In this largely autobiographical coming-of-age story, James Joyce describes the awakening young mind of a middle-class Irish Catholic boy named Stephen Dedalus. The story follows Stephen’s development from his early troubled boyhood through an adolescent crisis of faith—partially inspired by the famous “hellfire sermon” preached by Father Arnall, and partly by the guilt of his own precocious sexual adventures—to his discovery of his ultimate destiny as a poet.

Master storyteller Eduardo Galeano was unique among his contemporaries (Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Mario Vargas Llosa among them) for his commitment to retelling our many histories, including the stories of those who were disenfranchised. A philosopher poet, his nonfiction is infused with such passion and imagination that it matches the intensity and the appeal of Latin America's very best fiction. This is a deeply considered collection of Galeano's final musings and stories on history, memory, humor, and tragedy.

Poemas escritos entre 1983 y 1986. El poeta mira, imagina, evoca la profecía apocalíptica cumplida durante los dos grandes terremotos de 1985. La desastrosa mañana de aquel septiembre de 1985 "la tierra que destruimos se hizo presente". Un fatídico terremoto demostró "hasta qué punto nos aborrece la tierra: / nos ve como insectos / torturadores que la roen por dentro". Su devastadora venganza puso en evidencia que "es el nombre profundo de la muerte". Los sobrevivientes "¿vamos a hacer / otra ciudad, otro país, otra vida? / De otra manera seguirá el derrumbe".

Poemas escritos entre 1979 y 1983, se trata de la bitácora de un sobreviviente de la tempestad que fue el siglo XX. "Todo es efímero y jamás se repite", afirma José Emilio Pacheco para recordarnos la brevedad de nuestro tránsito por la tierra. Asumimos que "el mar se habrá cambiado en desierto / cuando ya no [estemos] aquí para mirarlo y amarlo", pero olvidamos que esa condición fugaz es la que le da un matiz extraordinario a la existencia: "todo es valioso porque todo es irrepetible". Los trabajos del mar reúne poemas escritos entre 1979 y 1983.

En un mundo en el que una empresa de teléfonos celulares ejerce una tiranía difusa, en el que en casi todas las casas hay celdas y casi todos los vecinos son carceleros, en el que el principal entretenimiento son las luchas entre presos y animales, en el que pasan muchas cosas en los sótanos, en el que las mujeres están, o son, peladas, cuatro historias: una carcelera, que se ha enamorado de su preso, tiene que ingeniárselas para salvarlo de la puntería de su esposa; un luchador invicto se enfrenta a una prueba que nadie ha superado todavía; un científico que se dedica a reducir cabezas trata

Most known for his creative fictions that tackle literary questions of authorship as well as more philosophical notions such as multiverse theory, Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges has captivated scholars from a variety of disciplines since his emergence on the international scene. However, much of the scholarship surrounding Borges does not focus on the reception of Borges's works in the fields of philosophy, the visual arts, film, political science, media theory, mathematics, and law, nor does it consider how his affiliations and interests changed over the course of his long life.

Dieses nach Nietzsche "tiefste Buch, das die Menschheit besitzt", nimmt vom ersten Moment an gefangen durch seine hymnische Sprache. Die Gedanken, eigentlich "Übergedanken", tanzen sich mit ihrem Rhythmus und ihrer Musikalität unmerklich in das Bewusstsein des Hörers hinein. Und was für Gedanken! – Gott ist tot – und damit die Idee von den Menschen, die alle gleich sind.

Der neue Mensch ist ein sich selbst Liebender und ein vom Willen zur Macht über sich selbst Beseelter.
