The Plague (9780141185132)

The Plague is Albert Camus's world-renowned fable of fear and courage

The townspeople of Oran are in the grip of a deadly plague, which condemns its victims to a swift and horrifying death. Fear, isolation and claustrophobia follow as they are forced into quarantine. Each person responds in their own way to the lethal disease: some resign themselves to fate, some seek blame, and a few, like Dr Rieux, resist the terror.

An immediate triumph when it was published in 1947, The Plague is in part an allegory of France's suffering under the Nazi occupation, and a story of bravery and determination against the precariousness of human existence.

My Dinner with Andre : A Screenplay (0802130631)

-
Gambar
My Dinner with Andre is a passionate, volatile, and humorous encounter between two friends who have not seen each other for a long time, and decide to catch up on each others' lives over dinner. Andre Gregory is an intense, highly experimental theater director and playwright in search of life's meanings and spiritual revelations. His friend, Wally Shawn, is an actor and playwright living in New York who is more preoccupied with the search for his next meal. As Andre recounts his global journeys involving esoteric theatrical experiments and mystical adventures, Wally listens with more than skepticism, as his attitudes shift among wonder, puzzlement, admiration, and anger. What finally emerges is a sensitive portrait of a friendship that survives and transcends contransting assumptions about love, death, art, and man's continuing quest for self-fulfillment.

ARTE DE TRATAR CON LAS MUJERES, EL (9788420651354)

En "El arte de tratar con las mujeres", Franco Volpi ha recopilado y ordenado una antología de textos y sentencias en las que el feroz misógino que fue Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) expone sus ideas acerca del papel de la mujer en la existencia humana. Volumen proyectado con un espíritu lúdico que respira ya la misma introducción, su contenido resulta hoy, afortunadamente, un risible catálogo de consejos destinados a prevenir al varón frente a la ardua relación con el bello sexo o un repertorio de resentidas invectivas más motivo de curiosidad que otra cosa. Dependiendo del lector, sus líneas políticamente incorrectas moverán sin duda a sonrisa o a indignación. Sea una u otra, conviene, sin embargo, no perder de vista que el fondo que subyace tras muchas de estas sentencias es el que ha nutrido hasta hace muchos menos años de los que podríamos suponer buena parte de los pensamientos masculinos, y que posiblemente en muchos casos aún lo sigue haciendo.
