La hija del tiempo, de Josephine Tey, convierte la novela policial en una pesquisa historiográfica de notable originalidad. Desde una cama de hospital, el inspector Alan Grant reabre el caso de Ricardo III y los principes de la Torre, examinando retratos, cronicas y prejuicios transmitidos por la tradicion. El libro combina la logica detectivesca con una critica penetrante de la escritura de la historia, y su estilo, sobrio, ingenioso y elegantemente ironico, sostiene una reflexion sobre la verdad, la evidencia y la fabricacion de mitos. En el contexto de la novela de enigma del siglo XX, destaca por desplazar el crimen del presente al pasado documental. Josephine Tey, seudonimo de Elizabeth MacKintosh, fue una autora escocesa de gran inteligencia narrativa, formada tanto en la observacion psicologica como en la arquitectura del suspense. Su interes por las versiones oficiales, la reputacion publica y la fragilidad de los hechos frente a la propaganda explica en buena medida la concepcion de esta obra. Dramaturga ademas de novelista, Tey poseia un agudo sentido del dialogo y de la escena, cualidades que aqui le permiten dramatizar una investigacion casi enteramente intelectual. Recomiendo vivamente este libro a lectores de novela policial, de ficcion historica y de ensayos sobre la memoria cultural. Su mayor merito no es solo entretener, sino enseñar a desconfiar de las simplificaciones heredadas. Es una obra breve, persuasiva y memorable, ideal para quien busque una lectura inteligente que una erudicion, suspense y revisionismo critico.

"So foul a sky clears not without a storm." SHAKESPEARE"Nostromo" is the most anxiously meditated of the longer novels which belong to the period following upon the publication of the "Typhoon" volume of short stories.I dont mean to say that I became then conscious of any im-pending change in my mentality and in my attitude towards the tasks of my writing life.And perhaps there was never any change, except in that mysterious, extraneous thing which has nothing to do with the theories of art; a subtle change in the nature of the inspiration; a phenomenon for which I can not in any way be held responsible. What, however, did cause me some concern was that after finishing the last story of the "Typhoon" volume it seemed somehow that there was nothing more in the world to write about.

THE YEAR 1400 opened with more than usual pea-cefulness in England. Only a few months before, Richard IIweak, wicked, and treacheroushad been dethroned, and Henry IV declared King in his stead. But it was only a seeming peacefulness, lasting but for a little while; for though King Henry proved himself a just and a merciful manas justice and mercy went with the men of iron of those daysand though he did not care to shed blood needlessly, there were many noble families who had been benefited by King Richard during his reign, and who had lost somewhat of their power and prestige from the co-ming in of the new King.Among these were a number of great lordsthe Dukes of Albemarle, Surrey, and Exeter, the Marquis of Dorset, the Earl of Gloucester, and otherswho had been degra-ded to their former titles and estates, from which King Richard had lifted them. These and others brewed a secret plot to take King Henrys life, which plot might have succeeded had not one of their own number betrayed them.

Moby-Dick; or, The Whale is a novel by Herman Melville, first published in 1851. It is considered to be one of the Great American Novels. The story tells the adventures of wandering sailor Ishmael, and his voyage on the whaleship Pequod, commanded by Captain Ahab. Ishmael soon learns that Ahab has one purpose on this voyage: to seek out Moby Dick, a ferocious, enigmatic white sperm whale. In a previous encounter, the whale destroyed Ahabs boat and bit off his leg, which now drives Ahab to take revenge.In Moby-Dick, Melville employs stylized language, symbolism, and metaphor to explore numerous complex themes. Through the journey of the main characters, the concepts of class and social status, good and evil, and the existence of God are all examined, as the main characters speculate upon their personal beliefs and their places in the universe. The narrators reflections, along with his descriptions of a sailors life aboard a whaling ship, are woven into the narrative along with Shakespearean literary devices, such as stage directions, extended soliloquies, and asides. The book portrays destructive obsession and monomania, as well as the assumption of anthropomorphism.
