Quizás sea el libro más famoso de toda la producción de Federico García Lorca (1898-1936), compuesto entre 1924 y 1927 Y publicado al año siguiente. Se trata de una revitalización del romanticismo, con su concisión, su dialogismo, su intensidad emocional. Con el Romancero gitano la poesía española consiguió uno de sus más grandes éxitos. El romance español no había tenido una popularidad mayor desde Góngora. Ni el desgarrado tipo del gitano una mejor expresión artística. Pocas veces en literatura se ha logrado una eficacia tan fácil en poemas breves, mojados de arte y de ternura. 

 

Gracias a Lorca el mundo de los gitanos quedaría convertido en un mito cuyo significado es evidente, se trata del destino trágico, siempre omnipresente. Son protagonistas al margen de un mundo convencional y hostil, marcados por la frustración o la muerte con ansias de vivir que se estrellan contra convenciones y trahas. 

 

Lorca funde admirablemente lo culto con lo popular y un portentoso poder de creación lleva a sembrar los romances de metáforas audaces que sin embargo, no debilitan su alcance humano. 

Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955) es quizás uno de los físicos más famosos de todos los tiempos. Su teoría de la relatividad, junto con la mecánica cuántica, es uno de los pilares fundamentales de la física moderna. Además contribuyó mucho a la percepción y profundización de la filosofía de la ciencia, encaminando el pensamiento científico hacia campos antes dominados por la filosofía y teología, promoviendo la búsqueda de las verdades y los misterios del universo a través de la ciencia aplicada. Los textos de este volumen son una muestra del pensamiento de Albert Einstein, una selección de cartas, charlas, discursos, ensayos y artículos que no solo humanizan a su intelecto excepcional, sino que ahondan en la variedad de intereses, ideas y preocupaciones de su autor.

Jane Eyre was the first novel of English writer and poet Charlotte Brontë (1816-1855).The novel narrates the life of Jane Eyre,the titular character,and her emotional journey to womanhood as a governess in Thornfield Hall. 

Charlotte Brontë used the story of Jane Eyre as a canvas for emotional discovery and spiritual sensibility,reaching depths previously reserved almost exclusively for poetry.

 

To this day it remains the most important and recognized work of Charlotte Brontë and one of the most famous novels in the English language.

 

Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was an American writer and poet and one of the most preeminent figures of Gothic Literature.He is widely recognized as a master of the short story form,but also delved into poetry,essays and literary criticismo 

His work often revolved around dark and macabre thernes,using death and the human mind\'s deepest fears to craft cornplex stories about a vast array of subjecrs.

 

He laid the groundwork for the modern detective story,he elevated his prose with poetic imagery and he always pushed the limits of his portrayal of the most basic human nature at least for the standards of the time. 

Dracula is without a shadow of a doubt one of the most recognizable characters in all Gothic and horror literature.The novel was published in 1897 by lrish writer Bram Stoker (1847-1912),and although it enjoyed good reviews,it had very modest sales.

His work was compared by critics  Edgar ABan Poe and Mary Shelley\'s in both thernes and atmosphere,but Stoker\'s style of epistolary storytelling created a more compelling narrative.Stoker was not the first to come up with vampires or even the name "Dracula",as he was heavily influenced by European folklore,Cothic novels, penny dreadfol serials, and even history books.

 

Nevertheless,me amalgamation of such diverse elements resulted in a story that has transcended me test of time. 

The Scarlet Letter is a novel written by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne and published in 1850.The story takes place in the Puritan Boston of the mid 17th century and revolves around a woman named Hester Prynne,who conceived a child out of wedlock and was forced to wear a scarlet letter \'A\' (Adulreress) which condemns her to alife of struggle and humiliation. 

The novel deals with the social and moral themes typical of the time and geographical setting.Puritanism was a way of life in rhose days especially in Massachusettsand many women and men faced trials and punishrnenr for their "sins" and "misconducrs".The story centres on Hester and her daughter and how she deals with her morherhood as a social outcast,but the author rakes every chance he gets to comment on morality,human nature,legality and guilt. 

Tbe Scarlet Letter was received well by critics,with the obligatory outcry from religious leaders for the risqué subject matter of the story, but nevertheless enjoyed a resounding commercial success amongst readers.Ir was one of the first mass-produced books in America,rapidly becoming a symbol of the renaissance of American literature in the 19th century.

 

Nathaniel Hawthorne\'s work has endured the test of time for the human appeal of his stories and the deep psychological complexity of his characters. 

Lewis Carroll (1832-1898) was the pseudonym of English mathematician and writer Charles Lutwidge Dogson.His fragile health and intellectual curiosity led him to develop a shy and withdrawn personality that clashed with the adults around him,although he always felt at ease amongst children. 

His most famous works are Alice in Wonderland (1865) and its continuation,through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There (1871),both filled with magic and fantasy and written especially for kids.The author achieved great commercial success with his noveIs and became one of the most quoted English writers,after Shakespeare. 

In Alice in Wonderland, the world of the adults,the incomprehensible real world,boring and complex for children,quickly makes way for a more interesting and colourfullandscape,full with strange characters and amazing adventures for Alice and her readers.

 

Carroll was a master of literary nonsense,as a way of subverting language conventions or logical reasoning,creating a very thin line between humour and surrealism to emphasize the whimsical nature of his fantasy.Paradoxes and word play are a staple of the author\'s work,captivating children and adults alike and all over the world.
