Chevengur
by Andrey PlatonovChevengur is a revolutionary novel about revolutionary ardor and despair. Zakhar Pavlovich comes from a world of traditional crafts to work as a train mechanic, motivated by his belief in the transformative power of industry. His adopted son, Sasha Dvanov, embraces revolution, which will transform everything: the words we speak and the lives we live, souls and bodies, the soil underfoot and the sun overhead. Seeking communism, Dvanov joins up with Stepan Kopionkin, a warrior for the cause whose steed is the fearsome cart horse Strength of the Proletariat. Together they cross the steppe, encountering counterrevolutionaries, desperados, and visionaries of all kinds. At last they reach the isolated town of Chevengur. There communism is believed to have been achieved because everything that is not communism has been eliminated. And yet even in Chevengur the revolution recedes from sight. Comic, ironic, grotesque, disturbingly poetic in its use of language, and profoundly sorrowful, Chevengur—here published in a new English translation based on the most authoritative Russian text—is the most ambitious of the extraordinary novels that the great Andrey Platonov wrote in the 1920s and 1930s, when Soviet Russia was moving from revolutionary euphoria to state terror.

La chica con pies de cristal
by Ali ShawCon esta bella, singular y exquisitamente triste fábula sobre el amor, el escritor británico Ali Shaw ha visto como su primera novela se convertía en un hallazgo literario. Extraños sucesos ocurren en el remoto archipiélago de Saint Hauda. Criaturas de una rara belleza sobrevuelan la marisma helada y animales albinos encuentran refugio en los bosques, mientras las medusas iluminan con destellos eléctricos el oscuro fondo del mar. Tras unas breves vacaciones en una de las islas, la joven Ida Maclaird descubre que sus pies se están volviendo de cristal. Alarmada, Ida regresa a Saint Hauda en busca de una explicación a este fenómeno. Allí se encuentra con Midas Crook, un fotógrafo tímido y solitario, con quien vivirá una historia de amor tan hermosa como urgente, pues la metamorfosis de Ida avanza inexorable. Sin embargo, la apasionada determinación de la joven choca con la aparente parsimonia de la vida en Saint Hauda, donde cada personaje parece esconder oscuros secretos, relacionados entre sí como nudos de una complicada madeja. Inspirado por los célebres relatos de Hans Christian Andersen, marcados por la pérdida y el sentido de la fatalidad, Ali Shaw ha escrito un libro rebosante de imaginación que sumerge al lector en un mundo fascinante donde realidad y fantasía se conjugan en una historia inolvidable.

La chica mecánica
by Paolo BacigalupiLa chica mecánica de Paolo Bacigalupi es la novela que ha renovado el género de la ciencia ficción de los últimos años. Bienvenidos al siglo XXII Anderson Lake es el hombre de confianza de AgriGen en Tailandia, un reino cerrado a los extranjeros para proteger sus preciadas reservas ecológicas. Su empleo como director de una fábrica es en realidad una tapadera. Anderson peina los puestos callejeros de Bangkok en busca del botín más preciado para sus amos: los alimentos que la humanidad creía extinguidos. Entonces encuentra a Emiko... Emiko es una «chica mecánica», el último eslabón de la ingeniería genética. Como los demás neoseres a cuya raza pertenece, fue diseñada para servir. Acusados por unos de carecer de alma, por otros de ser demonios encarnados, los neoseres son esclavos, soldados o, en el caso de Emiko, juguetes sexuales para satisfacer a los poderosos en un futuro inquietantemente cercano... ...donde las personas nuevamente han de recordar qué es lo que las hace humanas.
