Deliquescence
by Pierre MatileThe novel discusses the situation of Ukraine as an ex-communist country, focusing on the hardships the people have and still are going through, and giving a general idea of the striking differences between Eastern and Western Europe. Deliquescence: the property of some entities to segregate, to become liquid by absorbing the humidity in the atmosphere. Deliquescence, decadence, decomposition, degeneration, call it what you like; they are all resulting from the violation of moral rules. Perhaps it suffices for the moment to note that even empires are not immortal and therefore, like all living things, they are subject to decay.
Deliquescência
by Pierre MatileA Ucrânia está numa encruzilhada, entre a Europa Ocidental de um lado e o grande vizinho russo do outro. O que fazer para escapar da deliquescência?
Delirio
by BetzacostaUn simple momento o un sentimiento es capaz de cambiar una vida, desviar un destino y alejarte de la persona que estás destinada a ser. Que Samantha Heller lleve el apodo de Van Gogh, no es casualidad. Es más que su estilo impresionista, cómo muestra cada emoción en una pincelada, e incluso su don: Es ella misma. Es la manera en que destroza su vida al enamorarse de un hombre prohibido, Michael, y la forma en que saborea el tormento provocado por la reciprocidad de su amor. Oliver Lewis ha tenido su vida planeada desde muy temprana edad, y estar en Chicago es solo un paso más para conseguir su objetivo final: presidir la empresa familiar. Sin embargo, en el aeropuerto, es atraído por una chiquilla triste, Sam, que con la fuerza expansiva de un choque de estrellas de neutrones, absorbe y desintegra todo su mundo planificado. Sin embargo, la fuerza que une a estos dos personajes puede no ser suficiente para alejar los fantasmas que los acechan a ambos.
Delirio
by David GrossmanEn Delirio David Grossman, Man Booker International Prize 2017, aborda el tema del «enemigo» desde el punto de vista más íntimo: solo existimos si alguien nos mira, nos ama o nos odia, hasta el punto que estamos dispuestos a construir rivales con tal de sobrevivir. La anécdota es simple: Elisheva, la esposa de Shaul, se ausenta de casa cada tarde para ir a nadar, o eso es lo que ella dice, pero su marido imagina cosas bien distintas: ve a su esposa con otro hombre, nota sus caricias, oye sus palabras, sabe -como todos los seres celosos creen saber- que con ese hombre Elisheva se atreverá a juegos que nunca ha experimentado con él. El delirio llega a tal punto que Shaul nos convence a todos de que el adulterio es real, y seguiremos a ese marido despechado en un viaje nocturno que supuestamente le llevará al escondrijo donde se refugian los amantes. Quien le acompaña es su cuñada Esti: ella conduce, él está echado en el asiento trasero, y así, sin mirarse, cada cual cuenta su historia con esa soltura con la que a veces nos sinceramos con un viajero que casualmente comparte nuestro asiento en un tren. Al final, poco importa si de verdad este hombre desesperado encontrará a los amantes. La realidad pura y dura es lo de menos; lo que queda y cala hondo es el dolor de un ser humano que necesita de un rival para definirse a sí mismo y definir su mundo. Críticas:«Grossman es uno de los más grandes novelistas de nuestra época, capaz de convertir en universales historias mínimas y de dar vigencia local a grandes temas ancestrales.»Alberto Manguel, Babelia «Las descripciones de Grossman son profundamente eróticas, estremecedoras por sus detalles físicos. Sus frases son vertiginosas, embriagadoras.»The New York Times Book Review
Delirio
by Laura Restrepo«Todos los secretos están guardados en un mismo cajón, el cajón de los secretos, y si develas uno, corres el riesgo de que pase lo mismo con los demás.» Un hombre regresa a casa después de un corto viaje de negocios y encuentra que su esposa ha enloquecido completamente. No tiene idea de qué le pudo haber ocurrido durante los tres días de su ausencia, y con el fin de ayudarla a salir de la crisis empieza a investigar, sólo para descubrir lo poco que sabe sobre las profundas perturbaciones escondidas en el pasado de la mujer que ama. Narrada con talento y emoción, la historia principal de esta novela se fragmenta en otras que se anudan a través de personajes llenos de matices. La autora muestra en esta obra una energía narrativa fuera de lo común, en donde el suspense se mantiene hasta un final esperanzador que cierra una hermosa novela, bien construida, mejor contada y brillantemente desarrollada. «Delirio es una expresión de todo lo que Colombia tiene de fascinante, e incluso de terriblemente fascinante. Y cuando el nivel de la escritura llega hasta donde lo llevó Laura Restrepo, hay que quitarse el sombrero. Lo digo en mi nombre y en nombre del jurado que no ha ahorrado aplausos para esta obra.» JOSÉ SARAMAGO, presidente del jurado VII Premio Alfaguara de Novela

El delirio de Turíng
by Edmundo Paz SoldánUna atípica novela social. Una apasionante trama de suspense, con el telón de fondo de la crisis del neoliberalismo y las protestas contra la globalización. Río Fugitivo vive la semana decisiva de una revuelta popular contra la subida de las tarifas de energía eléctrica hecha por una multinacional. A las tradicionales manifestaciones callejeras, se suma una nueva forma de protesta para un nuevo siglo: la guerra electrónica, los virus informáticos. En este enfrentamiento se entrecruzan los destinos de varios personajes: Kandinsky, hijo de un minero relocalizado, es el mítico líder de un grupo de hackers que combate al gobierno y a las transnacionales; Albert es el fundador, en tiempos de dictadura, de la Cámara Negra, organismo de seguridad del Estado encargado de descifrar las claves y códigos secretos de los opositores; y Miguel Sáenz -conocido como Turing- es el más famoso descifrador de códigos de la Cámara Negra, que comienza a sospechar que su trabajo durante la dictadura no fue tan inocente como él creía. Edmundo Paz Soldán ha escrito el complejo capítulo contemporáneo de la vieja lucha entre los creadores de mensajes secretos y sus descifradores, entre los opresores y los oprimidos.
Delirios
by Marisa GrinsteinLa autora de «Mujeres asesinas» se basó en casos verídicos y descorre elvelo de un mundo en el que la línea que separa la normalidad deldesvarío es muy delgada: se trata del mundo real. La percepción quetengan los lectores de la «realidad» a partir de este libro ya no serála misma. Un hombre puede sentirse un enviado de Dios y los que lo rodean locreerán un mentiroso o un excéntrico. Otro hombre podrá imaginar que suesposa ha sido sustituida por una doble idéntica que, por razonesinsondables, ha ocupado el lugar de su esposa legítima con intencionessiniestras. Una mujer atrapada en una existencia banal advertirá que hasido elegida para participar en una estructura de poder que domina elmundo a través de una máquina. Otra mujer le encuentra sentido a su vidacuando recibe la orden de tejer una alfombra kilométrica para que Dioscamine sobre ella.Resulta difícil determinar el límite entre las conductas desmedidas y laaparición cierta de un delirio. Muy pocos están preparados para admitirque personas de su círculo íntimo puedan estar sufriendo delirios,alucinaciones, locura. Se suele cometer el clásico error de analizarestas conductas desde una lógica racional. Cuando se cae en la cuenta dela magnitud de estas perturbaciones, muchas veces ya es tarde. En estosepisodios aparece, con frecuencia, un pasado de conflictos ysufrimiento, abusos de todo tipo, soledad. «Por suerte escucho voces,porque nadie me habla nunca y no lo puedo soportar», dice una mujer,recién internada en un psiquiátrico.
Delirious
by Daniel Palmer"A roiling plot, insightful characters, clear, intelligent writing. What more could you ask for in a novel?" --Steve BerryCharlie Giles is at the top of his game. An electronics superstar, he's sold his startup to a giant Boston firm, where he's now senior director. He's treated like a VIP everywhere he goes. . .. Until everything in Charlie's neatly ordered world starts to go terrifyingly wrong. "Hits all the right notes. Terrific stuff." --John T. LescroartCharlie's prestigious job and his inventions are wrenched away from him. His family is targeted, and his former employers are dying gruesomely, picked off one by one. Every shred of evidence points to Charlie as a cold-blooded killer. And soon he is unable to tell whether he's succumbed to the pressures of work and become the architect of his own destruction. . .or whether he's the victim of a relentless, diabolical attack. Now he must save his own life--all the while realizing that nothing can be trusted, least of all his own fractured mind. . ."A high-speed thrill ride, filled with shocks and mind-bending twists." --Tess Gerritsen"Not just a great thriller debut, but a great thriller, period." --Lee Child
Delirious Milton: The Fate of the Poet in Modernity
by Gordon TeskeyComposed after the collapse of his political hopes, Milton's great poems Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, and Samson Agonistes are an effort to understand what it means to be a poet on the threshold of a post-theological world. The argument of Delirious Milton, inspired in part by the architectural theorist Rem Koolhaas's Delirious New York, is that Milton's creative power is drawn from a rift at the center of his consciousness over the question of creation itself. This rift forces the poet to oscillate deliriously between two incompatible perspectives, at once affirming and denying the presence of spirit in what he creates. From one perspective the act of creation is centered in God and the purpose of art is to imitate and praise the Creator. From the other perspective the act of creation is centered in the human, in the built environment of the modern world. The oscillation itself, continually affirming and negating the presence of spirit, of a force beyond the human, is what Gordon Teskey means by delirium. He concludes that the modern artist, far from being characterized by what Benjamin (after Baudelaire) called "loss of the aura," is invested, as never before, with a shamanistic spiritual power that is mediated through art.
Delirious Naples: A Cultural History of the City of the Sun
by Pellegrino D'Acierno Stanislao G. Pugliese Theresa Aiello B. Amore Andrea Baldi Angelo Cannavacciuolo Joseph Connors Rose DeAngelis Erri De Luca John Domini Valerio Caprara Simona Frasca Jonathan Galassi Fred Gardaphe Patrizia La Trecchia Ilaria Marchesi Simone Marchesi Nick Napoli Salvatore Napolitano Jason Pine Joseph Rescigno Gabriella Romani Gioia Timpanelli Terrence Ward Robert Zweig Francesco Durante Gregory Pell Charles Sant'EliaThis book is addressed to “lovers of paradoxes” and we have done our utmost to assemble a stellar cast of Neapolitan and American scholars, intellectuals, and artists/writers who are strong and open-minded enough to wrestle with and illuminate the paradoxes through which Naples presents itself. Naples is a mysterious metropolis. Difficult to understand, it is an enigma to outsiders, and also to the Neapolitans themselves. Its very impenetrableness is what makes it so deliriously and irresistibly attractive. The essays attempt to give some hints to the answer of the enigma, without parsing it into neat scholastic formulas. In doing this, the book will be an important means of opening Naples to students, scholars and members of the community at large who are engaged in “identity-work.” A primary goal has been to establish a dialogue with leading Neapolitan intellectuals and artists, and, ultimately, ensure that the “deliriously Neapolitan” dance continues.

The Delirium of Praise: Bataille, Blanchot, Deleuze, Foucault, Klossowski (Parallax: Re-visions of Culture and Society)
by Eleanor KaufmanThe laudatory essay, in which one author praises the work of another, is frequently characterized as an unimportant, even uncritical mode of writing. But as Eleanor Kaufman argues in The Delirium of Praise, this mode of exchange is serious and substantial enough to merit scholarly attention. By not conforming to standard practices of critical discourse, laudatory essays give new status to supposedly inferior forms of communication and states of being—including chatter, silence, sickness, imbalance, and absence of work—and emphasize affective states or emotions such as joy, friendship, and longing.The Delirium of Praise examines a group of five twentieth-century French intellectuals—Georges Bataille, Maurice Blanchot, Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, and Pierre Klossowski—and their laudatory essays about each other. Structured as a circular series of exchanges, the book examines pairings of two thinkers with respect to a given theme. The exchange between Bataille and Blanchot takes up the themes of chatter and silence with regard to the novelist Louis-René des Forêts; the Blanchot-Foucault exchange explores friendship and impersonality through the lens of Jacques Derrida; the Foucault-Deleuze exchange considers "absence of work" (désoeuvrement) and the obscure French philosopher Jacques Martin; the Deleuze-Klossowski exchange revolves around the question of the sick body and the person of Nietzsche; and the final exchange between Klossowski and Bataille focuses on imbalanced economies and the writings of the Marquis de Sade. Where the praise is most excessive, approaching delirium, Kaufman locates a powerful thought-energy that pushes the laudatory essay to its limits. In her conclusion, she presents this unique mode of thought exchange as a form of intellectual hospitality.Kaufman uncovers a suspension of subjectivity, of personality, even of place and time, that is both articulated in the laudatory essays and enacted by them. Her examination of this neglected mode as practiced by five important French thinkers offers a unique perspective on twentieth-century intellectual history.
