A Daniel Defoe le cabe el raro honor de haber dado forma a uno de esos personajes literarios que se convierten en paradigmas de la condición humana. Si el Quijote encarna la fuerza paradójica de los ideales, si Ulises representa al hombre que se sobrepone al destino, y el capitán Nemo al rebelde enemistado con la sociedad, Robinson Crusoe es la expresión de la lucha del hombre por hacerse un lugar en el mundo [...] La sana reacción contra los excesos experimentales de los años sesenta y setenta y la irrupción de una literatura, sobre todo a partir de la publicación de Cien años de soledad, que vuelve a contar historias y a buscar la complicidad del lector, han permitido una revalorización de esos libros de aventuras con los que aprendimos a amar la lectura y que se han revelado no sólo como gratos entretenimientos sino también como sólidas obras literarias cuya influencia perdura hasta nuestros días. Ése es el caso [...] de las aventuras de Robinson Crusoe

Entre lo más representativo de la impresionante obra de Faulkner se encuentran las novelas que se conocen bajo el nombre de ciclo de Yoknapatawpha, desarrolladas a modo de fábula sobre la vida en el sur de los Estados Unidos y sobre el destino humano en cualquier parte del mundo. "El villorrio" -primera parte de la Trilogía de los Snopes, a la que también pertenecen "La ciudad" y "La mansión"- comienza con la llegada de diversos miembros de una familia a una aldea de Jefferson, precedidos por un ambiguo rumor de extrañas venganzas en más de una granja. Poco a poco, de manera tan insidiosa como arrolladora, los Snopes van apoderándose del pueblo ante el asombro y la impotencia de sus habitantes, y lo conducen con la mayor sangre fría hacia el fracaso, la humillación e incluso la muerte

And take Arthur Daley - please. I've heard he even charges his mum petrol money when he runs her home. Arthur will do anyone for anything; perhaps that's why he needs Terry as a minder...
