Dolor y gloria
by Pedro AlmodóvarLa película más personal de Pedro Almodóvar. El libro más repleto de extras. Salvador Mallo es un veterano director de cine aquejado de múltiples dolencias, pero el peor de sus males es la incapacidad para seguir rodando. La mezcla de medicamentos y drogas hace que Salvador pase la mayor parte del día postrado. Este estado de duermevela le traslada a una época de su vida que nunca visitó como narrador: su infancia en los años sesenta, cuando emigró con sus padres a un pueblo de Valencia en busca de prosperidad. También se le vuelve a aparecer su primer amor adulto, ya en el Madrid de los ochenta, y el dolor que supuso la ruptura. Salvador se refugia en la escritura como única terapia para olvidar lo inolvidable. Ese ejercicio lo devuelve al temprano descubrimiento del cine, cuando las películas se proyectaban sobre un muro encalado, al aire libre, con olor a pis, a jazmín y a brisa de verano. De nuevo, descubrirá que el cine puede ser su única salvación frente al dolor, la ausencia y el vacío. Esta edición contiene, además del guion original de la película (que incluye escenas que no se vieron en el cine), un sustancioso apartado de comentarios sobre su proceso creativo y el rodaje, firmado por el propio Almodóvar, y un precioso epílogo de Gustavo Martín Garzo. Además, está profusamente ilustrada a todo color con fotografías y fragmentos del storyboard. Un libro perfecto para todos los amantes del cine y la cultura.
Doloras y humoradas
by Ramón De CampoamorDoloras y humoradas Ramón de Campoamor Campoamor llegó a ser el poeta más leído de su tiempo, pero fue sólo por la oposición al desenfreno de los románticos, porque ofreció un tono distinto a la poesía. El fenómeno de la inmensa popularidad de Campoamor surge, precisamente, por el agotamiento verbal del siglo romántico. Cuando se yergue sencillo, jovial, con su gran facilidad versificadora y su imaginación inagotable para crear situaciones filosófico-pueblerinas, barre con todo lo que encuentra a su paso. Entonces, las abuelas suspiran al conjuro de la niña enamorada que acude al señor cura para hacerle una carta a su amor, porque "¡quién supiera escribir!" Campoamor creó las doloras y las humoradas. Las primeras son poemas dramáticos breves, envueltos en cierta ironía ante los reveses de la vida. Las segundas son casi lo mismo, pero dotadas de buen humor no exento de sentimentalismo. La Real Academia Española fija el nacimiento de la dolora hacia 1846, y las humoradas fueron publicadas entre 1886 y 1888. El propio Campoamor las calificó de "rasgo intencionado de tendencia comicosentimental".

Dolores
by Lauren Aimee CurtisDolores is a glowing, beating heart of a book; Curtis' sentences manage to be both mysterious and precise, creating a potent atmosphere that resonates beyond its brevity -- Megan Hunter, author of THE END WE START FROM Dolores reads the way a first novel should: short, lyrical, intense, and with adventurous ambition -- Nell Zink, author of THE WALLCREEPER and MISLAID Rich, melodic and marked by a troubling sensuality, Dolores depicts the strange pleasures a young girl might take in her body, and the perils and liberations such pleasures hold -- Sue Rainsford, author of FOLLOW ME TO GROUND On a hot day in late June, a young girl kneels outside a convent, then falls on her face. When the nuns take her in, they name her Dolores.Dolores adjusts to the rhythm of her new life - to the nuns with wild hairs curling from their chins, the soup chewed as if it were meat, the bells that ring throughout the day.But in the dark, private theatre of her mind are memories - of love motels lit by neon red hearts, discos in abandoned hospitals and a boy called Angelo.And inside her, a baby is growing.

Dolores y compañía
by Micheline DusseckEn suma, lo más sublime como lo más detestable de la condición humana. Luis, un diplomático madrileño, se propone hacer las paces con su mujer que decidió romper con él y para eso, fue en su búsqueda en la provincia de Cádiz en cuya capital nació ella y pasó gran parte de su vida en la ciudad de El Puerto de Santa María. Consiguió su propósito con la ayuda de Juan, un viejo pescador originario también de la tacita de plata. Pero Dolores tiene otros planes donde no caben ni el hombre con quién se casó y formó una familia, ni un antiguo enamorado que frecuentó antes de su compromiso con Luis. La vida de ese trío de personajes abarca más de un cuarto de siglo de la historia reciente de España. Su manera de pensar y de actuar ha ido evolucionando al mismo ritmo que el país, pues de ser estudiantes y veinteañeros durante los últimos coletazos del franquismo, pasaron a ser adultos en plena democracia. En torno a los tres, gravitanunas figuras tan singulares como ellos, cuya existencia pone en evidencia lo mejor como lo peor de esos personajes. En la trama, entra en juego un abanico de sentimientos; la pasión, el amor, el deseo, la amistad, la codicia, el egoísmo como la fidelidad, la traición, los prejuicios y la generosidad. En suma, lo más sublime como lo más detestable de la condición humana.
