CASA DE LOS SECRETOS, LA (EBOOK)
by M. Ruiz GuiñazuLa casa de los secretos esconde, entre sus muros afrancesados, interminables susurros, amores ocultos y toda clase de avatares. Hay allí una larga familia donde cada uno sobrevive a su manera en una Buenos Aires en la que Juan Domingo Perón asume su primera presidencia, la Marina bombardea la Plaza de Mayo y grupos armados incendian las iglesias. A través de una atenta mirada, Magdalena Ruiz Guiñazú describe una sociedad porteña en la que las pasiones solían disimularse en aras de una moral conservadora mientras el mundo despertaba en un escenario de posguerra en el que ya nada sería igual. Los dolientes amores de María Teresa y el jurista Vicente; la altiva Belén y el silencioso Manuel; las monjas encerradas de por vida en el convento y los primeros divorcios legales en la Argentina, construyen esta novela fascinante en la que muchos reconocerán sus propios miedos y los relatos que alguna vez fueron verdad.
CASO YOTIVENKO, EL (EBOOK)
by Juan SasturainJuan Sasturain junta en un rebaño de cuentos toda su sabiduría de tahúr del relato. Pocos pueden como el autor de Manual de perdedores esconder una carta y sacarla en el momento justo, o hacer la vista gorda hasta que las circunstancias exijan una acción inmediata. Con la velocidad estilística que lo caracteriza, Juan Sasturain presenta al personaje y a la situación sin que el lector sienta la molestia de hacer una cola de acontecimientos secundarios. La trama es concisa y directa, pero no está exenta de complejidad; la precisión verbal la disimula. Los personajes son héroes a su manera, pero que revelan antes #de un modo misterioso y sutil, de un modo que conoce sólo el narrador de estos cuentos# cuán difícil y azarosa es la vida que a todos nos toca, y cómo nos gobiernan una serie de inminencias y victorias que tienen, a la hora decisiva, cuando la ironía y el humor han desertado, la certidumbre puntual de un golpe del destino.
CASTELO. DIARIO DE UN IRONISTA (EBOOK)
by C-Castelo CasteloCastelo se definía a sí mismo como un ironista. Por eso sus hijas eligieron este término para contar su historia. Su trabajo fue tan irreverente y novedoso que llegó mucho más lejos de lo que alguna vez imaginó. Fue un transgresor popular. De la mano del humor absurdo y la sátira creó memorables publicaciones, fue pionero de los programas radiales a la medianoche y revolucionó la televisión con ciclos como Semanario insólito y La noticia rebelde. Trabajó con la pasión de un artista que al final del recorrido encuentra cómo decir lo que quiere y que lo entienda la gran mayoría de la gente. Pero Castelo fue también el pibe de la pelota de trapo, el hijo de la portera, el joven de Don Bosco, el enamorado incondicional de Elena a pesar de su infidelidad crónica, el papá de Daniela y Carla. Recién después de los cuarenta su genio se hizo público. El hombre que logró informar y entretener con calidad. En este libro sus hijas pintan a un Castelo íntimo y desconocido, atravesado siempre por las anécdotas desopilantes, la inteligencia y la elegancia.
