Alles begann mit einem Maskenball in Paris. Ein ausgelassener Maskenball. Und einem Mann der sich dieser sinnlosen Feier entziehen wollte. Dann ist da diese Frau, die unbedingt auf den Ball muss. Weshalb? Keinesfalls um sich ins Vergnügen zu stürzen.Mit dieser Kurzgeschichte zeigte Dumas, dass sich die Probleme zwischen Mann und Frau wahrscheinlich nie ändern werden. Oder vielleicht doch?

Nos muestra, desde dentro, la vida cotidiana al interior de una unidad militar anclada en el norte de Chile, en pleno desierto. Especialmente, lo que es la cotidianeidad de los conscriptos y sus instructores: los ejercicios de entrenamiento, los chascarros y bromas, los castigos, los controles en caminos; y, los accidentes, muchas veces con resultados fatales tanto para uniformados como civiles.

A lo largo de Gusanos, Eusebio Ruvalcaba nos lleva a nuestro interior, a la odisea humana, que nos lacera, nos envuelve, nos fascina y desdeña día a día. Hace un delicado y rudo examen de nuestras almas, conciencias, vidas. Las deja desnudas, extenuadas y contra la pared. Ahí estamos como lo que somos: seres bellos, traviesos, sensuales, miserables, oscuros, malditos, ingratos, apasionados, sórdidos, que vagamos por este camino llamado vida humana.

A captivating literary portrait of the writers who explore the city at night, and the people they met. “Cities, like cats, will reveal themselves at night,” wrote the poet Rupert Brooke. Before the age of electricity, the nighttime city was a very different place to the one we know today – home to the lost, the vagrant and the noctambulant. Matthew Beaumont recounts an alternative history of London by focusing on those of its denizens who surface on the streets when the sun’s down. If...

Prawer's highly influential work explores how the world of imaginative literature—poems, novels, plays—infused and shaped Marx's writings, from his unpublished correspondence, to his pamphlets and major works. In exploring Marx's use of literary texts, from Aeschylus to...

Ein Zyklus von vier Erzählungen, die der Autor vermutlich – mit einer Ausnahme – an einem Tag im Mai 1914 verfasste: Es geht um Visionen vom Untergang und des Paradieses, einen Sohn, der sich auf tragische Weise der Enge seines Elternhauses bewusst wird und einem Dichter auf der Suche nach sich selbst. Was alle Erzählungen eint ist das Streben nach Identität, doch dieses Suchen bleibt meist erfolglos…-

Fredric Jameson sweeps from the Renaissance to The Wire High modernism is now as far from us as antiquity was for the Renaissance.
