El gran Gatsby y El curioso caso de Benjamin Button

Autor: Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald

Número de Páginas: 218

El gran Gatsby y El extraño caso de Benjamin Button son dos de los textos más reconocidos de Francis Scott Fitzgerald, considerado un clásico de la literatura norteamericana, cuya obra exquisita mantiene toda su actualidad y frescor. Gatsby, el caballero que reina sobre West Egg, el anfitrión de las noches sin tregua, pero también el triunfador marcado por el trágico sino de una soledad no pretendida, es el arquetipo de esos años veinte que se iniciaron con la Prohibición y discurrieron en el gansterismo y la corrupción política organizada. Protagonista de una década que culminaría con la catástrofe de 1929, su imagen de esplendor no hace sino anunciar un drama inevitable. El curioso caso de Benjamin Button es un relato de gran originalidad, inspirado en Mark Twain, quien comentó que era una pena que la mejor parte de la vida se diera al principio y la peor parte al final. Scott Fitzgerald decidió experimentar el proceso inverso en este relato: Benjamin Button nace con setenta años y misteriosamente cumple cada vez menos, rejuveneciendo paulatinamente. Tanto El gran Gatsby como El extraño caso de Benjamin Button han sido llevados al cine, con gran éxito y...

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Número de Páginas: 109

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is one of F. Scott Fitzgerald's most memorable short stories. The protagonist, Benjamin Button, is born an old man and ages in reverse until he becomes a baby and then finally vanishes from the earth. In a short introduction to the story, Fitzgerald wrote: "This story was inspired by a remark of Mark Twain's to the effect that it was a pity that the best part of life came at the beginning and the worst part at the end. By trying the experiment upon only one man in a perfectly normal world I have scarcely given his idea a fair trial. Several weeks after completing it, I discovered an almost identical plot in Samuel Butler's 'Note-books.' "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" was the inspiration for the major motion picture of the same name and remains one of Fitzgerald's most haunting and beautiful tales. This collection also includes three other Jazz Age tales by Fitzgerald.

O curioso caso de Benjamin Button

Autor: F. Scott Fitzgerald

Número de Páginas: 70

No ano de 1860, em Baltimore, nos Estados Unidos, nasce Benjamin Button, um indivíduo com a estranha condição de envelhecer ao contrário. Na fase em que deveria ser uma criança, Benjamin tem a aparência e o humor de um senhor de mais de setenta anos de idade, que prefere fumar charutos, ler enciclopédias e conversar com o próprio avô sobre banalidades do que tomar parte em atividades infantis, das quais seu pai, Roger, tenta obrigá-lo a gostar. Embora a expectativa de todos seja a de que Benjamin não vá sobreviver às condições precárias de sua saúde, conforme os anos avançam, ele fica cada vez mais jovem, forte e ávido por desbravar o mundo da forma peculiar que lhe foi proporcionada. Com reflexões sobre vida e morte, família e afeto, e a fragilidade da condição humana como um todo, o curioso caso de Benjamin Button se tornou uma das histórias mais clássicas do consagrado autor norte-americano F. Scott Fitzgerald.

F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic short story of a man born in his 70's who ages backward as those around him age in the more normal direction. Both humorous and heartbreaking at times, The Curious Case of Benjamin was the basis for the David Fincher movie of the same name, though the movie differs in several key ways from Fitzgerald's original story.This story was inspired by a remark of Mark Twain's to the effect that it was a pity that the best part of life came at the beginning and the worst part at the end. By trying the experiment upon only one man in a perfectly normal world I have scarcely given his idea a fair trial.

Full grown with a long, smoke-coloured beard, requiring the services of a cane and fonder of cigars than warm milk, Benjamin Button is a very curious baby indeed. And, as Benjamin becomes increasingly youthful with the passing years, his family wonders why he persists in the embarrassing folly of living in reverse. In this imaginative fable of ageing and the other stories collected here � including �The Cut-Glass Bowl� in which an ill-meant gift haunts a family�s misfortunes, �The Four Fists� where a man�s life shaped by a series of punches to his face, and the revelry, mobs and anguish of �May Day� � F. Scott Fitzgerald displays his unmatched gift as a writer of short stories.

Autor: Francis Scott Fitzgerald

Dueño de una prosa delicada, con pasajes poéticos de extrema belleza estética, Scott Fitzgerald supo narrar como pocos las miserias de las clases acomodadas de la sociedad norteamericana de principios de siglo XX, en tiempos del jazz pero también de la Primera Guerra Mundial. Mezcló, en iguales dosis, la parafernalia afectada de los ricos con el buen gusto y las emociones más profundas, sobre todo el amor, la pasión y la melancolía. El curioso caso de Benjamin Button, uno de sus textos más reconocidos, condensa lo mejor de este autor, un verdadero clásico de la literatura norteamericana, cuya obra exquisita pero contundente persiste a lo largo del tiempo.

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who ages in reverse: He is born a feeble 70-year-old and becomes younger as the years progress. This faithful graphic-novel adaptation chronicles Benjamin Button's many adventures: He falls in love with a woman who ages normally (this causes complications), starts a family, and establishes a successful business. In his later years, he attends Harvard as a student and plays on their football team. By the time he is an old man, Benjamin Button resembles a newborn baby. And then he remembered nothing.Through the noons and nights he breathed and over him there were soft mumblings and murmurings that he scarcely heard, and faintly differentiated smells, and light and darkness. The Hollywood adaptation of the story-starring Brad Pitt (as Benjamin Button), Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swenton, and Julia Ormond, and directed by David Fincher (who also directed Pitt in "Fight Club" and "Seven")

Otros relatos hablan de novios imposibles y padres incómodos con su condición, de jóvenes y ricos herederos que envejecen prematuramente un mundo de luces y sombras que deja un sabor amargo en los labios.

Un retrato de los felices años veinte, de la llamada Jazz Age. Hermosos y malditos narra la historia de una pareja de recién casados, Anthony Patch, de Nueva York, y Gloria Gilbert, de Kansas City, punto de partida que escoge Francis Scott Fitzgerald para describir la decadencia de un matrimonio y de una sociedad hedonista donde la belleza y la fortuna son siempre demasiado fugaces. Muchos años después de su aparición, este clásico sigue siendo el más deslumbrante retrato de la alta sociedad estadounidense, de sus glorias y miserias; un retrato que trasciende su época y se erige en universal. «Fitzgerald era mejor escritor que nosotros dos juntos.» Carta de John O'Hara a John Steinbeck

Desde la eternidad hasta hoy

Autor: Sean Carroll

Número de Páginas: 739

A partir de la entropía, la física cuántica, los viajes en el tiempo o el significado de la vida, Sean Carroll profundiza en uno de los grandes enigmas de la ciencia: ¿Qué es el tiempo? Hace veinte años Stephen Hawking intentó explicar el tiempo a través de la comprensión del big bang. Ahora, en Desde la eternidad hasta hoy,Sean Carroll, uno de los mejores físicos teóricos del mundo, nos ofrece una teoría revolucionaria que ilustra cómo la flecha del tiempo existe gracias a condiciones previas al big bang, una era con la que Einstein ni siquiera soñó, y que explica que nuestro universo convive con universos paralelos en los que el tiempo viaja en dirección opuesta. Autoridades en el campo de la física teórica opinan... «Una exploración cautivadora de los misterios del tiempo.» Brian Green «Lúcido y profundo.» Kip S. Thome Y la prensa afirma... «Desde la eternidad hasta hoy es una de las mejores explicaciones de los misterios asombrosos de nuestro universo.» The Wall Street Journal «Carroll utiliza un lenguaje coloquial y accesible para explorar los desafíos de la cosmología.» Library Journal

Anatomía del sistema económico

Imagínese que se para desnudo frente a un espejo. En mi caso, por la edad y el estado físico, el espejo devolvería una imagen entre cómica y deplorable. Pero este acto permitiría darnos la oportunidad de hacer algo que rara vez hacemos durante nuestra vida adulta, observarnos tal y cual somos, sin los artilugios de la vestimenta, sin las cargas de pertenecer a la sociedad materializadas en accesorios, peinados, rasuradas, maquillajes, etc. Lo mismo pasa con la economía. Si dejáramos de procurar comprender nuestra propia visión de la economía y nos dedicáramos a observar al cuerpo compuesto por le conjunto de recursos, empresas, individuos y gobiernos con los cuales tenemos que interactuar, tendríamos entonces ante nuestros ojos la visión del sistema económico y, en ese reconocimiento, aunque sea incipiente, lograríamos entender como sociedad nuestras capacidades, nuestras fortalezas, nuestras ventajas, también nuestros machucones y heridas, viejas cicatrices de padecimientos distantes, nuestras deformaciones. Y así, como en mi caso, la imagen que devuelve el espejo me anoticia de la lamentable realidad de no poder ser jamás un ganador entre las chicas, como...
