Novelas ejemplares I
di Miguel de Cervantes
Las “Novelas ejemplares” publicadas en 1613 constituyen, según indica el mismo autor, el primer ejemplo de relato corto en la literatura castellana, de acuerdo con el significado en esa época de la palabra “novela”. Entre las 12 que componen la colección se encuentran señaladas diferencias; algunas están próximas a modelos italianos, otras suponen una notable profundización tanto psicológica y social como estilística, todas son pequeñas obras maestras concebidas por el genio de Cervantes. La presente edición de Harry Sieber sigue fielmente la príncipe de Juan de la Cuesta y corrige sus erratas.

Age of Iron
by J.M. Coetzee
Nobel Laureate and two-time Booker prize-winning author of Disgrace and The Life and Times of Michael K, J. M. Coetzee tells the remarkable story of a nation gripped in brutal apartheid in his Sunday Express Book of the Year award-winner Age of Iron.
In Cape Town, South Africa, an elderly classics professor writes a letter to her distant daughter, recounting the strange and disturbing events of her dying days. She has been opposed to the lies and the brutality of apartheid all her life, but now she finds herself coming face to face with its true horrors: the hounding by the police of her servant’s son, the burning of a nearby black township, the murder by security forces of a teenage activist who seeks refuge in her house. Through it all, her only companion, the only person to whom she can confess her mounting anger and despair, is a homeless man who one day appears on her doorstep.
In Age of Iron, J. M. Coetzee brings his searing insight and masterful control of language to bear on one of the darkest episodes of our times.
‘Quite simply a magnificent and unforgettable work’ Daily Telegraph
‘A superbly realized novel whose truth cuts to the bone’ The New York Times
‘A remarkable work by a brilliant writer’ Wall Street Journal
South African author J. M. Coetzee was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2003 and was the first author to win the Booker Prize twice for his novels Disgrace and The Life and Times of Michael K.

A passage to India
di E.M. Forster
When Adela and her elderly companion Mrs Moore arrive in the Indian town of Chandrapore, they quickly feel trapped by its insular and prejudiced British community. Determined to explore the ‘real India’, they seek the guidance of the charming and mercurial Dr Aziz, a cultivated Indian Muslim. But a mysterious incident occurs while they are exploring the Marabar caves with Aziz, and the well-respected doctor soon finds himself at the centre of a scandal that rouses violent passions among both the British and their Indian subjects. A masterly portrait of a society in the grip of imperialism, A Passage to India compellingly depicts the fate of individuals caught between the great political and cultural conflicts of the modern world.
