Stephen King's It
By Anderson, Harry
It can be anything. A fanged monster that won't stay on the movie screen. Something ominous lurking in the basement. A malevolent force in a small New England town takes the shape of a clown, but It isn't clowning around. Instead, It terrifies youngsters with their innermost fears, bringing some to their untimely doom -- until a group of wily neighborhood kids fight back. Thirty years later the evil resurfaces: meaner, angrier, deadlier. And the friends who vividly remember the terrors of their youth reunite to make a desperate stand against It.

Los cuentos de la peste
By Llosas, Mario Vargas
Una pieza teatral indita de Mario Vargas Llosa que recrea de forma magistral los relatos del Decamern de BoccaccioDesde la primera vez que le el Decamern, en mi juventud, pens que la situacin inicial que presenta el libro, antes de que comiencen los cuentos, es esencialmente teatral: atrapados en una ciudad atacada por la peste de la que no pueden huir, un grupo de jvenes se las arregla sin embargo para fugar hacia lo imaginario, recluyndose en una quinta a contar cuentos. Enfrentados a una realidad intolerable, siete muchachas y tres varones consiguen escapar de ella mediante la fantasa, transportndose a un mundo hecho de historias que se cuentan unos a otros y que los llevan de esa lastimosa realidad a otra, de palabras y sueos, donde quedan inmunizados contra la pestilencia.Mario Vargas LlosaLos cuentos de la peste es una pieza teatral indita de Mario Vargas Llosa inspirada en el texto de Boccaccio. El amor, el deseo, el poder de la imaginacin y las relaciones entre las clases sociales son las claves de esta obra que recoge la esencia del espritu del Decamern: la lujuria y la sensualidad exacerbadas por la sensacin de crisis, de abismo abierto, de fin del mundo. Una recreacin magistral de un clsico de la literatura europea. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In Mario Vargas Llosa's adaptation of Boccaccio's The Decameron, young people tell stories at a country villa as they try to escape the plague.
