› Find signed collectible books: 'Ada O El Ardor'Book summary:Publicada por el autor a sus setenta años, esta novela supone el felicisimo apogeo de su larga y brillante carrera literaria. Al mismo tiempo que cronica familiar e historia de amor, es un tratado filosofico sobre la naturaleza del tiempo, una parodica historia del genero novelesco, una novela erotica, un canto al placer y una reivindicacion del Paraiso entendido como algo que no hay que buscar en el mas alla, sino en la Tierra. Aqui destaca por encima de todo la historia de encuentros y desencuentros entre los principales protagonistas, Van Veen y Ada, los dos hermanos que, creyendose solo primos, se enamoran pasionalmente con motivo de su encuentro adolescente en la finca familiar de Ardis y que ahora, con motivo del noventa y siete cumpleanos de Van, contemplan los distintos avatares de su amor.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Entrevista con el Vampiro'Book summary:The archetypal vampire myth is refreshed for a modern audience in this narrative of an 18th-century Louisiana plantation owner named Louis Pointe du Lac and the charismatic and powerful vampire Lestat who chooses Louis to be his fledgling. In Louis's first-person confession to a skeptical boy, this novel transforms the vampire from a hideous predator into a highly sympathetic, seductive, and human figure. The life of immortal Lestat, raised with a deep Catholic faith, provides a background for the novel's philosophical discussions of the nature of evil, the reality of death, and the limits of human perception.[via]La mitología del vampiro es reinventado para lectores del siglo 20 en esta historia de Louis Pointe du Lac, el dueño de una plantación en el Louisiana del siglo 18, y el vampiro poderoso y dinámico Lestat quien adopta a Louis como discípulo. El voz de Louis narra la novela, y este punto de vista trasforma el vampiro de un monstruo a una figura simpática, seductiva, y humana. La vida de inmortal Lestat, quien tiene profunda fe católica, provee una arena para discursos filosóficos de la natura del malo, la realidad de la muerte, y las limitaciones de la percepción humana.More editions of Entrevista Con El Vampiro:

Ficcionarioby Jorge Luis BorgesISBN 9681620283 (968-16-2028-3)
Softcover, Fondo De Cultura Economica USA
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Ficcionario'Book summary:Reading Jorge Luis Borges is an experience akin to having the top of one's head removed for repairs. First comes the unfamiliar breeze tickling your cerebral cortex; then disorientation, even mild discomfort; and finally, the sense that the world has been irrevocably altered--and in this case, rendered infinitely more complex. First published in 1945, his Ficciones compressed several centuries' worth of philosophy and poetry into 17 tiny, unclassifiable pieces of prose. He offered up diabolical tigers, imaginary encyclopedias, ontological detective stories, and scholarly commentaries on nonexistent books, and in the process exploded all previous notions of genre. Would any of David Foster Wallace's famous footnotes be possible without Borges? Or, for that matter, the syntactical games of Perec, the metafictional pastiche of Calvino? For good or for ill, the blind Argentinian paved the way for a generation's worth of postmodern monkey business--and fiction will never be simply "fiction" again.
Its enormous influence on writers aside, Ficciones has also--perhaps more importantly--changed the way that we read. Borges's Pierre Menard, for instance, undertakes the most audacious project imaginable: to create not a contemporary version of Cervantes's most famous work but the Quixote itself, word for word. This second text is "verbally identical" to the original, yet, because of its new associations, "infinitely richer"; every time we read, he suggests, we are in effect creating an entirely new text, simply by viewing it through the distorting lens of history. "A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships," Borges once wrote in an essay about George Bernard Shaw. "All men who repeat one line of Shakespeare are William Shakespeare," he tells us in "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius." In this spirit, Borges is not above impersonating, even quoting, himself.
It is hard, exactly, to say what all of this means, at least in any of the usual ways. Borges wrote not with an ideological agenda, but with a kind of radical philosophical playfulness. Labyrinths, libraries, lotteries, doubles, dreams, mirrors, heresiarchs: these are the tokens with which he plays his ontological games. In the end, ideas themselves are less important to him than their aesthetic and imaginative possibilities. Like the idealist philosophers of Tlön, Borges does not "seek for the truth or even for verisimilitude, but rather for the astounding"; for him as for them, "metaphysics is a branch of fantastic literature." --Mary Park [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Pastoral Americana'Book summary:Seymour Levov, modelo a seguir por todos los muchachos judíos de New Jersey, gran atleta y mejor hijo, sólido heredero de la fábrica de guantes que su padre levantó desde la nada, ha rebasado la mitad del siglo XX sin conflictos que puedan estropear su dorada Arcadia, una vida placentera que comparte con su mujer Dawn, ex Miss New Jersey, y con su hija Meredith. Y es en este preciso momento,con su vida convertida en un eterno día de Acción de Gracias en el que todo el mundo come lo mismo, se comporta de la misma manera y carece de religión, cuando el Sueco Levov verá derrumabarse estrepitosamente todo lo que le rodea.
Pastoral americana es un relato lúcido que pone en tela de juicio los valores de la sociedad norteamericana y su capacidad de permanencia durante el conflicto final de los felices sesenta, con la intervención estadounidense en la guerra de Vietnam como telón de fondo.
"En la actual literatura norteamericana está Philip Roth y, después, todos los demás."

Y acompanado por una mas que atractiva especialista en la obra de Christabel, seguiran un rastro de poemas, diarios y cartas, y gradualmente poseidos por aquellos que buscaban poseer, reconstruiran una historia de pasiones alli donde nunca se supo que las hubiera.

Fortunately, Miss Marple arrives and unravels this tangled skein before too many of them get bumped off. Miss Jane Marple doesn't look like your average detective. Quite frankly, she doesn't look like a detective at all. But looks can be deceiving, for the mild-mannered spinster sleuth is as adept at solving murders that baffle Scotland Yard as she is at unravelling village secrets.

Una vez allí comprueban que la noticia del periódico era fidedigna, a la hora indicada se produce un asesinato.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Caddie Woodlawn'Book summary:At age 11, Caddie Woodlawn is the despair of her mother and the pride of her father: a clock-fixing tomboy running wild in the woods of Wisconsin. In 1864, this is a bit much for her Boston-bred mother to bear, but Caddie and her brothers are happy with the status quo. Written in 1935 about Carol Ryrie Brink's grandmother's childhood, the adventures of Caddie and her brothers are still exciting over 60 years later. With each chapter comes another ever-more exciting adventure: a midnight gallop on her horse across a frozen river to warn her American Indian friends of the white men's plan to attack; a prairie fire approaching the school house; and a letter from England that may change the family's life forever. This Newbery Medal-winning book bursts at the seams with Caddie's irrepressible spirit. In spite of her mother's misgivings, Caddie is a perfect role model for any girl--or boy, for that matter. She's big-hearted, she's brave, and she's mechanically inclined! (Ages 9 to 12) [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Discurso Del Metodo / the Speech Way'Book summary:El Discurso del metodo es uno de los pocos libros que han cambiado la historia del mundo; la renovacion que provoco en la filosofia no ha dejado de tener repercusiones. Las conclusiones a las que llega tras el aserto de la duda como razon principal de todo pensamiento se han convertido en reglas: no admitir como verdadero mas que lo evidente; dividir cada dificultad en la mayor parte posible de veces; ordenar los pensamientos de lo mas simple a lo mas complicado; y hacer recuentos frecuentes de las ideas para estar seguros de que nada se ha omitido, son las normas que rigen la conducta y la filosofia, a partir de entonces hasta la actualidad. A una esclarecedora Introduccion del filosofo argentino Francisco Romero se agrega, en esta nueva edicion del Discurso, Un punto de vista acerca de Descartes, del escritor frances Paul Valery, que cierra su contribucion con estas palabras: Por eso he insistido sobre la personalidad fuerte y temeraria del gran Descartes, cuya filosofia, tal vez, tiene menos precio para nosotros que la idea que nos presenta de un magnifico y memorable Yo. Rene Descartes, vastago de una familia distinguida y acomodada de magistrados y militares, nacio en l596 en La Haye, ciudad de Turena, Francia, y murio en Estocolmo en l650.

Pero de este padre emigrante, que murió en el frente durante la primera guerra mundial y que se había casado con una menorquina analfabeta y casi muda con la que apenas dispuso del tiempo necesario para tener dos hijos, poco se sabrá. Los pobres no tienen historia, o tan sólo aquella que les otorgan las guerras y las revoluciones. El verdadero primer hombre es el hijo : sin padre, educado en un miserable barrio periférico de Argel por una abuela autoritaria, que le inflige castigos corporales ante una madre impotente.

**Time Magazine's Best Nonfiction Book of the 20th Century**
In this masterpiece, Solzhenitsyn has orchestrated thousands of incidents and individual histories into one narrative of unflagging power and momentum. Written in a tone that encompasses Olympian wrath, bitter calm, savage irony, and sheer comedy, it combines history, autobiography, documentary, and political analysis as it examines in its totality the Soviet apparatus of repression from its inception following the October Revolution of 1917.
This second volume in Solzhenitsyn's narrative chronicles the appalling inhumanity of the Soviets' ''destructive-labor camps'' and the fate of prisoners in them--felling timber, building canals and railroads, and mining gold without equipment or adequate food and clothing, and subject always to the caprices of the camp authorities. Most tragic of all is the life of the women prisoners and the luckless children they bear.
Once again, this chronicle of appalling inhumanity is made endurable by the vitality and emotional range of the writing. In one truly remarkable chapter, a parody of an anthropological treatise, Solzhenitsyn achieves new heights of sardonic wit. In the final section the music changes, and he provides a magnificent coda on the possibilities of redemption and purification through suffering.

Ocupa su tiempo escribiendo cartas que nunca serán enviadas, a amigos y enemigos, a colegas y a gente famosa, revelando con ironía sus percepciones del mundo que lo rodea, así como los secretos más profundos de su alma.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'La Joven De La Perla/girl With a Pearl Earring'Book summary:La joven de la perla centers on Vermeer's prosperous Delft household during the 1660s. When Griet, the novel's quietly perceptive heroine, is hired as a servant, turmoil follows. First, the 16-year-old narrator becomes increasingly intimate with her master. Then Vermeer employs her as his assistant--and ultimately has Griet sit for him as a model. Chevalier vividly evokes the complex domestic tensions of the household, ruled over by the painter's jealous, eternally pregnant wife and his taciturn mother-in-law. At times the relationship between servant and master seems a little anachronistic. Still, La joven de la perla does contain a final delicious twist.
Blurb in Spanish:
En la segunda mitad del siglo XVII, el pintor holandés Johannes Vermeer inmortalizó en una tela a una bella muchacha adornada con un turbante y un pendiente de perla. Sus labios parecen esbozar una sonrisa sensual, pero sus ojos irradian la tristeza más profunda.Conocido como La Mona Lisa holandesa, detrás de ese enigmático rostro que esconde Griet, una joven de origen humilde que a los dieciséis años entra a trabajar como doncella en casa del artista a cambio de un mísero salario.Su extraordinaria sensibilidad y el cuidado que pone en todo lo que toca atraen al maestro, quien poco a poco la introduce en su mundo, un paraíso inundado por una luz mágica y poblado por criaturas femeninas de singular belleza. La joven de la perla es la historia de una fascinación, de cómo surge un sentimiento que se mueve entre la admiración y el amor. La luz en los ojos de Griet, la sirvienta convertida en musa, encierra el misterio más profundo en el proceso de creación de una obra de arte. Tracy Chevalier evoca la vida cotidiana en el siglo XVII holandés en esta hermosa novela sobre el despertar a la vida y al arte. [via]

Softcover, Alianza Editorial Sa
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Mahadevi Sancayita'Book summary:La primera publicación corresponde al año 1835 y contenía un total de 5.052 versos, congregados en 32 poemas. La reproducción final corresponde a 1849, cuando se publicó en toda su extensión actual de 23.000 versos y 50 poemas.
En su labor meticulosa de recopilación y recomposición, Elias Lönnrot logró acopiar versos provenientes de diferentes fuentes, tanto subjetivas como territoriales. Para ello recurrió a trovadores, narradores, o al examen de la tradición oral en diversas regiones de Finlandia, especialmente en la zona de Carelia.
Lönnrot, en su trabajo de recopilación, acopló y relacionó diferentes testimonios e historias para dotar a la obra de una mejor estructura narrativa. Al mismo tiempo disminuyó la cantidad de personajes y concentró los lugares donde se desarrollan los sucesos. De esta manera logró una mayor coherencia y concreción de esta obra cumbre de la mitología y folclore de Finlandia.
La leyenda, el mito y la evocación poética se enlazan perfectamente en el Kalevala, erigiendo un mundo habitado por héroes de carne y hueso, que oscilan entre lo humano, lo divino y lo esperpéntico. Por eso los actos de los personajes del Kalevala están plagados de extravagancias y deslices humanos. [via]More editions of Mahadevi Sancayita:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Por Que Leer Los Clasicos?'Book summary:Los clasicos son, para Italo Calvino (1923-1985), aquellos libros que nunca terminan de decir lo que tienen que decir, textos que «cuanto mas cree uno conocerlos de oidas, tanto mas nuevos, inesperados, ineditos resultan al leerlos de verdad». Y ese es el convencimiento que anima a Italo Calvino a comentar los «suyos», segun su criterio de que el clasico de cada uno «es aquel que no puede serte indiferente y que te sirve para definirte a ti mismo en relacion y quizas en contraste con el». Asi, mezclados en el tiempo y en la historia de la literatura universal, el lector descubre las lecturas de Italo Calvino.

› Find signed collectible books: 'La Vita'Book summary:Benvenuto Cellini, artista fiorentino vissuto tra il 1500 e il 1571, compose fra il 1558 e il 1565 un'autobiografia, rimasta inedita fino al 1728. L'opera può essere considerata la prima autobiografia moderna. La prima parte del racconto arriva fino al 1538, quando Cellini parte per Roma, descritta dall'artista come una città violenta, ingiusta. Castel Sant'Angelo, dove Cellini viene tenuto prigioniero nel 1538 (celebri le pagine sul suo rocambolesco tentativo di fuga) diviene il simbolo del potere che soggioga la città. La seconda parte si svolge alla corte di Francia, dove egli godé del favore di Francesco I. Giunge infine alla corte fiorentina, più piccola, ma anch'essa infestata di intrighi, invidie e gelosie. L'opera è anche uno dei primi esempi di prosa manierista, antiaccademica. [via]
