In this book, Munro refines almost all the themes of people¡¯s emotional life and, through sharp and subtle language, records nine stories that are extremely close to the truth of life. Emotions are boundless, degradation is bottomless, and life can¡¯t be measured by winning or losing... Whatever the era is, the wisdom of the stories are claptrap for the occasion and even predictive--they discuss the possibilities and consequences of life.

Alice Munro nos invita a participar en un juego cuyas reglas pronto se conocen gracias a dos niñas del Ontario de los años cuarenta: escribe tu nombre y el del chico que te gusta, tacha todas las letras que se repiten y cuenta el resto recitando: «odio, amistad, noviazgo, amor, matrimonio». Cuando llegues al final averiguarás qué os depara el futuro. Tras este juego infantil e inocente se esconden preguntas de gran profundidad: ¿Cómo nacen las relaciones? ¿Son fruto de la casualidad o del destino? ¿Son de la misma naturaleza las que escogemos de las que no? En los nueve relatos recogidos en este libro, la literatura se vuelve itinerante como la memoria misma, y crea personajes tan contradictorios como cualquier persona de carne y hueso. English Descriptin A tough-minded housekeeper jettisons the habits of a lifetime because of a teenager’s practical joke. A college student visiting her brassy, unconventional aunt stumbles on an astonishing secret and its meaning in her own life. An incorrigible philanderer responds with unexpected grace to his wife’s nursing-home romance. Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage is Munro at her best, tirelessly observant, serenely free of illusion, deeply and gloriously humane.

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE® IN LITERATURE 2013 In these eight tales, Munro evokes the devastating power of old love suddenly recollected. She tells of vanished schoolgirls and indentured frontier brides and an eccentric recluse who, in the course of one surpassingly odd dinner party, inadvertently lands herself a wealthy suitor from exotic Australia. And Munro shows us how one woman's romantic tale of capture and escape in the high Balkans may end up inspiring another woman who is fleeing a husband and lover in present-day Canada. "Open Secrets is a book that dazzles with its faith in language and in life."--New York Times Book Review

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE® IN LITERATURE 2013 In these fifteen short stories--her eighth collection of short stories in a long and distinguished career--Alice Munro conjures ordinary lives with an extraordinary vision, displaying the remarkable talent for which she is now widely celebrated. Set on farms, by river marshes, in the lonely towns and new suburbs of western Ontario, these tales are luminous acts of attention to those vivid moments when revelation emerges from the layers of experience that lie behind even the most everyday events and lives. "Virtuosity, elemental command, incisive like a diamond, remarkable: all these descriptions fit Alice Munro."--Christian Science Monitor "How does one know when one is in the grip of art--of a major talent?....It is art that speaks from the pages of Alice Munro's stories."--Wall Street Journal

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE® IN LITERATURE 2013 Alice Munro mines her rich family background, melding it with her own experiences and the transforming power of her brilliant imagination, to create perhaps her most powerful and personal collection yet. A young boy, taken to Edinburgh’s Castle Rock to look across the sea to America, catches a glimpse of his father’s dream. Scottish immigrants experience love and loss on a journey that leads them to rural Ontario. Wives, mothers, fathers, and children move through uncertainty, ambivalence, and contemplation in these stories of hopes, adversity, and wonder. The View from Castle Rock reveals what is most essential in Munro’s art: her compassionate understanding of ordinary lives.

Lives of Girls and Women: A Novel
(WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE® IN LITERATURE 2013 The only n...)
WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE® IN LITERATURE 2013 The only novel from Alice Munro-award-winning author of The Love of a Good Woman--is an insightful, honest book, "autobiographical in form but not in fact," that chronicles a young girl's growing up in rural Ontario in the 1940's. Del Jordan lives out at the end of the Flats Road on her father's fox farm, where her most frequent companions are an eccentric bachelor family friend and her rough younger brother. When she begins spending more time in town, she is surrounded by women-her mother, an agnostic, opinionted woman who sells encyclopedias to local farmers; her mother's boarder, the lusty Fern Dogherty; and her best friend, Naomi, with whom she shares the frustrations and unbridled glee of adolescence. Through these unwitting mentors and in her own encounters with sex, birth, and death, Del explores the dark and bright sides of womanhood. All along she remains a wise, witty observer and recorder of truths in small-town life. The result is a powerful, moving, and humorous demonstration of Alice Munro's unparalleled awareness of the lives of girls and women.

In the her tenth collection (the title story of which is the basis for the new film Hateship Loveship), Alice Munro achieves new heights, creating narratives that loop and swerve like memory, and conjuring up characters as thorny and contradictory as people we know ourselves. A tough-minded housekeeper jettisons the habits of a lifetime because of a teenager's practical joke. A college student visiting her brassy, unconventional aunt stumbles on an astonishing secret and its meaning in her own life. An incorrigible philanderer responds with unexpected grace to his wife's nursing-home romance. Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage is Munro at her best, tirelessly observant, serenely free of illusion, deeply and gloriously humane.

The View from Castle Rock traces the generations of Munro's family, from the title story—where through a haze of whiskey Alice's ancestors gaze north from Edinburgh Castle at the Fife coast, believing that it is North America—to Munro's firstperson stories, set during her lifetime, and all the way to the final story, where we travel with “Alice Munro” today. In the author's words, these stories “pay more attention to the truth of a life than fiction usually does. But not enough to swear on.”

In the 15 short stories, Munro contrasts the ordinary life with extraordinary perspectives, revealing her characteristics as a classical writer. The stories occur in farms, riverside wetland, and the isolate towns and newly rising suburbs in Western Ontario. A girl follows her father in his door-to-door selling, but accidentally discovers his long-buried love; two pairs of men and women that don¡¯t know each other hold their horse and comfort each other in the small towns; the old lady helps the mentally handicapped children communicate with another world through music... The author pays her attention to common people¡¯s desire and regrets, delight and pain of love, despair and sense of guilt in life, making us see people¡¯s common ambition, fear and sadness.

Family Furnishings: Selected Stories, 1995-2014
(From the winner of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature—and...)
From the winner of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature—and one of our most beloved writers—a new selection of her peerless short fiction, gathered from the collections of the last two decades, a companion volume to Selected Stories (1968-1994). Family Furnishings brings us twenty-four of Alice Munro’s most accomplished, most powerfully affecting stories, many of them set in the territory she has so brilliantly made her own: the small towns and flatlands of southwestern Ontario. Subtly honed with her hallmark precision, grace, and compassion, these stories illuminate the quotidian yet extraordinary particularity in the lives of men and women, parents and children, friends and lovers as they discover sex, fall in love, part, quarrel, suffer defeat, set off into the unknown, or find a way to be in the world. Peopled with characters as real to us as we are to ourselves, Munro’s stories encompass the fullness of human experience—from the wild exhilaration of first love, in “Passion,” to the lengths a once-straying husband will go to make his wife happy as her memory fades, in “The Bear Came Over the Mountain.” Other stories suggest the punishing consequences of leaving home (“Runaway”) or leaving a marriage (“The Children Stay”). The part romantic love plays in one’s existence is explored in “Too Much Happiness,” based on the life of the noted nineteenth-century mathematician, Sophia Kovalevsky. And in stories that Munro has described as “closer to the truth than usual”—“Dear Life,” “Working for a Living,” and “Home” among them—we glimpse the author’s own life. As the Nobel Prize presentation speech says in part: “Reading one of Alice Munro’s texts is like watching a cat walk across a laid dinner table. A brief short story can often cover decades, summarizing a life, as she moves deftly between different periods. No wonder Alice Munro is often able to say more in thirty pages than an ordinary novelist is capable of in three hundred. She is a virtuoso of the elliptical and the master of the contemporary short story.”

The only novel from best-selling author Alice Munro, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature Catching frogs, grazing knees, singing songs to save England from Hitler - that was childhood for Del Jordan, and now she's impatient for more. More than she can find in the encyclopedias sold by her mother, or in the half-understood innuendos dispensed by best friend Naomi, or in the whispers of boys during Friday night dances. Just like the girls in the movies, she wants to get started on real life. In her only novel, Alice Munro turns her eye to the frustrations, embarrassments, glee and bewilderment of adolescence, and to the brushes with sex, death, violence and birth that shape the lives of girls and women. "I still feel that Alice Munro is mine. I am the perfect audience for her brand of quiet, seething feminism." (Lena Dunham). "In Munro's work, nothing can be predicted. Emotions erupt. Preconceptions crumble. Surprises proliferate." (Margaret Atwood).

En los diez relatos que componen Amistad de juventud se recrean los misterios que anidan en el centro de la experiencia humana. Multiples vidas circulan por sus paginas, las vidas de hombres y mujeres que rememoran los deseos y los suenos que enterraron hace ya quiza demasiado, las vidas que resultaron de elecciones incomprensibles pero que asimismo las han moldeado hasta convertirlas en lo que son. La mano sabia de Alice Munro lo describe todo con una piedad y un arte inusitados, haciendo de este libro una verdadera obra maestra.

La vista desde castle rock / The View from Castle Rock (Spanish Edition)
(En unos relatos que son más personales que todos los que ...)
En unos relatos que son más personales que todos los que ha escrito antes, Alice Munro reconstruye la historia de su familia en una ficción imaginada magníficamente. Un niño es llevado a Castle Rock en Edimburgo, donde su padre le asegura que en un día de buena visibilidad se ve América, y él alcanza a ver el sueño de su padre. En los relatos posteriores, al hacerse realidad el sueño, dos cuñadas experimentan tipos de pasión muy distintos en la larga travesía al Nuevo Mundo; un bebé se pierde y vuelve a aparecer como por arte de magia en el viaje desde Illinois a la frontera canadiense. Otros relatos se suceden en el territorio más cercano a Munro, los pueblos y los campos alrededor del lago Huron, donde asoma el pasado en el presente como las huellas del paso de un glaciar en el paisaje y poderosas emociones se agitan justo bajo la superficie de los vaivenes cotidianos. El primer amor florece bajo el manzano mientras una pasión más intensa se presenta en el establo. Una chica contratada como empleada doméstica en verano, e incómoda por su «lugar» en el elegante mundo veraniego al que ha llegado, experimenta una transformación gracias al perspicaz regalo de despedida de su jefe. Un padre cuyas iniciales expectativas de éxito en la cría de zorros se ven frustradas encuentra un extraño consuelo en un trabajo nocturno rutinario en una fundición. Una chica lista huye de su pueblo para ir a la universidad y casarse. Evocadores, inesperados, cautivadores, con gancho, estos relatos reflejan la profundidad y la riqueza de la experiencia de la autora. La vista desde Castle Rock es un logro brillante de una de las mejores escritoras de nuestro tiempo.

A New York Times Editors’ Choice Book Spanning almost thirty years and settings that range from big cities to small towns and farmsteads of rural Canada, this magnificent collection brings together twenty-eight stories by a writer of unparalleled wit, generosity, and emotional power. In A Wilderness Station: Selected Stories, 1968–1994, Alice Munro makes lives that seem small unfold until they are revealed to be as spacious as prairies and locates the moments of love and betrayal, desire and forgiveness, that change those lives forever. A traveling salesman during the Depression takes his children with him on an impromptu visit to a former girlfriend. A poor girl steels herself to marry a rich fiancé she can’t quite manage to love. An abandoned woman tries to choose between the opposing pleasures of seduction and solitude. To read these stories is to succumb to the spell of a true narrative sorcerer, a writer who enchants her readers utterly even as she restores them to their truest selves.

The Progress of Love
(WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE® IN LITERATURE 2013 Alice Munr...)
WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE® IN LITERATURE 2013 Alice Munro, who received the National Book Critics Circle Award for her latest collection of stories, The Love of a Good Woman, is widely acknowledged as a modern master of the short story. In this earlier collection, she demonstrates all of those strengths that have won her so many literary accolades. A divorced woman returns to her childhood home where she confronts the memory of her parents' confounding yet deep bond. The accidental near-drowning of a child exposes the fragility of the trust between children and parents. A young man, remembering a terrifying childhood incident, wrestles with the responsibility he has always felt for his younger brother. In these and other stories Alice Munro proves once again a sensitive and compassionate chronicler of our times. Drawing us into the most intimate corners of ordinary lives, she reveals much about ourselves, our choices, and our experiences of love.

( Se podría concebir El progreso del amor como unas cróni...)
Se podría concebir El progreso del amor como unas crónicas de nuestro tiempo que, con gran sensibilidad y empatía, nos descubren los aspectos más intrínsecos de la vida cotidiana; toda una revelación de nosotros mismos -los lectores-, nuestras elecciones y nuestras experiencias. En su conjunto, son un tratado del amor, formado por historias íntimas y deslumbrantes que exploran sus distintas facetas -filial, platónico, sexual, parental e imaginario- en las vidas de personajes aparentemente ordinarios. Munro nos habla sobre cómo puede engañarnos la memoria y cómo nuestra percepción puede llegar a distorsionar la realidad. De esta forma empieza a entretejer los once relatos sobre el amor, la memoria y la vida que constituyen este volumen. «Sus personajes son sencillos y es dueña de las mayores sutilezas del alma humana. Historias que acaban siendo grandes tragedias. Es una escritora adictiva.» Ignacio Martínez de Pisón ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A divorced woman returns to her childhood home where she confronts the memory of her parents' confounding yet deep bond.
