Story
Alejandro, es un hombre muy rico llegado de no se sabe dónde y quizá con un pasado traumático. Es un hombre sencillo, pero terco y voluntarioso. Julia Yáñez, la beldad más codiciada de la provincia, es obligada a casarse con Alejandro, pero finalmente se enamora de él. Alejandro no sabe demostrar amor a Julia, para él esos son bobadas, tonterías de novelas. De las novelas que lee Julia: “Solamente los tontos hablan de estas cosas” suele decir. Y Julia no cesa de preguntarse ¿me quiere o no me quiere?. (Introducción por Montse González)

Story
Le Rime (in English, The Rhymes) are the collection of lyric poems written by Dante Alighieri throughout his life. While the rest of Dante's works were prepared by himself for publication, these poems were written by him in letters, as parts of other works or independently, but only collected and ordered much later, by modern critics. Among these is found the famous collection of Rime Petrose, a cycle of poems dedicated to a woman nicknamed Pietra (Stone) due to her insensibility to the poet's love. As the work of a whole life, the poems are varied, and mirror the many different moments of ...

Als der berückend gutaussehende Jüngling Dorian Gray sein Porträt betrachtet, kommt ihm der Gedanke, wie herrlich es sein müsste, wenn das Bild an seiner Stelle altern könnte, während er selbst für immer jung und schön bliebe. Als sich dieser fantastische Wunsch zu erfüllen beginnt, genießt Dorian seine ewige Jugend in vollen Zügen - während in seiner Seele ein grauenvolles Werk der Zerstörung seinen Lauf nimmt.

Story
Luís Vaz de Camões (c. 1524 — 10 de Junho de 1580) é frequentemente considerado como o maior poeta de língua portuguesa e dos maiores da Humanidade. O seu gênio é comparável ao de Virgílio, Dante, Cervantes ou Shakespeare.

Alguns dos seus sonetos, como o conhecido "Amor é fogo que arde sem se ver", pela ousada utilização dos paradoxos, prenunciam o Barroco. Nesta coleção, ...

Story
Two short fragments: an unfinished and a lost play. A Florentine Tragedy, left in a taxi (not a handbag), is Wilde’s most successful attempt at tragedy – intense and domestic, with surprising depth of characterisation. It was adapted into an opera by the Austrian composer Alexander Zemlinsky in 1917. La Sainte Courtisane, or The Woman Covered in Jewels explores one of Wilde’s great idées fixes: the paradox of religious hedonism, pagan piety. Both plays, Wildean to their core, revel in the profound sadness that is the fruit of the conflict between fidelity and forbidden love. Written ...

The Death of Ivan Ilyitch is the story of a socially ambitious middle-aged judge who contracts an unexplained and untreatable illness. As Ivan Ilyitch is forced to face the death he fears, he asks himself whether the life he thought was so correct was, in fact, a moral life after all.

Sus gotas centelleantes han atravesado el granito, la roca calcárea y la arcilla; han sido nieve sobre la cumbre del frío monte, molécula de vapor en la nube, blanca espuma en las erizadas olas.” El autor sigue el arroyo por sus muchos caminos – el desierto, la montaña, la gruta, la sima, etc., ...

En 1880 Argentina exhibía un Estado nacional consolidado, una economía capitalista en expansión, una sociedad dinámica. Los cincuenta años subsiguientes marcaron logros aún más importantes: un crecimiento económico de los mayores del mundo, la vertiginosa diversificación de la sociedad impulsada por la inmigración y expresada en una modesta pero cierta modernización cultural y un sistema político que trabajosamente buscó su estabilidad en la democracia. La inserción en el mundo fue el motor de estos logros, pero también ella, portadora de crisis económicas e ideológicas, le ...
