XX. mendeko libururik esanguratsuenetako bat da 1984. Aurreko mendearen erdian idatzi zuen Orwellek bere distopia, bere utopia negatibo hau. Hala, bada, joan den mende erdiko gerra hotzetik, etorkizun hits eta gupidagabea marraztu zuen. Ontasunarentzat ez dago lekurik Winston protagonistaren munduan. Anaia Nagusiaren eskutik gezurrak, beldurrak eta gorrotoak dena hartu dute 1984an: hizkuntza, morala, maitasuna... Itxaropenik bada, proletarioen baitan dago. Itxaropenik bada. Anaia Nagusiaren aurpegia aienatu egin zen, eta, haren lekuan, Alderdiaren hiru sloganak agertu ziren letra lodi eta larriz: GERRA DA BAKEA ASKATASUNA DA ESKLABUTZA EZJAKINTASUNA DA INDARRA AGogokoen dudan liburuen artean da 1984. Behin eta berriz irakurtzen dudan horietakoa daA (Margaret Atwood). APentsatu dezakegu, erraz, 1984an Orwellek bere semearen belaunaldia eta bere etorkizuna zituela buruan eta etorkizunaz ohartarazi nahi ziela, hain zuzenA (Thomas Pynchon). AKafkaren Prozesuaz geroztik ez dago izugarrikeria logikoa 1984k bezain ondo adierazi duen beste obra fantastikorikA (Arthur Koestler). ALiburu zoragarri eta interesgarriaA (Aldous Huxley).

When having his portrait painted, Dorian Gray declares he would give anything to stay youthful - even his soul. Dorian descends into a life of decadent excess, and while he retains his youthful looks, the portrait becomes horrifically disfigured. Oscar Wilde's only novel is a dark, Faustian fable of wish fulfillment that leads to an inescapable day of reckoning.This book has matching lined and blank journals (sold separately). They make a great gift when paired together but are also just as beautiful on their own.

Nova edició d’un dels grans llibres de Mercè Rodoreda, contemporani i perfectament a l’altura de La plaça del Diamant.En tres o quatre anys (1960-1963), sola a Ginebra, Mercè Rodoreda va crear les ob

En Raimon escriu contes per a la radio i viu amb el seu germa Blai, que va quedar trastocat per un accident en un bosc quan era petit i ara porta una vida senzilla treballant en un taller ocupacional. Un dia en Rai rep un encarrec estrany, una dona gran que sempre escolta els seus relats, la Celia, vol contractar-lo perque li escrigui la seva biografia: Mai no hauria imaginat que els teus contes explicarien tan be la meva vida.La seva relacio creixera a cavall del relat i el record. Ella li encarregara reescriure tot allo que va viure i ell intentara esbrinar que samaga darrere una oferta gens innocent. La vigilia es una novel·la abassegadora que uneix el millor i el pitjor de lesser huma. Es una historia sobre el poder infinit de lamor, el valor dels nostres records i la vida que hem decidit dur a terme per sobreviure al nostre passat.Es impossible destriar el que un escriu dallo que un viu. Les paraules es barregen amb els dies, i la linia difusa que separa el record del conte es confon. Diuen que, tard o dhora, les lletres sempre acaben dictant sentencia. Jo hauria volgut viure dins de moltes histories que vaig escriure per a la radio, fins i tot dadolescent hauria viscut en el vers dalgun poe - ma: aquella passio desaforada en una habitacio petita pero lluminosa a lestiu, compartir una ampolla de vi i el dubte de si viure val la pena ara que la inercia ha vençut al dubte, tastar boques i cossos que sem van escapar, coneixer gent i passar per dins seu (o que ells passessin per dins meu) sense fer-nos mal.Amb la col·laboracio de la Generalitat de Catalunya, Departament de Cultura.
