Arabian Nights, Volume I
Enjoy the timeless tales of Aladdin, Sinbad, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, and many more in this first volume of The Arabian Nights.

Upon learning of his queen’s infidelity, proud King Shahryar has her killed. As revenge on womankind, he decides to wed a different virgin every night, only to have her beheaded at dawn. Such is Shahryar’s practice for three terrible years—until he weds Scheherazade, the maiden who will change his life....

A breathtaking beauty, Scheherazade is as learned as she is sensuous. Her first night with the king, she uses her imagination, her eloquence, and more than a little cunning to regale him with a tale of genies and wishes, wisely cutting the story short at dawn. The king is so beguiled, he cannot have her murdered without hearing the story’s end. From then on, Scheherazade spends nights conjuring stories of flying carpets and fantastical journeys, always stopping with a cliff-hanger—and saving her own life.

This edition follows the unexpurgated translation of Richard F. Burton, the renowned Victorian explorer. Intricate and inventive, these stories within stories continue to captivate readers as they have for centuries.

Don Quixote
In a new translation that “comes closest, among the modern translations, to the simple, intimate, direct style that characterizes Cervantes’ narrative,”* Don Quixote is a novel that is both immortal satire of an outdated chivalric code and a biting portrayal of an age in which nobility was a form of madness.

The catcher in the rye
The "brilliant, funny, meaningful novel" (The New Yorker) that established J. D. Salinger as a leading voice in American literature--and that has instilled in millions of readers around the world a lifelong love of books.




"If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth."

Madame Bovary
Both embodiment and victim of the self-satisfied nineteenth-century French bourgeoisie, Emma Bovary lives in pursuit of something more, like the world depicted in the romance novels that have come to define her. Emma is oblivious to the realities of life, and her romantic delusions and search for transcendence through sex, money, and social position serve only to drive the increasingly troubled woman into an irreversible moral, emotional, and spiritual decline.

Animal Farm
George Orwell's timeless and timely allegorical novel—a scathing satire on a downtrodden society’s blind march towards totalitarianism.

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned—a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible.

When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell’s masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.

1984
Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can’t escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching...

A startling and haunting novel, 1984 creates an imaginary world that is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the novel’s hold on the imaginations of whole generations, or the power of its admonitions—a power that seems to grow, not lessen, with the passage of time.

Antonio y Cleopatra
Según Harold Bloom, de todas las representaciones femeninas de Shakespeare, «Cleopatra es la más sutil y formidable por consenso universal». Antonio y Cleopatra, última tragedia de amor de Shakespeare, es la única en la que el tema amoroso está fatalmente ligado a la lucha por el poder. La acción se despliega en una continua alternancia entre Roma y Alejandría como extremos opuestos del mundo antiguo y símbolos del conflicto de Antonio entre su deber romano y su pasión egipcia.

Escrita hacia 1607, parece que en ella Shakespeare se hubiera propuesto enfrentarse a las tendencias neoclásicas ya iniciadas en su época y desafiar la racionalidad de lectores y espectadores. Pues, si osado es el amor de los protagonistas, el estilo y la estructura de la obra no lo son menos. Sea o no, como se ha sugerido, una obra experimental, Antonio y Cleopatra es sin duda diferente, y no es de extrañar que se la haya llamado la tragedia gozosa de Shakespeare: no lloramos la pérdida trágica que nos presenta, sino que su final nos agrada y satisface.

Fue Coleridge el primer poeta que se sintió hechizado por el estilo de Antonio y Cleopatra, singularmente por la audacia de sus aciertos expresivos. Sin embargo, hubo que esperar al siglo XX para que sea generalmente reconocida: T.S. Eliot la proclamó, con Coriolano, el mayor logro artístico de su autor, y, según Harold Bloom, si alguien quiere ver lo que Shakespeare era capaz de hacer, y en una sola obra, lo puede encontrar en ésta.

Through his characters, he explores themes of love, masculinity, identity, and the futile quest for meaning in a world that seems to have lost its way.

Don Juan
Nobel Prize winner Peter Handke offers a wry and entertaining take on history's most famous seducer as he takes a respite from his stressful existence

Don Juan's story—"his own version"—is filtered through the consciousness of an anonymous narrator, a failed innkeeper and chef, into whose solitude Don Juan bursts one day. On each day of the week that follows, Don Juan describes the adventures he experienced on that same day a week earlier. The adventures are erotic, but Handke's Don Juan is more pursued than pursuer. What makes his accounts riveting are the remarkable evocations of places and people, and the nature of his narration. Don Juan: His Own Version is, above all, a book about storytelling and its ability to burst the ordinary boundaries of time and space.
