J. J. Grandville Libros
J.J. Grandville fue un ilustrador y caricaturista francés cuya obra se caracteriza por una invención extraordinaria y una perspicacia satírica. Alcanzó la fama con su serie 'Les Métamorphoses du jour', en la que representaba figuras humanas con rasgos animales para comentar de manera brillante la naturaleza humana y los fenómenos sociales. Su arte reside en la hábil transferencia de emociones y características humanas a rostros animales, creando un potente comentario visual. La obra de Grandville explora la delgada línea entre la humanidad y la animalidad.
[Penguin Readers Level 2]Robinson Crusoe is among the first novels written in English. Thanks to its extraordinary realism and drama, it is easily the longest-enduring work of popular fiction in the language. The story, probably based on the Pacific-island ordeal of castaway Alexander Selkirk, was presented by Daniel Defoe as a true account, and is utterly convincing in its topography, action, and character, even three hundred years after its first publication. Robinson Crusoe is a true page-turner: Dr. Samuel Johnson said it was one of only three books he had read that would have been better for being longer.
