Story
The Divine Comedy (Italian: Commedia, later christened "Divina" by Giovanni Boccaccio), written by Dante Alighieri between 1308 and his death in 1321, is widely considered the central epic poem of Italian literature, the last great work of literature of the Middle Ages and the first great work of the Renaissance.

Story
Few lives are as dramatic as Lina Kennedy's, and few stories of survival and triumph are as satisfying as this inspirational autobiography. Professionally, Lina is the founder of a multimillion-dollar business based on her hard work, innovations, and discoveries. She speaks and teaches around the world. Yet behind the compelling story of how she built her company lies another drama, the tale of an abused child who could not be crushed. Raised in poverty and dysfunction, she was sustained by her inner strength and by a near-death experience at age seven.

Story
La peculiar investigadora criminal de la policía de Estocolmo, Charlie Lager, es enviada allí para hacerse cargo del caso junto a su compañero Anders Bratt: es la mejor y nunca abandona un caso. Para Charlie, sin embargo, no se trata de un caso más, sino de un viaje en el tiempo, ya que se ve obligada a regresar al pueblo en el que nació, al lugar que dejó cuando tenía catorce años, a un pasado y a una infancia de la que hizo todo lo posible para escapar. De nuevo en casa, los recuerdos - y las pesadillas - cobran vida.

En la muerte solo sucede la muerte, pero los funerales fingen atender a la muerte para dejar que otras cosas sucedan. Por su naturaleza escénica, de entrega, dolor y disimulos, se les ha dedicado este libro. Se trata de una antología compuesta por cuentos inéditos de veinte autores latinoamericanos. Cómicos o dramáticos, fantásticos o realistas, estilizados o prosaicos, leyendo estos cuentos el lector se dará cuenta de que la muerte tiene una fecha y una hora precisas, pero no hay forense que certifique la duración de un funeral.

Grant Allen was an anthropologist, scientific writer, novelist and poet, though the biographer and writer Frank Harris has said of him that "He could be described with more 'ists' than anyone else I ever saw. He was an atheist and pacifist and socialist, a botanist and zoologist and optimist, a chemist and physicist, a scientist of scientists, a monist, meliorist and hedonist…".

Augustus Caesar and the Organisation of the Empire of Rome by John Benjamin Firth

Story

Nominally an autobiography, Biographia Literaria ranges widely across the realms of philosophy, poetry and memoir, in Coleridge's trademark discursive style, providing a living glimpse of the great talker, the man who could hold his contemporaries in thrall for hours with his dazzling conversation, and who was famously described as the last man "to have read everything".
