Title: [Spanish] - La bastarda de Estambul Author: Elif Shafak Narrator: Paula Iwasaki Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 14 minutes Release date: September 29, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Una novela que cabalga entre lo doméstico y lo histórico y que evoca los colores, los aromas y la magia de las calles de Estambul «Esta magnífica novela me llevó a un país lejano, y la realidad era muy distinta cuando volví». The Chicago Tribune Estambul parece un gran barco en ruta incierta, cargado de pasajeros de distintas nacionalidades, lenguas y religiones. Esa es la imagen que acompaña a la joven Armanoush, que viaja desde Arizona para visitar por primera vez la ciudad y descubrir sus orígenes. Lo que aún no sabe es que su familia armenia y la de su padrastro turco estuvieron ligadas en el pasado, y que la vida en común de los dos pueblos fue apacible un día. Muy pronto, Armanoush conocerá a ese clan peculiar, en el que solo hay mujeres porque los hombres tuvieron a bien morir jóvenes o irse lejos para olvidar sus pecados. En el centro del retrato destaca Zeliha, la madre de Asya, que ahora tiene diecinueve años, y pronto será amiga de Armanoush. Completan la foto de familia otras señoras de armas tomar, que pasan el rato cocinando, recordando viejos tiempos y encarándose al futuro de su país, cada cual a su manera. La amistad entre las dos jóvenes acabará desvelando una historia vieja y turbia, una relación que nació y murió en la pura desesperación, pero las damas de la familia sabrán cómo resolver incluso este percance. Sentando a esas maravillosas mujeres de Estambul delante de una mesa llena de platos deliciosos y algo especiados, Elif Shafak cabalga con talento entre lo épico y lo doméstico, contándonos la historia de Europa a través de las mil historias que cada familia guarda en el baúl de los secretos. La crítica ha dicho: «Deliciosa e imaginativa novela. [...] Una Amy Tan que nos llega de Turquía.» USA Today «La voz de Shafak es única en toda la literatura mundial.» Ian McEwan «Shafak es una escritora maravillosa.» Benjamín Prado «La narración de Shafak es siempre ágil, con una notable fuerza visual respecto de la acción que convierte aquella en un extenso guion cinematográfico.» El País «Shafak sabe exactamente cuándo lanzar preguntas sin respuesta, empapar nuestros sentidos, ofrecer reflexiones significativas o metáforas elegantes y, sobre todo, rompernos el corazón.» The Sunday Times «Una de las mejores escritoras contemporáneas.» Hanif Kureishi «Shafak indaga en el papel de la mujer en una sociedad donde la libertad no siempre es un bien común, al alcance de todos.» Culturamas «Elif Shafak puede ser despiadada, lírica, política, íntima». Juan Gabriel Vásquez

Title: [Spanish] - Pureza Author: Jonathan Franzen Narrator: Irene Serrano Guerrero Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 24 hours 15 minutes Release date: September 29, 2022 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: El talento excepcional de Jonathan Franzen, autor de Las correcciones, se pone de manifiesto una vez más en esta trepidante historia cargada de humor y, por momentos,sombría e inquietante. A partir de las vidas entrecruzadas de un puñado de personajes retratados con un grado de realismo que hipnotiza al lector, el relato gira en torno a una joven de nombre dickensiano, Purity «Pip» Tyler, que tras su paso por la universidad se afana en encarrilar su vida acorde con unos principios que considera irrenunciables. Atrapada en una relación malsana con su madre, que nunca ha querido revelarle el nombre de su padre ni por qué se cambió el apellido antes de que ella naciese, Pip sobrevive con trabajos intrascendentes hasta que el encuentro fortuito con una mujer involucrada en el activismo antibelicista se traducirá en unas prácticas en el Sunlight Project, una organización radicada en Bolivia que se dedica a revelar secretos de personas, corporaciones y gobiernos. El fundador y artífice del negocio es Andreas Wolf, un carismático agitador de la ex RDA reciclado durante el caótico período posterior a la caída del Muro de Berlín. El sospechoso interés de Andreas por Pip trastocará sus ideas convencionales sobre el bien y el mal, empujándola hacia un destino que no figuraba ni remotamente en su imaginación. La crítica ha dicho... «Dentro de unas décadas, cuando queramos ver una foto del 2015, volveremos la mirada hacia Pureza.» The Toronto Star «Franzen es el novelista más inteligente de mi generación [...]. Hace ya tiempo que su dominio de la técnica es enorme, pero en Pureza su confianza parece agudizada, tanto en los momentos en que las piezas de sus diferentes relatos encajan nítidamente, como en los retratos psicológicos.» The New Republic «Soberbiamente entretenida, rebosante de escenas y personajes memorables por su viveza, es la obra de un novelista en la cima de su capacidad.» The Times «Pureza es una gran lectura, tan intensa como entretenida, rebosante de alusiones mordaces y proteicas a este planeta desquiciado en el que vivimos a comienzos del siglo XXI.» The Oregonian «Si Las correcciones fue un estallido de talento literario, y Libertad su gloriosa confirmación, Pureza es un sencillo y gozoso recordatorio de la agudeza de su mirada.» Time Magazine
