En la ciudad, hombres y mujeres se aman y se odian; mueren, sobreviven, se deterioran y renacen; sonríen, lloran; se pierden y regresan a través de caminos muchas veces recorridos, o descubren nuevos senderos iluminados por un radiante sol montevideano. La soledad, las dificultades de comunicación, la conciencia de la muerte, la alegría de la vida o el paso del tiempo son algunos de los temas incluidos en estos relatos, que retratan sorprendentes atmósferas de la vida cotidiana. Pocos escritores son capaces de enfrentar al lector con la vida y la muerte de una forma tan delicada, tan humana y al mismo tiempo brutal. Mario Benedetti, uno de los grandes genios de la literatura latinoamericana contemporánea, nos zambulle en el inmenso océano de la existencia, mostrando a través de su mirada lo más íntimo de una realidad cruel, pero siempre esperanzadora.

Munmun: Get Rich, Get Big
by Jesse AndrewsIn an alternate reality a lot like our world, every person’s physical size is directly proportional to their wealth. The poorest of the poor are the size of rats, and billionaires are the size of skyscrapers. Warner and his sister Prayer are destitute—and tiny. Their size is not just demeaning, but dangerous: day and night they face mortal dangers that bigger richer people don’t ever have to think about, from being mauled by cats to their house getting stepped on. There are no cars or phones built small enough for them, or schools or hospitals, for that matter—there’s no point, when no one that little has any purchasing power, and when salaried doctors and teachers would never fit in buildings so small. Warner and Prayer know their only hope is to scale up, but how can two littlepoors survive in a world built against them? A brilliant, warm, funny trip, unlike anything else out there, and a social novel for our time in the tradition of 1984 or Invisible Man. Inequality is made intensely visceral by an adventure and tragedy both hilarious and heartbreaking.

Murder in the First-Class Carriage: The First Victorian Railway Killing
by Kate ColquhounThis story of a real-life Victorian mystery is a &“meticulously researched true-crime account . . . its final revelation is a showstopper&” (The New York Times). In July 1864, Thomas Briggs was traveling home after visiting his niece and her husband for dinner. He boarded a first-class carriage on the 9:45 pm Hackney service of the North London railway. A short time later, two bank clerks entered the compartment and noticed blood pooled in the seat cushions and smeared all over the floor and windows. But there was no sign of Thomas Briggs. All that remained was his ivory-knobbed walking stick, his empty leather bag, and a bloodstained hat that, strangely, did not belong to Mr. Briggs. The race to identify the killer and catch him as he fled on a boat to America was eagerly followed by the public on both sides of the Atlantic. The investigation and subsequent trial became a fixture in New York newspapers—and a frequent distraction from the Civil War that ravaged the nation. In Murder in the First-Class Carriage, Gold Dagger Award nominee Kate Colquhoun tells the gripping tale of a crime that shocked an era. &“A suspenseful, well-paced account of a baffling mystery.&” —The Washington Post &“Deploying her skill as a historian, Colquhoun turns a single curious murder case into a fascinatingly quirky portrait of the underside of mid-Victorian London. I found it unputdownable.&” —Daily Telegraph
