Story
La Divina Commedia, originalmente Commedìa, è un poema di Dante Alighieri, capolavoro del poeta fiorentino, considerata la più importante testimonianza letteraria della civiltà medievale e una delle più grandi opere della letteratura universale. È diviso in tre parti chiamate cantiche: Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso; il poeta immagina di compiervi un viaggio ultraterreno Il poema, pur continuando i modi caratteristici della letteratura e dello stile medievali (ispirazione religiosa, fine morale, linguaggio e stile basati sulla percezione visiva e immediata delle cose), tende a una ...

Story
Miguel de Unamuno y Jugo (1864 - 1936) fue un escritor y filósofo español de la generación del 98. Cultivó una gran variedad de géneros literarios como novela, ensayo, teatro y poesía.

Unamuno trata los mismos temas que desarrollaba en sus ensayos y novelas: su angustia espiritual, el conflicto religioso, el paso del tiempo, la muerte, la patria y, también, incidentes de la vida cotidiana. ...

Story
Few things, even in literature, can really be said to be unique — but Moby Dick is truly unlike anything written before or since. The novel is nominally about the obsessive hunt by the crazed Captain Ahab of the book’s eponymous white whale. But interspersed in that story are digressions, paradoxes, philosophical riffs on whaling and life, and a display of techniques so advanced for its time that some have referred to the 1851 Moby Dick as the first “modern” novel. (Summary by Stewart Wills)

A la mitad del viaje de nuestra vida, me encontré en una selva oscura por haberme apartado del camino recto. ¡Ah! ¡Cuan penoso me sería decir lo salvaje, áspera y espesa que era esta selva, cuyo recuerdo renueva mi temor! Era tan triste que la muerte no lo es tanto. Pero para hablar del bien que alli encontré, revelaré las demás cosas que he visto... (del Canto primero del infierno). Manuel Aranda y Sanjuan (1845-1900) ha sido un prolífico traductor de obras técnicas, pero también literarias. Entre estas últimas se cuentan Orlando furioso, de Lodovico Ariosto, y La comedia humana, ...

En el presente libro se tienen poemas fueron escritos a los largo de la vida del autor, sobre distinta temática. En casi todos ellos existe una pincelada de pensamientos casi filosóficos. Es interesante ver que incluso en algunos se ha consignado la fecha en que fue escrito el poema, existiendo uno que data de su fecha como estudiante y otro incluso que fuera escrito en durante un viaje de tren. Una lectura corta para acercarnos a los pensamientos del autor. Resumen de KendalRigans.

Story
En "El crimen de Lord Arthur Saville" se nos revela el Wilde en estado puro, el observador más irónico y despiadado de una sociedad decadente y egoísta. Una historia excepcionalmente elaborada que, con un estilo exquisito, indaga en los profundos recovecos de la culpa y el deseo, obsesiones recurrentes en toda la obra del genial escritor dublinés. Oscar Wilde consigue con su amargo humor y una sutil ironía que el crudo retrato de una clase social aristocrática, con sus vicios y defectos, se disfrace de comedia ligera, haciendo de esta novela breve una ficción deliciosa e imprescindible....

Si potrebbe chiamare un romanzo epistolare: è un misto di pagine di diario e di lettere che il protagonista, Rinaldo Morelli, un estimatore del poeta latino Orazio, scrive durante un'estate a Corsenna, un ameno paesello toscano in collina, frequentato da diversi villeggianti dai quali il nostro cerca di tenersi bene alla larga. Ma saranno loro ad andare in cerca di lui e a riempire la pagine dei suoi scritti... soprattutto una certa Galatea. (Summary by Riccardo Fasol)

Luís Vaz de Camões é frequentemente considerado como o maior poeta de língua portuguesa e dos maiores da Humanidade. O seu gênio é comparável ao de Virgílio, Dante, Cervantes ou Shakespeare. A obra lírica de Camões foi publicada como "Rimas", não havendo acordo entre os diferentes editores quanto ao número de sonetos escritos pelo poeta e quanto à autoria de algumas das peças líricas. Alguns dos seus sonetos, como o conhecido "Amor é fogo que arde sem se ver", pela ousada utilização dos paradoxos, prenunciam o Barroco. Nesta coleção, apresentamos uma recolha de Sonetos de ...

Story
Le Rime (in English, The Rhymes) are the collection of lyric poems written by Dante Alighieri throughout his life. While the rest of Dante's works were prepared by himself for publication, these poems were written by him in letters, as parts of other works or independently, but only collected and ordered much later, by modern critics. Among these is found the famous collection of Rime Petrose, a cycle of poems dedicated to a woman nicknamed Pietra (Stone) due to her insensibility to the poet's love. As the work of a whole life, the poems are varied, and mirror the many different moments of ...
