Al paraíso book cover
Al paraíso
A Novel
Hanya Yanagihara - 2022-01-11
Calificación de Goodreads
En una versión alternativa de la América de 1893, Nueva York forma parte de los Estados Libres, donde el matrimonio homosexual está permitido. Un muchacho de familia distinguida se debate entre casarse con un pretendiente elegido por su abuelo o escoger a un profesor de música con pocos recursos de quien está enamorado. En un Manhattan de 1993 asediado por «la enfermedad», un joven hawaiano vive con su pareja, cuya edad e ingresos superan con creces los suyos, y le oculta su infancia problemática y el destino de su padre. Y en 2093, en un mundo asolado por plagas y gobernado por un estado totalitario, un poderoso científico y su familia intentan encontrar las estrategias necesarias para sobrevivir sin perderse unos a otros por el camino. Como en una sinfonía fascinante e ingeniosa, estas tres partes conforman una novela monumental, histórica y distópica en la que el amor parece imposible y, sin embargo, los protagonistas, con sus limitaciones y secretos, se obstinan en buscarlo como único modo de llegar al paraíso.

La elegancia del erizo book cover
La elegancia del erizo
Muriel Barbery - 2008-09-02 (publicado por primera vez en 2006)
Calificación de Goodreads
En el número 7 de la calle Grenelle, un inmueble burgués de París, nada es lo que parece. Dos de sus habitantes esconden un secreto. Renée, la portera, lleva mucho tiempo fingiendo ser una mujer común. Paloma tiene doce años y oculta una inteligencia extraordinaria. Ambas llevan una vida solitaria, mientras se esfuerzan por sobrevivir y vencer la desesperanza. La llegada de un hombre misterioso al edificio propiciará el encuentro de estas dos almas gemelas. Juntas, Renée y Paloma descubrirán la belleza de las pequeñas cosas. Invocarán la magia de los placeres efímeros e inventarán un mundo mejor. La elegancia del erizo es un pequeño tesoro que nos revela cómo alcanzar la felicidad gracias a la amistad, el amor y el arte. Mientras pasamos las páginas con una sonrisa, las voces de Renée y Paloma tejen, con un lenguaje melodioso, un cautivador himno a la vida. Muriel Barbery se ha convertido en la revelación literaria en Francia. Su ternura y originalidad le han valido el Premio de los Libreros, el reconocimiento de la crítica y el cariño del público, que la ha situado en las listas de los libros más vendidos durante un año. «Un cuento moderno, refrescante e inteligente», Le Figaro; «La nostalgia atemporal de Marcel Proust y el frescor de Philippe Delerm… Divertida, inteligente… aérea como un haiku», L’Express; «Decir que Muriel Barbery tiene talento es quedarse corto… Tiene un humor devastador», Le Nouvel Observateur.

Tan poca vida book cover
Tan poca vida
Hanya Yanagihara - 2015-03-10
Calificación de Goodreads
Para saber... Qué dicen y qué callan los hombres, De dónde viene y adónde va la culpa, Cuánto importa el sexo, A quién podemos llamar amigo, Y finalmente... Qué precio tiene la vida cuando ya no tiene valor. Para descubrir eso y más, aquí está Tan poca vida, una historia que recorre más de tres décadas de amistad en la vida de cuatro hombres que crecen juntos en Manhattan. Cuatro hombres que tienen que sobrevivir al fracaso y al éxito y que, a lo largo de los años, aprenden a sobreponerse a las crisis económicas, sociales y emocionales. Cuatro hombres que comparten una idea muy peculiar de la intimidad, una manera de estar juntos hecha de pocas palabras y muchos gestos. Cuatro hombres cuya relación la autora utiliza para realizar una minuciosa indagación de los límites de la naturaleza humana.
