O novo romance de Manuel Vilas, depois do êxito estrondoso de Em tudo havia beleza FINALISTA DO PRÉMIO PLANETA "Uma…
crónica da celebração vital, da procura da verdade e da beleza entre os estilhaços do medo." El País O novo romance de Manuel Vilas, depois de Em tudo havia beleza, que comoveu milhares de leitores. Uma história escrita a partir do coração da memória. Uma busca esperançada da alegria. "Tudo aquilo que amámos e perdemos, que amámos imensamente, que amámos sem saber que um dia nos seria roubado, tudo aquilo que, após a sua perda, não conseguiu destruir-nos - embora tenha insistido com forças sobrenaturais e procurado a nossa ruína com crueldade e afinco -, acaba, mais tarde ou mais cedo, transformado em alegria." Desde o coração das suas memórias, um homem que arrasta tantos anos de passado como ilusões de futuro, recorre às suas recordações para iluminar a sua história. A história de um filho que tem de aprender a viver sem os pais, e de um pai que precisa de aceitar a viver mais longe dos filhos. Uma história que por vezes dói, mas que sempre acompanha. Neste romance, a meio caminho entre a ficção e a confissão, o protagonista viaja pelo mundo e pelas suas memórias. É uma viagem com duas faces: a face pública, em que o protagonista-autor encontra os seus leitores; e o lado íntimo, em que aproveita cada momento de solidão para procurar a sua verdade. Uma verdade que começa a despontar - dolorosa e inesperadamente - depois da morte dos pais, do divórcio, do afastamento do vício. Uma verdade que ganha novos matizes à medida que toma forma uma nova vida ao lado de um novo amor, uma vida em que os filhos se transformam na pedra angular sobre a qual gira a necessidade inadiável de encontrar a felicidade. Ou a alegria. Os elogios da crítica: «Um hino em prosa com embrulho de poesia. Mais do que uma continuação de Em tudo havia beleza, este livro é a maturação de uma voz poderosamente construída. É uma crónica da celebração vital, da procura da verdade e da beleza entre os estilhaços do medo. Juntos, estes dois livros formam um díptico autobiográfico desarmante e comovente, em forma de rapsódia do amor, da dor e da culpa.» Jordi Gracia, Babelia, El País «A busca de uma verdade íntima e pessoal colocou Manuel Vilas nesse lugar raro dos escritores literários que sabem falar às pessoas de tu para tu." El Periódico "E, de repente, a alegria é um livro poético e electrizante, que não é propriamente uma sequela de Em tudo havia beleza, mas sim um novo e duro olhar sobre o mundo. Uma dignificação da dor, da perda e dos processos que nos impelem a seguir em frente. Há algo solar neste livro. Há algo curador.» Joaquín Pérez Azaústre, La esfera de papel,El Mundo «Um livro magistral, difícil, fácil, eloquente, complexo, admirável na sua simplicidade enfurecida, contraditoriamente elementar e sábio, enorme, terno e sombrio: tudo isso é para mim E de repente a alegria, de Manuel Vilas.» José Luis Ibáñez Salas, La Nueva Tribuna «Vilas começou a utilizar as palavras para se desnudar e não para se cobrir. A resposta foi unânime. Estava ali um ser humano e os leitores identificaram-se e choraram com ele. Porque é isso que faz um escritor, descrever o que todos vêem mas ninguém consegue ou se atreve a dizer. Alguém se atreve a falar de alegria em tempos convulsos como os que vivemos hoje? Vilas tem essa coragem.» Carlos Sala, La Razón «Um livro que invade como uma catarata as fibras mais íntimas do leitor, e que nelas mexe e remexe sem piedade. Quase impúdico, Vilas despe de novo a sua alma(#) envolve-nos como um remoinho. Arrasta-nos no seu furacão emocional. VivemosBy Clara Kong. 2016

El retrobament de dos homes (i una germana) que han convertit la seva vida en una mentida, i que son…
amics des de la infància. L'Àngel i en Pol són dos amics d'infantesa que als dotze anys van viure un esdeveniment que els va marcar les vides. Ara fa uns anys que no es veuen -des que en Pol se'n va anar a viure a Nova York, després de descobrir un secret familiar relacionat amb aquell episodi de la infància-, tot i que s'han anat comunicant per correu electrònic. Però un dia l'Àngel rep un missatge d'en Pol en què l'informa que ha de venir uns dies a Barcelona, i li demana si es pot estar al seu pis, que ja havien compartit de joves. El retrobament posarà de manifest que el dia a dia dels dos amics no és tan perfecte com s'havien explicat des de la distància. Per molt que s'esforcin a dissimular, el castell de mentides en què han convertit les seves vides s'esfondrarà i, quan hagin caigut totes les màscares, s'adonaran que el secret per encarar el futur cal buscar-lo en el passat: encara poden ser ells.By Julián Rodríguez. 2020
Novela de introspección impregnada de sentimiento, de anécdota y de reflexión. Esta novela, que pretende hacer de la intensidad uno…
de sus personajes principales, trata del presente, del pasado y del futuro, aunque todo, al llegar al final, parece haberse consumado ya. Sin embargo, no es este un libro elegíaco: más bien podría haberse escrito contra cualquier tipo de melancolía. Aunque tal vez esta antimelancolía sea una forma más de camuflaje, del que se sirve para ocultarse y mostrarse al mismo tiempo su protagonista, un hombre todavía joven que ha vivido siempre entre dos mundos muy diferentes, que pueden cifrarse en dos imágenes también distintas: un pueblo del interior y una playa en verano. O mejor: un huerto y un campo de golf. En esa dicotomía nace y se desarrolla esta novela, que unas veces se convierte en una canción de Thalia Zedek y otras en un toque de tránsito, y que, por encima de todo, como en una película de Rohmer, trata de un verano cualquiera, de una semana cualquiera, cuando ya se ha vivido mucho a pesar de la juventud, o cuando una parte de esa vida comienza a desaparecer inexorablemente.By George Orwell. 2020
Edición especial para escuelas de este clásico del siglo XX.Incluye material didáctico a cargo de Maribel Cruzado Soria. Un rotundo…
alegato a favor de la libertad y en contra del totalitarismo. Esta sátira de la Revolución rusa y el triunfo del estalinismo, escrita en 1945, se ha convertido en un hito de la cultura contemporánea y en uno de los libros más mordaces de todos los tiempos. En la revuelta que llevan a cabo los animales de la Granja Solariega pronto detectamos las semillas del totalitarismo; y en sus líderes más carismáticos, la sombra de los opresores que definieron el pasado siglo. La guía de lectura brinda todas las pautas necesarias para estudiar la dimensión política de la obra así como su factura literaria. La crítica ha dicho:«Una obra literaria perfecta.»T.S. Elliot «George Orwell es un hombre con extraordinario sentido moral y con un enorme respeto por la justicia y la verdad.»Evelyn Waugh «El libro que todo el mundo, toda la gente de a pie, debería leer. No ha perdido un ápice de lucidez en cincuenta años.»Ruth Rendell «Casi antes que nadie él comprendió que la corrupción de las palabras es un síntoma y a la vez la causa de la corrupción del pensamiento.»Antonio Muñoz Molina «Desde Los viajes de Gulliver no se ha escrito una parábola tan profunda, mordiente y satírica como Rebelión en la granja.»Arthur Koestler «Un intelectual radicalmente independiente cuya obra es de una claridad moral insobornable.»Guillermo Altares, El PaísBy Betty Brock. 1970
