Sabella

Resumen del Libro

Libro Sabella

This repackaged edition of a classic sci-fi tale from a master storyteller explores the life of a vampire on a Mars-like colony as she struggles to hide her true nature. On the rosy sands of a distant Earth colony, Sabella lives a quiet life in her isolated home—carefully hiding her vampirism from society. Sabella may not be undead, but she is painfully allergic to sunlight, possesses supernatural strength and speed, and feeds on fresh blood. In her youth, Sabella seduced a number of men, killing them all for fear of discovery. But with age comes control, and Sabella has sworn off of drinking human blood. After four years of staying clean, Sabella receives an invitation to her Aunt Cassi's funeral—along with several thousand credits to ensure she attends the reading of the will. But when Sabella arrives at the funeral, she discovers that the funds were a ruse. Before her death, Cassi—a devout Christian Revivalist—discovered the truth about Sabella and tasked her manservant, John Trim, to hunt Sabella down. Trim hires private investigator Sand Vincent to get close to Sabella and suss out the truth. But Sand is only human—and Sabella anything but. As Sand becomes enthralled by Sabella's charm, Sabella must combat her own instincts to keep him alive—and society's suspicions away.

Libro Territorios

íQué dulce culpa la de habernos dado tanta felicidad en estos tiempos yermos, en este horror cotidiano de abrir el periódico y encontrarlo salpicado de sangre y de verg ̧enza, qué interregnos de alegría en este siniestro horizonte de máquinas de muerteî. Con estas palabras se refiere Cortázar a textos cuyo objeto es el de una crítica de artes plásticas, esbozada como el homenaje a quienes le han obligado a aceptar la libertad como único territorio habitable.

Triste domingo / Beber un cáliz

Libro Triste domingo / Beber un cáliz

«Beber un cáliz y Triste domingo son libros disímiles en su género y presentación, pero ambos guardan los secretos esenciales de este escritor hidalguense, sin el cual no podríamos comprender la riqueza de la narrativa mexicana del siglo XX.» Del prólogo de Sandro Cohen Muchas son las virtudes de la prosa de Ricardo Garibay. Este «artesano riguroso de la palabra», como diría Adolfo Castañón, ha sido elogiado por su célebre oído literario, alejado del canon, así como por su destreza para construir personajes. En Triste domingo traza un triángulo amoroso entre Alejandra y dos...
