Still Born

<p>Product Description      Still Born is the story of two friends who make diametrically opposite choices in life. Alina and Laura are independent and career-driven women in their mid-thirties, neither of whom have ever built their future around the prospect of a family. Laura has taken the drastic decision to be sterilised, but as time goes by Alina becomes drawn to the idea of becoming a mother. When Alina’s daughter survives childbirth – after a diagnosis that predicted the opposite – and Laura becomes attached to her neighbour’s son, both women are forced to reckon with the complexity of their emotions. With her signature candour and insight, Nettel explores maternal ambivalence with a surgeon’s touch, carefully dissecting the contradictions that make up the lived experiences of women.      Review      ‘Nettel’s sharp, potent novel depicts how even the briefest relationship can affect the rest of a life.’ ― Publishers Weekly, starred review‘A compassionately written portrait of urban loneliness and the human impulse to belong.’ ― Kirkus ‘Guadalupe Nettel is a brilliant anatomist of love and perversity, and each new book is a revelation.’ ― Katie Kitamura‘Nettel’s eye lightly deforms things and gives rise to a tension, subtle but persistent, that immerses us in an uncomfortable reality, disquieting, even disturbing―a gaze that illuminates her prose like an alien sun shining down on our world.’ ― Valeria Luiselli      About the Author      Guadalupe Nettel was born in Mexico in 1973 and grew up between Mexico and France.

LA VITA ALTROVE

Julio Cortazar (Bruselas, 1914-Paris, 1984) Considerado uno de los escritores mas originales, que llevo la lengua espanola a terrenos nunca antes explorados, desperto gran admiracion de sus contemporaneos por la capacidad que tuvo para reinventar el cuento y redefinir los limites de la narrativa. En este ensayo se reconstruyen algunos de los momentos mas significativos en la biografia de este gran escritor y se analizan sus obras principales.
