Introducción de George Gibian, profesor de la Universidad de Cornell Traducción de Irene y Laura Andresco La historia de Anna Karénina, junto a la de Madame Bovary, es la del adulterio más célebre de la literatura. El enamoramiento de la protagonista, casada con el alto funcionario Karénin, por el atractivo militar Vronski y el estrepitoso romance que con él vive son el eje de una novela que es mucho más que la pulida tragedia de una caída en desgracia: es un esmerado y delicado retrato de todo un tiempo y un lugar, la vivisección de una sociedad en la que la felicidad de algunos convive con la desdicha de otros. El presente volumen se abre con la espléndida introducción del que fuera catedrático en la Universidad de Cornell y estudioso de la literatura eslava, George Gibian. A ella la sigue la cabal y aclamada traducción realizada por las hermanas Irene y Laura Andresco. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Introduction by George Gibian, Cornell University professor. Anna Karenina is a novel of unparalleled richness and complexity, set against the backdrop of Russian high society. Tolstoy charts the course of the doomed love affair between Anna, a beautiful married woman, and Count Vronsky, a wealthy army officer who pursues Anna after becoming infatuated with her at a ball. Although she initially resists his charms Anna eventually succumbs, falling passionately in love and setting in motion a chain of events that lead to her downfall. This classic is one of the most loved and memorable heroines of literature. Her overwhelming charm dominates a novel of unparalleled richness and density. Tolstoy considered this book to be his first real attempt at a novel form, and it addresses the very nature of society at all levels, - of destiny, death, human relationships and the irreconcilable contradictions of existence. It ends tragically, and there is much that evokes despair, yet set beside this is an abounding joy in life's many ephemeral pleasures, and a profusion of comic relief. In this extraordinary novel Tolstoy seamlessly weaves together the lives of dozens of characters, while evoking a love so strong that those who experience it are prepared to die for it. This edition opens with a magnificent introduction by former Cornell University professor and scholar of Slavic literature, George Gibian. It is followed by the methodical and acclaimed translation by sisters Irene and Laura Andresco.

La obra de Wells ha influido largamente a la tradición literaria de la ciencia ficción. La guerra de los mundos narra por primera vez en la historia de la literatura un tema que será recurrente desde entonces y originará todo un subgénero dentro de la ciencia ficción: la invasión de la Tierra por extraterrestres procedentes de Marte. A través de esta fábula en la que ocupan un lugar central las descripciones científicas, las premoniciones sobre el futuro de la tecnología y los entresijos de la política, H. G. Wells nos habla sobre la vanidad y la seguridad ficticia de una humanidad autosatisfecha, y los peligros que acechan su supervivencia.Su presencia ineludible se descubre así en el imaginario de autores consagrados del género como Félix J. Palma, que firma la introducción que abre la presente edición. Asimismo, recuperamos la clásica traducción que en su día hizo Julio Vacarezza y de la que han disfrutado generaciones enteras.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe War of the Worlds is a science fiction novel by English author H. G. Wells. It first appeared in serialized form in 1897, published simultaneously in Pearson's Magazine in the UK and Cosmopolitan magazine in the US. The first appearance in book form was published by William Heinemann of London in 1898. It is the first-person narrative of an unnamed protagonist in Surrey and that of his younger brother in London as Earth is invaded by Martians. Written between 1895 and 1897, it is one of the earliest stories that detail a conflict between mankind and an extraterrestrial race. The novel is one of the most commented-on works in the science fiction canon.The War of the Worlds has two parts, Book One: The Coming of the Martians and Book Two: The Earth under the Martians. The narrator, a philosophically inclined author, struggles to return to his wife while seeing the Martians lay waste to the southern country outside London. Book One also imparts the experience of his brother, also unnamed, who describes events as they deteriorate in the capital, forcing him to escape the Martian onslaught by boarding a paddle steamer near Tillingham, on the Essex coast.The plot has been related to invasion literature of the time. The novel has been variously interpreted as a commentary on evolutionary theory, British Imperialism, and generally Victorian superstitions, fears and prejudices. At the time of publication it was classified as a scientific romance, like his earlier novel The Time Machine. The War of the Worlds has been both popular (having never gone out of print) and influential, spawning half a dozen feature films, radio dramas, a record album, various comic book adaptations, a television series, and sequels or parallel stories by other authors. It has even influenced the work of scientists, notably Robert Hutchings Goddard.

El Corán es el libro sagrado del Islam. Durante la vida del profeta Mahoma, las "revelaciones" eran transmitidas oralmente o escritas en hojas de palmeras, trozos de cuero o huesos, etc. A la muerte del profeta, en 632, sus seguidores comenzaron a reunir estas "revelaciones", que durante el Califato de Utman ibn Affan tomaron la forma que hoy conocemos, 114 capítulos (azoras), cada uno dividido en versículos (aleyas).El Corán toma muchos personajes que aparecen en los libros sagrados del judaísmo y el cristianismo (Tanaj y Biblia) y en la literatura devota (por ejemplo, los libros apócrifos), con muchas diferencias en detalle. Personajes del mundo hebreo y cristiano muy conocidos como Adán, Noé, Abraham, Moisés, Jesús de Nazaret y Juan Bautista aparecen mencionados como profetas islámicos.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe Qur'an, believed by Muslims to be the word of God, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad 1400 years ago.
