Lolita
Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov • 1989
Awe and exhiliration--along with heartbreak and mordant wit--abound in <b>Lolita</b>, Nabokov's most famous and controversial novel, which tells the story of the aging Humbert Humbert's obsessive, devouring, and doomed passion for the nymphet Dolores Haze. <b>Lolita</b> is also the story of a hypercivilized European colliding with the cheerful barbarism of postwar America. Most of all, it is a meditation on love--love as outrage and hallucination, madness and transformation.

1984
George Orwell • 1950
<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.

<b><b>Nominada por los estadounidenses como una de las 100 mejores novelas en la serie de PBS <i>The Great American Read</i></b><br><br>Penguin Clásicos publica en una cuidada edición esta obra maestra de la literatura inglesa de todos los tiempos, para conmemorar el bicentenario de la publicación original de la novela en 1813.</b><br><br>A lo largo de una trama que discurre con la precisión de un mecanismo de relojería, Jane Austen perfila una galería de personajes que conforman un perfecto y sutil retrato de la época: las peripecias de una dama empeñada en casar a sus hijas con el mejor partido de la región, los vaivenes sentimentales de las hermanas, el oportunismo de un clérigo adulador... El trazado de los caracteres y el análisis de las relaciones humanas sometidas a un rígido código de costumbres, elementos esenciales de la narrativa de la autora, alcanzan en Orgullo y prejuicio cotas de maestría insuperable.«Pero mi locura no ha sido el amor sino la vanidad.»<br><br><b>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION<br><br>Penguin Classics has published this all-time masterpiece of British literature in a special edition to commemorate the bicentennial of the original novel’s publication in 1813<br>.</b> Throughout a plot that flows with the precision of clockwork, Jane Austen profiles a gallery of characters who make up a perfect yet subtle portrait of the time: the drama of a lady determined to marry off her daughters to the biggest catches in the area, the ups and downs of the sisters, the opportunism of a sweet-talking minister… the outline of the characters and analysis of the human relationships subjected to a rigid code of customs, essential elements of the author’s narrative, reach insurmountable heights of mastery in Pride and Prejudice. <b>"But vanity, not love, has been my folly."</b>
