Samanta Schweblin, la maestra del cuento contemporáneo latinoamericano, regresa con un libro destinado a convertirse en un clásico global.

Magnéticos e irresistibles. En cada uno de los cuentos de El buen mal, Samanta Schweblin nos abduce a otra dimensión donde quedamos en contacto íntimo con sus personajes. Encandilados por el fulgor de la inminente tragedia, vulnerables y profundamente humanos, advierten cuánto podría transformarlos la irrupción de lo inesperado.

A algunos los dejará de pie frente al dolor, a otros dialogando con la culpa y a todos atravesados por la incertidumbre. ¿Importa saber qué es verdad? Se trata, de principio a fin, de ser partícipes de un fenomenal artificio literario.

Con inédita perspicacia, Schweblin intuye el punto de quiebre de una voluntad, la intensidad premonitoria de un temblor y la lejanía que impone la ternura. Conoce la mejor de las infinitas posibilidades de una historia y el modo de encajar las piezas de una trama para dar con un gran relato que se hunda y proyecte, oscurezca e ilumine el día a día de la época y el alma de quienes la habitan.

En su literatura, premiada internacionalmente, los filos entre realidad y ensueño deslumbran como los de un cuchillo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A haunting, unforgettable collection of tales from the 2022 National Book Award for Translated Literature winner and three-time Booker finalist, Samanta Schweblin.

Once a decade a story collection rips a hole in the sky and we remember how it feels to have a spell cast upon us. From Jamaica Kincaid's At the Bottom of the River to Denis Johnson's Jesus's Son to the earthquake stories of Haruki Murakami, these books are often short, but unforgettable. Samanta Schweblin's Good and Evil is such a book. Sculpted and lucid, strange and uncanny, here is a masterpiece of suggestiveness. Step by step these six stories lure us into the shadows to confront the monsters of everyday life--ourselves.

In one tale, a mother surfaces from the depths of the lake behind her house, where she saw something awful yet alluring, to go home to her family, only to wish she could go back. In another, a sorrowful father finds himself unable to communicate with his son after a life-changing misfortune occurs under his supervision. In yet another, a dying woman calls a friend she hasn't spoken to in thirty years--not since an accident which forever changed them both.

Guilt, grief, and relationships severed permeate this collection--but so do unspeakable bonds of family, love, and longing, each sinister and beautiful. When something seismic happens in our lives, the waves keep coming for years after, with warning or without. Sometimes, all we can do is wait around the corner, ear pressed to the phone receiver, for them to arrive.

Fantastical and subtly terrifying, these stories draw on magical realism, psychological fiction, and the dark side of fairy tales inherited from literary predecessors like the Brothers Grimm and Jorge Luis Borges. Yet, far from antiquated or closed off, Schweblin's worlds invite us in, like quicksand or a strong river's current. These stories will insinuate themselves into your heart, and your bloodstream.

No white residue
Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I put this sunscreen on immediately after it was delivered. It smells so good & goes on smoothly without any white residue. It seems to protect the skin, but then again I put some on every hour on the hour and didn't have any issues. I will be reordering. I wish this was on subscribe and save, but will continue to purchase.

Product leaks into the cap
Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The packaging appears to be defective and potentially tampered with. Specifically, the nozzle is a different color from the rest of the tube—one that is not consistent with the brand’s standard packaging (I am familiar with this brand and have purchased it before). Additionally, the cap does not close properly, causing the product to leak into the lid and resulting in unnecessary waste. This raises serious concerns about the product’s authenticity, quality control, and whether it may have been previously opened or altered.

Solid Option for a Sunscreen Spray! Nice Even Mist!
Item Package Quantity: 1
I’ve been using the Naked Sundays Hydrating Glow Mist SPF 50+ and overall I’m really impressed. One thing I was a little concerned about at first is that it does contain alcohol, so I expected it might be drying. Surprisingly, it hasn’t dried my skin out the way other similar products have, which is a big plus for me. The scent is pleasant and not overpowering. It doesn’t have that harsh sunscreen smell that some sprays do, so it’s easy to reapply throughout the day without feeling like you’re coating yourself in fragrance. In terms of finish, it’s not completely non greasy, but it’s also not overly heavy. I would call it slightly greasy, but noticeably less so than most sunscreen sprays I’ve tried. It gives a bit of a glow without feeling suffocating on the skin. One of my favorite things about this product is the spray itself. The mist is very fine and even, which makes application quick and easy without leaving blotchy spots. Overall, it’s a solid option if you want a convenient SPF mist that feels lighter than most, smells good, and doesn’t leave your skin feeling dried out.
