Paperback. Condition: New. "Mylene Fernandez offers us a magnificent gift. Her story of lost love and the difficult pursuit of literature is at the same time an X-ray of life in Havana, set in a present where glimpses of the future have not yet arrived."--Leonardo Padura, author of The Man Who Loved Dogs and the Mario Conde novels of Havana In contemporary Havana, "Do I stay or do I go?" is always the question, and love doesn't necessarily conquer all. A cautious, reserved professor of Spanish Literature, Marian has no idea that her quiet life is about to be turned upside down. When she's asked to review the work of a young, ambitious first-time novelist, she meets Daniel, and their love affair leads her to question both the choices she's made so far in her life and the opportunities she might yet still have. Theirs is the story of an intense and impossible love, set in today's Havana, a city where there can be no plans, where chance is the order of the day and a fierce sense of loyalty and pride coexists with the desire to live beyond the island's isolation."The fresh panorama of Cuban society today is painted without taboos or constraints, with a faith in human possibilities, and above all with a courage that stems from what is most legitimate and durable in ourselves."--Nancy Morejon, author of Looking Within: Selected Poems and Piedra Pulida "A Corner of the World is about desires and dreams, and, of course, about love."--Achy Obejas, author of Days of Awe and Ruins "Like the best of Truman Capote, another master of the short novel, Mylene Fernandez gives us a cast of unforgettable characters: contradictory, complex, and human."--Fernando Perez, director of Suite Habana, Life Is to Whistle, and Madagascar "To read this book is to encounter one of the best and most intimate works of Cuban literature of the 21st century."--Mabel Cuesta, author of Cuba post-sovietica: un cuerpo narrado en clave de mujer "A sad, erotic, tender, and sometimes ironic tale of passion and desertion.the city becomes a co-protagonist, a confidante, a point of departure and return, and of waiting."-Senel Paz, novelist and screenwriter of Strawberry and Chocolate, Things I Left in Havana, and In the Sky with Diamonds.…

Rustica (tapa blanda). Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 01. Marian tiene 37 años y es profesora de literatura en la Universidad de La Habana. Tímida y sin demasiadas ambiciones, su vida transcurre entre la facultad y el cuidado de su madre enferma. Pero todo se tambalea el día que recibe un encargo literario cuyas consecuencias insospechadas le cambiarán la vida. Marian se verá entonces arrastrada a una de esas historias de amor que, a pesar de todas las señales de alarma, enganchan. Apasionado y teatral (hoy te odio a muerte pero mañana no podré vivir sin ti), su nuevo amante le servirá un cóctel (molotov) con su halo de misterio, su misticismo bohemio y sus dosis de violencia más o menos sutil. Una historia de desayunos y flores donde no todo es lo que parece. Y, al final del túnel, la literatura como único refugio para unos personajes que parecen perseguir las sombras de la Scherezade de Las mil y una noches, la Justine de Sade o la Penélope de La Odisea. Mecánicos, escribidores de cartas, artistas, estudiantes y pingueros, todos ellos obligados a recurrir a la picaresca para sobrevivir, pueblan las páginas de esta Isla en la que late el eco de la Revolución.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Overbooking es un libro de cuentos donde Mylene Fernandez Pintado vuelve sobre algunos de los grandes territorios de su narrativa: La Habana, la memoria, el azar, el deseo, la perdida, la ironia cotidiana y esa nostalgia que acompana a quienes han vivido entre despedidas, regresos, ruinas afectivas y promesas incumplidas.En estas historias, los personajes parecen estar siempre al borde de una decision, de una revelacion o de una fuga. Venden un viejo Moskvich y descubren que tambien se desprenden de una parte de su vida; pierden una oportunidad por culpa del azar; se aferran a amores posibles o imposibles; imaginan reconquistas, viajes, futuros mas amables; sobreviven a la soledad, a la escasez, a la memoria familiar, a los enganos, a las pequenas humillaciones y a los absurdos de una realidad que muchas veces parece escrita por una mano invisible y caprichosa.Con un lenguaje limpio, pausado y lleno de humor inteligente, Mylene Fernandez Pintado construye relatos donde lo intimo y lo social se cruzan constantemente. Sus personajes viven en una Habana reconocible y fantasmagorica a la vez: una ciudad que se desea, se abandona, se recuerda, se padece y se reinventa. En sus calles, casas, aeropuertos, cines, paradas, oficinas, hoteles y malecon, cada historia revela una forma distinta de la espera, del desencanto y de la busqueda de sentido.Overbooking es tambien un libro sobre el exceso: exceso de recuerdos, de ausencias, de destinos cruzados, de oportunidades perdidas, de vidas que no caben en el espacio que les fue asignado. Como en una reservacion sobrevendida, sus personajes intentan encontrar su lugar en un mundo donde casi siempre hay menos espacio del necesario para el amor, la felicidad, la justicia o la esperanza.Una obra para lectores de narrativa cubana contemporanea, cuentos literarios, historias urbanas, literatura de la diaspora y relatos donde la melancolia, el humor y la inteligencia se combinan con una mirada profundamente humana.

Condition: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 272 | Sprache: Spanisch | Produktart: Bücher | A Cuba, quando la terra che hai sempre chiamato "casa" diventa insufficiente a ospitare sogni, speranze e a rispondere alle necessità, l'unica via da percorrere è il mare. Ed è nel Mare Atlanticum dove navigano storie di cubani che salpano portando con sé solo una piccola valigia di ricordi e un'eterna nostalgia. Racconti di identità perduta e ricostruita, in cui il sogno di libertà si intreccia con la dolce amarezza di un addio lungo, lunghissimo, mai del tutto compiuto.
