    COP $ 31.000
    De Blas de Otero a José Antonio Blanc, de Bernardo Atxaga a Pedro Ugarte, pasando por Ramón Irigoyen, Julia Ochoa, Eduardo Apodaca y José Fernández de la Sota, los trabajos que se reúnen en este libro no tienen una voluntad sistemática, no pretenden reflejar un panorama completo de la literatura vasca actual, sino dar pequeños apuntes sobre algunos aspectos de la producción literaria contemporánea en el País Vasco.Por otro lado, los ensayos que se recogen en este breve volumen son la crónica de un desengaño: el desengaño que supone la aceptación de unos límites para la labor que el crítico realiza, la incapacidad de llegar a aprehender que arde en el fondo de cada creación artística, una luz que perdura más allá del análisis. Un jurado compuesto por Fanny Rubio, Miguel Sánchez Ostiz y Raúl Guerra Garrido concedió a este libro el Premio Miguel de Unamuno de Ensayo en 1991.Por otro lado, los ensayos que se recogen en este breve volumen son la crónica de un desengaño: el desengaño que supone la aceptación de unos límites para la labor que el crítico realiza, la incapacidad de llegar a aprehender que arde en el fondo de cada creación artística, una luz que perdura más allá del análisis.

    COP $ 43.000
    Una colección de historias en las que se comprueba que la realidad admite múltiples interpretaciones. Por ejemplo, que no existe nada parecido a una frase dicha al azar, sino que ésta esconde un enigma que es posible desentrañar; que una hoja de papel tiene dos lados, una cinta de Moëbius uno, y un profesor contorsionista ninguno; o que entre rinocerontes devotos de los rábanos salvajes y zorrillos libidinosos, también el hombre moderno tiene su lugar en la cadena ecológica. Y además se verá que es literalmente cierto que alguien pueda morirse de risa; que la influencia de la luna no se reduce solamente a las mareas y que, visto por otros ojos, hasta el comportamiento más civilizado parece incomprensiblemente ridículo, todo relatado por once virtuosos del cuento breve.

  3. Jude the obscure

    COP $ 28.000
    This book is a rural stone mason with intellectual aspirations. Frustrated by poverty and the indifference of the academic institutions at the University of Christminster, his only chance of fulfilment seems to lie in his relationship with his unconventional cousin, Sue Bridehead. But life as social outcasts proves undermining, and when tragedy occurs, Sue has no resilience and Jude is left in despair.Hardys portrait of Jude, the idealist and dreamer who is a prisoner of his own physical nature, is one of the most haunting and desperate of his creations. This text is a dark yet compassionate account of the insurmountable frustrations of human existence which reflect Hardys yearning for the spiritual values of the past and his despair at their decline.Nota: el contenido de este libro se encuentra en inglés.Hardys portrait of Jude, the idealist and dreamer who is a prisoner of his own physical nature, is one of the most haunting and desperate of his creations.

    COP $ 28.000
    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.

In this novel. Conrad draws on his background as Polish emigré, as well as his first-hand experience as a seaman, to experiment radically with the presentation of human frailty and doubt in the modern world.

    There he lay looking as if youth had been halfrenewed, for the white hair and moustache were changed to dark iron grey: the cheeks were fuller, and the white ski n seemed ruby-red underneath: the mouth was redder than ever, for on the lips were gouts of fresh blood, which trickled from the corners of the mouth and ran over the chin and neck. Even the deep, burning eyes seemed set amongst swollen flesh, for the lids and ponches underneath were bloated. It seemed as if the whole awful creature were simply gorged with blood: he lay like a filthy leech, exhausted with his repletion. Nota: el contenido de este libro se encuentra en inglés.

    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.

    COP $ 28.000
    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.
