Dormir al sol
by Adolfo Bioy CasaresDormir al sol es una novela epistolar. Lucio Bordenave le escribe a su amigo Félix Ramos y le cuenta los momentos vividos desde que conoce a un adiestrador de perros llamado Standle. Lucio Bordenave, un relojero por resignación que aprende ese oficio cuando lo echan de un banco, se desvive por su mujer Diana, cuyo malhumor él atribuye al hecho de no haber podido tener hijos. El inestable clima de la pareja se termina de romper cuando conocen al profesor Standle, un inexpugnable alemán que dirige una escuela para perros. Al igual que el pasaje de Villa Urquiza en el que viven conforma un barrio dentro del barrio, una técnica psiquiátrica novedosa y demasiado eficaz convierte esta aparente novela costumbrista en una historia fantástica, tan laberíntica y fascinante como el mismísimo Parque Chas que, por supuesto, también le sirve de escenario. Alejandro Chomski estrenó la película Dormir al sol en 2012 con Luis Machín como Lucio Bordenave.

The lauded adventures of a young swordsman and his rogue sidekick that also inspired the cult video game Blood Will Tell have never been as accessible.A samurai lord has bartered away his newborn son's organs to forty-eight demons in exchange for dominance on the battlefield. Yet, the abandoned infant survives thanks to a medicine man who equips him with primitive prosthetics - lethal ones with which the wronged son will use to hunt down the multitude of demons to reclaim his body one piece at a time, before confronting his father. On his journeys the young hero encounters an orphan who claims to be the greatest thief in Japan.Like an unforgettable road movie, Dororo reaches deeper than its swashbuckling surface and offers a thoughtful allegory of becoming what one is, for nobody is born whole.

Dorothy Parker would rather wander the famous halls of the Algonquin Hotel, drink in hand, searching for someone, anyone, who will keep her company on this side of eternity.After forty years she thinks she's found the perfect candidate in Ted Shriver, a brilliant literary voice of the 1970s, silenced early in a promising career by a devastating plagiarism scandal. Now a prickly recluse, he hides away in the old hotel slowly dying of cancer, which he refuses to treat. If she can just convince him to sign the infamous guestbook of Percy Coates, Dorothy Parker might be able to persuade the jaded writer to spurn the white light with her. Ted, however, might be the only person living or dead who's more stubborn than Parker, and he rejects her proposal outright. When a young, ambitious TV producer, Norah Wolfe, enters the hotel in search of Ted Shriver, Parker sees another opportunity to get what she wants. Instead, she and Norah manage to uncover such startling secrets about Ted's past that the future changes for all of them.

Dorothy nella Terra dei Mostri (Oz ReVamped #1)
by Garten GevedonMutaforma, zombie e vampiri? Oddio! Mi chiamo Dorothy Gale e penso che potrei essere morta. Quando io e il mio cane Toto siamo stati travolti da un tornado, siamo atterrati all'inferno. Un inferno molto colorato. Come un arcobaleno che gocciola nel sangue. Ora sembra che questo terribile mondo sotterraneo afflitto da vampiri, zombie e mutaforma sarà il luogo della mia dannazione eterna. Dicono che questa terra terrificante chiamata Oz non sia l'inferno o il purgatorio e che la fuga sia possibile, ma prima devo sopravvivere al viaggio lungo la strada di mattoni gialli intrisa di sangue fino all'unico posto di Oz dove i vampiri non osano calpestare: la Città di Smeraldi. Con le scarpe incantate e l'aiuto dei miei tre nuovi amici - un amichevole zombie, un enorme leone mutaforma e un assassino senza cuore che uccide con l'ascia le malvagie creature della notte (che è anche il ragazzo più sexy che abbia mai visto) - Toto e io abbiamo la possibilità di arrivare alla Zona Libera dai Vampiri. Quando ci arriveremo, devo convincere il mago più potente di questa terra magica di mostri a mandarci fuori da questo radioso incubo e tornare nel mondo dei vivi. Dicono che sia spaventoso quanto questa terra mostruosa, che detesta i visitatori e che anche le creature più orribili si rannicchiano in sua presenza. Ma io devo cercarlo. E quando lo troverò, farò tutto il necessario per farmi mandare a casa.
