A classic of early literary modernism, Lord Jim tells the story of a young “simple and sensitive character” who loses his honor in a display of cowardice at sea — and of his expiation of that sin against his own “shadowy ideal of (More) conduct” on the remote island of Patusan. The novel, written by Conrad for magazine serialization during an intense and chaotic ten months in 1899 and 1900, has, in the words of Thomas C. Moser, “the rare distinction of being a masterpiece in two separate genres. It is at once an exotic adventure story of the Eastern seas in the popular tradition of Kipling and Stevenson and a complexly wrought ‘art novel’ in the tradition of Flaubert and James.

L’aspro realismo della vita quotidiana si fonde, nel capolavoro di Emily Brontë, con suggestioni simboliche inquietanti e spunti di eccezionale intensità emotiva. Lo sfondo del romanzo è la solitaria brughiera dello Yorkshire; in (More) primo piano due famiglie, che esprimono gli opposti mondi della passione distruttiva e del timido conformismo. La storia, appassionata e crudele, porta alla luce alcuni dei misteri e delle contraddizioni nascosti nelle profondità del cuore umano e svela, a una lettura d’impostazione psicoanalitica, intuizioni di sorprendente valore. Non meno straordinario è il modo in cui l’autrice fa rivivere temi e atmosfere del romanzo “gotico” e sovrannaturale

Ed Kennedy es un chico cualquiera en un suburbio cualquiera de una gran ciudad. Vive en un apartamento maltrecho en compañía de su perro y se gana la vida como taxista. Le acompaña una pandilla de amigos, con quien juega a las (More) cartas y charla, sin prestar verdadera atención a sus problemas. Hasta que un buen día Ed, casi por casualidad, consigue evitar un robo en un banco, y a partir de entonces empieza a recibir unas cartas de juego que contienen mensajes cifrados.

Camino, fruto de la labor sacerdotal que san Josemaría Escrivá había iniciado en 1925, aparece por primera vez en 1934 (en Cuenca, España) con el título de “Consideraciones Espirituales”. En la edición siguiente -realizada en (More) Valencia en 1939-, el libro, notablemente ampliado, recibe ya su título definitivo. Desde entonces se ha difundido con un ritmo sostenido y progresivo. Actualmente, se han publicado de Camino cerca de 4.500.000 ejemplares en 43 idiomas.
Camino tiene un estilo directo, de diálogo sereno, en el que el lector se encuentra frente a las exigencias divinas en un ambiente de confianza y amistad. Cuando se publicó en Italia, L’Osservatore Romano comentó: “Mons. Escrivá de Balaguer ha escrito más que una obra maestra, ha escrito inspirándose directamente en el corazón, y al corazón llegan directamente, uno a uno, los párrafos que forman Camino.”

Born in the Marshalsea Prison for Debtors, Amy—Little Dorrit—the daughter of the ruined, but self-respectful William Dorrit, has put her entire heart in caring for her dear father, until one day her humble path is crossed by (More) Arthur Clennam. Their meeting proves providential not only for Amy’s life, but for the whole Dorrit family, whose new rise will, in many ways, be also their fall. As in all his novels, in Little Dorrit Dickens ushers us into a fascinating and startlingly rich world of human characters and destinies, where virtue and nobility cross swords with vice and villainy, where strength and weakness intertwine with prejudice and magnanimity and where the author’s inspired pen wields a compelling and unforgettable power over the readers.

The book is about three families in England at the beginning of the twentieth century. The three families represent different gradations of the Edwardian middle class: the Wilcoxes, who are rich capitalists with a fortune made in (More) the Colonies; the half-German Schlegel siblings (Margaret, Tibby, and Helen), who represent the intellectual bourgeoisie and have a lot in common with the real-life Bloomsbury Group; and the Basts, a couple who are struggling members of the lower-middle class. The Schlegel sisters try to help the poor Basts and try to make the Wilcoxes less prejudiced.
