Имя Дафны Дюморье (1907–1989) мир узнал в 1938 году, после выхода в свет романа «Ребекка», седьмой по счету книги молодой английской писательницы.

Title: [Spanish] - Cuentos completos

Author: Roberto Bolaño

Narrator: Santiago Maurig, Randolfo Barrionuevo, Alejandro Vargas-Lugo

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 26 hours 21 minutes

Release date: September 21, 2023

Genres: Literary Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

Todos los relatos de uno de los más importantes escritores contemporáneos en español. «Roberto Bolaño no escribió libros sino una obra total, un campo minado de referencias, un sistema literario que estos cuentos extraordinarios, leídos en conjunto, vienen a completar.» Del prólogo de Lina Meruane Los cuentos de Bolaño condensan todo su universo literario, uno de los más rupturistas y personales de la creación en español: la literatura, la sexualidad, lo cotidiano y lo extraordinario, la rebeldía de los que viven en el límite de la marginalidad, el viaje como huida y como forma de vida, la juventud, la violencia, las tramas policiales y el arte como obsesión. Salvo «El contorno del ojo» -hasta hoy solo publicado en 1983 en un volumen colectivo-, el resto de los relatos aparecieron originalmente en Putas asesinas, El gaucho insufrible, Llamadas telefónicas y El secreto del mal. Pero aquí, reunidos todos, cada uno de ellos se enriquece y adquiere un significado diferente en el diálogo que establece con los demás. Reseñas: «Fue un escritor experimental que inventó formas nuevas y fue una voz muy independiente y muy crítica.» Mario Vargas Llosa «De Roberto Bolaño me gusta todo, sus grandes, inmensas novelas, pero también los relatos cortos.» Pedro Almodóvar «Bolaño ha probado que la literatura lo puede todo.» Jonathan Lethem «Un escritor muy notable, uno de los mejores de su generación.» Jorge Edwards «Uno de los autores más respetados e influyentes de su generación [...]. Al mismo tiempo divertido y, en cierto sentido, intensamente aterrador.» John Banville, The Nation «Siempre vuelvo a los cuentos de Bolaño. Misterio, emoción, inteligencia. Un festín.» Javier Giner, La Vanguardia «Su lenguaje vigilante y lleno de gracia, su manera de construir unos textos a la vez desconcertantes, brillantes e infinitamente próximos, es una forma de resistir al mal, a la adversidad, a la mediocridad.» Raphaëlle Rerolle, Le Monde «Consigue fácilmente lo que otros escritores apenas han tocado: hablar sobre el destino de las vanguardias estéticas y políticas después del fin de la utopía humana.» Andreas Breitenstein

Narrator: кирилл пирогов, мария орлова

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 14 minutes

Release date: September 20, 2023

Genres: Literary Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

«Мистер Уайлдер и я» — это нежная история взросления и интимный портрет одной из самых интригующих фигур кинематографа, режиссера таких фильмов, как «В джазе только девушки», «Квартира» и «Бульвар Сансет». Джонатан Коу изучает природу славы и времени, семьи и соблазнительной, но опасной ностальгии. Пьянящим летом 1977 года наивная девушка по имени Калиста отправляется из Афин в большой мир. На греческом острове, превращенном в съемочную площадку, Калиста начинает работать на знаменитого голливудского режиссера Билли Уайлдера, о котором она почти ничего не знает. Однако время, которое она проведет в этой новой, незнакомой ей жизни, полной гламура и сияния софитов, изменит ее навсегда. В то время как Калиста охвачена восторгом от новых приключений, сам Уайлдер пребывает в унынии: его не отпускает чувство, что апогей его режиссерской славы давно позади. Отвергнутый Голливудом, Уайлдер снимает свой новый фильм на немецкие деньги, и когда Калиста отправляется вслед за ним в Мюнхен, она попадает в самое сердце его темной семейной истории, уходящей корнями в Германию.

Title: The Last of the California Girls

Author: Pamela Jekel

Narrator: Scott Ellis

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 13 hours 55 minutes

Release date: September 18, 2023

Genres: Literary Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

The Last of the California Girls is a Sixties romp through Southern California and the story of one man's obsession with the quintessential California girl She is all blond, beautiful motion; tanned and lithe, she represents freedom, youth, and a playful sexuality that is at once seductive and dangerous to a man's soul. The California girl became a national fantasy in the Sixties, a myth that embodied every daydream, set to the rhythm of a Beach Boys anthem. The story is told in the first person by David Levine, a Jewish New Yorker. In 1965, at the beginning of his senior year in high school, he moves with his family to the San Fernando Valley in Southern California. David is appalled. He belonged on a subway, not a surfboard. He meets Sherry Gentry, the cheerleader queen of the Valley, with blond hair floating to her waist, who drove a baby blue MG convertible and lived in a sprawling stucco hacienda with a red tile roof. The Last of the California Girls is a doomed love story set in the fading colors of the mythic Sixties.

Title: Thomas Hardy Bundle

Narrator: The Ark, Geoffrey Giuliano

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 45 hours 48 minutes

Release date: September 17, 2023

Genres: Literary Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

'Jude the Obscure' follows the life of Jude Fawley, a working-class young man with dreams of pursuing education at the university. The story delves into themes of class, education, marriage, and the constraints of societal norms. Jude's relentless pursuit of knowledge and his tumultuous relationships, particularly with his cousin Sue Bridehead, highlight the challenges of aspiring for a better life within a rigid Victorian society. Hardy's exploration of the characters' struggles against societal pressures and their ultimate tragic fates makes 'Jude the Obscure' a thought-provoking and emotionally charged narrative. Thomas Hardy's 'Tess of the d'Urbervilles,, presents the story of Tess Durbeyfield, a young woman from a poor rural family who discovers her connection to the aristocratic d'Urberville family. The novel examines themes of fate, morality, and the impact of societal expectations on individuals. Tess's tragic journey unfolds as she navigates a series of unfortunate events, including her ill-fated romance with Alec d'Urberville and her complicated relationship with Angel Clare. 'Far From the Madding Crowd' is one of Thomas Hardy's earlier novels, published in 1874. Set in the rural landscape of Wessex, the story revolves around the independent and headstrong Bathsheba Everdene and her interactions with three suitors: the loyal shepherd Gabriel Oak, the wealthy farmer William Boldwood, and the dashing soldier Sergeant Troy. The novel explores themes of love, marriage, and the consequences of impulsive decisions. Bathsheba's journey towards self-discovery and her complexities as a female protagonist ahead of her time make the novel a pioneering work in Victorian literature.

Release date: September 9, 2023

Genres: Literary Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

I look back on my childhood with a mixture of emotions. They were the best and worst years of my life. My friends Chris Lester, Charlie Beaumont and Louis Johnson would probably agree. We were the best of friends, always together and there for each other. Our bond would be tested one dismal October morning, when we’d commit a murder in the woods around our hometown. What followed was a cover-up whilst trying to pretend nothing had happened. During this time, I watched my friends succumb to their emotions, and also the lingering presence of the person we had killed.

Title: The MANIAC

Author: Benjamín Labatut

Narrator: Eva Magyar, Gergo Danka

Format: Abridged Audiobook

Length: 9 hours 51 minutes

Release date: September 7, 2023

Genres: Literary Fiction

Publisher's Summary:

John von Neumann was a titan of science. A Hungarian wunderkind who revolutionized every field he touched, his mathematical powers were so exceptional that Hans Bethe—a Nobel Prize-winning physicist—thought he might represent the next step in human evolution. After seeking the foundations of mathematics during his youth in Germany, von Neumann emigrated to the United States, where he became entangled in the power games of the Cold War; he designed the world's first programmable computer, invented game theory, pioneered AI and digital life, and helped create the atomic bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He was the darling of the military industrial complex, but when illness unmoored his mind, his work pushed further into areas beyond human comprehension and control. The MANIAC places von Neumann at the center of a literary triptych about the dark foundations of our modern world and the nascent era of AI. It begins with Paul Ehrenfest, an Austrian physicist and close friend of Einstein, who fell into despair when he saw science and technology become tyrannical forces; it ends a hundred years later, in the showdown between the South Korean Go Master, Lee Sedol, and the AI program AlphaGo. Braiding fact with fiction, Benjamín Labatut takes us on a journey to the frontiers of rational thought, where invention outpaces human understanding and offers godlike power, but takes us to the brink of Armageddon.
