La mujer que disparó a Mussolini

Autor: Frances Stonor Saunders

Número de Páginas: 436

A las once de la mañana del 7 de abril de 1926, una mujer salió de la multitud en la Plaza del Campidoglio de Roma. A menos de un paso delante de ella, se detenía Benito Mussolini. Al levantar el brazo para hacer el saludo fascista, la mujer levantó la suya y le disparó a quemarropa. Mussolini escapó ileso por muy poco, la bala apenas le había rozado. Animado por todo el mundo, pudo continuar la marcha fascista. Esta es la asombrosa historia jamás contada de Violet Gibson, la mujer que trató de detener el ascenso del fascismo y cambiar el curso de la historia. Violet fue arrestada, etiquetada como "solterona irlandesa con problemas mentales", y enviada a un asilo mental inglés donde murió en 1956. Esta elegante obra de reconstrucción biográfica, a través de una narrativa llena de suspense, conspiración y diplomacia, recupera la notable figura de Gibson de los registros históricos perdidos. Desde su aristocrática juventud en la élite de Dublín, entre bailes de debutantes y presentaciones en la corte, hasta su compromiso con las ideas fundamentales de la época, como el pacifismo, el misticismo o el socialismo. Pero sobre todo, analiza su menospreciado papel en el ...

Alfred y Emily

Autor: Doris Lessing

Número de Páginas: 230

La vida no solo es lo que tenemos entre manos, sino lo que hubiera podido ser, pero son pocos los grandes autores que pueden cambiar el pasado con éxito, utilizando la escritura como herramienta vital. Doris Lessing ha querido rendir un homenaje a sus padres, imaginando qué hubiera sido de su vida si la Primera Guerra Mundial no hubiese truncado elporvenir de la joven pareja. El peso del conflicto fue como un castigo que planeó sobre la pequeña Doris desde su infancia, « Aquí estoy intentando escapar de esta monstruosa herencia, intentando ser libre », escribe la autora. Paraconseguirlo, en la primera parte del libro Lessing inventa para sus padres una vida donde no hubiera existido la guerra, y en la segunda cuenta cómo fue su vida en realidad, primero en Inglaterra y luego en África, intercalando en las páginas del texto unas viejas fotos familiares. « Si ahora pudiera conocer a Alfred y Emily sin la pesadilla de la guerra, creo que estarían contentos de la vida que he imaginado para ellos » , acaba diciendo Lessing en estas páginas. Ficción y autobiografía a la vez, acertada amalgama de imaginación y recuerdos, la novela más reciente de esta gran narradora...

The Widow

Autor: Fiona Barton

Número de Páginas: 0

A loving husband or a heartless killer...she'd know, wouldn't she? There's a lot Jean hasn't said over the years about the crime her husband was suspected of committing. She was busy being the perfect wife, standing by her man while living with accusing glares and anonymous harassment. Now her husband is dead, and there's no reason to stay quiet. People want to hear her story. They want to know what it was like living with that man. She can tell them there were secrets. There always are in a marriage. The truth--that's all anyone wants. But the one lesson Jean has learned in the last few years is that she can make people believe anything. For the reporter who has secured the exclusive interview, this is the scoop of a lifetime. For the detective who has lived a half-life since he failed to get justice for the victim, it is a chance to get at the truth that has eluded him for so long. For Jean, it's a chance to defend herself, what she knew--and when. This is the tale of a missing child, narrated by the wife of the main suspect, the detective leading the hunt, and the journalist covering the case. It's a brilliantly ominous, psychologically acute portrait of a marriage in...

Los inadaptados de Tim Burton

Autor: Javier Figuero Espadas

Número de Páginas: 298

Tim Burton es uno de los cineastas más insólitos del cine actual. Los protagonistas de sus películas son desarraigados, introvertidos, melancólicos, outsiders, viven una dualidad existencial entre su mundo interior y la realidad exterior. Sus personajes reflejan las experiencias del director durante su infancia, adolescencia y también a lo largo de su vida adulta, especialmente en el ámbito profesional. De pequeño, Burton vivió aislado, encerrado en su habitación, donde veía películas de terror y dibujaba seres monstruosos. De mayor, él siempre se ha considerado un director ajeno a la industria de Hollywood: forma parte de ese entramado cinematográfico pero se siente extraño en él. El libro que ahora tienes en tus manos estudia el cine de Tim Burton desde la perspectiva de su outsider protagonista, atendiendo especialmente a sus películas más emblemáticas y personales.

Tim Burton por Tim Burton

Autor: Mark Salisbury

«Aunque he surgido del sistema de estudios, la verdad es que no tengo esa sensación, ni creo que la tenga la gente de los estudios; a veces me miran con cara como de preocupación, preocupación por qué es lo que quiero hacer. Pero también hay una enorme fuerza en eso, está muy bien trabajar dentro de ese sistema y luego acercarte a las cosas como quieres. Tiene una especie de encanto perverso». Tim Burton "Nunca he visto a nadie tan inadaptado adaptarse tan bien. A su manera." Johnny Depp Creador de la gótica y oscura serie Batman, del cuento urbano-fantástico Eduardo Manostijeras, o de la biografía del peor director de la historia del cine Ed Wood, Tim Burton es hoy por hoy una de las pocas personalidades de Hollywood que parece realizar el viejo sueño de la alianza entre arte e industria. La dualidad, la realidad que se encuentra bajo las máscaras, la necesidad de recomponerse, el «costurón» de Catwoman, el rechazo de la literalidad y el gusto por dar la vuelta a los estereotipos son algunos de los temas tratados en las conversaciones recogidas en esta edición totalmente actualizada, con nuevas entrevistas, fotografías y dibujos originales.

Paddy's Puzzle

Autor: Fiona Kidman

Número de Páginas: 240

An internationally acclaimed novel, the Kirkus Reviews wrote, ‘Shrewdly balanced between earthy tenderness and the dreadful trauma of disillusionment: a grave yet limber narrative - and a very welcome import.’ In a strange old building referred to as Paddy's Puzzle, Clara Bentley endures the fears of wartime and awaits the arrival of her lover, Ambrose. He's an American Marine. And he's black. Having grown up in suburban Hamilton, her move to Auckland marks an escape from the dreariness and restrictions of her childhood. In this building, full of an odd assortment of people, she waits, not just for Ambrose, but for the air-raid siren, for the culmination of her illness and for the sister to whom she dreads having to explain her new life in the Puzzle. The novel was shortlisted for the New Zealand Book Awards. The San Francisco Chronicle commented: ‘The supple flow of Kidman’s language is a pleasure to read. She’s particularly alive to the sudden swelling of emotion just below the surface of a carefully worded conversation. And she tosses off startlingly true images in the most offhand manner.’

Abandoned by her young mother, unsure of her father’s identity, and raised by her prominent aunt and uncle, thirty-year-old Fiona Range has developed a high threshold for emotional pain.

Alienated from relatives and friends but determined to change, Fiona turns to the men in her life—among them, cruel and unstable Patrick Grady, who denies she is his daughter. When her gentle cousin Elizabeth arrives home with fiancé in tow, it sparks a storm where past mistakes and current passions collide.
