La era del estreñimiento: El laxante está en sus manos

Ni siquiera los grandes visionarios, como Nostradamus o Shakespeare, fueron capaces de vislumbrar la era en la que estamos viviendo: la era del estreñimiento. Una humanidad dividida en dos grandes grupos: «los que pueden» y «los que no pueden». ¿Se refería a esto el bueno de Hamlet cuando pronunciaba su famoso ser o no ser? Sí, sólo que hablaba en una clave que le desvelamos en este libro. Porque usted y yo sabemos que el fin del mundo es llevar siete días sin ir al váter y que solo una diarrea mental justifica que Julio Verne nos hablara del submarino en el siglo XIX. Cagar o no cagar; ésa es la cuestión que condiciona nuestra vida y nuestro futuro. ¿Compraría una casa sin trastero? ¿Se le ha pasado por la cabeza jugar al golf? ¿Sabría ubicar Trinidad y Tobago en un mapa? ¿Sabe cuántas parejas de bidés quedan en libertad? ¿Es capaz de establecer alguna relación entre estas preguntas? Entonces es que está usted estreñido.

Erasure: A Novel

Percival Everett's Erasure is a blistering satire about race and writingThelonious "Monk" Ellison's writing career has bottomed out: his latest manuscript has been rejected by seventeen publishers, which stings all the more because his previous novels have been "critically acclaimed." He seethes on the sidelines of the literary establishment as he watches the meteoric success of We's Lives in Da Ghetto, a first novel by a woman who once visited "some relatives in Harlem for a couple of days." Meanwhile, Monk struggles with real family tragedies—his aged mother is fast succumbing to Alzheimer's, and he still grapples with the reverberations of his father's suicide seven years before. In his rage and despair, Monk dashes off a novel meant to be an indictment of Juanita Mae Jenkins's bestseller. He doesn't intend for My Pafology to be published, let alone taken seriously, but it is—under the pseudonym Stagg R. Leigh—and soon it becomes the Next Big Thing. How Monk deals with the personal and professional fallout galvanizes this audacious, hysterical, and quietly devastating novel.

Erewhon: 150th Anniversary Edition

To celebrate its 150th anniversary, a bold new edition of the utopian/dystopian classic that gave Erewhon its name.

Erewhon: 150th Anniversary Edition

A utopian classic with a rich legacy–influencing authors from Huxley to Herbert and beyond–Erewhon satirizes Victorian society with biting insight still relevant today.When Higgs, a young traveler, stumbles upon the beautiful land of Erewhon, he soon discovers that its seemingly ideal culture is founded upon bizarre, unsettling beliefs. Crime is a sickness, while sickness is a crime; the greatest scholarly achievement is unreason, and all machines have been eliminated for fear of artificial intelligence. In a society that suppresses originality, the traveler and his values are a threat. Torn between escape and Arowhena, the woman he has grown to love, Higgs must contend with Erewhon's strange ways–and with the challenges they pose to his own beliefs. Engaging with the work of Charles Darwin and inspired by the author&’s time in colonial New Zealand, Erewhon is a bright, irreverent, and enduring text about technology, religion, crime, and institutional rigidity. This new edition of the 1872 classic arrives in honor of its 150th anniversary, featuring a brilliant introduction contextualizing the book from one of New Zealand&’s great academic thinkers in science fiction, Dr. Octavia Cade.

Erewhon

Setting out to make his fortune in a far-off country, a young traveller discovers the remote and beautiful land of Erewhon and is given a home among its extraordinarily handsome citizens. But their visitor soon discovers that this seemingly ideal community has its faults - here crime is treated indulgently as a malady to be cured, while illness, poverty and misfortune are cruelly punished, and all machines have been superstitiously destroyed after a bizarre prophecy. Can he survive in a world where morality is turned upside down? Inspired by Samuel Butler's years in colonial New Zealand and by his reading of Darwin's Origin of Species, Erewhon (1872) is a highly original, irreverent and humorous satire on conventional virtues, religious hypocrisy and the unthinking acceptance of beliefs.

Erewhon and Erewhon Revisited: Both By The Original Discoverer Of The Country And By His Son (Dover Thrift Editions: SciFi/Fantasy)

In Erewhon, an anagram for "nowhere," sickness is a punishable crime, criminals receive compassionate medical treatment, and machines are banned, lest they evolve and take over. Originally published in 1872, the proto-steampunk novel Erewhon won its author immediate recognition as a satirist. SamuelButler followed in the tradition of Voltaire and Swift in creating Erewhon and Erewhon Revisited, which are widely recognized as the nineteenth century's most important works of their kind.Entertaining and provocative, these books are unsparing in their treatment of the hypocrisies of Victorian society, taking aim at the family, church, and mechanical "progress." George Orwell, no stranger to the depiction of futuristic societies, noted that at the time of Erewhon's writing the author needed "imagination of a very high order to see that machinery could be dangerous as well as useful." Today's readers will also find the book remarkably prescient in its anticipation of future sociological trends.
