Ivanhoe è un romanzo storico di Sir Walter Scott ambientato in Inghilterra intorno al 1194. Il romanzo è considerato dagli studiosi come il primo vero esempio di genere storico.
Le vicende narrate si proiettano sullo sfondo della (More) contrapposizione tra Sassoni e Normanni, vinti e vincitori separati anche dall’uso di due lingue diverse, destinate solo in seguito a fondersi nell’inglese. Wilfred di Ivanhoe, il protagonista, è un sassone, figlio di Cedric, un acceso patriota, al limite del fanatismo, che ha giurato di non fare più di tre passi incontro ad un ospite che si presentasse alla sua porta, a meno che non si trattasse di un discendente dei re sassoni di un tempo.

The colonists, however, (More) were convinced by their strict Calvinist faith that they were among God’s “Elect,” chosen to rule over the continent. Their saga—bloody, ferocious, and fervent—would culminate three centuries later in one of the greatest tragedies of history: the establishment of a racist regime in which a white minority would subjugate and victimize millions of blacks. Called apartheid, it was a poisonous system that would only end with the liberation from prison of one of the moral giants of our time, Nelson Mandela.A Rainbow in the Night is Dominique Lapierre’s epic account of South Africa’s tragic history and the heroic men and women—famous and obscure, white and black, European and African—who have, with their blood and tears, brought to life the country that is today known as the Rainbow Nation.

«El alcalde de Zalamea» es una de las obras más populares de Calderón de la Barca y contiene todos los grandes ingredientes de la literatura universal: venganza, pasión, crimen, honor, orgullo, justicia, lucha de clases… Esta (More) universalidad unida a la maestría en la dramatización es lo que hace de esta obra publicada en 1651 (escrita, presumiblemente, en 1636) un clásico imprescindible, un texto sorprendentemente actual pese a haber sido escrito hace ya casi cuatro siglos.

Obra cuyo argumento se crea mediante los desvíos rutinarios y las travesuras mentales del narrador. Es el recuento de una larga y tortuosa serie de sucesos que pasaron al narrador mientras hacía un mandado un día normal en Madrid.

Tom Sawyer, Detective is an 1896 novel by Mark Twain. It is a sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), and Tom Sawyer Abroad (1894). Tom Sawyer attempts to solve a mysterious murder in (More) this burlesque of the immensely popular detective novels of the time.

Un estudiante que huye de la justicia, don Cleofás, entra en una buhardilla de un astrólogo y allí libera a un diablo encerrado en una redoma, quien en agradecimiento, levanta los tejados de Madrid y le enseña todas las miserias, (More) trapacerías y engaños de sus habitantes. El Diablo Cojuelo es un diablo que, lejos de ser una forma maligna, se le representa como «el espíritu más travieso del infierno», trayendo de cabeza a sus propios congéneres demoníacos. Se dice así mismo como inventor de danzas, música y literatura de carácter picaresco y satírico. Siendo uno de los primeros ángeles en levantarse en celestial rebelión, fue el primero en caer a los infiernos, aterrizando el resto de sus «hermanos» sobre él, dejándole «estropeado» y «más que todos señalado de la mano de Dios». De ahí viene su sobrenombre de «Cojuelo». Pero no por cojo es menos veloz y ágil.

Michael was in a hurry. He was scrambling up the ladder at Drake & Sweeney, a giant D.C. law firm with eight hundred lawyers. The money was good and getting better; a partnership was three years away. He was a rising star with (More) no time to waste, no time to stop, no time to toss a few coins into the cups of panhandlers. No time for a conscience. But a violent encounter with a homeless man stopped him cold. Michael survived; his assailant did not. Who was this man? Michael did some digging, and learned that he was a mentally ill veteran who’d been in and out of shelters for many years. Then Michael dug a little deeper, and found a dirty secret, and the secret involved Drake & Sweeney. The fast track derailed; the ladder collapsed. Michael bolted the firm and took a top-secret file with him. He landed in the streets, an advocate for the homeless, a street lawyer. And a thief.
