ABOUT THE TITLEI started writing this book (first in my mind) when Monty Python was filming the The Life of Brian. I had no idea, as it was only shown here in Hungary more than ten years later, and I was not one of the well-informed few, I didn't even speak English. Yet I noticed the same thing as the Big Team: how many ridiculous contradictions there are in the Bible and in the respect for it. At first - when I still considered myself a Christian...

Was my troubled head to be the frequent theater of horrors for a malicious being?The absurdity of it all went clean through me like a draft emanating from the beating wings of Lucifer.In response I laughed out aloud. An insane chuckle that burrowed into the night with demonic urgency.My lament was purely comical. I was shaking my fist at the skies, imploring a deaf deity to dance to my song. "How so you fool?" I queried myself laughing some more.By...

A true hors d'oeuvre, this literary short story is one of the shortest ever published. It is the narration of an unexpected death, of an abrupt, absurd and frustrating stop, of a final point in Russian roulette. A story above all of nothingness and blank pages, the simultaneous end of a narrator, a hero, a reader, a book, the extinction of an entire universe. It is, in a way, a literary abortion. The reader is advised that this book contains a dedication,...

¿Dónde está el infierno? Esa es una pregunta que me he hecho muchas veces, y siempre me respondo lo mismo: debe estar en un enorme campo verde esmeralda, con un cielo nuboso como cuando está a punto de empezar a llover. Un campo que parece tranquilo y hermoso, pero que esconde un secreto terrible. Un campo que está flanqueado por torres grises, altas y frías, que proyectan su sombra hasta el horizonte de mi vista.

The acclaimed writer Padgett Powell is fascinated by what it feels like to walk through everyday life, to hear the swing and snap of American talk, to be both electrified and overwhelmed by the mad cacophony -- the "muchness"--Of America. "The Interrogative Mood" is Powell's playful and profound response, a bebop solo of a book in which every sentence is a question.

Alphonse Allais cultivó un humor que, aunque de apariencia ligera, esconde a menudo una mirada sarcástica, crítica y aun negra. André Breton celebró su imaginación (una mezcla entre la del filósofo Zenón y la de un niño) y Umberto Eco lo consideró "uno de los grandes maestros del relato". En Vivir de risa reunimos sus mejores cuentos, publicados entre 1891 y 1900.

Desde hace veinte siglos se especula sobre los años oscuros de Jesús, aquellos que la Biblia no cuenta, desde su adolescencia hasta sus treinta años. Muchas veces esas hipótesis responden a una limitada perspectiva teológica: un Jesús embellecido por un destino que ya conocemos, ser el hijo de Dios. Pero ¿y si todo fuera a la vez más complejo y hermoso, más humano? ¿Y si el vía crucis de Jesús, como el de cualquier vida atenazada por el...
