The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson • 2021
This complete compendium of Emily Dickinson's poetry offers the reader a vivid portrait of one of Massachusetts' most famous and enigmatic poets.<br/><br/>Although a greatly talented writer, Emily Dickinson lived most of her life in private seclusion, in contrast to the culture of the time which emphasized community and socializing. Throughout her life, Emily's family ensured her care and comfort; she lived a life characterized by quiet self-seclusion. Emily's early life ensured a great standard of education, with her aunts in particular noting her inclination toward musical and literary interests.<br/><br/>Contemporary scholars generally agree that Emily Dickinson's isolation was chiefly the result of a persistent depression. The death of a school principal she admired, and of several friends, plummeted her toward isolation during the prime of her life. Despite her illness, she managed to travel with her family to see life beyond her hometown of Amhurst and publish a few of her poems.<br/><br/>In later life, Dickinson spent much of her time looking after her ailing mother in complete seclusion. During these years she compiled all of her poetry from youth, redrafted many entries, and meticulously organized her work into manuscript books which her sister discovered shortly after her death at the home.<br/><br/>For its eloquence and beauty, Emily Dickinson's poems is regarded as one of the greatest examples of American verse, and today commonly comprises school syllabuses in the United States.

Idea Vilariño • 2022
«LLEGÓ LA HORA DE IDEA VILARIÑO: UN CLÁSICO DE LA LITERATURA LATINOAMERICANA» (EL PAÍS)<br/><br/>«Idea Vilariño habla con el corazón en un puño.» —Manuel Vilas<br/><br/>«Carnal y feroz, libérrima pero pulida hasta el fi lo de lo esencial.» —Raquel Garzón, El País<br/><br/>«Forma parte de ese nutrido grupo de escritoras del siglo XX que nos queda por redescubrir.» —Edurne Portela<br/><br/>Aunque la autora ha mantenido a lo largo de su vida una actitud casi monacal con respecto a la difusión de su obra, hoy día está considerada como uno de los clásicos vivos de las letras hispanoamericanas.<br/><br/>Su poesía -escasa y sobria, lentamente madurada- transita siempre por los extremos, tensa, como acorralada por una íntima urgencia. Quizá el asunto que con mayor frecuencia aparece en esta poesía sea la muerte, pero una muerte que late y se experimenta en el esplendor de la vida, en los golpes del amor, en los embates del sexo, en la dialéctica entre ausencia y recuerdo.<br/><br/>La lectura de estos poemas conforma una experiencia intensa y perdurable y supone el descubrimiento de una de las voces más contundentes y secretamente bellas de la poesía contemporánea.<br/><br/>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION<br/><br/>“IDEA VILARIÑO’S TIME HAS COME: A CLASSIC IN LATIN AMERICAN LITERATURE" (EL PAÍS)<br/><br/>Although throughout her life, Vilariño has maintained an almost reclusive attitude regarding the publication of her life’s work, today she is considered one of the living classics of Latin American narrative.<br/><br/>Her poetry -scarce, sober, and slowly matured-always moves through the extremes, tense, as if cornered by a discreet urgency. Perhaps the most frequently recurring theme that appears in her poetry is death, but a death with a beating heart, one that moves about in the splendor of life, in the blows of love, in the onslaught of sex, and in the interaction between absence and memories.<br/><br/>The act of reading these poems exposes readers to an intense and lasting experience and supposes the discovery of one of the most forceful and secretly beautiful voices of contemporary poetry.<br/><br/>“Idea Vilariño speaks by wearing her heart on her sleeve.” -Manuel Vilas<br/><br/>“Carnal and fierce, free but sharp until the edge of what’s essential.” -Raquel Garzon, El Pais<br/><br/>“Vilariño is part of that large group of 20th century writers that we have yet to rediscover.” -Edurne Portela
The Collected Poems.
Sylvia Plath • 2016
<p>Pulitzer Prize winner Sylvia Plath's complete poetic works, edited and introduced by Ted Hughes.</p> <p>By the time of her death on 11, February 1963, Sylvia Plath had written a large bulk of poetry. To my knowledge, she never scrapped any of her poetic efforts. With one or two exceptions, she brought every piece she worked on to some final form acceptable to her, rejecting at most the odd verse, or a false head or a false tail. Her attitude to her verse was artisan-like: if she couldn't get a table out of the material, she was quite happy to get a chair, or even a toy. The end product for her was not so much a successful poem, as something that had temporarily exhausted her ingenuity. So this book contains not merely what verse she saved, but--after 1956--all she wrote.--Ted Hughes, from the Introduction</p>
The Raven: Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe • 2016
The Raven FULLY ILLUSTRATED Edgar Allan Poe Illustrated by Gustave Doré "The Raven" is a narrative poem by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. First published in January 1845, the poem is often noted for its musicality, stylized language, and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man's slow fall into madness. The lover, often identified as being a student, is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. Sitting on a bust of Pallas, the raven seems to further instigate his distress with its constant repetition of the word "Nevermore". The poem makes use of a number of folk, mythological, religious, and classical references. Poe claimed to have written the poem very logically and methodically, intending to create a poem that would appeal to both critical and popular tastes, as he explained in his 1846 follow-up essay, "The Philosophy of Composition". The poem was inspired in part by a talking raven in the novel Barnaby Rudge: A Tale of the Riots of 'Eighty by Charles Dickens. Poe borrows the complex rhythm and meter of Elizabeth Barrett's poem "Lady Geraldine's Courtship", and makes use of internal rhyme as well as alliteration throughout.

A Room of One's Own
Virginia Woolf • 1989
“I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.”<br/><br/>In A Room of One’s Own, Virginia Woolf imagines that Shakespeare had a sister—a sister equal to Shakespeare in talent, and equal in genius, but whose legacy is radically different. This imaginary woman never writes a word and dies by her own hand, her genius unexpressed. If only she had found the means to create, argues Woolf, she would have reached the same heights as her immortal sibling.<br/><br/>In this classic essay, Woolf takes on the establishment, using her gift of language to dissect the world around her and give voice to those who are without. Her message is a simple one: women must have a steady income and a room of their own in order to have the freedom to create.<br/><br/>With a Foreword by Mary Gordon

Frankenstein
Mary Shelley • 2020
Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, is a novel written by English author Mary Shelley about the young student of science Victor Frankenstein, who creates a grotesque but sentient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was eighteen, and the novel was published when she was twenty. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818. Shelley's name appears on the second edition, published in France in 1823.Shelley had travelled through Europe in 1814, journeying along the river Rhine in Germany with a stop in Gernsheim which is just 17 km (10 mi) away from Frankenstein Castle, where two centuries before an alchemist was engaged in experiments. Later, she travelled in the region of Geneva (Switzerland)—where much of the story takes place—and the topics of galvanism and other similar occult ideas were themes of conversation among her companions, particularly her lover and future husband, Percy Shelley. Mary, Percy, Lord Byron, and John Polidori decided to have a competition to see who could write the best horror story. After thinking for days, Shelley dreamt about a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made; her dream later evolved into the story within the novel.

George Orwell • 1961
<b>Written more than 70 years ago, <i>1984</i> was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever...<br><br><b>• Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s <i>The Great American Read •</i></b><br></b><br>“<i>The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.</i>”<br><br>Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can’t escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching...<br><br>A startling and haunting novel, <i>1984</i> creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the novel’s hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions—a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.

Te di ojos y miraste las tinieblas (Spanish Edition)
Irene Solà Saez • 2023
Una novela desbordante, llena de historias y personajes malditos más allá del tiempo.<br/>Escondida entre riscos lejanos, en algún remoto lugar de las Guillerías transitado por cazadores de lobos, bandoleros, emboscados, carlistas, hechiceras, maquis, pilotos de rally, fantasmas, bestias y demonios, la masía Clavell se agarra al suelo como una garrapata. Es una casa, sobre todo, habitada por mujeres, y donde un solo día contiene siglos de recuerdos. Los de Joana, que para encontrar marido hizo un pacto que inauguró una progenie aparentemente maldita. Los de Bernadeta, a quien le faltan las pestañas y, de tanta agua de tomillo que le vertieron en los ojos cuando era una niña, acabó por ver lo que no debía. Los de Margarida, que en vez de un corazón entero tiene uno de tres cuartos, rabioso. O los de Blanca, que nació sin lengua, con la boca como un nido vacío, y no habla, solo observa. Estas mujeres, y más, hoy preparan una fiesta.

Horror
Dracula
Bram Stoker • 2017
When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula with the purchase of a London house, he makes horrifying discoveries about his client and his castle. Soon afterwards, a number of disturbing incidents unfold in England: an unmanned ship is wrecked at Whitby; strange puncture marks appear on a young woman's neck; and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the imminent arrival of his 'Master'. In the ensuing battle of wits between the sinister Count Dracula and a determined group of adversaries, Bram Stoker created a masterpiece of the horror genre, probing deeply into questions of human identity and sanity, and illuminating dark corners of Victorian sexuality and desire.
Carmilla
J. Sheridan LeFanu • 2020
The Novel predating Bram Stoker's Dracula. Complete edition<br/>Carmilla is an 1872 Gothic novella by Irish author Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and one of the early works of vampire fiction, predating Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897) by 26 years. First published as a serial in The Dark Blue (1871–72), the story is narrated by a young woman preyed upon by a female vampire named Carmilla. The character is a prototypical example of the lesbian vampire, expressing romantic desires toward the protagonist. The novella notably never acknowledges homosexuality as an antagonistic trait, leaving it subtle and relatively unmentioned. The story is often anthologized and has been adapted many times in film and other media.
