El libro que faltaba de Almudena Grandes. Las historias y las escenas cotidianas que resumen el mundo de una escritora irrepetible. Escalera interior es el murmullo de los patios de luces que recogen olores de guisos, ruidos de cacharros y cucharones, risas, confidencias susurradas a media voz, buenos días y buenas noches que se intercambian en el rellano; es el murmullo que recoge nuestra rutina, la de la gente de a pie, en esas realidades pequeñas que son las que esconden las grandes historias.

A psychological murder mystery covered and resolved in one evening.

The play is significant for the way it deals with the fate of a married woman, who at the time in Norway lacked reasonable opportunities for self-fulfillment in a male-dominated world, despite the fact that Ibsen denied it was his intent to write a feminist play. It aroused a great sensation at the time and caused a "storm of outraged controversy" that went beyond the theatre to the world of newspapers and society.

Dantons Tod spielt zur Zeit der Französischen Revolution – in einer Phase, in der die Schreckensherrschaft unter Robespierre eskaliert. Georg Büchners Drama zeigt das innere Ringen des Revolutionsführers Danton, der von Zweifeln, Schuldgefühlen und Müdigkeit gegenüber der Gewalt zerrissen ist. Die Revolution frisst ihre Kinder – und Danton wird selbst zum Opfer eines Systems, das er einst mitgeschaffen hat.

Alexander Pope was the most influential and most admired writer of his time, famous for satirical and reflective poems such as The Rape of the Lock and the Essay on Man. His lyrical poems are tantalizingly few in number but predictably high in quality, with all the beauty of sound and incisiveness of sense familiar from his other works.

Here are eight fundamental works by one of the few greatest English poets: three lyric pieces, Songs of Innocence, The Book of Thel, Songs of Experience; the prose satire An Island in the Moon, the mystical prose poem The Marriage of Heaven & Hell, and three visionary poems: The French Revolution, Visions of the Daughters of Albion, America, a Prophecy. William Blake (1757-1827) is one of the great relevant figures of his time, who like Beethoven in music bridges the classical and romantic, remaining himself uncategorizable.

The Iliad is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is one of the oldest extant works of literature still widely read by modern audiences.

Alexander Pope was celebrated for his command of classical Greek and produced seminal translations of the Iliad and the Odyssey. Prior to the preparation of these translations, Pope took advantage of his mastery of the classical style and also his waspish wit to compose a burlesque epic about the theft of a lock of hair. The incident that inspired Pope was related to him by his friend John Caryll. Lord Petre had cut off a lock of the hair of Arabella Fermor, whom he was courting at the time, without asking the lady's permission.

Se accade che il clamore del mondo soffochi la nostra voce interiore, vuol dire che è giunto il momento della lotta: dobbiamo risvegliare il guerriero della luce che dorme in ciascuno di noi e intraprendere un cammino disseminato di lusinghe e tentazioni, un sentiero in cui ogni passo può nascondere le insidie di un intero labirinto, un percorso dove la vittoria ha il medesimo volto della sconfitta. Ma chi può soccorrerci nei momenti di difficoltà? Quali parole dobbiamo ascoltare tra le miriadi che ci rimbombano nelle orecchie? Possiamo davvero condividere con gli altri i sogni e i rimpianti?
