Los mejores libros jamás escritos Edición de la Academia Soviética de Ciencias Obra cumbre de Lev Tolstói (junto a Anna…
Karénina) y de la narrativa del XIX, Guerra y paz constituye un vasto fresco histórico y épico. Con la campaña napoleónica -Austerlitz, Borodinó o el incendio de Moscú- como trasfondo, se narra la historia de dos familias de la nobleza rusa, los Bolkonski y los Rostov, protagonistas de un mundo que empieza a escenificar su propia desaparición. Hasta hace pocos años, todas las traducciones de Guerra y paz se basaban en la edición canónica de 1873. Sin embargo, en 1983, la Academia Soviética de Ciencias publicó lo que ellos llamaron la «edición original», es decir, la primera versión que Tolstói escribió en 1866. Es la espléndida traducción de ese manuscrito original, de la mano de Gala Arias Rubio, la que publicamos en estevolumen. «¿Es que se puede estar en paz en los tiempos que corren, cuando se tiene algo de sensibilidad?»Walden: Selections from the American Classic (Shambhala Library)

Selections from one of the great classics of literature--now part of the Shambhala Pocket Library.In July 1845, Henry David Thoreau…
built a small cottage in the woods near Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts, and began to write Walden, a chronicle of his communion with nature. Since its first publication in 1854, the work has become a classic, beloved for its message of living simply and in harmony with nature. This abridged edition of Walden features exquisite wood engravings by Michael McCurdy and a foreword by noted author and environmentalist Terry Tempest Williams, who reflects upon Thoreau’s message that as we explore our world and ourselves, we draw closer to the truth of our connectedness.This book is part of the Shambhala Pocket Library series.The Shambhala Pocket Library is a collection of short, portable teachings from notable figures across religious traditions and classic texts.
