Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Anna Karenina is a novel by the Russian author Leo Tolstoy, first published in book form in 1878. Widely considered to be one of the greatest works of literature ever written, Tolstoy himself called it his first true novel.

A complex novel in eight parts, with more than a dozen major characters, Anna Karenina is spread over more than 800 pages (depending on the translation and publisher), typically contained in two volumes.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The Merry Wives of Windsor or Sir John Falstaff and the Merry Wives of Windsor is a comedy by William Shakespeare first published in 1602, though believed to have been written in or before 1597. The Windsor of the play's title is a reference to the town of Windsor, also the location of Windsor Castle, in Berkshire, England. Though nominally set in the reign of Henry IV or early in the reign of Henry V, the play makes no pretence to exist outside contemporary Elizabethan era English middle class life. It features the character Sir John Falstaff, the fat knight who had previously been featured in Henry IV, Part 1 and Part 2. It has been adapted for the opera at least ten times.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Para Anne Carson, "si la prosa es una casa, la poesia es alguien en llamas corriendo a traves de ella". Carlos Augusto Alfonso, en Todas las guerras, le prende fuego a la casa de la poesia en lengua castellana. Versos (fugas versales) en constante suspension, inacabamiento ruidoso, quiebre sonoro; resonancias que dislocan y troquelan la sintaxis, que violentan la lengua (decir popular y saber culto en constante enroque) para lograr nuevas unidades de sentido que ya no son meramente lingueisticas, sino prosodicas, ya que no pertenecen a otro relato que a si mismas. Poemas que, sostenidos en un humor mordaz, guian a Ninguna Parte, (nos) lanzan a tierra de Nadie, como a Ulises, que parece habitar, incendiar, regresar de ese "Laberinto Ruso que llaman Ciudad Troya".

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. "His Last Bow: An Epilogue of Sherlock Holmes", is one of 56 short stories about Sherlock Holmes written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It was first published in September 1917 in The Strand Magazine and collected as the last of an anthology of eight stories titled His Last Bow: Some Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes the following month. The narration is in the third person, instead of the first person narration usually provided by the character of Dr. Watson, and it is a spy story, rather than a detective mystery. Due to its portrayal of British and German spies on the eve of war, its publication during the First World War and its patriotic themes, the story has been interpreted as a propaganda tool intended to boost morale for British readers.
