«Javier Argüello es, sin duda, uno de los escritores actuales más interesantes en nuestra lengua». -ZendaEn este deslumbrante libro, Javier Argüello reúne siete cuentos de estirpe fantástica, deudores y renovadores de la tradición fundada por Gógol, Poe, Maupassant o Borges. Dueño de un estilo sutil y eficaz, Argüello nos cuenta historias inquietantes y turbadoras, a veces espeluznantes, hechas con la materia que se extiende tras el fi lo de la realidad. Cada una de estas siete piezas nos hipnotiza tanto por el bien medido ritmo de su prosa como por el dibujo de los personajes y su trama envolvente y sobrecogedora. En la primera, por ejemplo, Argüello narra las vicisitudes de un hombre que cree que escribe un relato cuando en verdad tan solo es el personaje de otro relato que vive atrapado en la telaraña de la ficción. En otro cuento nos mantendrá en vilo con la increíble y maravillosa historia de un hombre a quien un profesor de astronomía ordena que construya una casa al revés bajo la tierra de su jardín, pues algo horrible está a punto de suceder en el mundo... También podremos asistir a la inaudita confesión de un enchufe, una voz que contará la odisea que le llevó a habitar allí dentro; o a la aventura de un joven que viaja por Europa y se encuentra en Londres con un escritor del siglo XIX que ha pactado con el diablo para viajar al futuro y comprobar así su posible ingreso en la Historia de la Literatura; una pequeña obra maestra sobre la textura del tiempo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Javier Argüello is, without doubt, one of the most intriguing authors writing in Spanish today." -Zenda
This stunning volume includes seven fantastic stories that both recall and reinvent a genre founded by Gogol, Poe, Maupassant and Borges. In his subtle but efficient style, Argüello crafts unsettling, sometimes terrifying tales that test our notion of reality. Each of the seven pieces captivates the reader with the rhythm of its prose and compelling characters and storylines. These include the dilemma of a man who thinks he is writing a story but is in fact a character in someone else's, trapping him in a web of fiction. We are kept in suspense by the incredible story of a worker hired by an astronomy professor to build an underground house, because something horrible is about to happen to Earth. We hear the voice of a person trapped inside an electrical socket, who describes the odyssey that led him there. A young man traveling around Europe meets a nineteenth-century author who made a pact with the Devil, allowing him to travel forward in time to see if his works have made an impression on literature. In short, this book is a small treasure about the nature and texture of time.

Cute, comfortable waterproof boots (a little snug to put on)
Size: 7, Color: Velvet Tan/Gum 2
These are really cute Chelsea-style boots and feel very comfortable once they’re on. The waterproof material is great for wet weather and the sole feels sturdy with good traction. They look stylish enough to wear casually but still feel practical for rainy days.
The only downside is they can be a little difficult to put on at first because the opening is somewhat snug, but once they’re on they fit well and feel supportive. Overall they’re a great waterproof boot and I’ve enjoyed wearing them.

Surprisingly great for my wide feet and high instep!
Size: 10.5, Color: Velvet Tan/Gum 2
So thrilled I took a chance on these. Finding boots is impossible for me. I have wide feet, a super high instep, a bunion on one foot, and I wear a hard to find size (10.5). I ordered the 10.5 and 11 in these expecting I might need to size up for width (if I could even get them on). It was a struggle getting the 10.5s on the first time, and once I did they were somewhat uncomfortable on the top of my left foot. But I read that they would relax so decided to give it a go because I need waterproof boots for an upcoming trip and the 11s felt too long. After two days of light wear, they are already breaking in and I have no more discomfort. Getting them on is already easier and they are plenty wide enough and very comfortable to walk in. These are true to size. Super happy and worth a day of mild discomfort to break them in!

Comfortable, sturdy, waterproof
Size: 9.5, Color: Black/Black
Loce, love, love these boots. Have walked ten miles with no foot pain around NYC. They go with everything and and are so comfortable. As they are waterproof/resistant, they get a little warm in high temps, but perfect three-season boots.

Super cute, comfortable, practical, love that they are slip on
Size: 10.5, Color: Tobacco/Black
I have worn these 2-3 times already. The first day was a school/work day so I was on my feet 9 hours and the only issue I had was with the side of the boot rubbing against my ankle. I just make sure I wear socks high enough to cover my ankles or jeans that go into the boots now for long wear days.
Absolutely love them! They keep my feet dry in this snow( we live in Michigan). I had been looking for a pair like this for awhile now and was getting super frustrated that I couldn't find my size in any that I liked. I saw that they had these available in a 10.5 and I wear 11. I looked at the Sorel website reviews (since the amazon ones weren't super helpful on sizing) and they said that the boots ran big so I took a chance on the 10.5 fitting me. They fit perfect. I have long narrow feet but I could see where they would be tight or uncomfortable on someone with wider feet. I've been trying to find a pair for my mom now since she has boot envy.
