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.

Gorge Gorge Orwell • 2018
1984, is a dystopian novel published in 1949 by English author George Orwell. The novel is set in Airstrip One, formerly Great Britain, a province of the superstate Oceania, whose residents are victims of perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance and public manipulation. Oceania's political ideology, euphemistically named English Socialism (shortened to "Ingsoc" in Newspeak, the government's invented language that will replace English or Oldspeak) is enforced by the privileged, elite Inner Party. Via the "Thought Police," the Inner Party persecutes individualism and independent thinking, which are regarded as "thoughtcrimes." Eric Arthur Blair (25 June 1903 - 21 January 1950), better known by his pen name George Orwell, was an English novelist, essayist, journalist, and critic. His work is marked by lucid prose, awareness of social injustice, opposition to totalitarianism, and outspoken support of democratic socialism. Orwell wrote literary criticism, poetry, fiction, and polemical journalism. He is best known for the allegorical novella Animal Farm (1945) and the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949). His non-fiction works, including The Road to Wigan Pier (1937), documenting his experience of working class life in the north of England, and Homage to Catalonia (1938), an account of his experiences in the Spanish Civil War, are widely acclaimed, as are his essays on politics, literature, language, and culture. In 2008, The Times ranked him second on a list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945."
El gran Gatsby - The Great Gatsby
F. Scott Fitzgerald • 2022
<p>Durante décadas, y acercándose a su centenario, El gran Gatsby ha sido considerada una obra maestra de la literatura y candidata al título de Gran novela americana por su dominio al mostrar la pura identidad americana junto a un estilo distinto y maduro.</p> <p>La historia se desarrolla en la era del jazz americana en Long Island y New York y, con una narrativa que no da respiro al lector, nos presenta la vida de millonarios y socialites de la época, tentados por la posesión tanto del dinero como del amor romántico.</p> <p>La novela fue inspirada por un affaire que Scott Fitzgerald tuvo con Ginevra King en 1922 y fue escrita en la Riviera francesa en los siguientes años.</p> <p>El destino de la novela es tal vez tan trágico como la historia misma que narra, dado que el autor nunca supo del éxito posterior que le estaba destinado y murió con la convicción de haber escrito un texto fracasado; tal vez reflejando el tema mismo de la novela, donde la tragedia personal toma un valor simbólico de la imposibilidad del sueño americano.</p>
