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!
Pride and Prejudice (Penguin Classics)
Jane Austen • 2002
Austen's most popular novel, the unforgettable story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy<br/><br/>Few have failed to be charmed by the witty and independent spirit of Elizabeth Bennet in Austen’s beloved classic Pride and Prejudice. When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows us the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-class life. This Penguin Classics edition, based on Austen's first edition, contains the original Penguin Classics introduction by Tony Tanner and an updated introduction and notes by Viven Jones.<br/><br/>For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Guerra y paz
Liev N. Tolstói · 2018
Guerra y paz se publicó entre los años 1865 y 1869. A lo largo de sus centenares de páginas, Tolstói nos cuenta el relato épico de cinco familias rusas durante la invasión napoleónica. Obra monumental, que incluye a más de quinientos personajes históricos y de ficción, Guerra y paz alterna en su magnífica trama historias familiares con las vicisitudes del ejército napoleónico, la vida en la corte de Alejandro y las batallas de Austerlitz y Borodinó. Como ya advirtió Isaiah Berlin, «nadie ha superado nunca a Tolstói en la expresión del sabor específico, la calidad precisa de un sentimiento, la amplitud de su "oscilación". Nadie ha superado su manera de describir la estructura de una situación determinada en todo un período, pasajes ininterrumpidos de la vida de individuos, familias, comunidades, naciones enteras». Guerra y paz, un clásico de la literatura universal, se ha traducido varias veces al español pero la edición que presentamos aquí está basada en la única versión completa y autorizada por Tolstói, en una traducción magistral y totalmente fiable al español por Lydia Kúper.

Ian McEwan · 2003
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A symphonic novel of love and war, childhood and class, guilt and forgiveness that provides all the satisfaction of a brilliant narrative and the provocation we have come to expect from the acclaimed Booker Prize–winning, internationally bestselling author. One of the New York Times’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century • A Kirkus Reviews Best Fiction Book of the Century “A beautiful and majestic fictional panorama.” —John Updike, The New Yorker On a hot summer day in 1935, thirteen-year-old Briony Tallis witnesses a moment’s flirtation between her older sister, Cecilia, and Robbie Turner, the son of a servant and Cecilia’s childhood friend. But Briony’s incomplete grasp of adult motives—together with her precocious literary gifts—brings about a crime that will change all their lives. As it follows that crime’s repercussions through the chaos and carnage of World War II and into the close of the twentieth century, Atonement engages the reader on every conceivable level, with an ease and authority that mark it as a genuine masterpiece.

El gran Gatsby y El curioso caso de Benjamin Button
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald · 2022
El gran Gatsby y El extraño caso de Benjamin Button son dos de los textos más reconocidos de Francis Scott Fitzgerald, considerado un clásico de la literatura norteamericana, cuya obra exquisita mantiene toda su actualidad y frescor. Gatsby, el caballero que reina sobre West Egg, el anfitrión de las noches sin tregua, pero también el triunfador marcado por el trágico sino de una soledad no pretendida, es el arquetipo de esos años veinte que se iniciaron con la Prohibición y discurrieron en el gansterismo y la corrupción política organizada. Protagonista de una década que culminaría con la catástrofe de 1929, su imagen de esplendor no hace sino anunciar un drama inevitable. El curioso caso de Benjamin Button es un relato de gran originalidad, inspirado en Mark Twain, quien comentó que era una pena que la mejor parte de la vida se diera al principio y la peor parte al final. Scott Fitzgerald decidió experimentar el proceso inverso en este relato: Benjamin Button nace con setenta años y misteriosamente cumple cada vez menos, rejuveneciendo paulatinamente. Tanto El gran Gatsby como El extraño caso de Benjamin Button han sido llevados al cine, con gran éxito y popularidad.

Sueño De Una Noche De Verano
William Shakespeare · 2011
Sueño de una noche de verano' fue escrita como divertimento en las nupcias de nobles de la Corte de Isabel I. Shakespeare utilizó una cantidad de fuentes, magistralmente manipuladas desde las Metamorfosis de Ovidio a los Cuentos de Chaucer. El dramaturgo funde esas influencias en un texto donde se presenta el amor en el matrimonio como fuente de conflictos para alcanzar el poder político.

El viejo y el mar
Ernest Hemingway · 2018
Una de las historias más grandes jamás contadas.<br/><br/>En esta nueva y magistral traducción de Miguel Temprano García, El viejo y el mar recobra todo el esplendor del clásico imperecedero que le valió el Premio Pulitzer de 1953 a Ernest Hemingway.<br/>Con un lenguaje de gran fuerza y sencillez, El viejo y el mar narra la historia de un viejo pescador cubano a quien la suerte parece haber abandonado, y del desafío mayúsculo al que se enfrenta: la batalla despiadada y sin tregua con un pez gigantesco en las aguas del golfo.<br/>Escrito en 1952, por encargo de la revista Life, este relato lo confirmó como uno de los escritores más significativos del siglo XX, obteniendo el Premio Pulitzer en 1953 y allanando su carrera hacia el Nobel de Literatura, que recibió en 1954.<br/>Reseñas:<br/>«Su mejor obra. El tiempo demostrará que es la mejor que cualquiera de nosotros haya escrito, y con eso me refiero a sus coetáneos y a los míos.»<br/>William Faulkner<br/>«El escritor estadounidense más célebre desde Mark Twain: con él la literatura yanqui entró en una nueva dimensión.»<br/>Jaime G. Mora, ABC<br/>«Su paleta era increíblemente amplia, y exquisita y violenta y brutal y fea, era todas esas cosas. Con todos sus defectos, con todas las dificultades, su vida personal o lo que sea, parecía entender al ser humano.»<br/>Michael Katakis<br/>«Cuando se logra desmontar una de Faulkner uno tiene la impresión de que le sobran resortes y tornillos y que será imposible devolverla otra vez a su estado original. Hemingway, en cambio, con menos inspiración, con menos pasión y menos locura, pero con un rigor lúcido, dejaba sus tornillos a la vista por el lado de fuera, como en los vagones de ferrocarril. Tal vez por eso Faulkner es un escritor que tuvo mucho que ver con mi alma, pero Hemingway es el que más ha tenido que ver con mi oficio.»<br/>Gabriel García Márquez<br/>«Hemingway dejaba una intensa vida de aventuras, emociones y sentimientos que supo llevar a sus relatos magistrales. [...] Literatura sencilla, cruda, hermosa y perfecta. Escribía como vivía y ello le permitió crear su propio estilo, único, inconfundible y genial. El estilo Hemingway.»<br/>Javier García Recio, La Opinión de Málaga<br/>«Pocos como Hemingway cumplen el proverbio "el escritor muere, pero su obra permanece".»<br/>Vanessa Jaklitsch, La Razón<br/>«Mira el mundo sin prejuicios ni preconceptos y graba con precisión y economía, y con una inmediatez casi aterradora, exactamente lo que ve.»<br/>Javier García Recio, La Opinión<br/>«Su pasión por narrar lo lleva a la selección de la realidad, a las omisiones, al lenguaje minimalista, a esa voluntad de relatar lo real que se convierte en su poética personal y su lirismo.»<br/>Ricardo Lladosa, Zenda Libros
Cien años de soledad / One Hundred Years of Solitude (Spanish Edition)
Gabriel García Márquez · 2009
“Muchos años después, frente al pelotón de fusilamiento, el coronel Aureliano Buendía había de recordar aquella tarde remota en que su padre lo llevó a conocer el hielo”.<br/><br/>Con estas palabras empieza una novela ya legendaria en los anales de la literatura universal, una de las aventuras literarias más fascinantes del siglo xx. Millones de ejemplares de Cien años de soledad leídos en todas las lenguas y el Premio Nobel de Literatura coronando una obra que se había abierto paso a “boca a boca” —como gusta decir el escritor— son la más palpable demostración de que la aventura fabulosa de la familia Buendía-Iguarán, con sus milagros, fantasías, obsesiones, tragedias, incestos, adulterios, rebeldías, descubrimientos y condenas, representaba al mismo tiempo el mito y la historia, la tragedia y el amor del mundo entero.<br/><br/>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION<br/><br/>"One Hundred Years of Solitude is the first piece of literature since the Book of Genesis that should be required reading for the entire human race. . . . Mr. Garcia Marquez has done nothing less than to create in the reader a sense of all that is profound, meaningful, and meaningless in life." —William Kennedy, New York Times Book Review<br/><br/>One of the most influential literary works of our time, One Hundred Years of Solitude remains a dazzling and original achievement by the masterful Gabriel Garcia Marquez, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature.<br/><br/>One Hundred Years of Solitude tells the story of the rise and fall, birth and death of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendiá family. Inventive, amusing, magnetic, sad and alive with unforgettable men and women—brimming with truth, compassion, and a lyrical magic that strikes the soul—this novel is a masterpiece in the art of fiction.

Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Novels and Stories, Vol. 1
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle · 1986
Since his first appearance in Beeton’s Christmas Annual in 1887, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes has been one of the most beloved fictional characters ever created. Now, in two paperback volumes, Bantam presents all fifty-six short stories and four novels featuring Conan Doyle’s classic hero--a truly complete collection of Sherlock Holmes’s adventures in crime!<br/><br/>Volume I includes the early novel A Study in Scarlet, which introduced the eccentric genius of Sherlock Holmes to the world. This baffling murder mystery, with the cryptic word Rache written in blood, first brought Holmes together with Dr. John Watson. Next, The Sign of Four presents Holmes’s famous “seven percent solution” and the strange puzzle of Mary Morstan in the quintessential locked-room mystery.<br/><br/>Also included are Holmes’s feats of extraordinary detection in such famous cases as the chilling “ The Adventure of the Speckled Band,” the baffling riddle of “The Musgrave Ritual,” and the ingeniously plotted “The Five Orange Pips,” tales that bring to life a Victorian England of horse-drawn cabs, fogs, and the famous lodgings at 221B Baker Street, where Sherlock Holmes earned his undisputed reputation as the greatest fictional detective of all time.

El joven Rodión Raskólnikov, antiguo estudiante, arrastra una existencia precaria en San Petersburgo. 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)
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.

Jane Eyre (Dover Thrift Editions: Classic Novels)
Charlotte Brontë · 2003
Charlotte Brontë characterized the eponymous heroine of her 1847 novel as being "as poor and plain as myself." Presenting a heroine with neither great beauty nor entrancing charm was an unprecendented maneuver, but Brontë's instincts proved correct, for readers of her era and ever after have taken Jane Eyre into their hearts. The author drew upon her own experience to depict Jane's struggles at Lowood, an oppressive boarding school, and her troubled career as a governess. Unlike Jane, Brontë had the advantage of a warm family circle that shared and encouraged her literary pursuits. She found immediate success with this saga of an orphan girl forced to make her way alone in the world, from Lowood School to Thornfield, the estate of the majestically moody Mr. Rochester, and beyond. A selection of the Common Core State Standards Initiative.

Oliver Twist (Penguin Classics)
Charles Dickens · 2003
A gripping portrayal of London's dark criminal underbelly, published in Penguin Classics with an introduction by Philip Horne.<br/>The story of Oliver Twist - orphaned, and set upon by evil and adversity from his first breath - shocked readers when it was published. After running away from the workhouse and pompous beadle Mr Bumble, Oliver finds himself lured into a den of thieves peopled by vivid and memorable characters - the Artful Dodger, vicious burglar Bill Sikes, his dog Bull's Eye, and prostitute Nancy, all watched over by cunning master-thief Fagin. Combining elements of Gothic Romance, the Newgate Novel and popular melodrama, Dickens created an entirely new kind of fiction, scathing in its indictment of a cruel society, and pervaded by an unforgettable sense of threat and mystery.<br/>This Penguin Classics edition of Oliver Twist is the first critical edition to faithfully reproduce the text as its earliest readers would have encountered it from its serialisation in Bentley's Miscellany, and includes an introduction by Philip Horne, a glossary of Victorian thieves' slang, a chronology of Dickens's life, a map of contemporary London and all of George Cruikshank's original illustrations.<br/>For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Madame Bobary-clasicos Literarios
Gustave Flaubert · 2022
Madame Bovary is the debut novel of French writer Gustave Flaubert, published in 1856. The character lives beyond her means in order to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life. When the novel was first serialized in La Revue de Paris between 1 October 1856 and 15 December 1856, public prosecutors attacked the novel for obscenity. The resulting trial in January 1857 made the story notorious. After Flaubert's acquittal on 7 February 1857, Madame Bovary became a bestseller in April 1857 when it was published in two volumes. A seminal work of literary realism, the novel is now considered Flaubert's masterpiece, and one of the most influential literary works in history.

Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women
Susan Faludi • 2006
<b>A new edition of the feminist classic, with an all-new introduction exploring the role of backlash in the 2016 election and laying out a path forward for 2020 and beyond<br></b><br><b>Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award • “Enraging, enlightening, and invigorating, <i>Backlash</i> is, most of all, true.”—<i>Newsday</i></b><br><br>First published in 1991, <i>Backlash</i> made headlines and became a bestselling classic for its thoroughgoing debunking of a decadelong antifeminist backlash against women’s advances. A Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist, Susan Faludi brilliantly deconstructed the reigning myths about the “costs” of women’s independence—from the supposed “man shortage” to the “infertility epidemic” to “career burnout” to “toxic day care”—and traced their circulation from Reagan-era politics through the echo chambers of mass media, advertising, and popular culture. <br> <br>As Faludi writes in a new preface for this edition, much has changed in the intervening years: The Internet has given voice to a new generation of feminists. Corporations list “gender equality” among their core values. In 2019, a record number of women entered Congress. Yet the glass ceiling is still unshattered, women are still punished for wanting to succeed, and reproductive rights are hanging by a thread. This startling and essential book helps explain why women’s freedoms are still so demonized and threatened—and urges us to choose a different future.

A New York Times Notable Book<br/>"Grealy has turned her misfortune into a book that is engaging and engrossing, a story of grace as well as cruelty, and a demonstration of her own wit and style and class."—Washington Post Book World<br/>“It is impossible to read Autobiography of a Face without having your consciousness raised forever.” – Mirabella<br/>In this celebrated memoir and exploration of identity, cancer transforms the author’s face, childhood, and the rest of her life.<br/>At age nine, Lucy Grealy was diagnosed with a potentially terminal cancer. When she returned to school with a third of her jaw removed, she faced the cruel taunts of classmates. It took her twenty years of living with a distorted self-image and more than thirty years of reconstructive procedures before she could come to terms with her appearance. In this lyrical and strikingly candid memoir, Grealy tells her story of great suffering and remarkable strength without sentimentality and with considerable wit. She captures what it is like as a child and a young adult to be torn between two warring impulses: to feel that more than anything else we want to be loved for who we are, while wishing desperately and secretly to be perfect.

An American Tragedy (Vintage Classics)
Theodore Dreiser • 2021
This landmark 1925 novel—the basis for the acclaimed 1951 film A Place in the Sun—is both a riveting crime story and a devastating commentary on the American dream.<br/><br/>One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years<br/><br/>Theodore Dreiser was inspired by a true story to write this novel about an ambitious, socially insecure young man who finds himself caught between two very different women—and two very different visions of what his life could be. Clyde Griffiths was born poor and is poorly educated, but his prospects begin to improve when he is offered a job by a wealthy uncle who owns a shirt factory. Soon he achieves a managerial position, and despite being warned to stay away from the women he manages, he becomes involved with Roberta, a poor factory worker who falls in love with him. At the same time, he catches the eye of Sondra, the glamorous socialite daughter of another factory owner, and begins neglecting his lover to court her. When Roberta confronts Clyde with her pregnancy, Clyde's hopes of marrying Sondra are threatened, and he conceives a desperate plan to preserve his dream.

Bel Canto
Ann Patchett • 2023
Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award • Winner of the Orange Prize • National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist<br/>"Bel Canto is its own universe. A marvel of a book." —Washington Post Book World<br/>Ann Patchett’s spellbinding novel about love and opera, and the unifying ways people learn to communicate across cultural barriers in times of crisis.<br/>Somewhere in South America, at the home of the country's vice president, a lavish birthday party is being held in honor of the powerful businessman Mr. Hosokawa. Roxanne Coss, opera's most revered soprano, has mesmerized the international guests with her singing. It is a perfect evening—until a band of gun-wielding terrorists takes the entire party hostage.

The Archidamian War
Donald Kagan • 2013
<p>"<b>The Archidamian War</b> remains sober, judicious, and comprehensive. There is nothing else like it available in English―certainly nothing that takes all the modern scholarship into account.... But perhaps the most valuable achievement of the book is its carefully reasoned demolition of Thucydides's view―warmly embraced by too many scholars―that Pericles's war strategy was justifiable."<br />— Peter Green ― <i>Times Literary Supplement</i></p><p>This book, the second volume in Donald Kagan's tetralogy about the Peloponnesian War, is a provocative and tightly argued history of the first ten years of the war. Taking a chronological approach that allows him to present at each stage the choices that were open to both sides in the conflict, Kagan focuses on political, economic, diplomatic, and military developments. He evaluates the strategies used by both sides and reconsiders the roles played by several key individuals.</p>

Frankenstein (Dover Thrift Editions: Classic Novels)
Mary Shelley · 1994
'I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life and stir with an uneasy, half-vital motion.' A summer evening's ghost stories, lonely insomnia in a moonlit Alpine's room, and a runaway imagination -- fired by philosophical discussions with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley about science, galvanism, and the origins of life -- conspired to produce for Mary Shelley this haunting night specter. By morning, it had become the germ of her Romantic masterpiece, "Frankenstein." Written in 1816 when she was only 19, Mary Shelley's novel of 'The Modern Prometheus' chillingly dramatized the dangerous potential of life begotten upon a laboratory table. A frightening creation myth for our own time, "Frankenstein" remains one of the greatest horror stories ever written and is an undisputed classic of its kind.

Fahrenheit 451
Ray Bradbury · 2013
"Sixty years after the original publication, Ray Bradbury's internationally acclaimed novel 'Fahrenheit 451' stands as a classic of world literature set in a bleak, dystopian future. Today its message has grown more relevant than ever before. Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family." But when he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn't live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known. This sixtieth-anniversary edition commemorates Ray Bradbury's masterpiece with a new introduction by Neil Gaiman ; personal essays on the genesis of the novel by the author ; a wealth of critical essays and reviews by Nelson Algren, Harold Bloom, Margaret Atwood, and others ; rare manuscript pages and sketches from Ray Bradbury's personal archive ; and much more. Here, at last, is the definitive edition of a classic of world literature."--taken from back cover.
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.

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.

George Orwell · 1961

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.
