Ulysses por
- Joyce, James, 1882-1941
- Kiberd, Declan [introd.]
Series Classics
Edición: Reimp. Temas: AUTORES IRLANDESES; NOVELAS.
Tipo de material:  Texto; Forma literaria:
No es ficción
Detalles de publicación: London : Penguin, 2000
Resumen: Literature, as Joyce tells us through the character of Stephen Dedalus, "is the eternal affirmation of the spirit of man". Written over a seven-year period, from 1914 to 1921, Ulysses has survived bowderlization, legal action and bitter controversy. An undisputed modernist classic, its ceaseless verbal inventiveness and astonishingly wide-ranging allusions confirm its standing as an imperishable monument to the human condition. Declan Kiberd says in his introduction Ulysses is "An endlessly open book of utopian epiphanies. It holds a mirror up to the colonial capital that was Dublin on 16 June 1904, but it also offers redemptive glimpses of a future world which might be made over in terms of those utopian moments".

Resumen: Vibrant and colourful ... twenty-three magical tales, of anger that changes to laughter and revenge that turns into love' - Literary Review... Commanded by her lover Oto tell him a story he has never heard before, Eva Luna spins a skein that weaves in and out of the colour and passion of the harsh, sun-impacted landscapes of South America. Her stories encompass guerrillas and fortune-tellers, tyrants and beauties, whores and peasants; her themes tangle with politics and poverty, passion, pain and tragedy. And, throughout, the simple longing of the human heart for happiness is tempered by hope. 'Like a plate ofhors-d'reuvres, each one tempting, some as exquisite as caviare ... stunning' - The New York Times Book Review 'One could happily read more of these fanrastic, sexy, and sometimes macabre tales that treat the reader to Isabel Allende's extraordinary imagination' - Guardian 'Vital and compelling' - The Times...'Enchanting... magnificent... absolutF magic on every level' - Cosmopolitán

Detalles de publicación: London : Penguin, 1951
Resumen: Living in poverty and struggling from day to day can be a very difficult way to live your life. Most of us, if given the opportunity, would try to make changes to our lives and our situation if we could. Pygmalion is a play by George Bernard Shaw that tells the story of a poor, young flower girl who has been disrespected and overlooked because of her appearance and the dialect she speaks. When given the opportunity, she decides to get language lessons in order to gain the respect of others and improve her overall status in life. The outcome of her training is not what she expected, and she is not only able to change her appearance and speech but also gain confidence in her own abilities.

- Topolski, Feliks [il.]
Series The Bernard Shaw libraryTemas: AUTORES IRLANDESES; TEATRO; INGLÉS.
Tipo de material: Texto; Forma literaria:

Detalles de publicación: London : Penguin, s.f
Resumen: Bernard Shaw was born in Dublin, of Protestant stock, in 1856, and died at Aot St Lawrence, Herts, in 1950. The first London perfomance of Pygmalion took place in 1914: Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree and Mrs Patrick Campbell took the leading roles. From the outset in proved a sensational sucess, although Shaw, irrittated by its popularity at the expense of his artistic intentions, dismissed that Higgins and Eliza would marry he wrote a short-story epilogue with a bitter-sweet ending. Nevertheless, Shaw's dramatization of a Cockney flower girl's metamorphosis into a lady not only is a delightful fantasy but also has women's independence. Its combination of ideas and social comment, together with its rich comie characterization, make it one of the most enduring and ehtertaining of english comedies.

Edición: reimpr. Temas: AUTORES INGLESES; NOVELAS.
Tipo de material: Texto; Forma literaria:
No es ficción
Detalles de publicación: : Penguin, 1963
Resumen: Orlando: una biografía, es la sexta novela de Virginia Woolf, publicada el 11 de octubre de 1928. La editorial que se encargó de su publicación, Hogarth Press, pertenecía al matrimonio Woolf. Se trata de una obra en parte biográfica, basada en la vida de la íntima amiga de Woolf Vita Sackville-West. Se considera que es una de las novelas más accesibles de Woolf, y por ello la de mayor éxito de la autora en vida. Ha influido mucho estilísticamente, y se la considera importante en la literatura en general, y en la escritura femenina y los estudios de género en particular. La directora Sally Potter rodó una notable versión cinematográfica en 1992, con Tilda Swinton de protagonista como Orlando y Quentin Crisp como la reina Isabel I.

Detalles de publicación: New York : Penguin BooksPenguin Modern Classics, 1973
Resumen: Mrs Woolf, wrote one reviewer on the publication of Mrs Dalloway in 1925, makes great the little matter and leaves us with that sense of the inexhaustible richness of the fabric of life which marks the work of this truly creative artist. With this book Virginia Woolf broke finally with the traditional form of the English novel. Although she had not yet pushed the process as far as she later did in "To the Lighthouse" and "The waves", the life of the mind was already ousting in importance the tangible reality of the external world.

I, Claudius por Temas: AUTORES INGLÉSES; NOVELAS.
Tipo de material: Texto; Forma literaria:
No es ficción Idioma: Inglés
Detalles de publicación: London : Penguin, 1953
Resumen: Claudius was the fourth Emperor of Rome (r. 41-54 AD). Historically, Claudius' family kept him out of public life until his sudden coronation at the age of forty nine. This was due to his mental illness, which included a stammer, a limp, and various nervous tics which made him appear mentally deficient to his relatives. This is how he was defined by scholars for most of history, and Graves uses these peculiarities to develop a sympathetic character whose survival in a murderous dynasty depends upon his family's incorrect assumption that he is a harmless idiot.

Farewell in splendor : the passing of Queen Victoria and her age por Series A William Abrahams BookTemas: AUTORES INGLÉSES; NOVELAS; NOVELAS HISTORICAS.
Tipo de material: Texto; Forma literaria:
Ficción Idioma: Inglés
Detalles de publicación: London : Penguin, 1953
Resumen: After reigning as Britain's queen for 63 years, Victoria died at her palace on the Isle of Wight on January 22, 1901. In this highly readable account, Packard (Sons of Heaven) painstakingly details Victoria's last days, her funeral and the public mourning that followed. Although he expresses admiration for the queen's indomitable will, he views her as a self-indulgent and unforgiving woman. Victoria lived in seclusion for 40 years following the death of her husband, Albert. She deprived her eldest son, Bertie, heir to the throne, of any role in government, Packard argues, because Bertie could not live up to Albert's image. The deathbed scene, with Bertie and his sisters jockeying with Kaiser William of Germany (Victoria's favorite grandson) to be nearer their mother, comes vividly to life.

Tipo de material: Texto; Forma literaria:

Resumen: While Geoffrey Chaucer composed several magnificent works of poetry, his reputations as "the father of English literature" rests mainly on The Canterbury Tales, a group of stories told by an oddly assorted band of pilgrims en route to the shrine of Thomas à Becket in Canterbury Cathedral. From the mirthful and bawdy to the profoundly moral, the tales, taken in their entirety, reflect not only the manners and mores of medieval England, but, indeed, the full comic and tragic dimensions of the human condition.

Detalles de publicación: Londres : Penguin BooksPenguin Modern Classics, 1966
Resumen: Pinkie, the boy with death at his fingertips, was not just bad -he worshipped in the temple of evil as his parents had worshipped in the house of God. Crime, in his dark mind, was a release so deep and satisfying that he had no need of drink or women. There is a sinister, chilling fascination in Graham Greene's story of the Brighton underworld -a story which, when it is finished, seems to have been injected into the veins.

After a false star in ninetenth-century fashion as a novelist, he made a reputation as a journalist-critic of books, pictures. music, and the drama Meanwhile he had plunged into the Socialist revival of the eighteen-eighties and come out as one of the leaders who made the Fabian Society famous, figuring prominently not only as a pamphleteer and plattorm orater, but as a serious economist and philosopher, publishing major essays on Ibsen and Wagner. He broke out in a new direction in 1892 as a playright, although it was not until some twelve years later that the opposition he had always to face at first was overcome sufficiently to establish him as an irresistible force in the theatre.

Resumen: Grammar, as most people understand it, means tenses, cases, genders, declensions and so on, taught at school but almost invariably forgotten, without apparent loss to our faculties. What we have learnt is English systematically forced into the formal categories of Latin which it will not bend to. Hence 'Between you and me will remain 'correct' long after 'Between you and I' has become the common expression.

The illustration by John Reynolds are ludicrously apt. A memorable history of England, comprising all the parts you can remember, including 103 Good Things, 5 bad kings, and 2 genuine dates.
