Wixon, literary executor of the Clifford D. Simak estate and editor of this ebook.

Escrito en la piel del jaguar
by Sara Jaramillo KlinkertLa autora descubierta por Abad Faciolince, una de «las escritoras que revolucionan las letras latinoamericanas» (SModa), vuelve a deslumbrar tras Cómo maté a mi padre y Donde cantan las ballenas (ganadora del XXVI Premio San Clemente) «La prosa es precisa, rica, eficaz, deslumbrante [...]. Jaramillo Klinkert construye personajes sólidos y de trazo profundo».Luisgé Martín Lila y Miguel, una pareja de trabajadores obsesionados con el dinero y la clase social, dejan atrás su cómoda vida en la gran ciudad y terminan varados en un lugar idílico frente al mar, aunque recientemente asolado por una gran sequía. Allí esperan la llegada de Antigua Padilla, una buscadora de agua de quien se dice que tiene el poder de atraer a los jaguares. Atrapados en un tiempo sin medida, oyen hablar acerca de curanderas con pies de elefante y fuego en la boca, peces que comen ojos, hombres de dos caras, flores del sueño y leyes impuestas por fuerzas invisibles para favorecer sus oscuros intereses. No solo serán desafiados por la naturaleza y la comunidad de nativos sino también por ellos mismos y sus limitaciones, pues en ese lugar hermoso y terrible salen a la luz los aspectos más secretos e inquietantes del ser humano. Una historia inspirada en hechos reales sobre el choque de dos mundos, sobre domadores domados y la mirada miope de los citadinos que pretenden habitar un entorno salvaje. La revelación de la literatura colombiana con Cómo maté a mi padre cifra también en esta gran novela la arraigada costumbre de cerrar los ojos como método de supervivencia. La crítica ha dicho «Con su prosa rica y valiente, desteje los hilos del tiempo y el dolor para mostrarnos el alma humana».Pilar Quintana, premio Alfaguara de novela Sobre Donde cantan las ballenas: «La prosa es precisa, rica, eficaz, deslumbrante, y está puesta al servicio de la imaginería de la novela. Donde cantan las ballenas tiene una medida exuberancia visual. [...] Jaramillo Klinkert construye personajes sólidos y de trazo profundo».Luisgé Martín «Una bella, exótica y luminosa ficción llena de capas».María Viñas, La Voz de Galicia Sobre Cómo maté a mi padre: «Desde la violencia se levanta un gran ejercicio de introspección que conmueve y emociona. A mí me ha estremecido por su verdad y por su fuerza».Manuel Vilas «Hacer cristalizar estos sentimientos tan enormes y dramáticos en una literatura que sea convincente para los demás, que no caiga en la ñoñería, que sea profunda y emocionante, es muy complicado. Sara ha seguido la estela de Héctor Abad Faciolince y lo ha hecho maravillosamente bien [...]. Muy recomendable».Marta Sanz, Babelia «Una excelente nueva escritora colombiana, con una novela profunda y conmovedora».Héctor Abad Faciolince
The Eternal Moment and Other Stories (Dover Thrift Editions: Short Stories)
by E. M. Forster“Something that cuts across them like a bar of light . . . patiently illumines all their problems, and at another place shoots over or through them as if they did not exist. We shall give that bar of light two names, fantasy and prophecy.” —E. M. Forster, Aspects of the Novel Six compelling tales intertwined with fantasy spotlight the profound humanism that E. M. Forster developed in his later novels. These early writings provide readers with a thought-provoking exploration of the human spirit, allowing for the possibility of a life-altering epiphany that frequently conflicts with conventional wisdom. From the prescient science fiction dystopia “The Machine Stops” to the title story, “The Eternal Moment,” each character is engulfed by a separation of reality from illusion and every experience prompts a transformation within. With opposing perspectives at play, they can never be the same. This extraordinary short story collection includes “Co-Ordination,” “The Eternal Moment,” “Mr. Andrews,” “The Machine Stops,” “The Point of It,” and “The Story of the Siren.”
