El Ártico es también el destino que le ha sido reservado a Buck, un formidable perro mestizo, hijo de un San Bernardo y de una pastora escocesa, que disfruta de una existencia apacible y civilizada hasta que es vendido para tirar de un trineo en los páramos helados de Alaska y Canadá. De poco servirá lo que ha aprendido hasta el momento. En este nuevo entorno hostil, rápidamente advierte que la única ley válida es la del ®garrote y el colmillo—, tan cruel como implacable. Buck se verá obligado a luchar por la propia supervivencia y conocerá la ferocidad de la naturaleza, que despertará en él atávicos instintos que habían permanecido dormidos mucho tiempo.

Inicialmente aparecida por entregas en la revista Outing, fue publicada en 1906. La historia transcurre en el Territorio del Yukón, Canadá, durante la Fiebre del oro de Klondike a fines del siglo XIX. Narra el camino hacia la domesticación de un perro lobo salvaje.

Colmillo Blanco examina el violento mundo de los animales salvajes y el igualmente violento mundo de los humanos. La novela además explora temas complejos, como la moral y la redención.

El mundo cómico de Shakespeare empieza a incorporarse a nuestra serie con sus dos piezas, quizá, más caracterizadas, en sentidos muy diversos: Un sueño de la noche de San Juan, deslumbrante fantasía en que se alternan planos de magia y planos de realidad, y Las alegres casadas de Windsor, donde Falstaff, el caballero juerguista y bebedor, corruptor de un príncipe, en Enrique IV, llena con su gran humanidad esta farsa donde queda en ridículo como víctima de unas malignas señoras.
A masterpiece by the great American realist Henry James, Daisy Miller is the story of an innocent girl's love and recognition in a society where respectable behaviour counts for everything.[Macmillan]
Travelling in Europe with her family, Daisy Miller, an exquisitely beautiful young American woman, presents her fellow-countryman Winterbourne with a dilemma he cannot resolve. Is she deliberately flouting social convention in the outspoken way she talks and acts, or is she simply ignorant of them? When she strikes up an intimate friendship with an urbane young Italian, her flat refusal to observe the codes of respectable behaviour leaves her perilously exposed. In Daisy Miller, James dramatizes the conflict between old-world manners and nouveau riche tourists, creating a great portrait of an enigmatic and independent American woman. The story explores themes of innocence, social expectations, and the complexities of cultural differences, ultimately questioning the nature of freedom and the consequences of defiance in a society bound by strict social codes.
A los treinta y un años y con una vida aparentemente perfecta, Elizabeth Gilbert se traslada con su marido a las afueras de Nueva York y decide intentar tener un hijo, sólo para darse cuenta de que no quería ni un hijo ni un marido. En plena crisis emocional y espiritual decide empezar de nuevo y emprender un largo viaje. Este libro es la bitácora de esa travesía, en la que la autora descubrirá el placer sensual de la buena mesa y la buena conversación (la dolce vita romana), la paz interior alcanzada mediante la meditación en Bombay y, por fin, el deseado equilibrio entre cuerpo y espíritu en Bali. «En Come, reza, ama Elizabeth Gilbert nos regala un diario de descubrimiento y viaje interior estructurado como una novela romántica que atrapa al lector desde la primera página. El tono de complicidad, el estilo informal y por momentos muy divertido convierten su lectura en una experiencia inolvidable.» Publishers Weekly
