Lost in the blacked-out streets of Paris during the First World War, Marcel stumbles into a brothel and accidentally witnesses a shocking scene involving the Baron de Charlus. Later, at a reception given by the Prince de Guermates, his meditations on the passage of time lead to his determination to embark on his life's work at last.

Remembrance of Things Past is one of the monuments of 20th-century literature. Neville Jason’s unabridged recording of the work runs to 150 hours. Marcel's obsessive feelings of possession for Albertine have forced her to flee. It comes as a terrible shock and is followed by further destabilizing news about other friends.

La vuelta de Martín Fierro es un audio libro gauchesco argentino, escrito en verso por José Hernández en 1879. Constituye la secuela de El Gaucho Martín Fierro, escrito en 1872. Ambos libros han sido considerados como libro nacional de la Argentina, bajo el título genérico de "Martín Fierro." En "La vuelta", Martín Fierro, quien se había mostrado rebelde en la primera parte y convertido en gaucho matrero (fuera de la ley), aparece más reflexivo y moderado, a la vez que el audio libro se vuelca a la historia de sus hijos.

It will come as a surprise to some readers that the greater part of Jorge Luis Borges's extraordinary writing was not in the genres of fiction or poetry, but in the various forms of non-fiction prose. His thousands of pages of essays, reviews, prologues, lectures, and notes on politics and...

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.

Mention the name Niccolò Machiavelli and you might unleash a powerful response-even among people who have never read a word of his writing. The word "Machiavellian" conjures up images of an indistinct figure quietly making his way through the darkest corridors of power; a cold-blooded political liar; or a coolly practical leader - amoral at best - willing to do whatever is necessary in a world governed not by ideas of right or wrong, but by solutions dictated by realpolitik.

Throughout his life, Gabriel García Márquez spoke publicly with the same passion and energy that marked his writing. Now the wisdom and compassion of these performances are available in English for the first time. I’m Not Here to Give a Speech records key events throughout the author’s life, from a farewell to his classmates delivered when he was only 17 to his Nobel Prize acceptance speech.

Pablo Neruda fue, en las palabras de Gabriel García Márquez, el "más grande poeta del siglo XX en cualquier idioma." Para Harold Bloom "no admite comparación con ningún otro poeta del hemisferio occidental." Para la mayoría de lectores, que lo han venido leyendo con devoción desde hace casi un siglo, Pablo Neruda es el gran poeta del amor. Esta compilación reúne algunos de sus poemas de amor más sensuales y desesperados.

Featuring both Ak’abal’s Spanish translations from the indigenous K’iche’ and English translations by acclaimed poet Michael Bazzett, this collection blossoms from the landscape of Momostenango—mountains covered in cloud forest, deep ravines, terraced fields of maize. Ak’abal’s unpretentious verse models a contraconquista—counter-conquest—perspective, one that resists the impulse to impose meaning on the world and encourages us to receive it instead.

Eliza vive tra due mondi: le viene impartita un'educazione rigidamente anglosassone, nella speranza di un futuro sereno coronato da un buon matrimonio, e al contempo le vengono fatte conoscere dalla cuoca di casa, Mama Freisa, la vitalità, la magia e la carnalità del suo popolo. Si innamora perdutamente di un giovane idealista che lavora per Jeremy, Joaquín Andieta, il quale però nel 1849, alla notizia che in California sono stati scoperti favolosi giacimenti d'oro, decide di salpare in cerca di fortuna.

"Wer sich selbst und andere kennt, wird auch hier erkennen: Orient und Okzident sind nicht mehr zu trennen." Dieser eine Vers in Goethes Gedichtband drückt aus, was der Autor in seiner Gedichtsammlung versucht: eine Hochzeit zwischen der Kultur des Abend- und des Morgenlandes. Inspiriert von der Lektüre von Hafis’ "Diwan" ist Goethes Werk nicht nur eine lyrische Entfaltung tiefer Gefühle und Gedanken, sondern auch eine Hommage an den persischen Seelenverwandten.

Remembrance of Things Past is one of the monuments of 20th century literature. Within a Budding Grove is the second of seven volumes. The young narrator, experiencing his youthful sexuality, falls under the spell of a group of adolescent girls, succumbs to the charms of the enchanting Gilberte, and visits a brothel where he meets Rachel. His impressions of life are also stimulated by the painter, Elstir, and his encounter with another girl, Albertine.

Lo Propio. Difficile est proprie comunia dicereHoracioPodría decirse que el poeta tiene únicamente dos temas: el amor y la muerte. Pues nacer es anticipar el morir, la traición no es otra cosa que el asesinato de la amistad, la vida no es sino el espacio donde acontecen la muerte y el amor. Al menos en Occidente, son los poetas quienes han dialogado con la muerte: la propia y la de todos; la individual, la colectiva y la cósmica.

Les bouleversements de la première moitié du vingtième siècle - révolutions et guerres meurtrières, génocides, cracks économiques sans précédents - ont profondément transformé les bases même de la pensée européenne. Jusque là conquérante, positive, défrichant sans relâche ni lassitude les territoires de la pensée ou les derniers mystères du monde, elle se met à douter d'elle même et plus encore du sens même de l'existence.

Un cirujano hace una misteriosa visita a domicilio, la enfermera que lo espera dibuja un signo ambiguo en la ventana; el hombre fotografía un suplicio chino, la mujer camina junto al mar… Éstas y otras imágenes conforman el montaje literario de un instante capaz de contener dualidades, memorias propias y ajenas, meditaciones tenaces, sentimientos profundos e imágenes persistentes que también son, tal vez, recuerdos inventados.

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.

Venti racconti, il Brasile, luoghi, città, paesaggi e persone di una sola voce narrante. I racconti costituiscono un reportage di viaggio, che descrive il Paese nel suo insieme e poi si concentra sul dettaglio, inquadrandolo in modo poetico e simbolico. Storie di città, ma anche storie di uomini, come quelli, antichissimi, che incisero e dipinsero le rocce della Serra da Capivara, o come quelli, moderni, che si raccontano nelle meravigliose scoperte di Sao Raimundo.

Chi non si è mai trovato bloccato in un ingorgo? Chi non ha cercato di far passare il tempo osservando le macchine della fila accanto? E cosa succede se l'imbottigliamento dura giorni, settimane, mesi? Ecco ciò che avviene in Autostrada del Sud , il primo racconto di questa raccolta di Julio Cortázar, l'autore che ha aperto nuove vie nel genere in cui è un riconosciuto maestro, sgranando le sue amatissime ossessioni: il tema del doppio, la discontinuità fra spazio e tempo, l'irrazionale come alternativa al quotidiano.

La poesía de Cristina Rivera Garza reunida por primera vez en un sólo volumen.

Il verso libero è come una porta che si apre verso l'infinito. Lo paragono a quel vagabondo che si sposta da un luogo all'altro, cammina per le montagne e, immerso nella loro vegetazione, si profuma di clorofilla e calpesta a piedi nudi le foglie cadute, per non ferirle, inumidito di rugiada, estasiato mentre guarda la cascata del fiume. Il vagabondo continua la sua marcia fino a raggiungere la riva di una spiaggia vicina, dove contempla il mare, le cui onde vanno e vengono come lui, senza mai fermarsi. Quel vagabondo non pensa all'effimero della vita.
