This simple and haunting story captures the transience of life arid its surrounding emotions. To the Lighthouse is the most autobiographical of Virginia Woolf\'s novels. It is based on her own early experiences, and while it touches on childhood and children\'s perceptions and desires, it is at its most trenchant when exploring adult relationships, marriage and the changing class structure in the period spanning the Great War.

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.

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.
