  Animal Farm

  by George Orwell

  A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned - a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible. When Animal Farm was first... (more)

  by Julio Cortazar

  In these eight masterpieces there is no room for the smallest sign of stumbling or youthful undertones: they are perfect. These stories that speak about objects and daily happenings, pass over to another dimension, one of nightmare or revelation. In each text, surprise and uneasiness are ingredients added to the indescribable pleasure of its reading. These stories may upset readers due to a very rare... (more)

  No One Writes to the Colonel

  by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

  Written with compassionate realism and wit, the stories in this mesmerizing collection depict the disparities of town and village life in South America, of the frightfully poor and outrageously rich, of memories and illusions, and of lost opportunities and present joys.

  En La Sangre

  by Eugenio Cambaceres

  By the end of the 19th century, successive waves of immigration had modified the booming Argentine society at a vertiginous pace, violently shaking its structures. The undesired side effects of the massive immigrant flow forced readjustments in the free-thinking, free-enterprise, liberal line of thought, pursued until then by the aristocratic but progessive ruling classes. The contradictions in their ideology... (more)

  Los Siete Locos (Letras Hispanicas)

  by Roberto Arlt

  De Los siete locos, que llevo al cine Leopoldo Torre Nilsson y que presentamos con un esclarecedor prologo de Mirta Arlt, ha escrito Juan Carlos Onetti: ...habia nacido para escribir sus desdichas infantiles, adolescentes, adultas. Lo hizo con rabia y con genio, cosas que le sobraban. Todo Buenos Aires, por lo menos, leyo este libro. Los intelectuales interrumpieron los dry martinis para encoger los hombros y... (more)

  Divina Comedia (Biblioteca de literatura universal) 13 Dante Alighieri

  by Dante Alighieri

  La figura de Dante sobresale indiscutiblemente por encima de sus contemporaneos. A caballo entre dos siglos, la edad vieja, duecuento, y la nueva, trecento, se funden en su obra. De la primera recoge la sutil tematica -stilnovista-, irradiando su propia erudicion en todos los campos del saber; el trecento manifiesta una concepcion mas moderna del gusto, un interes mas discreto para los clasicos y una vision mas... (more)

  Bartleby, El Escribiente

  by Herman Melville

  "Bartleby", escrito en 1853, es dentro de la obra de Melville, una curiosa aventura hacia mares interiores. Ciertamente, este relato logra unir la compasión y la curiosidad del lector por saber quién es el silencioso escribiente, cada vez más retraído del mundo exterior y más cercano a sus propios muros.
