Cuánto quiero a las pobres palabras, que tan míseras están en lo diario: a ellas, las invisibles palabras. De mis fiestas les regalo colores: sonríen, y se ponen alegres lentamente.

Edgar Allan Poe remains the unsurpassed master of works of mystery and madness in this outstanding collection of Poe's prose and poetry are sixteen of his finest tales, including "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", "The Fall of the House of Usher," "The Pit and the Pendulum," "William Wilson," "The Black Cat," "The Cask of Amontillado," and "Eleonora". Here too is a major selection of what Poe characterized as the passion of his life, his poems - "The Raven," "Annabel Lee," Ulalume," "Lenore," "The Bells," and more, plus his glorious prose poem "Silence - A Fable" and only full-length novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym.

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.

La buena terrorista sigue los pasos de Alice Mellings, una mujer que transforma su casa en el cuartel general de un grupo de radicales de izquierdas que desearían colaborar con el IRA. Mientras Alice lucha por conciliar su ideología con su educación burguesa, sus compañeros encuentran retos inesperados en su activismo por el cambio social y contra el capitalismo. La visión ricamente matizada que aporta Doris Lessing al conflicto entre lo personal y lo político hace de La buena terrorista un retrato fascinante de la vida doméstica y la rebeldía. «Una novela magnífica, de un realismo dinámico y escrupuloso, absolutamente contemporánea."
