The provocative question at the heart of the mystery: Can you believe everything you see with your own eyes, even when you desperately want to? To find the answer, Maya must finally come to terms with deep secrets and deceit in her own past before she can face the unbelievable truth about her husband—and herself.

In San Francisco in 1866, an Irish nun, abandoned following a torrid relationship with a Chilean aristocrat, gives birth to a daughter named Emilia del Valle. Raised by a loving stepfather, Emilia grows into an independent thinker and a self-sufficient young woman. To pursue her passion for writing, she is willing to defy societal norms. At the age of seventeen, she begins to publish pulp fiction using a man’s pen name. When these fictional worlds can no longer satisfy her sense of adventure, she turns to journalism, convincing an editor at The Daily Examiner to hire her. There she is paired with another talented reporter, Eric Whelan. As she proves herself, her restlessness returns, until an opportunity arises to cover a brewing civil war in Chile. She seizes it, as does Eric, and while there, she meets her estranged father and delves into the violent confrontation in the country where her roots lie. As she and Eric discover love, the war escalates and Emilia finds herself in extreme danger, fearing for her life and questioning her identity and her destiny.

Grandes esperanzas, considerada como la mejor obra del gran novelista inglés Charles Dickens, contiene muchos elementos autobiográficos del autor, aderezados con su delicioso manejo de la ironía, el misterio, la sátira social y el retrato costumbrista. Conmovedora historia de uno de los grandes personajes de la literatura inglesa surgidos de la mente de uno de sus mejores creadores.

La importancia y sentido de" Pasaje a la India" , considerada de forma casi unánime la obra cumbre de su autor, no se reducen en modo alguno a la simple denuncia de los estragos causados por el imperialismo británico en el subcontinente indio, sino que E. M. Forster lleva a cabo en ella la transposición poética del enfrentamiento de dos mundos opuestos, Oriente y Occidente; de dos actitudes mentales, la intuitiva y la lógica; de dos principios reducidos a norma de conducta, la estética y el pragmatismo. Un conjunto de oposiciones aglutinado por la poesía y el humor y sobre el que planea, a lo largo de toda la novela, la imposibilidad de comunicación de dos seres unidos por la amistad o el amor.

Este gran clásico de la literatura narra los amores y desventuras de la señora March y sus cuatro hijas. Bajo la capa de aparente ligereza que le otorga su condición de retrato costumbrista y sus aires de manual de modales para jovencitas, Mujercitas es un entretenido canto a la libertad y la alegría de vivir, sobre todo gracias al personaje de Jo, que sirvió de icono para parte del movimiento feminista.
