customer 's reviewNathaniel Hawthorne nacio el 4 de julio de 1804 en Salem, antano gran puerto de mar, en una familia de comerciantes y capitanes entonces ya en decadencia. Fue criado por su madre viuda en una casa encantada. En todos los textos del autor cabe hallar detalles sobre la vida familiar, que su imaginacion concibio, de una manera obsesiva y, al mismo tiempo, con un caracteristico humorismo ironico. Entre sus primeros antepasados figuro el juez Hathorne, perseguidor de brujas. Otro de sus antecesores espirituales fue el teologo puritano Jonathan Edwards.

customer 's reviewDr. Frankenstein learns the secret of imparting life to inanimate matter. To test his theories, he collects bones from the charnel-houses to construct a "human" being, and then gives it life. The creature, endowed with supernatural size and strength, is revolting to look at, and frightens all who see it. Lonely and miserable, it comes to hate its creator. The monster murders Frankenstein's brother and his bride, and flees. The doctor pursues his creation in order to destroy it, but dies himself in the attempt. The story of Frankenstein was first written as a ghost story to be told as part of a contest between Mary Shelley, her husband, and Lord Byron. This tale of terror has been a world favorite since it was first published in 1818, and has been made into countless movies. Frankenstein,loved by many decades of readers and praised by such eminent literary critics as Harold Bloom, seems hardly to need a recommendation. If you haven't read it recently, though, you may not remember the sweeping force of the prose, the grotesque, surreal imagery, and the multilayereddoppelgängerthemes of Mary Shelley's masterpiece. As fantasy writer Jane Yolen writes of this (the reviewer's favorite) edition, "The strong black and whites of the main text [illustrations] are dark and brooding, with unremitting shadows and stark contrasts. But the central conversation with the monster--who owes nothing to the overused movie image… but is rather the novel's charnel-house composite--is where [Barry] Moser's illustrations show their greatest power ... The viewer can all but smell the powerful stench of the monster's breath as its words spill out across the page. Strong book-making for one of the world's strongest and most remarkable books." Includes an illuminating afterword by Joyce Carol Oates. Rerations < Frankenstein (Spanish Edition) >

customer 's reviewUna infancia atribulada, con un padrastro cruel, una madre débil, un internado siniestro. Una adolescencia de explotación y miseria en una fábrica. Por fin, la huida, a pie, de Londres a Dover, donde una tía excéntrica, que siempre quiso que el niño fuera niña, acoge y protege al huérfano desamparado. Luego la juventud: los primeros amores, los primeros trabajos, los primeros amigos. Y las decepciones: amores equivocados, amigos que se desvían, promesas que se desvanecen, y también lealtades que perduran. David Copperfield fue siempre la novela preferida de Dickens, quizá porque en ella proyectó gran parte de su propia vida. Desde su publicación por entregas entre 1849 y 1850, no ha dejado más que una estela de admiración, alegría y gratitud. Henry James recordaba que de niño se escondía debajo de una mesa para oír a su madre leer las entregas en voz alta. Dostoievski la leyó en su prisión en Siberia. Tolstói la considerabael mayor hallazgo de Dickens, y el capítulo de la tempestad, el patrón por el que debería juzgarse toda obra de ficción. Fue la novela favorita de Sigmund Freud. Kafka la imitó en Amerika, y Joyce la parodió en el Ulises. Para Cesare Pavese, en estas «páginas inolvidables cada uno de nosotros (no se me ocurre elogio mayor) vuelve a encontrar su propia experiencia secreta». Beginning in 1854 up through to his death in 1870, Charles Dickens abridged and adapted many of his more popular works and performed them as staged readings. This version, each page illustrated with lovely watercolor paintings, is a beautiful example of one of these adaptations.Because it is quite seriously abridged, the story concentrates primarily on the extended family of Mr. Peggotty: his orphaned nephew, Ham; his adopted niece, Little Emily; and Mrs. Gummidge, self-described as "a lone lorn creetur and everythink went contrairy with her." When Little Emily runs away with Copperfield's former schoolmate, leaving Mr. Peggotty completely brokenhearted, the whole family is thrown into turmoil. But Dickens weaves some comic relief throughout the story with the introduction of Mr. and Mrs. Micawber, and David's love for his pretty, silly "child-wife," Dora. Dark nights, mysterious locations, and the final destructive storm provide classic Dickensian drama. Although this is notDavid Copperfieldin its entirety, it is a great introduction to the world and the language of Charles Dickens.

customer 's reviewBella?' Edward's soft voice came from behind me. I turned to see him spring lightly up the porch steps, his hair windblown from running. He pulled me into his arms at once, and kissed me again. His kiss frightened me. There was too much tension, too strong an edge to the way his lips crushed mine - like he was afraid we had only so much time left to us. As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob - knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which? Following the international bestsellers Twilight and New Moon, Eclipse is the much-anticipated third book in Stephenie Meyer's captivating saga of vampire romance. Rerations < Eclipse >

customer 's reviewStory of a society in which all books are to be burned. InFahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury's classic, frightening vision of the future, firemen don't put out fires--they start them in order to burn books. Bradbury's vividly painted society holds up the appearance of happiness as the highest goal--a place where trivial information is good, and knowledge and ideas are bad. Fire Captain Beatty explains it this way, "Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs.... Don't give them slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy."Guy Montag is a book-burning fireman undergoing a crisis of faith. His wife spends all day with her television "family," imploring Montag to work harder so that they can afford a fourth TV wall. Their dull, empty life sharply contrasts with that of his next-door neighbor Clarisse, a young girl thrilled by the ideas in books, and more interested in what she can see in the world around her than in the mindless chatter of the tube. When Clarisse disappears mysteriously, Montag is moved to make some changes, and starts hiding books in his home. Eventually, his wife turns him in, and he must answer the call to burn his secret cache of books. After fleeing to avoid arrest, Montag winds up joining an outlaw band of scholars who keep the contents of books in their heads, waiting for the time society will once again need the wisdom of literature. Bradbury--the author of more than 500 short stories, novels, plays, and poems, includingThe Martian ChroniclesandThe Illustrated Man--is the winner of many awards, including the Grand Master Award from the Science Fiction Writers of America. Readers ages 13 to 93 will be swept up in the harrowing suspense ofFahrenheit 451, and no doubt will join the hordes of Bradbury fans worldwide.--Neil Roseman Rerations < Fahrenheit 451 / Ray Bradbury's Farenheit 451 (Spanish Edition) >
