Frederick Charles Copleston se convirtió al catolicismo romano mientras asistía al Marlborough College. Fue el autor de la influyente obra Historia de la filosofía, publicada en once volúmenes.En la filosofía griega asistimos al (More) planteamiento inicial de problemas que aún conservan toda su relevancia para nosotros. Representa un punto de arranque que sigue siendo el de referencia obligada para todo el pensamiento occidental hasta la fecha. Roma fue el primer eslabón que, aunque parezca pobre en comparación con la filosofía de los griegos, abrió ríos caudalosos que luego han ido elaborando y profundizando sus aguas generación tras generación.

¿Quién se ha llevado mi queso? Una manera sorprendente de afrontar el cambio en el trabajo y en la vida privada, publicado en 1998, es un libro de motivación escrito por Spencer Johnson en el estilo de una parábola. Describe el (More) cambio en el trabajo y la vida, y cuatro típicas reacciones al citado cambio con dos ratones, dos “liliputienses”, y sus búsquedas de queso.

In the international bestseller, Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman, the renowned psychologist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, takes us on a groundbreaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive (More) the way we think. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. The impact of overconfidence on corporate strategies, the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning our next vacation―each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems shape our judgments and decisions.
Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, Kahneman reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking. He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and our personal lives―and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble. Winner of the National Academy of Sciences Best Book Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and selected by The New York Times Book Review as one of the ten best books of 2011, Thinking, Fast and Slow ebook is destined to be a classic.

Explores the “covenant love” God reveals to us through the Scriptures and explains how God patiently reaches out to us to restore us into a relationship with his divine family, in a book that follows the high adventure of God’s (More) plan for the ages, beginning with Adam and Eve and continuing down through the generations to the coming of Christ and the birth of the Church.

Don Chisciotte viene universalmente considerato il primo romanzo moderno. Una satira brillante che racconta le avventure – e le disavventure – di don Chisciotte, anziano gentiluomo di campagna, e Sancio Pancia, contadino e (More) scudiero. Il capolavoro di Cervantes ha riscosso un successo enorme, è stato tradotto in tutte le lingue moderne ed è stato stampato in centinaia di edizioni diverse. Dal Don Chisciotte sono stati tratti film, poemi sinfonici, opere teatrali e, recentemente, anche CDROM e siti Internet. Questa edizione si distingue per la qualità della traduzione, curata da Alfredo Giannini. Nota: gli e-book editi da E-text in collaborazione con Liber Liber sono tutti privi di DRM; si possono quindi leggere su qualsiasi lettore di e-book, si possono copiare su più dispositivi e, volendo, si possono anche modificare.

”War and Peace” is a panoramic novel: It is its own justification, and perhaps needs no introduction. It always reminds the translator of a broad and mighty river flowing onward with all the majesty of Fate. On its surface, float (More) swiftly by logs and stumps, cakes of ice, perhaps drowned cattle or men from regions far above. These floating straws, insignificant in themselves, tell the current. Once embark upon it, and it is impossible to escape the onward force that moves you so relentlessly. What landscapes you pass through, what populous towns, what gruesome defiles, what rapids, what cataracts! The water may be turbid, or it may flow translucent and pure, – but still it rushes on. Such to me is “War and Peace.”
“War and Peace,” like all of Count Tolstoi’s works, is a mighty protest against war. There is no arguing in it about the waste, and the demoralization, and the cruelty, and the unmanliness of it, but, like all Russian argument, it is by vivid pictures such as no one can resist.
The present translation has been made from the original Russian. Tolstoi has been felicitously called “the Russian Rembrandt.” It is not fair to reproduce Rembrandt as a Teniers. One may be sometimes tempted to substitute the curved line of beauty for the straight line of duty, or soften a harsh silhouette, but beyond certain unavoidable issues of the sort necessary for reproducing the impression given by the original, the translator ought to be as faithful as possible. Here the old law of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, repudiated by Count Tolstoi, ought to have a new application.

We are proud to release an electronic edition of the New American Bible: Revised Edition (NABRE), which features an excellent formatting true to the paper edition and multiple navigation aids, which allow opening any verse in the (More) Bible in seconds (as explained in detail in the book itself; this feature is not supported by Kindle Fire). Note however that Kindle Fire does not support some of the navigation aids. All material, including footnotes, is preserved and crossreferenced within the text. This is the one electronic Bible that every believer must have because it is more convenient and faster to use than the paper edition.
The NABRE accomplishes three major goals in Biblical scholarship: First, a more accurate translation aided by modern archeological and historical discoveries; second, a more consistent rendering of the Greek and Hebrew to more closely express the meaning of the original text; and third, revisions in the NABRE reflect changes in modern English usage of particular words.

Esta novela es fundadora del género que se dio a conocer como tremendismo, el cual entronca con la tradición realista española: la picaresca, el naturalismo del siglo XIX y la novela social de los años treinta. Es un punto de (More) encuentro de estilos que surgen en la España de posguerra, dentro de los que podemos destacar el existencialismo y el extremo realismo. Los personajes viven en un ambiente de marginación, sumidos en la incultura, el dolor y la angustia; esto hace que las historias giren en torno a lo grotesco o repulsivo buscando con ello impactar al lector. Puede por tanto decirse que el tremendismo es un tipo de crítica social.
El arquetipo de estos personajes es el protagonista de esta novela: Pascual Duarte, habitante de la Extremadura rural que carece de toda habilidad social y que solo conoce la violencia como único recurso para solucionar los problemas que se le van planteando en la vida. Por esto, la historia tiene un argumento truculento, sórdido, abundante en escenas de violencia.
La novela tiene varios narradores, entre ellos el principal es el propio protagonista, Pascual Duarte, quien cuenta la historia de su vida con un lenguaje que evoca el habla rural, y que recurre a menudo a comparaciones con la naturaleza y frecuentemente al uso del refranero español cuando no encuentra palabras para expresar lo que siente o piensa.

Entre visillos se desarrolla en una ciudad de provincias durante los años cincuenta. A través de las conversaciones entre varias mujeres, Martín Gaite, una de las voces más importantes de la llamada generación de la posguerra, (More) retrata las actitudes conservadoras y de hipocresía imperantes en aquella época, cuando se vivía todo de puertas para dentro. Una existencia rutinaria imprime un tempo lento a esos eternos días grises, faltos de imaginación.
La escritora, que recibió por esta obra el Premio Nadal en 1957, denuncia la situación femenina con claro inconformismo e ironía pero, a la vez, con ternura y cierta nostalgia.

Edith Wharton firma una nouvelle magistral, que explota la que fuera una de sus obsesiones recurrentes: las opciones de la mujer de su tiempo y estatus en la tramoya social que la coarta. En 1850 la alta burguesía neoyorquina (More) disfruta de una desentendida prosperidad. Delia, «reina» del endogámico clan de los Ralston, ultima los detalles de su vestuario para brillar en el acontecimiento social del año: el enlace de su prima Charlotte Lovell con Joe Ralston, que además sellará una alianza entre las dos familias hegemónicas de Nueva York. Cuando nada parece poder desbaratar tan idílico porvenir, una desquiciada Charlotte irrumpe en casa de Delia para desvelarle un secreto que alterará para siempre la placidez de sus vidas y que, de saberse, tumbaría los códigos éticos de los que ambas se han venido nutriendo. Los destinos de Charlotte y Delia quedan trágicamente atados bajo la inviolabilidad del secreto que comparten, consolidándose entre ambas una tormentosa relación en la que convergerán los celos, la compasión, el amor filial y la suspicacia.
