Ebook con un sumario dinámico y detallado: Platero y yo es una narración de Juan Ramón Jiménez que recrea poéticamente la vida y muerte del burro Platero. Es muy célebre el primer párrafo:Platero es un burro pequeño, peludo, suave; tan blando por fuera que se diria todo de algodon, que no lleva huesos. Come de todo y los del pueblo dicen que tiene acero...1La primera edicion se publico en 1914 (Ediciones de la lectura), y en 1917 se publico la edicion completa, compuesta por 138 capitulos (Editorial Calleja, Madrid). Quedaba claro que Platero era un texto adulto, aunque por su sencillez y transparencia se adecuara perfectamente a la imaginacion y al gusto de los niños. Algunos capitulos encerraban una cierta critica social, revelando una dimension del autor que muchos tardaron en advertir. El propio Juan Ramon Jimenez, en un "prologuillo" a la edicion aclaraba: "Yo nunca he escrito ni escribire nada para niños, porque creo que el niño puede leer los libros que lee el hombre, con determinadas excepciones que a todos se le ocurren".El poeta tenia la intencion de ampliar el texto hasta los 190 capitulos; de hecho, existen tres adicionales, escritos en la decada de 1920. Juan Ramon Jimenez planeo tambien una segunda parte, denominada Otra vida de Platero, de la que incluso esbozo algunos titulos. Un proyecto que, como el de publicar Platero y yo en cuadernos sueltos, no llegaria nunca a ver la luz. Juan Ramon Jimenez Mantecon (Moguer, Huelva, 23 de diciembre de 1881-San Juan, Puerto Rico, 29 de mayo de 1958) fue un poeta español, ganador del Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1956, por el conjunto de su obra, designandose como trabajo destacado de la misma, la narracion lirica Platero y yo.

This carefully crafted ebook: "The Picture of Dorian Gray: The Uncensored 13 Chapter Version + The Revised 20 Chapter Version" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The Picture of Dorian Gray, the only novel by Oscar Wilde, was first published in 1890. A substantially revised and expanded edition was published in April 1891. For the new edition, Wilde revised the content of the novels existing chapters, divided the final chapter into two chapters, and created six entirely new additional chapters. Whereas the original edition of the novel contains 13 chapters, the revised edition of the novel contains 20 chapters. The 1891 version was expanded from 13 to 20 chapters, but also toned down, particularly in some of its overt homoerotic aspects. Also, chapters 3, 5, and 15 to 18 are entirely new in the 1891 version, and chapter 13 from the first edition is split in two (becoming chapters 19 and 20). The novel tells of a young man named Dorian Gray, the subject of a painting by artist Basil Hallward. Dorian is selected for his remarkable physical beauty, and Basil becomes strongly infatuated with Dorian, believing that his beauty is responsible for a new mode of art. The Picture of Dorian Gray is considered one of the last works of classic gothic horror fiction with a strong Faustian theme. It deals with the artistic movement of the decadents, and homosexuality, both of which caused some controversy when the book was first published. However, in modern times, the book has been referred to as "one of the modern classics of Western literature. Oscar Wills Wilde (1854 1900) was an Irish writer and poet. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of Londons most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. Today he is remembered for his epigrams, his only novel (The Picture of Dorian Gray), his plays and poetry, and the circumstances of his imprisonment and early death.

In 1902, self-taught British philosopher and author James Allen published this inspirational essay based on the Bible verse "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." This slender volume (only 68 pages) has been a popular classic ever since. Allen preached the importance of people taking responsibility for themselves and their actions as well as using determination to improve the mind. The most frequently quoted lines from the book include: "Men do not attract what they want, but what they are" and "A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts."

One day, however, his bullying boss drives him to desperate measures, and he develops a taste for intramural travel... The titular tale sets the tone for this collection of ten stories from the great French humourist, novelist and childrens writer Marcel Ayme. Elements of science-fiction and fantasy are present throughout this volume, written under Nazi occupation during the Second World War, which pokes fun at the occupiers and occupied alike.Set in Pariss Montmartre district, these stories have spawned a number of films, including Jean Boyers 1951 classic Garou Garou, le passe-muraille and Yvan Attals Les Sabines starring Charlotte Gainsbourg, as well as a musical, Amour, which won the Prix Moliere in France before an English version conquered Broadway. Today in Montmartre a sculpture of The Man Who Walked through Walls, created by the legendary actor Jean Marais, can be found in the Place Marcel Ayme, paying tribute to the great author and his work.Contents:- The Man Who Walked through Walls (Le Passe-muraille)- Sabine Women (Les Sabines)- Tickets on Time (La Carte)- The Problem of Summertime (Le Decret)- The Proverb (Le Proverbe)- Poldevian Legend (Legende Poldeve)- The Wife Collector (Le Percepteur depouses)- The Seven-League Boots (Les Bottes de sept lieues)- The Bailiff (LHuissier)- While Waiting (En attendant)The greatest French writer of the day Georges SimenonI have fallen utterly, completely and eternally in love with this writer. And, as with all true love, I am neither ashamed nor afraid to declare it to the world. Nick Lezard, GuardianThe book I would most like to thrust on people is Marcel Aymes The Man Who Walked Through Walls, stories which have now become some of my all-time favourites. Nick Lezard, Guardian Books of the Year 2012Marcel Ayme (1902-67) was one of the great French writers of the twentieth century. Born in the Franche-Comte of Eastern France, he never lost touch with his rural origins, which influenced much of his work. Initially perceived as a man of the left, throughout his life Ayme espoused causes from across the political spectrum, for example apparently supporting Mussolinis colonialism in Africa whilst also campaigning for the abolition of the death penalty. He attracted much controversy for his writings for collaborationist magazines during the Second World War, and his defence of Nazi-sympathising friends including Louis-Ferdinand Celine and Robert Brasillach in the post-war years. Nevertheless Ayme retains an important place in French culture. He championed Serge Gainsbourg in his early career, writing the liner notes for his debut album Du chant a la une!. This collection of stories is particularly famous, and a dozen of his novels have been turned into films, among them the classics of French cinema La Traversee de Paris, La Vouivre and Uranus.
