Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein first made a name for themselves with the outrageously funny New York Times bestseller Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar.... Now they turn their attention to the Big \"D\" and share the timeless wisdom of the great philosophers, theologians, psychotherapists, and wiseguys. From angels to zombies and everything in between, Cathcart and Klein offer a fearless and irreverent history of how we approach death, why we embrace life, and whether there really is a hereafter. As hilarious as it is enlightening, Heidegger and a Hippo Walk Through Those Pearly Gates is a must-read for anyone and everyone who ever expects to die. And now, you can read Daniel Klein's further musings on life and philosophy in Travels with Epicurus and Every Time I Find the Meaning of Life, They Change it.",

Parece dirigido a ti, a nadie más\": asícomienza Aura, novela hechizante, donde lo verdadero es lo imposible, donde el amor a la vez sacrifica y devuelve la vida, y la inmortalidad tiene un precio que algunos están dispuestos a pagar.Pocos textos en la literatura mexicana de imaginación tienen la belleza y la expresividad de este relato en que los procedimientos de la ficción están llevados a sus últimas consecuencias. Las imágenes del sueño alteran la realidad o la realidad se ve contaminada por el sueño. El hecho es que Carlos Fuentes, dueño de todos sus recursos, empleando una nueva, eficaz libertad literaria que revive antiguos mitos e inventa símbolos nuevos, ha dado aliento a una atmósfera de sombras y ecos donde está manifiesto el tema de la verdadera identidad, donde el erotismo es una afirmación invencible de la vida y donde el amor vuelve a unirse, por encima del tiempo, a través del mal y de la muerte.Aura es más que una intensa historia de fantasmas: es una lúcida y alucinada exploración de lo sobrenatural, un encuentro de esa vaga frontera entre la irrealidad y lo tangible, esa zona del arte donde el horror engendra la hermosura.",
