Stephen King • 2008
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 50TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY MARGARET ATWOOD • Stephen King's legendary debut, the bestselling smash hit that put him on the map as one of America's favorite writers • In a world where bullies rule, one girl holds a secret power. Unpopular and tormented, Carrie White's life takes a terrifying turn when her hidden abilities become a weapon of horror. "Stephen King’s first novel changed the trajectory of horror fiction forever. Fifty years later, authors say it’s still challenging and guiding the genre." —Esquire “A master storyteller.” —The Los Angeles Times • “Guaranteed to chill you.” —The New York Times • "Gory and horrifying. . . . You can't put it down." —Chicago Tribune Unpopular at school and subjected to her mother's religious fanaticism at home, Carrie White does not have it easy.

La guerra del Peloponeso
Donald Kagan • 2022
Durante tres décadas, en el siglo V a. C., el mundo fue devastado por una gran guerra tan dramática, decisiva y destructiva como las guerras mundiales del siglo XX: la guerra del Peloponeso, un episodio clave para entender el desarrollo posterior del mundo occidental y una sucesión interminable de batallas que inauguraba una época de brutalidad y destrucción sin precendentes en la historia. El relato contemporáneo a los hechos de Tucídides es la fuente principal para conocer esos acontecimientos, pero no la única, y en eso destaca Donald Kagan: en la escrupulosa y brillante contextualización de fuentes y hechos históricos. A partir de su ya clásica y aún no superada Historia de la guerra del Peloponeso en cuatro volúmenes, el autor, con estilo ágil y colorista que lo caracteriza, sintetiza en este ensayo varios años de guerras entre la alianza espartana y el imperio ateniense, el ascenso y caída de un mundo que sigue sirviéndonos aún hoy de punto de referencia para entender el presente. Y gracias a esa labor de investigación, estudio y resumen, nos ofrece una de las mejores obras de ensayo histórico sobre un conflicto bélico; una espléndida crónica del auge y caída de un imperio y de unos tiempos oscuros cuyas lecciones cobran pleno sentido en nuestros días. Sin duda, una referencia para todos los estudios y amantes del mundo antiguo. Una obra maestra sobre uno de los temas principales de la historia de la Antigüedad Clásica.

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.
Ana Karenina (Spanish Edition)
León Tolstoi • 2013
Este ebook presenta "Ana Karenina", con un sumario dinámico y detallado. Ana Karénina es novela de León Tolstói, publicada en 1877. Narra la trágica pasión amorosa de Ana, casada sin amar con el ministro Alejo Karenin, pero se enamora perdidamente del joven oficial Alexis Vronski. Después de una lucha interna, abandona su casa, su esposo, su hijo, para irse a vivir con Vronski. La falsa situación social, la prohibición de ver a su hijo, las continuas reyertas entre los amantes, provocan la ruptura y la desesperación que obliga a Ana a arrojarse en la vía férrea al paso del tren. Liev Nikoláievich Tolstói, también conocido como León Tolstói ( 1828 - 1910 ), fue un novelista ruso ampliamente considerado como uno de los más grandes escritores de occidente y de la literatura mundial. Sus más famosas obras son Guerra y Paz y Anna Karénina, y son tenidas como la cúspide del realismo. Sus ideas sobre la "no violencia activa", expresadas en libros como El reino de Dios está en vosotros tuvieron un profundo impacto en grandes personajes como Gandhi y Martin Luther King.
1984
George Orwell • 1983
75th ANNIVERSARY EDITION “Orwell saw, to his credit, that the act of falsifying reality is only secondarily a way of changing perceptions. It is, above all, a way of asserting power.”—The New Yorker In 1984, London is a grim city in the totalitarian state of Oceania where Big Brother is always watching you and the Thought Police can practically read your mind. Winston Smith is a man in grave danger for the simple reason that his memory still functions. Drawn into a forbidden love affair, Winston finds the courage to join a secret revolutionary organization called The Brotherhood, dedicated to the destruction of the Party. Together with his beloved Julia, he hazards his life in a deadly match against the powers that be. Lionel Trilling said of Orwell’s masterpiece “1984 is a profound, terrifying, and wholly fascinating book. It is a fantasy of the political future, and like any such fantasy, serves its author as a magnifying device for an examination of the present.” Though the year 1984 now exists in the past, Orwell’s dystopian classic remains an urgent call for the individual willing to speak truth to power.
