Das kleine D?rfchen A-B-C

The kiss is the image that, perhaps more than any other, encompasses the beauty and poetry of love. Every love is required to maintain the kiss, to make it last. When they kiss, lovers carve out their hiding holes, finding their peace from war. When they kiss, the noise of the world is silenced, its laws broken, time is stolen from its normal continuity. They fall together in their distinct, embraced tongues. The kiss joins the tongue that declares love with the body of the lover. And the extinction of the kiss and, most importantly, of the desire to kiss one’s beloved announces the demise of love. In this short book, Massimo Recalcati – one of Italy’s leading intellectuals and bestselling authors – offers seven brief lessons on the mystery and miracle of love, from the serendipity of the first encounter to its end or its continuation over time, as mysterious and miraculous as the first encounter itself.

Se acaba el d?a, asoman las primeras estrellas. Ya es tiempo de comenzar a leer Cuentos cansados, pero los protagonistas de estas historias est?n tan pero tan cansados, que quiz? nunca sepas si est?s leyendo un libro o so?ando. La genial prosa de Levrero, en el que quiz?s sea su texto m?s desenfadado y genial, nos lleva al encuentro que cada d?a ocurre entre el narrador (el propio Levrero) y su hijo Nicol?s, que haciendo poco caso del cansancio del padre, le exige un cuento… y otro cuento. As?, entre bostezos y ronquidos, seis cuentos surgen del sue?o, llenos de im?genes que Bianki toma y reinterpreta para crear un libro fant?stico.
