Any study of Dàoism is a paradox. The first line of the Dàodé Jīng declares: "The way that can be spoken of is not the constant way." This inherent contradiction—attempting to define the indefinable—lies at the heart of the tradition. Yet it is precisely this tension that makes Dàoism so rich and enduring.

Pero descubre que los niños parecen poseídos por una pareja de amantes ya fallecidos: la antigua niñera y un empleado de la casa.

Milly Theale is a young, beautiful, and fabulously wealthy American. When she arrives in London and meets the equally beautiful but impoverished Kate Croy, they form an intimate friendship.

"El alumno", de Henry James, se centra en la relación entre un preceptor, su inteligente discípulo y la extravagante familia de éste. Su autor nos guía con exquisita destreza hacia un final tan inesperado como magistral.

Esta exageración se debe, tal vez, al magnífico desempeño de Henry James en la construcción de la trama.
