Bleak House is one of Dickens\'s finest achievements, establishing his reputation as a serious and mature novelist, as well as a brilliant comic writer. It is at once a complex mystery story that fully engages the reader in the work of detection, and an unforgettable indictment of an indifferent society. Its representations of a great city\'s dark underworld, and of the law\'s corruption and delay, draw upon the author\'s personal knowledge and experience. But it is his symbolic art that projects these things in a vision that embraces black comedy, cosmic farce, and tragic ruin. In a unique creative experiment, Dickens divides the narrative between his heroine, Esther Summerson, who is psychologically interesting in her own right, and an unnamed narrator whose perspective both complements and challenges hers.

Living overseas but writing, always, about his native city. The stories in Dubuners show us truants, seducers, gossips, rally-drivers, generous hostesses, corrupt politicians, failing priests, amateur theologians, struggling musicians, moony adolescents, victims of domestic brutishness, sentimental aunts and poets, patriots earnest or cynical, and people simply striving to get by. In every sense an international figure, Joyce was faithful to his own country by seeing it unflinchingly and challenging every precedent and piety in Irish literature.

Far from the Madding Crowd is perhaps the most pastoral of Hardy\'s Wessex novels. It tells the story of the young farmer Gabriel Oak and his love for and pursuit of the elusive Bathsheba Everdene, whose wayward nature Ieads her to both tragedy and true love. It tells of the dashing Sergeant Troy whose rakish philosophy of life was ... the past was yesterday: the future, tomorrow: never, the day after \', and lastly, of the introverted and reclusive gentleman farmer, Mr. Boldwood, whose love fills him with ....a fearful sense of exposure, when he first sets eyes on Bathsheba. The background to this compelling story is the majesty of the wessex countryside in all its moods, contriving to make it one of the most English of great English novels.

This edition presents the classic free translation by Edward Fitzgerald of the great Persian poem (Rubáiyát) by the 12th century astronomer and poet - Omar Khayyám. Fitzgerald\'s masterful translation was first published as an anonymous pamphlet in 1859. Its colourful, exotic and remote imagery greatly appealed to the Victorian ages fascination with the Orient, while its luxurious sensual warmth acted as a striking counterpoint to the growth of scientific determinism, industrialisation and the soulless Darwinian doctrine of the survival of the fittest. Greatly praised by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Swinburne, Ruskin and William Morris, the romantic melancholy of the poem anticipates the poetry of Matthew Arnold and Thomas Hardy, while its epicurean motifs link it to the Aesthetic Movement.Nota: el contenido de este libro se encuentra en inglés.Nota: el contenido de este libro se encuentra en inglés.

The Turn of the Screw is the classic ghost story for which Henry James is best remembered. Set in an English country house, it is a chilling tale of the supernatural told by a master of the genre. The Aspern Papers is a tale of Americans in Europe, a theme in which Henry James is at his most assured and accomplished. The author cleverly evokes the drama of the comédie humaine against the majestic setting of a Venetian palace. Nota: El contenido de este libro se encuentra en inglés.

As You like it is one of Shakespeares finest romantic comedies, variously lyrical, melancholy, satiric, comic and absurd. Its highly implausible plot generates a profusion of love-lorn men, a resourceful heroine in disguise, sexual ambiguity, melancholy philosophising and finally a multiplicity of marriages. The ironic medley of pastoral artifice, romantic ardour and quizzical reflection has helped to make As You Like it perennially popular in the theatre. The text of this edition is taken, by arrangement, from the Cambridge University Press \'New Shakespeare\', edited by Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch and John Dover Wilson.Nota: el contenido de este libro se encuentra en inglés.

Wilde\'s only novel first published in 1890, is a brilliantly designed puzzle, intended to tease conventional minds with its exploration of the myriad interrelationships between art, life, and consequence, From its provocative Preface, challenging the reader to believe in \'art for art`s sake, to its sensational conclusion, the story self consciously experiments with the notion of sin as an clement of design. Yet Wilde himself underestimated the consequences of his experiment, and its capacity to outrage the Victorian establishment. Its words returned to haunt him in his court appearances in 1895, and he later recalled the \'note of doom\' which runs like \'a purple thread\' through its carefully crafted prose.
