Аннотация
Caña Moral representa fielmente lo que pasa en cierta clase alta chilena. Una clase alta millennial que no quiere perder sus privilegios, y que mira desde lo alto y con desdén la forma en la que viven los que no pertenecen a su círculo de clase. Esta es la historia de una noche en la que la droga y el alcohol guiarán las acciones de un grupo de hombres blancos, heterosexuales, dando cuenta de la miseria moral con la que establecen sus relaciones. Mientras la noche avanza, aparece la violencia y la sangre, las máscaras se caen y queda claro que tarde o temprano la burbuja en la que viven se va a romper.

Phineas Redux Anthony Trollope – When Phineas's wife dies, he becomes discontented with his life as a minor government functionary and longs to return to his exciting former career of politics in London. His luck is as strong as ever; his party is seeking to return to power with fresh blood, and with its support, he is once again elected to Parliament.
However, he makes a bitter enemy within his own party, Mr. Bonteen. When Bonteen is murdered, there are two strong suspects: Phineas and the Reverend Mr Emilius (a disreputable major character in the third Palliser novel, The Eustace Diamonds). Bonteen had helped Lady Eustace get her marriage to Emilius annulled (he found out that Emilius already had a wife). The circumstantial evidence all points to Phineas. In addition, Emilius has an airtight alibi: he was in his lodgings, and the door was locked by his landlady, who had the only key. As a result, Phineas is charged and brought to trial. The entire nation is thrilled by the prospect of a Member of Parliament being convicted of murder.
Madame Max Goestler, still strongly in love with Phineas (as detailed in the novel Phineas Finn), travels to the Continent on his behalf. She finds and brings back a locksmith who copied a key for Emilius, destroying his alibi. Phineas is acquitted, though the evidence isn't strong enough to bring Emilius to justice.
Worn out by the ordeal, Phineas resigns his seat and marries the overjoyed Madame Max. (Both Phineas and Madame Max resurface in later Palliser novels.)

Аннотация
Publicada originalmente en 1971, en México, esta novela de Hernán Valdés tuvo una escasa repercusión en Chile, donde es la obra más silenciada de su literatura por circunstancias históricas y políticas, no por su calidad. Por esta tendría que estar entre sus altas cumbres. Por aquellas se adelantó a su tiempo y vio en un viaje a la Checoslovaquia de los sesenta el fin del proyecto comunista. Novela de formación en la que dos personajes –uno el maestro, en el que se percibe el perfil de Teófilo Cid; el otro el discípulo, en el que se adivina al autor joven– se toman el escenario en un juego de correspondencias. A ellos se suman como otros personajes la memoria, la musa y la ciudad, ofrecidos al lector con el cuidadoso empleo del lenguaje, en el que se reconoce la huella del poeta de Apariciones y desapariciones. Enrique Lihn, uno de los pocos que hizo una lectura crítica en 1972, y quien con ella estimuló post mortem al autor a reescribirla, señala: «La lectura de Zoom incita a una polémica con respecto de la cual la novela se desentiende. Pues ella cumple con una función a la vez inquietante y receptiva, desplegándose en un plano rigurosamente literario». Un ejercicio refrescante de ensamblaje de distintos enfoques teóricos para abordar un problema tan longevo: la construcción de mejores arreglos sociales que combinen estabilidad, gobernabilidad y justicia social. Mediante una pluma precisa y llana, su autor hilvana un agudo examen del contexto político chileno y ofrece una propuesta para pensar sus desafíos. Yanira Zúñiga, Universidad Austral de Chile
Guillermo Larraín pone en un completo, reflexivo y muy oportuno libro un conjunto de ideas muy importantes para entender el Chile de hoy y para pensar nuestro futuro conjunto. Presenta su visión como académico, hacedor de políticas, intelectual y ciudadano de un modo cercano, y con ello estimula conversaciones sobre nuestro contrato social. Francisco Gallego, Pontificia Universidad Católica
Desde el 2019 han proliferado estudios que intentan explicar por qué Chile, uno de los países más prósperos de América Latina, entró en una severa crisis de legitimidad. Echando mano de la economía política y otras ciencias sociales, Larraín ofrece un novedoso aporte para entender los orígenes —y posibles salidas— a la encrucijada en que se encuentra el país.
