POWIEŚĆ O DOJRZEWANIU, BEZRADNOŚCI I ROZPACZY. Jakie tajemnice skrywa stary domek letniskowy? Mieszka w nim Sara, młoda, samotna kobieta. Od siedmiu lat niemal codziennie wkłada znoszone buty i przemierza wielokilometrową trasę w poszukiwaniu grzybów. W ten sposób zarabia na życie i... utrzymuje więź z przeszłością. Wiadomość o śmierci matki przywołuje wspomnienia i wnosi do życia Sary szereg zmian. Bolesne sekrety skrywane od lat powracają i nie pozwalają już o sobie zapomnieć. Istnieje tylko jeden sposób, by wreszcie od nich uciec.

Aquiles, el más veloz de los hombres, se ha retirado de la contienda tras un disgusto con el rey Agamenón. Este es el inicio de uno de los episodios más conocidos de la Guerra de Troya, en el que la ira de Aquiles tendrá consecuencias terribles para ambos bandos durante los 51 días que duran estos cantos, mientras que los dioses conspiran y luchan a la par de sus favoritos. Este gran poema épico atribuido a Homero es el inicio de la literatura universal, cuyos personajes y eventos se han vuelto arquetipos esenciales en nuestra cultura.

Lejos de Roma trata sobre el exilio del poeta romano Ovidio. Se acude a la historia pero no se agota en ella. Está atravesada de erudición, erotismo y poesía.

I Love Hearing Your Dreams is a book of reveries, of failed elegies, of “the last time that things were real” and the moments that come afterward. These are dream songs for an age of insomnia, where the poet is always awake “at that oddest hour / that does not end, / the crooked, unnumbered one” and the future seems to be “just the past in a suit / that will never be in style.” Yet dreams in Matthew Zapruder’s poems are also a place of possibility, of reality envisioned anew—sleep shows us not merely what the world is, but what it could be.

Keats commenced writing his epic poem, Hyperion, in 1818 and ceased working on it in the spring of 1819. He said that he gave the project up for having "too many Miltonic inversions."

The narrative is based on the Titanomachia, or War of the Titans, and describes the aftermath of their fall to the Olympian Gods.

The Sikh religion was founded by Guru Nanak (1469-1539), who drew upon the teachings of Muslim, Sufis, and Hindu Bhaktas. In its purest form Sikhism is about unity, simplicity, equality, and surrender (to God) and the verses of the Sikh Gurus - most of them included in the Granth Sahib - articulate this beautifully. This elegant edition contains a selection of verses from the Guru Granth Sahib and other sacred texts like Guru Tegh Bahadur’s Vairagmayi Bani and the Dasam Granth of Guru Gobind Singh.
