Una relación perfecta
by William TrevorUna relación perfecta confirma a William Trevor como el maestro absoluto del relato, capaz de dibujar con toda elocuencia y la mayor economía de medios la cara dramática de nuestra existencia. Casi sin excepción, William Trevor está considerado uno de los mejores narradores de nuestro tiempo. Este nuevo libro de relatos -después de La historia de Lucy Gault y Verano y amor, tercera obra de Trevor publicada por Salamandra- es la brillante demostración de su fértil y conmovedor universo literario, pues pocos como el escritor irlandés son capaces de narrar con tanta exactitud la complejísima topografía de la conducta humana. Desde un hombre que regresa a Venecia para cumplir la promesa que hizo a su esposa, perdida en el mundo sin recuerdos del Alzheimer, hasta una mujer que observa cómo su marido se prepara para reunirse por última vez con su amante, las historias de este libro hablan de oportunidades perdidas. De las trampas de la memoria, arbitraria y fragmentaria; de los secretos que sofocamos; de los sueños a los que nos aferramos; de las consecuencias que pueden tener, años después, unas palabras no pronunciadas. Los relatos de William Trevor esconden un cuidado mecanismo para revelar los rincones más recónditos del laberinto del deseo, y transmiten una especial melancolía, teñida de humor. La crítica ha dicho...«¿Qué queda por decir de William Trevor excepto repetir la evidencia de que es el maestro indiscutible de la narrativa? Sus relatos muestran una facilidad para hablar de espacios en la mente y el corazón humanos que está fuera del alcance de la mayoría de los escritores.»The Times «¿Cómo explicar el milagro de William Trevor? Ha conservado su asombro y curiosidad hacia la humanidad, por sus esperanzas, sus pecados y sus fallos.»The Irish Times «Magistral [...] Estos cuentos permanecen en la memoria mucho tiempo después de su lectura.»The New York Times «Un narrador y estilista soberano.»Süddeutsche Zeitung «Su hermosa y sobria prosa es un pequeño milagro. Estos relatos figuran entre los mejores de Trevor.»Irish Independent «Ningún otro escritor vivo domina el cuento como William Trevor.»The Literary Review «Estos relatos, igual que los de Chejov -la comparación es casi inevitable-, dejan espacio para que el lector piense, y de esta forma consiguen su objetivo, que es subrayar la naturaleza solitaria, la impenetrabilidad, de la experiencia individual.»Anita Brookner, The Spectator

Relacionamentos à Distância: Como manter o amor próximo
by Vanessa M. Lopez W. L. S. BorgesVocê está em um relacionamento à distância? Saiba como fazer o amor funcionar! Capacidades avançadas de comunicação nos deram o poder de escolher onde podemos ter empregos, mas às vezes acontece que a pessoa que você ama não pode ser igualmente transplantada de seu posto atual. Se isso significa automaticamente o fim do seu relacionamento? Claro que não. A distância não é somente uma qualidade espacial, mas também emocional. Você e seu amor podem estar longe um do outro e ter os corações mais próximos. Pode parecer um clichê, de fato; inúmeros filmes e ficções de romance fazem-o parecer assim, mas o verdadeiro amor pode resistir a todas as coisas. Se você se encontra na mesma situação e sabe que você e seu parceiro podem fazer isso funcionar, ainda que não tenha ideia de como, então este pequeno livro é para você. É para a brava, a comprometida, a pessoa que sabe a diferença entre algo para investir e algo para terminar.
Relaciones A Distancia: Cómo Puedes Hacerlas Funcionar
by Vanessa M. Lopez Marcela Gutiérrez BravoEstar separados en cuanto a distancia no significa que los corazones deberían separarse, también. Las tecnologías de hoy nos han permitido alcanzar a gente desde tan lejos como los confines de la Tierra, mostrándonos que nuestra especie, a pesar de estar tan dispersa, comparte semejantes necesidades de sentirse apreciada, conocida y amada. Puedes conocer a alguien en línea, alguien con semejantes diferencias, hasta que descubres que comparten los mismos puntos de vista en la vida, las mismas pasiones, los mismos sueños, los mismos tipos de vecinos, incluso. Puedes enamorarte de esta persona que ni siquiera has conocido físicamente. Este es un ejemplo de cómo puede ocurrir una relación a larga distancia. O esto. Las capacidades de comunicación avanzada nos han dado el poder de elegir dónde podemos trabajar, pero en ocasiones solamente sucede que la persona que amas no puede mudarse de su lugar actual. ¿Debería eso, automáticamente, significar el final de tu relación? Por supuesto que no.

Relationship Rescue: A Seven-Step Strategy for Reconnecting with Your Partner
by Phillip C. McgrawAs a follow-up to his bestselling book Life Strategies, Oprah acolyte Phillip C. McGraw, Ph.D., moves from aiding the aimless individual to coaching the disconnected couple. McGraw has distilled his more than two decades of counseling experience into a seven-step strategy he calls "Relationship Rescue.""I'm prepared to kick a hole in the wall of the pain-ridden, unhappy maze you've gotten yourself into, and provide you clear access to action-oriented answers and instructions on what you must do to have what you want," says Dr. Phil. His aim is to expose and eliminate the saboteurs that cause senseless damage to already-fragile marriages, and, like an emotional root canal, to replace them with values he says provide positive results. If you follow Dr. Phil's strategy, he will lead you on a precise journey to uncover your heart and then share it with your partner as part of taking the "risk of intimacy."Dr. Phil leads you to "reconnect with your core" in the first five steps of his seven-step strategy. By no means a quick fix, there are in-depth and rigorous questionnaires, surveys, tests, and profiles that require a "brutally candid" mindset, with such fill-in-the-blanks as "List five things that today would make you fall out of love with your partner." With this internal work accomplished, you'll then move on to reconnecting with your partner during a two-week, half-hour-a-day short course. As a "dyad," you and your loved one take turns giving monologues on topics such as "The most positive thing I took away from my mother and father's relationship was..."Once the "reconnection" has been established, Dr. Phil says the work shifts to a management role, as relationships are always a work in progress. Dr. Phil humorously refers to his own marriage throughout the book, sharing his mishaps and victories in learning to accept and enjoy what he sees as fundamental but complementary differences between men and women. --John Youngs
