[Spanish] - El Amor de Magdalena

El amor de Magdalena es un texto sorprendentemente fresco y vibrante de la mística francesa del siglo XVII. Con palabras muy cálidas y audaces presenta el amor de María Magdalena por Jesús y de Jesús por ella. Se trata del amor entre dos naturalezas, la divina y la humana, y de ahí que su figura se la asocie al final del texto con la Iglesia, que es toda la humanidad convocada al encuentro con Dios y a la unión con Él.

[Spanish] - El lunar

Audiolibro narrado en castellano. Louis-Charles-Alfred de Musset (1810 - 1857) escritor, poeta y dramaturgo francés del romanticismo. Con su primera colección de poemas, Contes d’Espagne et d’Italie (1829) se convirtió en uno de los primeros escritores románticos; apenas tenía diecinueve años. Idealista y libertino, melancólico y alegre, introvertido y cínico con un porte aristocrático. Murió mientras dormía en París, con 46 años de insuficiencia cardiaca. El lunar nos narra la historia de un caballero locamente enamorado y cuyo único objetivo es acceder a lugares y posiciones sociales imposibles por el amor puro y sincero que siente hacia Mademoiselle de Annebault. Con estilo y análisis muy depurado de cada personaje; nos traslada de forma impecable a la corte de Luis XV. “Hay gentes que piensan que el amor no es sino una especie de perfume; cierto que la flor que lo exhala es la más bella de la creación.” Alfred de Musset (1810-1857)

[Spanish] - La mula y el buey: Un cuento de navidad

'La mula y el buey' es un conmovedor cuento navideño de Benito Pérez Galdós en el que el autor juega con el contraste entre la felicidad de esas fechas, sobre todo para los más pequeños, y el dolor de una familia por la pérdida de su pequeña hija. Una historia triste pero impregnada de ilusión y esperanza cristianas que nos propone acercarnos a quienes viven la Navidad desde la pérdida y la ausencia. El autor combina también con maestría y originalidad un realismo naturalista con elementos sobrenaturales y fantásticos. 'La mula y el buey' es un cuento de Navidad y, a la vez, mucho más que un cuento de Navidad. Diseño de portada: David Rubiales 'La mula y el buey' is a touching Christmas story by Benito Pérez Galdós in which the author plays with the contrast between the happiness of these dates, especially for the little ones, and the pain of a family for the loss of their little daughter. A sad story but impregnated with Christian illusion and hope that proposes us to approach those who live Christmas from the loss and absence. The author also combines with mastery and originality a naturalistic realism with supernatural and fantastic elements. 'La mula y el buey' is a Christmas tale and, at the same time, much more than a Christmas tale. Cover art design: David Rubiales

[Spanish] - El viejo del Paseo de los Ingleses

'El viejo del paseo de los ingleses' es una emotiva novela breve de Vicente Blasco Ibáñez que cuenta, a su vez, muchas historias. Con la capacidad del autor para describir ambientes y caracteres, asistimos a una historia de amor, a la vida de la alta sociedad europea de principios del siglo XX, a la desaparición de la Rusia zarista con todos sus excesos e injusticias, a los primeros años de la revolución bolchevique, y a los ecos que todo ello tiene en las orillas del Mediterráneo, en la Costa Azul. A través de Fedor Ipatief, un personaje frívolo y tierno al que la historia ha dejado varado como un verdadero fósil de épocas pasadas, la narración nos deja melancólico testimonio, con una cierta ironía, de un mundo que quizá no nos resulte tan extraño, y de las vidas de muchas personas tan anónimas como reales, que encuentran su eco en la ficción de Blasco Ibáñez. Diseño de portada: David Rubiales Suárez. 'El viejo del paseo de los ingleses' is an emotional short novel by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez with many stories inside. With the author's ability to describe environments and characters, we witness a love story, the life of European high society in the early twentieth century, the demise of Tsarist Russia with all its excesses and injustices, the early years of the Bolshevik revolution, and the echoes that all this has on the shores of the Mediterranean, on the Côte d'Azur. Through Fedor Ipatief, a frivolous and tender character whom history has left stranded as a true fossil of past times, the narration leaves us a melancholic testimony, with a certain irony, of a world that perhaps is not so alien to us, and of the lives of many people as anonymous as they are real, who find their echo in Blasco Ibáñez's fiction.
