Wallace Stegner's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is a story of discovery—personal, historical, and geographical. Confined to a wheelchair, retired historian Lyman Ward sets out to write his grandparents' remarkable story, chronicling their days spent carving civilization into the surface of America's western frontier. But his research reveals even more about his own life than he's willing to admit. What emerges is an enthralling portrait of four generations in the life of an American family.

Cien años de soledad es una obra clave en la literatura hispanoamericana, una magnífica creación del escritor colombiano Gabriel Garcíaa Márquez. Reconocida como una de las más importantes novelas del siglo XX, esta obra se considera un pilar del realismo mágico, un estilo literario que mezcla lo maravilloso con la realidad.

La novela se centra en la historia de la familia Buendía a lo largo de siete generaciones, en el pueblo ficticio de Macondo. Este relato épico abarca diversos temas como el amor, la muerte, la soledad, la riqueza, la guerra y la paz, creando un universo literario donde lo cotidiano y lo fantástico se entrelazan de manera natural y poética.

Con su poderosa narrativa y su rica imaginación, Gabriel García Márquez teje una historia que no solo cuenta la vida de los personajes, sino que también refleja la historia y el espíritu de toda una época y cultura.

"Muchos años después, frente al pelotón de fusilamiento, el coronel Aureliano Buendía había de recordar aquella tarde remota en que su padre lo llevó a conocer el hielo". Con estas palabras empieza una novela ya legendaria en los anales de la literatura universal, una de las aventuras literarias más fascinantes de nuestro siglo. Millones de ejemplares de Cien años de Soledad leídos en todas las lenguas y el premio Nobel de Literatura coronando una obra que se había abierto paso "boca a boca".

Mito por derecho propio, saludada por sus lectores como la obra en español más importante después de la Biblia, Cien años de soledad cuenta la saga de la familia Buendía y su maldición, que castiga el matrimonio entre parientes dándoles hijos con cola de cerdo. Como un río desbordante, a lo largo de un siglo se entretejerán sus destinos por medio de sucesos maravillosos en el fantástico pueblo de Macondo, en una narración que es la cumbre indiscutible del realismo mágico y la literatura del boom. Alegoría universal, es también una visión de Latinoamérica y una parábola sobre la historia humana.

As I Lay Dying is Faulkner's harrowing account of the Bundren family's odyssey across the Mississippi countryside to bury Addie, their wife and mother. Narrated in turn by each of the family members -- including Addie herself -- as well as others; the novel ranges in mood, from dark comedy to the deepest pathos.

Considered one of the most influential novels in American fiction in structure, style, and drama, As I Lay Dying is a true 20th-century classic.

This edition reproduces the corrected text of As I Lay Dying as established in 1985 by Noel Polk.

Originalitatea romanului Moromeţii stă fără îndoială în noua viziune asupra lumii rurale. Cele două volume conţin povestea unei familii de ţărani din Câmpia Dunării, mai precis din satul teleormănean Siliştea-Gumeşti, care cunoaşte, de-a lungul unui sfert de secol, o adâncă şi simbolică destrămare.

În volumul I, satul e înfăţişat cu câţiva ani înaintea celui de-al doilea război mondial, în vara anului 1937, într-o perioadă de relativă sau iluzorie stabilitate socială, perioadă în care timpul era foarte răbdător cu oamenii. Spre deosebire de înaintaşi, care au văzut satul din Câmpia Dunării zbuciumat, angajat in acţiuni disperate, Marin Preda descrie, în primul volum din Moromeţii un sat în care nu se petrec drame zguduitoare, formidabile răsturnări şi unde nu clocoteşte răzvrătirea.

Traiul populaţiei din Siliştea-Gumeşti nu e uşor deloc, decât pentru câteva familii înstărite, familiile unora ca alde Aristide, Cotelici, Bălosu sau Iocan, dar nici peste măsură de amărât nu este. Îi apasă pe mulţi impozitele, fonciirea şi alte neajunsuri dar ele pot fi încă suportate de oameni, care se adună cu plăcere duminica, la taifas, în poiana lui Iocan unde citesc ziare, povestesc anecdote, glumesc, angajându-se în adevărate dueluri ale inteligenţei.

Siliştea-Gumeşti este o comună mare, cu două biserici, o şcoală cu patru sute cincizeci de elevi înscrişi şi vreo şapte învăţători. Hotarul comunei cuprinde, loturi mai vaste sau mai restrânse ale ţăranilor şi moşia Marica, vegheată cu străşnicie de un paznic. Afară de bogătaşii satului, care au case mari, ţăranii ceilalţi vieţuiesc în case cu două sau trei camere şi chiar in bordeie.

Gospodăria Moromeţilor pare solidă şi grija conducătorului ei este s-o menţină intactă. E pentru întâia oară când în literatura română ţăranul nu este stăpânit de ideea de a avea pământ, ca şansă a fericirii sale, ci de a şi-l păstra.

Η μεγάλη χίμαιρα είναι ένα λεπτομερές ψυχογράφημα. Ο συγγραφέας καταπιάνεται με έναν γυναικείο χαρακτήρα και τον αναλύει συστηματικά. Η ιστορία της Μαρίνας, μιας νεαρής Γαλλίδας που ερωτεύεται, παντρεύεται και ακολουθεί τον άνδρα της στη Σύρο, στο πατρικό του σπίτι της Επισκοπής.

Εκεί ζει, κάτω από τον βαρύ, αποδοκιμαστικό ίσκιο της πεθεράς της. Καθώς η Μαρίνα συνδέει την τύχη της με τα βαπόρια του άνδρα της, κάθε ψυχική της αναταραχή έχει περίεργες συνέπειες πάνω στη ζωή τους.

Όταν έρχεται η οικονομική καταστροφή που είναι συνδεδεμένη με την ψυχική φθορά της ηρωίδας, τότε όλα μπαίνουν στο φαύλο κύκλο του έρωτα και του θανάτου.

City is a captivating series of interconnected stories, forming a tapestry of legends, myths, and campfire tales told by Dogs about the twilight of human civilization. These stories revolve around the Webster family, renowned for their remarkable achievements, including designing the ships that propelled humans to the stars and bestowing Dogs with the gift of speech and robots to aid them.

The narrative unfolds over the course of 10,000 years, through the eyes of the Webster family and the immortal robot Jenkins. It touches upon themes dear to 1940s science fiction: robots, genetic engineering, space exploration, domed cities, hiveminds, telepathy, and parallel worlds.

As humanity's influence wanes, the Dogs, bred to eschew violence, inherit the Earth. The stories, imbued with a pastoral serenity, explore the enduring question of which of humanity's creations will ultimately claim the stars.

East of Eden is a novel that John Steinbeck considered to be his magnum opus. The story is set in the rich farmland of California's Salinas Valley and follows the intertwined destinies of two families—the Trasks and the Hamiltons. Steinbeck explores themes such as the mystery of identity, the inexplicability of love, and the consequences of love's absence.

The narrative spans generations and begins with Adam Trask, who moved to California from the East to farm and raise a family on the new, rich land. However, the birth of his twin sons, Cal and Aaron, leads to his wife's descent into madness, leaving Adam to raise the boys alone. As the brothers grow, one is nurtured by the love of those around him while the other is shrouded in a mysterious darkness, embodying the biblical allegory of Cain and Abel.

East of Eden delves into the characters' most enduring themes, drawing parallels to the Book of Genesis and presenting a powerful, ambitious narrative that is both a family saga and a modern retelling of ancient stories. The novel's characters are some of Steinbeck's most mesmerizing, and the story is a captivating tale of human emotion and conflict.
