R y Julie
by Isaac Marion«Me llevo una mano al pecho, sobre el corazón. Mi "corazón". ¿Todavía representa algo ese penoso órgano? Permanece inmóvil, sin bombear sangre, sin la más mínima utilidad, y sin embargo mis emociones todavía parecen originarse entre sus frías paredes. ¿Qué me pasa? ¿Me lo estoy imaginando todo? ¿Es un placebo? ¿Una ilusión optimista? En cualquier caso, siento que el encefalograma de mi vida se altera, formando montañas y valles con los latidos de mi corazón.» R es algo peculiar. Intenta pasárselo bien, pero es demasiado sensible y a veces se entristece. Tampoco ayuda que esté muerto, o casi muerto. Se pasa los días vagando por el aeropuerto abandonado donde vive sin saber muy bien qué sentido tiene su existencia. Hasta que conoce a Julie. R y Julie, un guiño moderno al clásico de Shakespeare Romeo y Julieta, es una historia de amor que esconde una fábula acerca de cómo vivimos dormidos, en estado catatónico, hasta que el amor irrumpe en nuestras vidas.

Racconti e disincontri
by Aimar RollanRacconti e disincontri è un libro di racconti brevi su varie tematiche e indipendenti tra loro. 30 racconti brevi, qualcuno più lungo degli altri, altri talmente brevi da potersi considerare micro-fiction o microracconti. Molti di essi trattano di amore e disinnamoramento, di incontri e disincontri, ma ce ne sono anche di filosofici, psicologici, di storia, di fantascienza e di fantasia, così come di realismo con tematiche quotidiane. A priori potrebbe sembrare un libro di stampo romantico, ma è molto di più. La maggior parte dei racconti sono ambientati a Barcellona, dove l’autore ha vissuto nel corso degli anni; altri nel suo Paese Basco natale. Altri ancora in luoghi immaginari. Ogni storia è a sé stante, così come ogni lettore al quale piacerà più una storia rispetto a un’altra, che però sicuramente non risulteranno indifferenti a nessuno. Alcune di queste storie potranno anche convertirsi in futuri romanzi. Lo scopo di questo libro è quello di intrattenere con brevi storie di finzione e anche di trasmettere in ogni racconto un’idea principale che faccia riflettere. Storie per leggere e rileggersi.
