Charged with sensuality and passion, Pablo Neruda's love poems are the most celebrated of the Nobel Prize winner's oeuvre, captivating listeners with earthbound images and reveling in a fiery reimagining of the world. Mostly written on the island paradise of Capri (the idyllic setting of the Oscar-winning movie Il Postino), Love Poems embraces the seascapes surrounding the poet and his love, Matilde Urrutia, their waves and shores saturated with a new, yearning eroticism.

Publicados entre 1992 y 1998, los poemas de La arena errante de José Emilio Pacheco reflejan la inquietud existencial y el asombro de estar vivos. La arena es tiempo que transcurre en un reloj. La arena es playa en la que se estrella el mar interminablemente. La arena errante es la que viaja en...

The Sorrows of Young Werther was Goethe's first major success, turning him from an unknown into a celebrated author practically overnight. Napoleon Bonaparte considered it one of the great works of European literature. He thought so highly of it that he wrote a soliloquy in Goethe's style in his youth and carried Werther with him on his campaigning to Egypt.

The crônica, a literary genre peculiar to Brazilian newspapers, allows writers, or even soccer stars, to address a wide readership on any theme they like. Chatty, mystical, intimate, flirtatious, and revelatory, Clarice Lispector’s pieces for the Saturday edition of Rio’s leading paper, the Jornal do Brasil, from 1967 to 1973, take the forms of memories, essays, aphorisms, and serialized stories. Endlessly delightful, her insights make one sit up and think, whether about children or social ills or pets or society women or the business of writing or love.

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 Mensch, wie er heute ist, muss überwunden werden durch den "Übermenschen", der ein Schaffender und ein Wollender ist. Der neue Mensch ist ein sich selbst Liebender und ein vom Willen zur Macht über sich selbst Beseelter.

Prince Lyov Nikolayevitch Myshkin is one of the great characters in Russian literature. Is he a saint or just naïve? Is he an idealist or, as many in General Epanchin's society feel, an "idiot"? Certainly his return to St. Petersburg after years in a Swiss clinic has a dramatic effect on the beautiful Aglaia, youngest of the Epanchin daughters, and on the charismatic but willful Nastasya Filippovna. As he paints a vivid picture of Russian society, Dostoyevsky shows how principles conflict with emotions - with tragic results.

Sayon Hughes, a young Black man from Bristol, dreams of a world far removed from the one in which he was raised.
