Con este relato fascinante sobre el frágil límite entre el deseo y la aniquilación, J. G. Ballard transporta al lector a uno de sus paisajes más inolvidables.En su viaje a una remota región del este de Africa, el medico britanico Edward Sanders descubre un fenomeno inexplicable: los bosques han empezado a cristalizarse. Los arboles se transforman en joyas colosales, los cocodrilos reptan hacia el rio cubiertos por una piel centelleante y las pitones se alzan con ojos de gema en posturas heraldicas.Mientras muchos habitantes huyen aterrados, otros, deslumbrados por la belleza, vagan sin rumbo por un mundo petrificado que oscila entre la fascinacion y el miedo. En ese escenario irreal, un jesuita blande una cruz de cristal, un pistolero busca a su mujer y una tribu de leprosos ansia alcanzar el paraiso.

¿Qué es el tiempo? ¿Es solo un transcurrir? ¿Es recuerdo, es pasado es futuro, es enfermedad? ¿Es posible morir "de tiempo"? ¿Se puede guardar el tiempo, retenerlo, detenerlo, escrito en las páginas de un diario intimo? ¿Acaso memoria, tiempo y recuerdo son lo mismo? Romina, la protagonista de esta historia, se adentra en su pasado para avanzar hacia el futuro en medio de un presente absolutamente caotico. A lo largo del recorrido, tendra que cerrar heridas, asumir la muerte como parte de la vida y entender que la vida, de alguna manera, tambien es la antesala de la muerte y hay que aprender a convivir con eso.Limitada a solo interactuar con sus mascotas y mantener el menor contacto con los humanos, tendra tambien que aceptar que los vinculos son necesarios para definir quienes somos, que queremos y hacia donde vamos.

El abrevadero de los dinosaurios es una novela que combina memoria, imaginación y realidad en un relato profundamente simbólico. Daína Chaviano construye una historia donde el pasado y el presente dialogan a traves de recuerdos que se transforman en territorio mitico. El "abrevadero" funciona como metafora de un espacio de encuentro entre lo perdido y lo recuperado, entre la infancia y la madurez, entre lo historico y lo fantastico. Con su caracteristica prosa lirica y sugerente, la autora nos conduce por un universo donde lo cotidiano se impregna de resonancias magicas y donde la identidad se construye a partir de fragmentos de memoria y deseo. Una obra que invita a reflexionar sobre el tiempo, la pertenencia y la necesidad de reinventar nuestra propia historia

Los cefalotórax lo consiguieronLos cefalotórax son homínidos que habitan un planeta muy parecido a la Tierra, pero distante de ella en el universo. Han seguido una evolución casi idéntica a la humana, con la notable excepcion de unas mutaciones experimentadas hace unos 1.5 millones de años que los hicieron carentes de cuello. Por esta razon, muchos cefalotorax, tanto del pasado como del presente, tienen un equivalente terricola y viceversa. Su mayor logro fue haber alcanzado la paz y la igualdad economica y social en su mundo, tras una cruenta guerra, con gran esfuerzo, algo de suerte y muchas vicisitudes. Por ello, son considerados un ejemplo a seguir por muchas civilizaciones.

Ya (no) puedes volver es un libro de relatos de ciencia ficción. La mayoría de estos cuentos tienen lugar en Bogotá y en Carolina del Sur, aunque otros suceden en la Amazonía, en Detroit, en Nueva York, en Marte, en lunas lejanas de nuestro sistema solar e incluso en galaxias distantes. Los primeros cuentos ocurren a principios del siglo XXI, mientras que los ultimos suceden en futuros cada vez mas distantes y extraños.

The Last Man is a post-apocalyptic science fiction novel by Mary Shelley, which was first published in 1826. The book tells of a future world that has been ravaged by a plague. The novel was harshly reviewed at the time, and was virtually unknown having been eclipsed by Shelleys more popular works until a scholarly revival in the 1960s. It contains semi-biographical portraits of Romantic figures in Shelleys circle, particularly Shelleys late husband Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron.Plot Summary:IntroductionMary Shelley states in the introduction that in 1818 she discovered, in the Sibyls cave near Naples, a collection of prophetic writings painted on leaves by the Cumaean Sibyl. She has edited these writings into the current narrative, the first-person narrative of a man living at the end of the 21st century, commencing in 2073 and concluding in 2100. Despite the chronological setting, the world of The Last Man appears to be relatively similar to the era in which it was written.Failure of Romantic Political IdealsThe Last Man not only laments the loss of Shelleys friends, but also questions the Romantic political ideals..
