Ecos del ayer cuenta la trayectoria vital de Ana Medoza desde su niñez hasta el día en que cumple cincuenta años. Está escrito en primera persona y trata de los diferentes miedos que la protagonista va superando a lo largo de su vida a través de diferentes experiencias. Plantea la dificultad de ir madurando, reajustando y superando sin perder su esencia y manteniendo un equilibrio. Así pues se habla del miedo a la muerte, el amor, el sexo, las relaciones sociales y el futuro, así como de la dificultad de resolver algunos conflictos morales. La historia abarca desde mediados de los sesenta hasta la actualidad y se mencionan en ella acontecimientos históricos que de alguna manera influyeron en Ana Mendoza y en su camino hacia la superación. Cada una de las diferentes partes del libro se refiere a una época distinta de su vida y coincide con las diferentes estaciones del año.



En el conjunt de l'exuberant obra de Josep Melià, els llibres de caràcter històric, o més aviat historiopolític, ocupen un lloc ben destacat. De fet, només per haver escrit Els mallorquins, Melià ja s'hauria convertit en una figura

Als trenta-vuit anys, Tertuliano Màximo Afonso és professor d'història en un institut de secundària. Solitari i depressiu, està separat i té pocs amics però esporàdicament es veu amb una dona. Un dia, un company de feina li recomana una pel·lícula en la qual, curiosament, hi ha un actor idèntic a ell. Davant d'aquesta descoberta, en Tertuliano s'obsessiona per trobar el seu doble.A L'home duplicat, José Saramago reflexiona sobre el tema de la pèrdua de la identitat que afecta a la societat d'avui dia.

És una època de descoberta i de decadència, quan l'or que arriba sense parar al port de Sevilla devalua tant el valor dels diners com el de l'amor mateix. En aquests temps convulsos neix Juan Tenorio, un nadó que és abandonat a l'estable d'un convent. Criat en secret per les monges, aprèn a estimar i respectar les dones i el seu màxim desig és convertir-se en capellà, fins que s'enamora d'una de les germanes. El poderós marquès de la Mota el recluta aviat perquè li faci d'espia, i serà el mateix marquès qui li ensenyarà a convertir-se en el llibertí i el seductor de dones més gran del món. Després d'un combat amb espases amb l'home més poderós de l'Imperi, Don Juan es veu obligat a fugir de la fúria assassina de la Inquisició, que lluita contra totes les formes de llibertinatge, els comportaments desviats i les heretgies. Després de conèixer incomptables dones, el marquès el convenç de portar un diari. En les seves pàgines Don Juan explica les seves aventures i les arts de la passió de les quals és mestre. Però el que finalment l'impulsa a confessar-ho tot, i el que posa en perill la seva vida i el seu honor, és l'aventura més perillosa de totes: l'amor boig per l'única dona que podria aconseguir que oblidés totes les altres. El llibre que teniu a les mans és una nova aproximació a les aventures de l'amant més famós de tots els temps.

2nd finalist for the 2011 Asian American Literary Award for Poetry Shortlisted for the 2011 PEN/Joyce Osterweil Award for Poetry Nominated for the McLaughlin-Esstman-Stearns First Novel Prize "There is no more perfect place to be than in Molly Gaudry s tender, dirt-floored novella, We Take Me Apart. Oh cabbage leaves, oh roses, oh orange-slice childhood grins: this book broke my heart. Its sad memory-tropes come from fairy tales & childhood books. With language, Gaudry is as loving & careful as one is with a matchbook . . . when wishing to set the whole word on fire. --Kate Bernheimer, author of The Complete Tales of Merry Gold "Molly Gaudry's debut evokes the spirit of iconic fairy tales that have transported readers for centuries. Her variations on these themes delineate the psychological journey from girlhood to womanhood. But We Take Me Apart is more than a retelling. In it, Gaudry reconstitutes the essence of what makes fairy tales compelling, and she does so imaginatively and with great attention to language, the earmarks of poetry."--Christopher Kennedy, author of Encouragement for a Man Fallin
