From the writer and translator duo of A Magical Girl Retires, a powerful historical novel about labour activism in Japanese-occupied Korea.Set against the backdrop of Japanese-occupied Korea, Capitalists Must Starve follows a sharp-tongued, big-hearted heroine who dares to love, rebel, and carve out space for working-class women in a world determined to silence them. Echoing the unflinching narratives of Alias Grace and the sweeping historical vision of Pachinko, this feminist historical novel balances raw grit with unexpected tenderness and a defiant streak of dark humour.A stirring portrait of resistance from below: fierce, funny, and full of fight.

The things that hold life in place have been lifted off and put away. Uprooted by circumstance from city to deep countryside, a woman lives in temporary limbo, visited by memories of all shes left behind. The most insistent are those of Xavier, who has always been certain he knows her better than anyone, better than she knows herself. Xavier, whom she still loves but no longer desires, a displacement he has been unable to accept. An unexpected letter from an old acquaintance brings back a torrent of others shes loved or wanted. Each has been a match and a mismatch, a liberation and a threat to her very sense of self. The ephemera left by their passage a spilled coffee, an unwanted bouquet, a mind-blowing kiss make up a cabinet of curiosity she inventories, trying to divine the essence of intimacy. What does it mean to connect with another person? What impels us to touch someone, to be touched by them, to stay in touch? How do we let them go? In yet another tour de force of fiction, Claire-Louise Bennett explores the mystery of how people come into and go out of our lives, leaving us forever in their grasp.

Ebook con un sumario dinámico y detallado: Platero y yo es una narración de Juan Ramón Jiménez que recrea poéticamente la vida y muerte del burro Platero. Es muy célebre el primer párrafo:Platero es un burro pequeño, peludo, suave; tan blando por fuera que se diria todo de algodon, que no lleva huesos. Come de todo y los del pueblo dicen que tiene acero...1La primera edicion se publico en 1914 (Ediciones de la lectura), y en 1917 se publico la edicion completa, compuesta por 138 capitulos (Editorial Calleja, Madrid). Quedaba claro que Platero era un texto adulto, aunque por su sencillez y transparencia se adecuara perfectamente a la imaginacion y al gusto de los niños. Algunos capitulos encerraban una cierta critica social, revelando una dimension del autor que muchos tardaron en advertir. El propio Juan Ramon Jimenez, en un "prologuillo" a la edicion aclaraba: "Yo nunca he escrito ni escribire nada para niños, porque creo que el niño puede leer los libros que lee el hombre, con determinadas excepciones que a todos se le ocurren".El poeta tenia la intencion de ampliar el texto hasta los 190 capitulos; de hecho, existen tres adicionales, escritos en la decada de 1920. Juan Ramon Jimenez planeo tambien una segunda parte, denominada Otra vida de Platero, de la que incluso esbozo algunos titulos. Un proyecto que, como el de publicar Platero y yo en cuadernos sueltos, no llegaria nunca a ver la luz. Juan Ramon Jimenez Mantecon (Moguer, Huelva, 23 de diciembre de 1881-San Juan, Puerto Rico, 29 de mayo de 1958) fue un poeta español, ganador del Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1956, por el conjunto de su obra, designandose como trabajo destacado de la misma, la narracion lirica Platero y yo.

La noche líquida propone nadar entre dos aguas, en medio del abismo, en ese instante donde la memoria se funde con los hechos, cuando las expectativas pesan más que la razón y nuestras aristas redibujan la frontera de lo real. Seres sin rostro en la negrura de un pantano, jazz en el cumpleaños de Hitler, hombres mojados y niños hechos a retazos, ojos vidriosos que atraviesan entrañas, dedos que sostienen cigarros junto a la piscina, mujeres que gritan desde las profundidades. Y alguien que corre en la oscuridad. Estos personajes anidan su miedo en lo acuatico, lo que fluye, y sienten que la vida se les escapa entre los dedos, como cuando intentamos beber con las manos: el agua terminara escurriendose en un charco que todo lo empapa. Y, aqui, bajo la superficie, ya trasluce una sombra.
