Tragedia
Hamlet
William Shakespeare • 2012
Hamlet is Shakespeare's most popular, and most puzzling, play. It follows the form of a "revenge tragedy," in which the hero, Hamlet, seeks vengeance against his father's murderer, his uncle Claudius, now the king of Denmark. Much of its fascination, however, lies in its uncertainties.<br/><br/>Among them: What is the Ghost--Hamlet's father demanding justice, a tempting demon, an angelic messenger? Does Hamlet go mad, or merely pretend to? Once he is sure that Claudius is a murderer, why does he not act? Was his mother, Gertrude, unfaithful to her husband or complicit in his murder?<br/><br/>The authoritative edition of Hamlet from The Folger Shakespeare Library, the trusted and widely used Shakespeare series for students and general readers, includes:<br/><br/>-Freshly edited text based on the best early printed version of the play<br/>-Newly revised explanatory notes conveniently placed on pages facing the text of the play<br/>-Scene-by-scene plot summaries<br/>-A key to the play's famous lines and phrases<br/>-An introduction to reading Shakespeare's language<br/>-An essay by a leading Shakespeare scholar providing a modern perspective on the play<br/>-Fresh images from the Folger Shakespeare Library's vast holdings of rare books<br/>-An up-to-date annotated guide to further reading<br/><br/>Essay by Michael Neill

El Libro de la Selva
Kipling Rudyard • 2005
El Libro de la Selva, excelente obra para jóvenes, es también mucho más que eso. El lector avispado encontrará en ella tantos matices como sombras dibuja la luz en el suelo de la jungla. Sin embargo, una referencia resulta inevitable: la de considerar prioritaria la intención del autor de invitarnos a reflexionar sobre la dualidad selva-aldea, es decir, naturaleza-sociedad humana, encarnada por Mowgli, el muchacho que busca angustiosamente su identidad entre estos dos mundos diferentes, pero a los que sólo una actitud de suicida ignorancia puede convertir en totalmente antagónicos.
