Resumen del Editor
«Esta sobresaliente colección de relatos muestra el poder y el alcance de uno de los mejores escritores del siglo pasado. Historias de amor y miseria, que incluyen obras maestras como "El nadador" o "Adiós, hermano" y que fechan de su salida del ejército al final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.»
The Guardian
Los cuentos de John Cheever son el gran testimonio literario de la clase media estadounidense de los años cincuenta y sesenta. Conocido como «el Chéjov norteamericano», fue el gran cronista de ese territorio casi mitológico de las zonas residenciales a las afueras de las grandes ciudades, con sus fiestas de cóctel y piscina, sus despertares de periódico en la puerta, sombrero, maletín y beso a los niños, tardes con cuartetos de Benny Goodman en la radio y noches enteras anhelando una vida distinta. Cheever convirtió con maestría ese espejismo de éxito y felicidad en el escenario de glorias y penas de familias que, entre la frustración, el deseo y el tedio, conforman un retrato incomparable del alma humana que transciende cualquier época o país.
Esta edición incluye un epílogo de Rodrigo Fresán y mantiene la selección del propio Cheever, merecedora tras su publicación en 1978 del Premio Pulitzer y el National Book Critics Circle. Recorriendo una trayectoria de casi tres décadas, contiene relatos tan emblemáticos como «El nadador», retrato onírico de un hombre a la deriva, o «El marido rural», novela en miniatura según Nabokov cuyo protagonista sobrevive a un accidente de avión y vuelve a casa ante la indiferencia total de su familia.
Cheever, que luchó toda su vida contra la adicción al alcohol y contra una bisexualidad reprimida, demostró conocer a la perfección los estragos que causan las pasiones más ocultas cuando explotan sin apenas ruido. En plena oscuridad supo encontrar destellos en las existencias más apagadas, débiles rayos de luz que en sus manos acababan alumbrando una vida entera.
Críticas:
«John Cheever es un realista con magia, y su voz, en sus luminosos relatos, es tan rica y distintiva como las principales voces de la literatura estadounidense de posguerra.»
Philip Roth
«A menudo se habla de Cheever como un escritor de los barrios residenciales, pero muchos han escrito sobre ello. Solo él fue capaz de convertirlos en un arquetipo.»
John Updike
«Supongo que querrán caracterizar sus relatos como chejovianos, o decir que Cheever es menos sombrío que Carver, más amplio, irónico y alegre que Hemingway. Pero al final siempre será enteramente él mismo, calculando y equilibrando cada frase hasta decir lo correcto y, todavía más a menudo, elevándose hasta situar el tren de lo diario sobre las vías de lo político.»

Historia
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Historia
The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Historia
This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

Historia
It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

Jason must gather a band of companions if he is to stand a chance against the best the world has to offer.
