La gran novela de Eça de Queirós, cumbre de la literatura portuguesa, en una nueva traducción de Antonio Jiménez Morato…
Publicada en 1888, Los Maia es una saga familiar que refleja el ambiente y las costumbres de la burguesía lisboeta y la sociedad cambiante que la rodea. Retrato de tres generaciones que vienen a clausurar una gloriosa historia nobiliaria, la novela se centra en la pasión romántica del último de la familia, el joven médico Carlos da Maia, por la enigmática Maria Eduarda, pareja de un comerciante brasileño que se cruza azarosamente en su vida. La narración se adentra en la compleja psicología de personajes inolvidables, al tiempo que evoca con maestría la ciudad donde transcurre y examina la relación de la cultura portuguesa con la modernidad a la que aspira. No faltan las que fueron obsesiones del autor, como la fatalidad del incesto, la encarnación del deseo en la mujer y la debilidad masculina para resistirse a sus impulsos, aunque también figuran la nobleza de los mayores y el refugio de la amistad. Fresco de un fin de siglo conflictivo, el libro es sin duda la obra maestra de Eça de Queirós, y desde su publicación ha ido aumentando su prestigio en la literatura de Portugal, donde se lo considera su Quijote. Sobre el autor y su obra:«Si hubiese escrito en francés, pisaría las huellas de Madame Bovary. Aquí, sin embargo, los aficionados o los diletantes conocen mucho Flaubert, y a Eça poco o nada.»Emilia Pardo Bazón, Los Lunes de El Imparcial «Yo voy a concluir antes una novela de Eça de Queiroz que me tiene asustado. No creía yo que en Portugal se escribían novelas tan buenas.»Leopoldo Alas Clarín en Carta a Galdós, 24 junio de 1883 «He tenido un paraíso inesperado de lector volviendo por puro azar a las novelas de Eça de Queiroz, que me han gustado siempre tanto.»Antonio Muñoz Molina, El País

Una novela breve e intensa sobre el deseo femenino en el siglo XIX y las convenciones sociales que se interponían…
en su camino. Publicada en la estela de éxitos como Los pazos de Ulloa y La madre naturaleza, Insolación cuenta la relación que entablan en la madrileña feria de San Isidro Asís Taboada, una viuda de 32 años, y Diego Pacheco, un joven y apuesto gaditano. La historia comienza en retrospectiva, cuando la protagonista despierta con resaca y empieza a recordar los acontecimientos del día anterior; pero el fluir de su conciencia pronto se combina con el drama para abordar un amor que no ignora la ley del deseo. Considerada escabrosa en su momento, la obra recibió críticas moralizantes de sus contemporáneos. En la actualidad, sin embargo, se reivindican sus grandes cualidades literarias, así como la denuncia que hizo la autora del doble rasero aplicado a hombres y mujeres en materia de moral sexual. La crítica ha dicho:«Ha sido una revolución, ni más ni menos, lo que, a la chita callando ha hecho en el libro de que trato Emilia Pardo Bazán.»Luis Alfonso, La Época (1889) «No diré yo que, con pintar lo que pinta, sea libro para puesto en manos de muchachas que se preparen para la primera comunión; pero pueden leerlo muchos y muchas más de lo que acaso vaya a figurarse el lector pacato.»Juan Sardá, La España Moderna (1889) «No hay más remedio: el que trata materia pecaminosa, si no sabe elevarse a la región de la poesía, deja ver el pecado como pecado. El amor sensual, objeto de un libro, cuando no muestra una trascendencia artística, es... escandaloso en la rigurosa acepción de la palabra.»Leopoldo Alas Clarín (1890) «Pardo Bazán [...] fue una escritora capaz de pensar sobre la insania que produce el deseo reprimido en las mujeres y hablar abiertamente de ello.»Isabel Burdiel, Emilia Pardo Bazán (2019)

Una obra maestra sobre las complejas relaciones que pueden entablar la literatura y la vida privada A finales del siglo…
XIX, un crítico estadounidense llega a Venecia para conocer a Juliana Bordereau, la antigua amante del célebre poeta romántico Jeffrey Aspern, muerto décadas atrás. Según los rumores, en el palazzo medio derruido de la anciana se conservan valiosos documentos del poeta, y el estudioso está dispuesto a cualquier cosa, incluida la seducción de una desdichada sobrina, para apoderarse de ese «botín». Sin embargo, él mismo se verá envuelto en una trama de sospechas y deseos ocultos aversos a sus ambiciones. En esta novela maestra sobre la herencia, el fervor intelectual y los espectros del pasado, Henry James estudia como nunca antes las complejas relaciones entre la vida y el arte. La crítica ha dicho:«La historia avanza con el ritmo y la tensión de un cuento de misterio, y el doble desenlace [...] la convierte en un drama supremo.»Leon Edel «Los documentos de Aspern es una fábula genial. Invoca miedos y deseos tan antiguos como modernos, aunque especialmente modernos.»Adrian Poole

uplifting tale of young love and marriage.In 1927, in Brooklyn, New York, Carl Brown and Annie McGairy meet and fall in love. Though only eighteen, Annie travels alone halfway across the country to the Midwestern university where Carl is studying law—and there they marry.

With hardship and poverty weighing heavily upon them, they come to realize that their greatest sources of strength, loyalty, and love, will help them make it through. A moving and unforgettable story, Joy in the Morning is “a glad affirmation that love can accomplish the impossible.” (Chicago Tribune)

From Betty Smith, author of the beloved classic A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, comes a poignant story of love, marriage, poverty,…
and hope set in the Williamsburg and Bushwick sections of 1920s Brooklyn.Tomorrow Will Be Better tells the story of Margy Shannon, a shy but joyfully optimistic young woman just out of school who lives with her parents and witnesses how a lifetime of hard work, poverty, and pain has worn them down. Her mother's resentment toward being a housewife and her father's inability to express his emotions result in a tense home life where Margy has no voice. Unable to speak up against her overbearing mother, Margy takes refuge in her dreams of a better life. Her goals are simple—to find a husband, have children, and live in a nice home—one where her children will never know the terror of want or the need to hide from quarreling parents. When she meets Frankie Malone, she thinks her dreams might be fulfilled at last, but a devastating loss rattles her to her core and challenges her life-long optimism. As she struggles to come to terms with the unexpected path her life has taken, Margy must decide whether to accept things as they are or move firmly in the direction of what she truly wants. Rich with the flavor of its Brooklyn background, and filled with the joys and heartbreak of family life, Tomorrow Will Be Better is told with a simplicity, tenderness, and warmhearted humor that only Betty Smith could write.

A haunting examination of groupthink and mass hysteria in a rural community The place is Salem, Massachusetts, in 1692, an…
enclave of rigid piety huddled on the edge of a wilderness. Its inhabitants believe unquestioningly in their own sanctity. But in Arthur Miller's edgy masterpiece, that very belief will have poisonous consequences when a vengeful teenager accuses a rival of witchcraft--and then when those accusations multiply to consume the entire village.First produced in 1953, at a time when America was convulsed by a new epidemic of witch-hunting, The Crucible brilliantly explores the threshold between individual guilt and mass hysteria, personal spite and collective evil. It is a play that is not only relentlessly suspenseful and vastly moving but that compels readers to fathom their hearts and consciences in ways that only the greatest theater ever can."A drama of emotional power and impact" --New York Postst hysteria inspired by Senator Joseph McCarthy's "witch-hunts" in the United States. Within the text itself, Miller contemplates the parallels, writing: "Political opposition...is given an inhumane overlay, which then justifies the abrogation of all normally applied customs of civilized behavior. A political policy is equated with moral right, and opposition to it with diabolical malevolence." For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,500 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

A fresh and faithful translation of Vergil&’s Aeneid restores the epic&’s spare language and fast pace and sheds new light…
on one of the cornerstone narratives of Western culture.&“The best version of the Aeneid in modern English: concise, readable and beautiful, but also as accurate and faithful to Vergil&’s Latin as possible.&”—James J. O&’Hara, George L. Paddison Professor of Latin, University of North Carolina at Chapel HillFor two thousand years, the epic tale of Aeneas&’s dramatic flight from Troy, his doomed love affair with Dido, his descent into the underworld, and the bloody story behind the establishment of Rome has electrified audiences around the world. In Vergil&’s telling, Aeneas&’s heroic journey not only gave Romans and Italians a thrilling origin story, it established many of the fundamental themes of Western life and literature—the role of duty and self-sacrifice, the place of love and passion in human life, the relationship between art and violence, the tension between immigrant and indigenous people, and the way new foundations are so often built upon the wreckage of those who came before. Throughout the course of Western history, the Aeneid has affirmed our best and worst intentions and forced us to confront our deepest contradictions.Shadi Bartsch, Guggenheim Laureate, award-winning translator, and chaired professor at the University of Chicago, confronts the contradictions inherent in the text itself, illuminating the epic&’s subversive approach to storytelling. Even as Vergil writes the foundation myth for Rome, he seems to comment on this tendency to mythologize our heroes and societies, and to gesture to the stories that get lost in the mythmaking. Bartsch&’s groundbreaking translation, brilliantly maintaining the brisk pace of Vergil&’s Latin even as it offers readers a metrical line-by-line translation, provides a literary and historical context to make the Aeneid resonant for a new generation of readers.
