Penguin Random House SEA My Mother Pattu
Book SynopsisFinely textured, humane and deeply relevant, these stories of love, loss, and the politics of identity, race, and belonging, challenge comfortable conventions about ourselves Deeply humane, in turn wry and humorous, the stories in this collection haunt readers with their searing honesty. A woman, deeply in love with her husband, discovers to her anguish that the love of a good man is not enough. A little boy tries hard to hold his family together as his parents’ marriage disintegrates before his eyes. A mother has a poignant yet brutal conversation with God about her severely disabled son. Three young people idealistically reject racial prejudice and stereotyping, only to find that in Malaysia, their future paths are largely determined by ethnicity and privilege. The extent to which a woman will go in her hatred for her daughter’s childhood friend, ends in a violent aftermath. Meet the extraordinary in ordinary people when they confront the truth of their past and present—and refuse to look away. Authentic and unsentimental, each story celebrates the resilience of the human spirit even as it challenges comfortable conventions about identity, love, family, community, race relations.Table of Contents 1.

Penguin Random House SEA A Mother's Burden
Book SynopsisIn Song Dynasty China, a young servant of a magistrate searches for the killers of a mentally-disabled boy shunned by the community. A mentally-disabled boy is found dead in a small town. All signs point to his mother, a poor and ailing widow, as the one who caused his death. But as Liu Yong, the lowly attendant of the magistrate, delves deeper, he finds that things may not be what they seem. The young man’s investigations take him to the unfamiliar territory of the Capital, where he must contend with naked prejudice, bent officials and powerful foes. For help, Yong turns to the enigmatic Beggars’ Sect, a network comprising street people of variable character: good and bad, righteous and criminal. There is little room for error. One wrong step could bring failure, or worse. In a strict, hierarchical society, Yong needs to dig deep to find the truth against the odds and, in the process, discover his own worth.

Ediciones Lea El gran Gatsby. El extraño caso de Benjamin
Book SynopsisWritten with extraordinary insight and delicate prose, El gran Gatsby gives us a glimpse into the complexity characterizing North American society at the beginning of the 20th Century. Sophisticated taste, extravagant lifestyles, destructive obsessions, and loneliness are all clearly portrayed through Gatsby and his obsessive quest for a woman out of his reach. This novel and Fitzgerald’s short story of a man who starts life in his seventies and gets younger with time are included in this book.DueÑo de una prosa delicada, con pasajes poÉticos de extrema belleza estÉtica, Scott Fitzgerald supo narrar como pocos las miserias de las clases acomodadas de la sociedad norteamericana de principios de siglo XX, en tiempos del jazz pero tambiÉn de la Primera Guerra Mundial. MezclÓ, en iguales dosis, la parafernalia afectada de los ricos con el buen gusto y las emociones mÁs profundas, sobre todo el amor, la pasiÓn y la melancolÍa. El gran Gatsby y El extraÑo caso de Benjamin Button, sus textos mÁs reconocidos, condensan lo mejor de este autor, un verdadero clÁsico de la literatura norteamericana, cuya obra exquisita pero contundente persiste a lo largo del tiempo.

Ediciones Lea Cuentos fundamentales - Guy de Maupassant
Book SynopsisThe first part of this anthology is a selection of Maupassant’s stories about his experiences as a traveler. The second is a collection of writings depicting his innermost feelings. Fear, confusion, apprehension, and internal turmoil seem to be the constant emotions in his universe. His reflections expose a reality of inner dysfunction in which nothing is clear, all spiritual reasoning appears confounding, and a breakdown resulting from mental illness seems imminent. Cuentos Fundamentales reÚne una selecciÓn de relatos que transitan por las zonas mÁs profundas del universo Maupassant: el miedo, la confusiÓn espiritual de la razÓn, la sombrÍa existencia de lo opaco y lo misterioso, la inquietud y el presagio de la desintegraciÓn interior producto de la enfermedad mental. Admirado por Chejov, Flaubert, CortÁzar, Horacio Quiroga, Tolstoi y Gabriele D’Annunzio, la presente antologÍa estÁ dividida en dos ejes principales. La primera parte recopila una serie de escritos relacionados con el perfil de viajero que tenÍa el escritor francÉs (“Viaje de novios”, “Viaje de salud”, “Diario de un viajero”), junto con la selecciÓn de algunas de sus piezas literarias mÁs publicadas en ediciones antolÓgicas de cuentistas de la literatura universal, como los cuentos “Pierrot” y “Una aventura parisiense”. La segunda parte profundiza en las zonas mÁs intimas y personales del literato: los intentos de suicidios, la locura, la etapa narrativa vinculada con la dimensiÓn de lo sobrenatural y el gÉnero de horror, y el relato que actualmente es considerado uno de los cuentos clÁsicos de la literatura moderna, “Bola de sebo”.
