La intensa experiencia individual del narrador protagonista se convierte en un arrebatador relato vit...

Dickens, Charles

A Christmas Carol is the most famous, heart-warming and chilling festive story of them all.

This attitude is soon challenged when th...

Orwell, George

George Orwell is a difficult author to summarize. He was a would-be revolutionary who went to Eton, a political writer who abhorred dogma, a socialist who thrived on his image as a loner, and a member of the Imperial Indian Police who chronicled the iniquities of imperialism. Both the books in this volume were published in the 1930s, "a low, dishonest decade," as his coeval W....
