Elías é un afamado director de produción de series, cuxa traxectoria se ve repentinamente desprestixiada cando o seu equipo de rodaxe se planta nunha absurda folga. A crise laboral coincide coa morte do pai en Ferrol e vese na obriga de deixar o traballo e volver a sua terra natal. Ali descubrira asombrado que o seu pai fabricaba un artefacto explosivo no faiado; coñecera a Merceditas, unha rabuda octoxenaria; a Irene, unha atractiva e enigmatica veciña; a Ana, unha muller migrante sen papeis, e aos membros furiosos dunha rondalla que o perseguen. Todo se converte nun delirio, mentres o seu mundo laboral e persoal cae no caos. E Merceditas parece ter as claves do que sucede.Maria Solar ofrecenos unha obra vibrante, emotiva e de personaxes rotundos. Unha novela que transita entre o drama e o humor para reflexionar sobre o exito, e o que permanece, nunha sociedade adanista. Unha historia sobre o caos e a orde, onde volver empezar e unha lei da natureza.

Amb estudi introductori i propostes de treball a cura d'Anton Carbonell.Aquesta edició de Terra baixa vol apropar al públic escolar una de les obres més representatives de la literatura catalana i, alhora, posar en evidencia la singularitat del llenguatge teatral que la conforma. Per llegir-la adequadament, no es pot menystenir la seva naturalesa escenica i, en aquest sentit, es bo de valorar com ha estat comentada i interpretada al llarg del temps. Terra baixa (1897) es un drama que presenta, a traves de diversos elements (romantics, realistes, modernistes), un joc de tensions humanes i simboliques de gran força teatral. El conflicte entre l'ideal de la terra alta i la realitat de la terra baixa aconsegueix una categoria mitica i obre pas a la creacio de personatges inoblidables (Manelic, Marta, Sebastia) que viuen amb intensitat la problematica de la possessio amorosa. No es estrany que una obra d'aquestes caracteristiques assolis ben aviat una consideracio de classic del teatre catala i un veritable resso universal.

Amb estudi introductori, comentaris de text i propostes didactiques de Jaume Aulet.Aigues encantades (1908) se situa en un poble de la part alta i muntanyosa de les comarques tarragonines i planteja el tipic conflicte modernista entre l'individu i la societat. El problema de la sequera provoca un enfrontament entre el sector tradicionalista i conservador del poble -que es el que compta amb el poder factic- i la visio moderna d'un enginyer vingut de la ciutat que compta amb la complicitat de la filla del cacic local. Es la lluita ancestral entre la tradicio i la modernitat vista des dels parametres del Modernisme mes regeneracionista i vitalista.L'estudi preliminar i els complements didactics han anat a cura de Jaume Aulet, professor de literatura catalana contemporania de la Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona.

In Sue Monk Kidd's The Secret Life of Bees, 14-year-old Lily Owen, neglected by her father and isolated on their Georgia peach farm, spends hours imagining a blissful infancy when she was loved and nurtured by her mother, Deborah, whom she barely remembers. These consoling fantasies are her heart's answer to the family story that as a child, in unclear circumstances, Lily accidentally shot and killed her mother. All Lily has left of Deborah is a strange image of a Black Madonna, with the words "Tiburon, South Carolina" scrawled on the back. The search for a mother, and the need to mother oneself, are crucial elements in this well-written coming-of-age story set in the early 1960s against a background of racial violence and unrest. When Lily's beloved nanny, Rosaleen, manages to insult a group of angry white men on her way to register to vote and has to skip town, Lily takes the opportunity to go with her, fleeing to the only place she can think of--Tiburon, South Carolina--determined to find out more about her dead mother. Although the plot threads are too neatly trimmed, The Secret Life of Bees is a carefully crafted novel with an inspired depiction of character. The legend of the Black Madonna and the brave, kind, peculiar women who perpetuate Lily's story dominate the second half of the book, placing Kidd's debut novel squarely in the honored tradition of the Southern Gothic. --Regina Marler

Fanny és la novel·la més coneguda de Carles Soldevila.Tant per les característiques de la protagonista -una noia alliberada i autosuficient- com per la seva modernitat, expressada sobretot en la utilitzacio del monoleg interior, aquesta obra va significar un tomb en la literatura catalana de l'epoca. Fanny conserva encara, per al lector d'avui, tot l'atractiu que tenia quan es va publicar el 1929, i es pot considerar el maxim exponent de la prosa de Carles Soldevila.
