"Quién no quiso alguna vez dejar todo de lado y tomar las riendas de un caballo con el propósito de no detenerse hasta recorrer ocho mil kilómetros. Estos kilómetros no son meras leguas sino desiertos, llanuras, montes; pero tambien costumbres, vidas, pueblos, dramas y celebraciones. Es cierto que este viaje pudo realizarse en una epoca que todavia no era lejana, donde las condiciones de riesgo eran menores que en el pasado. Pero por el estilo mismo del viaje, que se desvia de las coordenadas habituales del turismo y que ocurrio en un tiempo en que las comunicaciones aun no eran masivas, el peligro es el peaje que hay que pagar para descubrir de primera mano una voz o un rostro inedito. Cinco años a caballo es un libro desnudo que pone la aventura en la palabra. Vision de un mundo que no volveremos a ver. Bettina Bonifatti emprendio un viaje que comenzo en 1987 y concluyo en 1992. Desde Tierra del Fuego, cruzando el Estrecho de Magallanes rumbo al norte, la Patagonia, de Chile a la Argentina por la Cordillera de los Andes hacia el Oceano Atlantico por la ruta del desierto hasta Buenos Aires, Uruguay, El litoral argentino, las provincias de Cordoba, Santiago del Estero, Tucuman y Salta. Intercalado con este relato hay otro apenas sugerido, se trata la de una austera relacion intimista, la de una mujer cabalgando a lo largo de ocho mil kilometros sin mesa de luz, cama ni baño. Los efectos del viaje sobre el cuerpo antes que otros registros de la sensibilidad podrian ser el eje de esta narrativa que se aparta con decision de las convenciones del genero. En dialogo consigo misma la autora dibuja con trazo rapido, a veces aforistico, el croquis de actitudes climas y rasgos culturales, ademas de ofrecer informacion valiosa de la vida actual y los escenarios de provincia, discute las tradiciones y la forma de vida del campo".

Este Epistolario íntimo reúne una selección de las cartas que escribió el poeta a lo largo de su obra. El volumen puede leerse como la carta de navegación del signo Vallejo. Es en las epístolas enviadas a compañeros de ruta como Juan Larrea, Gerardo Diego o Mariategui donde Vallejo devela de forma mas pristina las reflexiones que motivan su escritura. A traves de ellas tambien se puede reconstruir el itinerario vital que opero como motor de fondo de su escritura: una profunda energia por acumular experiencias y lecturas, entrar en contacto con otros grupos de escritores o dar a conocer sus poemas en distintos medios. Aunque esta peticion no siempre haya sido bien recibida.Es imposible borrar el lugar fundamental que posee Cesar Vallejo dentro la literatura de habla hispana. Autor de una veintena de libros, figurara central de la vanguardia latinoamericana y sus demandas politicas, su escritura significo una confrontacion a los limites del lenguaje y la creatividad. Su vida, en cambio, estuvo marcada por las penurias economicas y un mezquino interes por su obra.

As a young writer of blazing promise, Felix Hartlaub went missing in the final days of the Second World War, leaving behind diaries, notes and incomplete drafts that provide a singularly evocative portrait of life in wartime.From 1941, Hartlaub was posted in various Nazi military command headquarters, a historian tasked with writing the Wehrmachts official record of the war. In private, he wrote the disaffected, ruthlessly clear-eyed and often beautiful fragments that make up Notes from Fuhrer HQ, now translated into English for the first time by the acclaimed Michael Hofmann.Moving from a strangely bucolic barracks in Ukraine to tense bureaucratic headquarters on the Eastern Front to the bizarre, seedy micro-climate of a command train, these dispatches conjure the absurdity and turmoil of life within Hitlers war machine through the eyes of a remarkably perceptive, disabused observer.

The remarkable literary collaboration between a Nobel Prizewinning novelist and his editor of more than forty years.Three people have been of major importance and influence in my life and you are one of them. There is a way in which I am as a writer at least partly your creation.-- William Golding to Charles Monteith In 1953, William Goldings novel Lord of the Flies was rescued from a slush pile of unsolicited manuscripts by Charles Monteith, a new young editor at the publishing house Faber & Faber. It went on to sell over 25 million copies. Over the next forty years Monteith worked closely with Golding on every one of his novels.These letters tell the story of their remarkable collaboration. They chart Goldings transformation from unknown middle-aged schoolmaster to knighted Nobel Prizewinner, and they tell the story of a deep and mutually rewarding friendship, as Dear Monteith and Dear Golding become Dear Charles and Dear Bill.In this beautifully produced, stitch-bound volume, Tim Kendall draws on both public and private archives to reveal the relationship between one of the greatest novelists of the twentieth century and his publisher, both men who considered themselves, for different reasons, to be outsiders. Their correspondence sheds fascinating light on both the mysteries of the writing process and the vagaries of the literary world.Generous, amusing, acerbic, intimate and often irreverent, these letters encompass gossip, reading recommendations and stories of Greek island adventures as well as detailed discussion of titles, characters and Goldings dreadful spelling.
