THE INVISIBLE MAN

Robert Louis Stevenson fue uno de los gigantes de la novela de aventuras, pero también fue uno de los grandes conocedores de la mentalidad humana, por lo que era de rigor que tarde o temprano escribiera un clásico imperecedero como El extraño caso del doctor Jekyll y el señor Hyde (1886). Lúcido testigo de la Revolución Industrial ocurrida en el Reino Unido, Stevenson reflexiona acerca de los límites del método y de la ética científicos, pero, sobre todo y de una manera absorbente e inolvidable, de la dualidad entre el bien y el mal.

Written more than 70 years ago, 1984 was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever... • Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read • “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can’t escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching... A startling and haunting novel, 1984 creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the novel’s hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions—a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.

Considered a masterpiece since its first appearance on stage in 1904, Peter Pan is J. M. Barrie’s most famous work and arguably the greatest of all children’s stories. While it is a wonderful fantasy for the young, Peter Pan, particularly in the novel form Barrie published in 1911, says something important to all of us. Here “the boy who wouldn’t grow up” and his adventures with Wendy and the lost boys in the Neverland evoke a deep emotional response as they give form to our feelings about parents, boys and girls, the unknown, freedom, and responsibility. Humorous, satiric, filled with suspenseful cliff-hangers and bittersweet truths, Peter Panworks an indisputable magic on readers of all ages, making it a true classic of imaginative literature.
