La emoción, la belleza, el sentido trágico y al mismo tiempo grotesco de las grandes pasiones humanas hallan en La Celestina una de sus más intensas expresiones. El «loco amor» de Calisto y Melibea, enhebrado con los hilos de una «bruja», Celestina, culmina fatalmente con la muerte de ambos. Fernando de Rojas es capaz de contarnos esta historia con una habilidad insospechada, que ata al lector a un texto poderoso y magnífico y que obra el milagro de llenar de pasión la lectura misma.

Elements of the fantastical and the surreal abound, as they tend to do in the early predawn hours of the morning, yet the settings, the human stories, and each character's search are all as real as can be.

Doch zwei Gerechte genießen Satans Sympathie: der im Irrenhaus sitzende Schriftsteller, genannt "Meister", und Margarita, dessen einstige Geliebte.

Marking the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth, What Matters in Jane Austen? solves the mysteries of Austen’s fictional world. Jane Austen’s novels have been a staple of the English canon since the nineteenth century. Yet critics of the time did not appreciate the true complexity of her work. Nothing, John Mullan argues, is accidental or coincidental in Austen. As Austen herself said, she wrote for readers who have "a great deal of ingenuity themselves."

Virgil's Aeneid is the great masterpiece of Latin literature. Written at the beginning of the Roman Empire, it tells the exciting story of how a Trojan named Aeneas flees his burning city and goes on a quest to find a new homeland with a small fleet of refugees. The hero Aeneas encounters many monsters and opponents, undergoes many trials and temptations, survives shipwrecks and the whims of the gods. Throughout it all he is accompanied by his loyal sidekick, "faithful Achates"... My idea was this: "What if Achates was not just another Trojan, but a DOG!"
