Stairs to the Roof
By Tennessee Williams, Allean Hale. 2000
A play produced only twice in the 1940s and now published for the first time reveals that Tennessee Williams anticipated…
the themes of Star Trek by decades. Sixty years ago a young Tennessee Williams wrote a play looking toward the year 2001. Stairs to the Roof is a rare and different Williams' work: a love story, a comedy, an experiment in meta-theater, with a touch of early science fiction. Tennessee Williams called Stairs to the Roof "a prayer for the wild of heart who are kept in cages" and dedicated it to "all the little wage earners of the world." It reflects the would-be poet's "season in hell" during the Depression when he had to quit college to type orders eight hours a day at the International Shoe Factory in St. Louis. Stairs is Williams' revenge, expressed through his alter ego, Benjamin Murphy, the clerk who stages a one-man rebellion against the clock, the monotony of his eight-to-five job, and all the dehumanizing forces of an increasingly mechanized and commercial society. Ben's swift-moving series of fantastic adventures culminate in an escape from the ordinary that is an endorsement of the American dream. In 1941 with the world at war and civilization in danger of collapse, Williams dared to imagine a utopian future as Ben leads us up his stairs towards the Millennium. Stairs to the Roof was produced only twice, once at the Playbox in Pasadena, California, in 1945, and subsequently at the Pasadena Playhouse in 1947. Now, in an edition meticulously prepared by noted Williams scholar Allean Hale, Williams fans can share this play of youthful optimism.Tres cuentos gays

spalle, il peso di tutto un mondo di sofferenze e tradimenti.Il suo, un passo lento, di chi non ha fretta di rincorrere il tempo. Il suo bagaglio, dei vecchi cenci ed una vita piena di dolore.Di notte soleva dormire dove la stanchezza la colpiva, ricevendo dall'elemosina della gente qualche pezzo di pane o qualsiasi altra cosa che le potesse calmare la fame.Si ripeteva più di mille volte: "Sarò la madre di mio nipote o la zia di mio figlio", mentre si accarezzava di continuo la pancia, quella pancia che ospitava, fino ai confini dell'amarezza e del peccato, quel feto pietrificato che aveva rinunciato a nascere.»Cyrano de Bergerac: Literary Touchstone Classic (Enriched Classics)

Una conmovedora y luminosa novela sobre la poco probable y, aun así, inquebrantable amistad entre un matón de instituto y…
un chico con síndrome de Down Una adivinanza no tiene sentido la primera vez que la oyes. La amistad entre Dane y Billy D. tampoco: ¿qué tienen en común el matón del instituto y un chico con síndrome de Down? En el caso de Billy y Dane, tienen un mismo problema: Dane no sabe quién es su padre, y Billy está decidido a reencontrarse con el suyo. Su amistad puede llevarlos a descubrir la verdad... ¿pero qué descubrirán sobre sí mismos? Enternecedora y lúcida, Cuando irrumpe lo extraordinario es una inolvidable historia sobre las segundas oportunidades, la amistad y el amor: una celebración de las personas y sucesos impensados que dan un vuelco a nuestras vidas. La crítica ha dicho... «La historia de dos personajes imperfectos y memorables.» Booklist «Dane no es unhéroe ni Billy D. una víctima inocente: Lange es demasiado buena como para eso. Ambos chicos son personas de carne y hueso con la capacidad de divertir, encandilar y enfurecer al lector, cuyas emociones oscilan deliciosamente entre la adoración y las ganas de chocarles la cabeza de uno contra la del otro de pura exasperación.» The GuardianEl Diario de Leione: Como todo debió haber sido.

precio que se paga por cumplirlas. Ocurre todos los años: una lista se expone por toda la escuela, se pega en todos los periódicos murales y casilleros, y es, simplemente, imposible de ignorar. Todo el mundo conoce el juego. En la lista figuran los nombres de las chicas que han sido elegidas como las más bonitas y las más feas de cada año. ¿Elegidas por quién? Nadie sabe. ¿Con qué propósito? A nadie le importa. Lo único crucial es saber quién figura en la lista y si tu nombre aparece en ella. Ésta es la historia de ocho chicas, pues todas ellas han aparecido en la lista de ese año. Cada una de ellas tiene una historia detrás absolutamente diferente, cada quien con una personalidad distinta, una voz propia y miedos, sueños y deseos diferentes, por lo tanto todas tienen su particular reacción a esta experiencia, que lasconfronta con su identidad, autoestima y el juicio de los demás. Las más bonitas o las más feas, da igual, una vez que apareces en la lista, nada vuelve a ser lo mismo. Lo que han dicho otros autores: "Me quedé despierta toda la noche leyendo Una lista peligrosa, una novela del todo absorbente sobre el sistema de castas del bachillerato, sobre la belleza, la juventud, la amistad y las etiquetas. Todos los personajes son divertidos, agudos, románticos, conmovedores y veraces, sin importar qué tan 'lindos' o 'feos' sean". - Melissa de la Cruz, autora de Blue Bloods http://www.megustaleer.com.mx/My Kind of Happy - Part One: A new feel-good, funny serial from the Sunday Times bestseller
