Dibujos de Hiroshima

La máquina de imaginar cosas es un cuento infantil que ayudará a niños y adultos a desempolvar su capacidad de asombro. Ilustrado por el gran artista argentino Cristian Turdera y escrito por uno de los autores chilenos más consolidados, Marcelo Simonetti.

Nos encontramos frente a una cuidada selección de doce cuentos en los que Uribe Armijo, con una rara perfección estilística, da origen a un libro entretenido y a la vez perturbador, en donde lo fantástico, irrumpiendo desde oscuros rincones de lo cotidiano, nos estimula a plantearnos otras perspectivas -todas distintas; ninguna definitiva- para tratar de entender aquello tan inapreciable que llamamos realidad.

From his village in post-war France, Brodeck makes his solitary journeys into the mountains to collect data on the natural environment. Day by day he also reconstructs his own life, all but lost in the years he spent in a camp during the war. No-one had expected to see him again. One day, a flamboyant stranger rides into the village, upsetting the fragile balance of everyday life. Soon he is named the Anderer, "the other," and tensions rise until, one night, the newcomer is murdered. Brodeck is instructed to write an account of the events leading to his death, but his report delivers much...

Un hombre con una misión... El policía Flynn O'Rourke juró que llevaría al asesino de su hermana ante la justicia. Así pues, cuando identificó como sospechoso a Aaron Cragun, Flynn alquiló un barco y se puso rumbo al remoto hogar de aquel hombre.

At the center of this novel are two women—worlds apart, yet neighbors—who come together by chance in a neighborhood pharmacy. Janna, a middle-aged contemporary woman is the editor of a women's magazine. She is good at her work and her life seems to her a success. Then there is Maudie, skinny, rag-and-bone tattered and in her late eighties, she is a bundle of ferocity who has spent the last years sustaining herself on pride, and expressing that pride as a cat’s hissing anger. This strong and affecting novel traces the friendship of these wildly disparate women.
