense que estoy molesto o malhumorado. No lo estoy. Puesto que con la adversidad viene el conocimiento. He sufrido, es cierto, pero he aprendido de mi dolor. Me he convertido en mejor persona.

The girl who led the English against the French in the One Hundred Years War, who hears voices of the saints and God himself, discovers she will burn at the stake, not for leading the French Armies against her English captors, not for heresy against the church, but for cross-dressing. Despised by Bishop Cauchon, he lays out a legal case against Joan which is full of lies but no one goes against him. Most look forward to watching whom they believe is the devil woman burn at the stake. A guard she has befriended lays out an escape plan to free her but fate intervenes.
