Anna Karenina
Leo Tolstoy · 2014
Love... it means too much to me, far more than you can understand. At its simplest, Anna Karenina is a love story. It is a portrait of a beautiful and intelligent woman whose passionate love for a handsome officer sweeps aside all other ties - to her marriage and to the network of relationships and moral values that bind the society around her. The love affair of Anna and Vronsky is played out alongside the developing romance of Kitty and Levin, and in the character of Levin, closely based on Tolstoy himself, the search for happiness takes on a deeper philosophical significance. One of the greatest novels ever written, Anna Karenina combines penetrating psychological insight with an encyclopedic depiction of Russian life in the 1870s. The novel takes us from high society St Petersburg to the threshing fields on Levin's estate, with unforgettable scenes at a Moscow ballroom, the skating rink, a race course, a railway station. It creates an intricate labyrinth of connections that is profoundly satisfying, and deeply moving. Rosamund Bartlett's translation conveys Tolstoy's precision of meaning and emotional accuracy in an English version that is highly readable and stylistically faithful. Like her acclaimed biography of Tolstoy, it is vivid, nuanced, and compelling.

La campana de cristal
Sylvia Plath · 2022
Una nueva edición de la novela icónica de Sylvia Plath, con traducción inédita de Eugenia Vázquez Nacarino y prólogo de Aixa de la Cruz, que da una nueva lectura en pleno reflujo de la más reciente oleada feminista.<br/>«Respiré profundamente y escuché el antiguo estribillo de mi corazón.<br/>Yo soy, yo soy, yo soy».<br/>Esta es la historia de una chica que tiene todo lo que una joven puede desear en el Nueva York de los años cincuenta: una carrera prometedora, un pretendiente que estudia medicina y toda una vida por delante. Esther Greenwood ha ganado una beca para trabajar en una revista de moda en la gran ciudad y siente que por fin podrá realizar su sueño de ser escritora. Pero entre cócteles, noches de fiesta y pilas de manuscritos descubre una sociedad que repudia las aspiraciones de las mujeres y su vida empieza a desmoronarse. Esther -alter ego de la autora- se encierra en sí misma, como si estuviera atrapada en una campana de cristal: respirando continuamente el mismo aire viciado y sin posibilidad de escapar.<br/><br/>Más de cincuenta años después de su publicación original, La campana de cristal se ha convertido en un clásico moderno, y las palabras de Plath, con la nueva traducción de Eugenia Vázquez Nacarino, conservan todo su impacto. Esta obra icónica, como dice Aixa de la Cruz en el prólogo, «viaja al presente como una corriente eléctrica y nos interpela de tú a tú, sin mediaciones».<br/>La crítica ha dicho...<br/>«Sylvia Plath no es un genio cualquiera, su sombra caliente rodea las gargantas de miles de lectores, de aspirantes a poeta y de adolescentes que quieren ser como ella: hermosa, fuerte, brutal [...]. Plath es un mito, sí. Plath es una musa. Plath es una marca que preside nuestras estanterías.»<br/>Luna Miguel<br/>«La novela en clave dolorosamente gráfica de Sylvia Plath, en la que una mujerlucha por su propia identidad ante la presión social, es un texto esencial en el feminismo angloamericano.»<br/>TheGuardian<br/>«Mantiene su poder después de cinco décadas.»<br/>TheTelegraph<br/>«Sylvia Plath se convirtió para mucha gente en una figura extraliteraria, en una heroína de las contradicciones: alguien que se enfrentó al horror, con el que supo crear algo, pero que también la destruyó.»<br/>The NewYorker<br/>«Esta novela contempla la locura del mundo y el mundo de la locura y nos fuerza a considerar el gran interrogante planteado en toda ficción verdaderamente realista:¿qué es la realidad y cómo podemos enfrentarnos a ella?»<br/>The New York TimesBooksReview

The Great Gatsby: The Original 1925 Edition (A F. Scott Fitzgerald Classic Novel)
F. Scott Fitzgerald · 2021
“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby<br/>The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald. Set in the Jazz Age on Long Island, the novel depicts narrator Nick Carraway's interactions with mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and Gatsby's obsession to reunite with his former lover, Daisy Buchanan.<br/>A youthful romance Fitzgerald had with socialite Ginevra King, and the riotous parties he attended on Long Island's North Shore in 1922 inspired the novel. Following a move to the French Riviera, he completed a rough draft in 1924. He submitted the draft to editor Maxwell Perkins, who persuaded Fitzgerald to revise the work over the following winter. After his revisions, Fitzgerald was satisfied with the text, but remained ambivalent about the book's title and considered several alternatives. The final title he desired was Under the Red, White, and Blue. Painter Francis Cugat's final cover design impressed Fitzgerald who incorporated a visual element from the art into the novel.<br/>Gatsby continues to attract popular and scholarly attention. The novel was most recently adapted to film in 2013 by director Baz Luhrmann, while contemporary scholars emphasize the novel's treatment of social class, inherited wealth compared to those who are self-made, race, environmentalism, and its cynical attitude towards the American dream. The Great Gatsby is widely considered to be a literary masterpiece and a contender for the title of the Great American Novel.<br/>A True Classic that Belongs on Every Bookshelf!

Cuando recibe una carta anunciándole la visita de su madre y su hermana en relación con los súbitos planes de boda de esta última, las fantasías de acabar con sus problemas a través del asesinato de la vieja prestamista a la cual suele recurrir van tomando cuerpo en su voluntad...<br/>Crimen y castigo (1866) es posiblemente la obra más lograda del autor. En ella, sirviéndose de una trama y de unos personajes que reúnen los mejores ingredientes de la novela del siglo XIX, se plantea el problema de la justificación o no de los actos, de la conciencia y de la culpa.<br/>Fiódor Dostoyevski (1821-1881) es, junto con Lev Tolstói, el gran novelista ruso del siglo XIX. Su vida y su creación literaria sufrieron un cambio radical después de que en 1849 fuera detenido y condenado a muerte, pena que se le conmutó en el último instante, por sus actividades contra el zar. Alianza Editorial tiene publicada prácticamente toda su obra.<br/>CENTENARIO DOSTOYEVSKI (1821-2021)

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.

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.

El Instituto
Stephen King · 2019
= SE RECLUTAN NIÑOS CON MENTES PRODIGIOSAS =<br/><br/>La nueva e inquietante novela del maestro Stephen King.<br/>En mitad de la noche en un barrio tranquilo de Minneapolis raptan a Luke Ellis, de doce años, tras haber asesinado a sus padres. Una operación que dura menos de dos minutos. Luke se despierta en la siniestra institución conocida como el Instituto, en un cuarto que se asemeja al suyo pero sin ventanas. En habitaciones parecidas hay más niños: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris y Avery Dixon, entre otros, que comparten capacidades especiales como la telequinesia o la telepatía. Todos ellos se alojan en la Mitad Delantera de la institución. Los mayores, en cambio, se encuentran en la Mitad Trasera. Como dice Kalisha: «El que entra no sale».<br/>La señora Sigsby, la directora, y el resto del personal se dedican a aprovecharse sin compasión del talento paranormal de los chicos. Si te portas bien te premian. Si no, el castigo es brutal. Luke se da cuenta de que las víctimas van desapareciendo y son trasladadas a la Mitad Trasera, así que se obsesiona con huir y pedir ayuda. Pero nunca nadie ha escapado del Instituto...<br/>Deudora de Ojos de fuego y con un elenco de personajes juveniles (como en It y en Stand By Me) con los que podemos empatizar, El Instituto nos recuerda de inmediato al mejor King, incluso aunque trate temas tan oscuros como los que copan los titulares hoy en día y que nos hacen temer por nuestro futuro.<br/>Reseñas:<br/>«Bajo los fuegos artificiales de su imaginación incansable, Stephen King nos muestra en sus mejores novelas que lo raro, lo extraordinario, lo verdaderamente insólito es vivir.»<br/>El Mundo<br/>«Las tramas de It y de El Instituto son totalmente distintas, pero en el fondo de ambas historias hay algo que el autor dice que le importa cada vez más estos días: no generar miedo, sino disiparlo.»<br/>The New York Times<br/>«Con el correr de los años, algo profundo ha cambiado en King. (...) Aquí está resumido lo sorprendente del nuevo Stephen King de El Instituto: su prosa.»<br/>La Razón<br/>«Una obra desgarradora, cómica, triste, feliz. Una obra en la que el terror no golpea sino que se arrastra. Su maestro vuelve a atacar.»<br/>El espectador

El extraño caso de Dr. Jekyll y Mr. Hyde (Clásicos ilustrados) (Spanish Edition)
Robert L. Stevenson · 2019
Robert Louis Stevenson was one of the giants of the adventure novel, but he was also one of the great connoisseurs of human mentality, which is why he would sooner or later write an everlasting classic like El extraño caso del doctor Jekyll y el señor Hyde.

Lúcido testigo de la Revolución Industrial ocurrida en el Reino Unido, Stevenson reflexiona acerca de los límites del método y de la ética científicos, pero, sobre todo y de una manera absorbente e inolvidable, de la dualidad entre el bien y el mal.

Metamorphosis
Franz Kafka · 2024
"Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka is a haunting and surreal exploration of existentialism and the human condition. This novella introduces readers to Gregor Samsa, a diligent traveling salesman who wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a gigantic insect. Kafka's narrative delves into the isolation, alienation, and absurdity that Gregor experiences as he grapples with his new identity. The novella is a profound examination of the individual's struggle to maintain a sense of self and belonging in a world that often feels incomprehensible. Kafka's writing is characterized by its dreamlike quality and a sense of impending doom. As Gregor's physical and emotional transformation unfolds, readers are drawn into a nightmarish world that blurs the lines between reality and illusion. "Metamorphosis" is a timeless work that continues to captivate readers with its exploration of themes such as identity, family, and the dehumanizing effects of modern society. Kafka's unique style and ability to evoke a sense of existential unease make this novella a literary classic. Step into the surreal and unsettling world of "Metamorphosis" and embark on a journey of self-discovery and existential reflection. Kafka's masterpiece challenges readers to confront the complexities of the human psyche and the enigmatic nature of existence. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was a Czech-born German-speaking novelist and short story writer whose works have had a profound influence on modern literature. Born in Prague, which was then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Kafka's writing is characterized by its exploration of existentialism, alienation, and the absurdity of human existence. Kafka's most famous works include "Metamorphosis," where the protagonist wakes up one morning transformed into a giant insect, and "The Trial," a nightmarish tale of a man arrested and tried by an inscrutable and oppressive bureaucracy. His writing often delves into the themes of isolation and the struggle to find meaning in an indifferent world. Despite his relatively small body of work, Kafka's impact on literature and philosophy has been immense. His writings have been interpreted in various ways, and the term "Kafkaesque" is often used to describe situations characterized by surreal complexity and absurdity. Kafka's legacy as a literary innovator and his exploration of the human psyche continue to captivate readers and scholars alike, making him a central figure in the world of modern literature.

1984
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.

Los ojos cerrados
Edurne Portela · 2021
Los ojos cerrados es una novela de un solo lugar, un pueblo que podría tener cualquier nombre y que por eso se llama Pueblo Chico. Pueblo Chico está anclado en una sierra agreste que a veces se cubre de niebla, otras de nieve, una sierra en la que a veces se pierden los animales, desaparecen las personas. En el pueblo vive Pedro, el anciano protagonista de esta novela, depositario de secretos que rodean a la violencia que ha atravesado el lugar durante décadas. Cuando Ariadna llega a Pueblo Chico por motivos al principio poco claros, Pedro la observa y vigila, mientras Ariadna va desvelando su propia vinculación con la historia silenciada del lugar. El encuentro entre pasado y presente, entre Pedro y Ariadna, da pie a una novela en la que Edurne Portela indaga sobre una violencia que si bien trastoca para siempre la vida de los personajes, genera la posibilidad de crear un espacio de convivencia y solidaridad.
