“Durante muchos días habíamos sido azotados por la tempestad... la furiosa tormenta aumentó en intensidad hasta que en el séptimo día toda esperanza se perdió.” A partir de estas sombrías líneas iniciales, comienza una historia atemporal de aventura. Una familia sobrevivirá a esta terrible tormenta: los Robinson, un pastor suizo, su esposa y cuatro hijos, además de dos perros y una carga de ganado. Inspirada en "Robinson Crusoe" de Daniel Defoe, esta conmovedora historia retrata la lucha de una familia por crear una nueva vida en una extraña y fantástica isla tropical. Allí, cada niño debe aprender a utilizar su propia naturaleza única mientras sus aventuras los llevan a desafíos difíciles y descubrimientos asombrosos, incluyendo un enigmático mensaje atado a la pata de un albatros. Pero es en la ingeniosidad y autenticidad de la familia misma, y en las maravillas naturales de esta tierra exótica, que "El Robinson suizo", publicado por primera vez a principios del siglo XIX, se ha convertido en una de las historias de naufragio y supervivencia más perdurables e imitadas.

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. Thomas Hughes' novel about the mischievous but kind-hearted schoolboy Tom Brown inspired other school novels, including Frank Richards' Billy Bunter stories and J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. The novel begins at Tom's childhood home in the Vale of the White Horse, where he spends his days out in the fields with his pony. This early idyllic setting it set up as a contrast to the stresses that Tom undergoes later at Rugby boarding school when he encounters the bully Flashman. Tom is helped through his struggles by his friends Harry 'Scud' East and the frail but brilliant George Arthur, whom Tom protects, and who ultimately helps Tom develop into a young gentleman ready for Oxford university.

'The Canterbury Tales', compiled in the late fourteenth century, is an incisive portrait, infused with Chaucer's wry wit and vibrant, poetical language. He evokes a spestrum of colourful characters, from the bawdy Wife of Bath to the gallant Knight, the fastidious Prioress and the burly, drunken Miller. As they wend their way from Southwark to Canterbury, tales are told to pass the time, and the stories are as diverse as the narrators, encompassing themes such as adultery, revenge, courtly love, lechery, avarice and penitence. As humorous today as when it was written over six centuries ago, 'The Canterbury Tales' remains one of the most popular and enjoyable of the classic works of literature.
