This book tells the story of Lily Bart, aged 29, beautiful, impoverished and in need of a rich husband to safeguard her place in the social elite, and to support her expensive habits-her clothes, her charities and her gambling. Unwilling to marry without both love and money, Lily becomes vulnerable to the kind of gossip and slander which attach to a girl who has been on the marriage market for too long. Wharton charts the course of Lilys life, providing, along the way, a wider picture of a society in transition, a rapidly changing New York where the old certainties of manners, morals and family have disappeared and the individual has become an expendable commodity. This text was published in October 1905 to widespread critical acclaim. It became an instant bestseller and is regarded today as one of Edith Wharton\'s most accomplished and compelling social satires. Nota: el contenido de este libro se encuentra en inglés.

René Descartes (1569-1650), the \'father\' of modern philosophy, is without doubt one of the greatest thinkers in history: his genius lies at the core of our contemporary intellectual identity. Breaking with the conventions of his own time and suffering persecution by the Church as a consequence, Descartes in his writings-most of which are philosophical classics-attempted to answer the central questions surrounding the self, God, free-will and knowledge, using the science of thought as opposed to received wisdom based on the tenets of faith. This edition, the most comprehensive one volume selection of Descartes works available in English, includes his great essay, Discourse on Method.

Interest in supernatural phenomena was high during Charles Dickens \' lifetime. He had always loved a good ghost story himself, particularly at Christmas time, and was open-minded, willing to accept, and indeed put to the test, the existence of spirits. His natural inclinations toward drama and the macabre made him a brilliant teller of ghost tales, and in the twenty stories presented here, which include his celebrated A Christmas Carol, the full range of his gothic talents can be seen. Chilling as some of these stories are, Dickens has managed to inject characteristically grotesque comedy as he writes of revenge, insanity. Pre-cognition and dream visions, he indulges also in some debunking of contemporary credulity. Nota: el contenido de este libro se encuentra en inglés.

Our Mutual Friend, Dickens\' last novel, gives one of his most comprehensive and penetrating accounts of Victorian society. Its vision of a culture stifled by materialistic values emerges not just through its central narratives. but through its apparently incidental characters and scenes. The chief of its several plots centres on John Harmon who returns to England as his father\'s heir. He is believed drowned under suspicious circumstancesa situation convenient to his wish for anonymity until he can evaluate Bella Wilfer whom he must marry to secure his inheritance. The story is filled with colourful characters and incidents the faded aristocrats and parvenus gathered at the Veneering\'s dinner table, Betty Higden and her terror of the workhouse and the greedy plottings of Silas Wegg.

The ideas of Plato (c429-3471BC) have influenced Western philosophers for over two thousand years. Such is his importance that the twentieth-century philosopher A. N. Whitehead described all subsequent developments within the subject as foot-notes to Plato\'s work. Beyond philosophy, he has exerted a major influence on the development of Western literature, politics and theology. The Republic deals with the great range of Plato\'s thought, but is particularly concerned with what makes a well-balanced society and individual. It combines argument -and myth to advocate a life organised by reason rather than dominated by desires and appetites. Regarded by some as the foundation document of totalitarianism, by others as a call to develop the full potential of humanity, the Republic remains a challenging and intensely exciting work.
