De hija a madre, de madre a hija recoge dos de las piezas más logradas y emotivas de la obra de Carmen Martín Gaite: un sueño con su madre, María Gaite Veloso, y una evocación de su hija, Marta Sánchez Martín. Ambos textos, de difícil clasificación genérica, están datados en fechas muy próximas al fallecimiento de las dos mujeres más importantes en la vida de la escritora.
La aleación entre lo personal y el artefacto literario se sostiene con un particular pulso narrativo ante el temblor en estos dos textos dispersos, poco conocidos y que rescatamos en un volumen único, ya que en ellos convive en perfecta sintonía la dimensión de hija y madre, la experiencia del vínculo y la pérdida, el diario íntimo y la ficción, la realidad y el sonambulismo. «De su ventana a la mía» y «El otoño de Poughkeepsie» quizá sean los títulos más relevantes en su producción literaria de cómo la intimidad en bruto no se entiende si no se destila con el filtro del sueño o la fabulación: «No se dice lo secreto, se cuenta».
All stories come to an end.
Effy learned that when she defeated the Fairy King. Even though she may never know exactly what happened at Hiraeth, she is free of her nightmares and is able to pen a thesis with Preston on the beloved national fairy tale Angharad. She has finally earned a spot at the literature college, making her the first woman in history to enroll.
But some dreams are dangerous, especially when they come true. The entire university—and soon the entire nation—is waiting for her to fail. With the Fairy King defeated and Myrddin’s legacy exposed, Effy can no longer escape into fantasy. Who is she without her stories?
With Effy under threat, Preston is surprised to discover a rage simmering inside him, ringing in his ears like bells. He begins to dream of a palace under the sea, a world where he is king—visions that start to follow him even in waking.
As the war between Llyr and Argant explodes, Effy and Preston find themselves caught in the crossfire: Effy losing her dreams and Preston losing himself in his.
Are dreams ever truly just dreams?
Four adventurous siblings—Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie—step through a wardrobe door and into the land of Narnia, a land frozen in eternal winter and enslaved by the power of the White Witch. But when almost all hope is lost, the return of the Great Lion, Aslan, signals a great change . . . and a great sacrifice.
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is the second book in C. S. Lewis's classic fantasy series, which has been drawing readers of all ages into a magical land with unforgettable characters for over sixty years. This is a stand-alone read, but if you would like to explore more of the Narnian realm, pick up The Horse and His Boy, the third book in The Chronicles of Narnia.
On a daring quest to save a life, two friends are hurled into another world, where an evil sorceress seeks to enslave them. But then the lion Aslan's song weaves itself into the fabric of a new land, a land that will be known as Narnia. And in Narnia, all things are possible.
The Magician's Nephew is the first book in C. S. Lewis's classic fantasy series, The Chronicles of Narnia, which has captivated readers of all ages for over sixty years. This is a stand-alone novel, but if you would like to journey through the wardrobe and back to Narnia, read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the second book in The Chronicles of Narnia.
