It’s then that he makes a pact with Mephistopheles, who promises to serve Faust, grant his every wish, and give him purpose again—a virtual heaven on earth. There’s just one catch: upon Faust’s death, it will be he who will serve—in hell.

In one of the greatest works of German literature, Goethe explores the human need for meaning and the desire for power over one’s own fate, regardless of the consequences.

AmazonClassics brings you timeless works from the masters of storytelling. Ideal for anyone who wants to read a great work for the first time or rediscover an old favorite, these new editions open the door to literature’s most unforgettable characters and beloved worlds.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

J.M Barrie’s classic tale of Peter Pan and Wendy and the lost boys of Neverland. Now illustrated by Mónica Cencerrado.

“All children, except one, grow up. They soon know that they will grow up, and the way Wendy knew was this. One day when she was two years old, she was playing in a garden, and she plucked another flower and ran with it to her mother. I suppose she must have looked rather delightful, for Mrs. Darling put her hand to her heart and cried, 'Oh, why can’t you remain like this forever!' This was all that passed between them on the subject, but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. You always know after you are two. Two is the beginning of the end.”]]> 272 J.M.

Grandes Clásicos Literatura Random House nos brinda esta magnífica edición de una novela de enorme poder de sugestión, a través de la figura del hombre solitario que, tras sobrevivir a una vil traición, regresa para hacer justicia.

El conde de Montecristo es uno de los clásicos más populares de todos los tiempos. Desde su publicación, en 1844, no ha dejado de seducir al gran público con la inolvidable historia de su protagonista.

Edmond Dantés es un joven marinero, honrado y cándido, que lleva una existencia tranquila. Quiere casarse con la hermosa Mercedes, pero su vida se verá arruinada cuando su mejor amigo, Ferdinand, deseoso de conquistar a su prometida, le traicione vilmente. Condenado a cumplir una condena que no merece en la siniestra prisión del castillo de If, Edmond vivirá una larga pesadilla de trece años. Obsesionado por su inesperado destino, dejará de lado sus convicciones en torno al bien y al mal, y se dedicará a tramar la venganza perfecta.

Historia transida de densidad moral y cívica, El conde de Montecristo es, hoy como ayer, una novela amena, iluminadora y fascinante en sus múltiples dimensiones.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read

Thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantes is confined to the grim fortress of If. There he learns of a great hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo and he becomes determined not only to escape, but also to unearth the treasure and use it to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration. Dumas' epic tale of suffering and retribution, inspired by a real-life case of wrongful imprisonment, was a huge popular success when it was first serialized in the 1840s.
Robin Buss's lively English translation is complete and unabridged, and remains faithful to the style of Dumas's original. This edition includes an introduction, explanatory notes and suggestions for further reading.]]> 240 Alexandre Dumas 8427219547 Gustavo 5 4.67 1846 El conde de Montecristo / The Count of Montecristo (Inolvidables) (Spanish Edition)

Mr. Darcy es el hombre más arrogante, insufrible y maleducado que ha existido jamás. O, al menos, esa es la opinión de la joven y perspicaz Lizzy Bennet. Pero, para su desgracia, la mala suerte quiere que las vidas de ambos no dejen de cruzarse. ¿Conseguirá Lizzy superar sus prejuicios y ver a Darcy como algo más que un enemigo? Entre malentendidos, familiares entrometidos y algún que otro escándalo, el camino hacia el amor de los dos jóvenes no podría ser más accidentado.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Discover why this classic is one of the most loved stories of all time .

Since its publishing in 1813, this novel has gone on to become one of the most influential and stands as a literary masterpiece even to this day.

In this historic romance, young Elizabeth Bennet strives for love, independence, and honesty in the vapid high society of 19th century England.

When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend, Bingley, and her beloved sister, Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever.

In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly evokes the friendships, gossip, and snobberies of provincial middle-class life.]]> 224 Jane Austen 8427236875 Gustavo 0 4.00 1813 Orgullo y prejuicio / Pride and Prejudice (Inolvidables) (Spanish Edition)

S. T. Joshi, Lovecraft's preeminent interpreter, presents a selection of the master's fiction, from the early tales of nightmares and madness such as "The Outsider" to the overpowering cosmic terror of "The Call of Cthulhu." More than just a collection of terrifying tales, this volume reveals the development of Lovecraft's mesmerizing narrative style and establishes him as a canonical - and visionary - American writer.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

]]> The Republic 35529497 What is justice? In Plato’s Socratic dialogue, The Republic, the citizens of ancient Greece explore the world’s most fundamental question.

In search of an ideal civilization, Socrates leads Glaucon, Polemarchus, Thrasymachus, and others in debates about various subjects, including justice, truth, class, and art. For without righteousness, tyranny and injustice give rise to oligarchy.

The influential dialogues of The Republic helped shape all of Western literature and philosophical thought. It is as much a doctrine of ethics and politics now as it was for the ancient Greeks, and its dilemma remains: how to create a perfect society populated by very imperfect human beings.

AmazonClassics brings you timeless works from the masters of storytelling. Ideal for anyone who wants to read a great work for the first time or rediscover an old favorite, these new editions open the door to literature’s most unforgettable characters and beloved worlds.

]]> Trafalgar 1256210
Los Episodios Nacionales cubren, en forma novelada, practicamente toda la historia de España durante el siglo XIX. La serie inicial comienza con el relato de la batalla de Trafalgar. Gabriel Araceli, el protagonijsta, cuenta los primeros años de sua vida y su participación en la famosa batalla naval. Con realismo sorprendente describe todos los incidentes de la lucha que en 1805 sostuvo la armada inglesa contra las fuerzas aliandas de España y Francia.

Galdos inserta magistralmnte en Trafalgar la vida privada de los personajes en el acontecer histórico de su época y por eso puede decirse que en los Episodios Nacionales un hilo de narración fingida conduce al lector por los ambientes y los acontecimientos del siglo XIX.]]> 186 Benito Pérez Galdós 8476726651 Gustavo 5
In this book, a tale of the battle of Trafalgar through the eyes of a boy, he does a very good job of keeping the reader entertained.

I give a half star for the way the book is written. Galdos, although an excellent story teller, tends to go off in some narratives that takes the reader away from the main story line without any need for it.

I give a full star for enjoyment, even though the problem mention above, the story is very enjoyable.

Another full star for thought provoking. the desperate situation which the Spanish navy found itself in before and after the battle, and the hardships her seamen had to go through for the whims of a foreign power and her own inept rulers is very well described in the pages of this book.

A half star for imagery, I could follow and most of the situations described in the book with vivid emotions, but the excess narratives sometimes took away some of it.

I will give this book a full star as a parting friend. I enjoyed this book and has left an important impression upon me. I enjoyed my time with it.]]> 3.93 1873 Trafalgar

]]> Krampus: The Yule Lord 13505670
dz Krampus

The author and artist of The Child Thief returns with a modern fabulist tale of Krampus, the Lord of Yule and the dark enemy of Santa Claus

One Christmas Eve in a small hollow in Boone County, West Virginia, struggling songwriter Jesse Walker witnesses a strange spectacle: seven devilish figures chasing a man in a red suit toward a sleigh and eight reindeer. When the reindeer leap skyward, taking the sleigh, devil men, and Santa into the clouds, screams follow. Moments later, a large sack plummets back to earth, a magical sack that thrusts the down-on-his-luck singer into the clutches of the terrifying Yule Lord, Krampus. But the lines between good and evil become blurred as Jesse's new master reveals many dark secrets about the cherry-cheeked Santa Claus, including how half a millennium ago the jolly old saint imprisoned Krampus and usurped his magic.

Now Santa's time is running short, for the Yule Lord is determined to have his retribution and reclaim Yuletide. If Jesse can survive this ancient feud, he might have the chance to redeem himself in his family's eyes, to save his own broken dreams, . . . and to help bring the magic of Yule to the impoverished folk of Boone County.]]> 357 Brom 006209565X Gustavo 0 4.10 2012 Krampus: The Yule Lord

So begins this classic Grimm tale of two innocent children, abandoned in the forest by their cruel mother, who happen upon the enchanting gingerbread house of a wicked witch. Hansel's cunning and little Gretel's courage foil the witch's evil plan to fatten them up and eat them, and in the best fairy tale tradition, they and their loving father live happily ever after.

This old German fairy tale was collected by the German Brothers Grimm and published in 1812 in Grimm's Fairy Tales. It is also known as Hansel and Grettel, or Little Step Brother and Little Step Sister. Since its publication, it has become a classic and beloved tale to millions of avid readers.]]> 40 Jacob Grimm Gustavo 4 3.90 1812 Hansel and Gretel

]]> <![CDATA[The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer]]> 9667124
The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance, but also of hubris, paternalism, and misperception. Mukherjee recounts centuries of discoveries, setbacks, victories, and deaths, told through the eyes of his predecessors and peers, training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out “war against cancer.� The book reads like a literary thriller with cancer as the protagonist.

From the Persian Queen Atossa, whose Greek slave cut off her malignant breast, to the nineteenth-century recipients of primitive radiation and chemotherapy to Mukherjee’s own leukemia patient, Carla, The Emperor of All Maladies is about the people who have soldiered through fiercely demanding regimens in order to survive—and to increase our understanding of this iconic disease.

Riveting, urgent, and surprising, The Emperor of All Maladies provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of cancer treatments. It is an illuminating book that provides hope and clarity to those seeking to demystify cancer.]]> 597 Siddhartha Mukherjee Gustavo 0 4.44 2010 The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer

]]> <![CDATA[John Ransom's Andersonville Diary]]> 32609738 "An altogether exciting and unique, almost priceless documentary." � Library Journal.

Camp Sumter, more commonly known as Andersonville prison, opened in February 1864.

Over the course of the Civil War 45,000 Union prisoners were received at the prison, of which 13,000 would never reach homelands again, as in the abhorrent conditions of the camp they succumbed to malnutrition and disease.

John Ransom, Quartermaster of Company A, 9th Michigan Volunteer Cavalry, had been captured in November 1863.

He would remain in Confederate prisons, including the notorious Andersonville, until his eventual escape in December 1864.

Recording the day-by-day events of life under guard, Ransom notes how his friends around him fought to stay alive or gave up the struggle.

Ransom himself goes through moments of despair when he believes he will not last another day, and only survives through the camaraderie and support of his fellow prisoners.

A whole array of characters are noted through the pages of the diary, from the Andersonville Raiders who were ruthless Union prisoners that persecuted those around them to survive, to more benevolent figures like George Hendryx who was always looking for a way to escape and the Native American Battese who helped Ransom through his darkest days.

"The Civil War produced many diaries, but few as appealing and readable as this one." � Publishers Weekly.

"A tale of adventure, of suspense from beginning to end, of fierce hate and great love, of the incredible callousness of man and the incredible warmth of man � with the added knowledge that 'it really happened.'" � Bruce Catton.

“As compelling and powerful as a novel� � Los Angeles Times.

John Ransom was a printer in Jackson, Michigan before the war. He eventually escaped from Confederate prisons and returned to the north. He features as a character in Mackinlay Kantor’s Pulitzer Prize winning book Andersonville. His diary was published in 1881. He died at the age of 76 on 23rd September 1919 in Los Angeles County.

Most people have heard of Voodoo before, but if you think it only has to do with sticking pins into cursed dolls for the purpose of inflicting pain onto your enemies, you couldn’t be further from the truth. Voodoo, or 'Vodou' as it is traditionally referred to, is a modern-day take on an ancient Haitian religion developed by African-Caribbean slave workers on island plantations during the period of French Slavery. Apart from simply being just a religion, Voodoo is actually an entire way of life which is centered around an immense respect for one's elders. This respect is further expanded towards life philosophies and spirituality, and even extends into the realm of a great respect for nature. This book is designed to introduce you to the very essence of Voodoo, and then after you have prepared yourself both mentally and physically to perform Voodoo spells and rituals, you will learn how to put into practice a very basic Voodoo spell and protection charm. While you're going through this book, it's important to keep in mind that, within the practice of Voodoo, everyone is part of the same order, so with a little bit of hard work and dedication, you too can master the art of voodoo and reap the countless benefits that come with it.

For almost seventeen years, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart brilliantly redefined the borders between television comedy, political satire, and opinionated news coverage. It launched the careers of some of today's most significant comedians, highlighted the hypocrisies of the powerful, and garnered 23 Emmys. Now the show's behind-the-scenes gags, controversies, and camaraderie will be chronicled by the players themselves, from legendary host Jon Stewart to the star cast members and writers-including Samantha Bee, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, Steve Carell, Lewis Black, Jessica Williams, John Hodgman, and Larry Wilmore-plus some of The Daily Show's most prominent guests and adversaries: John and Cindy McCain, Glenn Beck, Tucker Carlson, and many more.

This oral history takes the reader behind the curtain for all the show's highlights, from its origins as Comedy Central's underdog late-night program hosted by Craig Kilborn to Jon Stewart's long reign to Trevor Noah's succession, rising from a scrappy jester in the 24-hour political news cycle to become part of the beating heart of politics-a trusted source for not only comedy but also commentary, with a reputation for calling bullshit and an ability to effect real change in the world.

Through years of incisive election coverage, Jon Stewart's emotional monologue in the wake of 9/11, his infamous confrontation on Crossfire, passionate debates with President Obama and Hillary Clinton, feuds with Bill O'Reilly and Fox, the Indecisions, Mess O'Potamia, and provocative takes on Wall Street and racism, The Daily Show has been a cultural touchstone. Now, for the first time, the people behind the show's seminal moments come together to share their memories of the last-minute rewrites, improvisations, pranks, romances, blow-ups, and moments of Zen both on and off the set of one of America's most groundbreaking shows.]]> 16 Chris Smith 1478936568 Gustavo 0 to-read 4.11 2016 The Daily Show (The Audiobook): An Oral History as Told by Jon Stewart, the Correspondents, Staff and Guests

]]> <![CDATA[Bushido the Soul of Japan: Illustrated (History Alive Book 2)]]> 23263976
By the end of the 12th century, samurai became almost entirely synonymous with bushi, and the word was closely associated with the middle and upper echelons of the warrior class. The samurai followed a set of rules that came to be known as Bushido. Their teachings can still be found today in both everyday life and in modern Japanese martial arts. The philosophies of Buddhism and Zen, and to a lesser extent Confucianism and Shinto, influenced the samurai culture. Zen meditation became an important teaching due to it offering a process to calm one's mind. The Buddhist concept of reincarnation and rebirth led samurai to abandon torture and needless killing, while some samurai even gave up violence altogether and became Buddhist monks after realizing how fruitless their killings were. Some were killed as they came to terms with these realizations in the battlefield. The most defining role that Confucianism played in samurai philosophy was to stress the importance of the lord-retainer relationship—the loyalty that a samurai was required to show his lord. Samurai warriors described themselves as followers of "The Way of the Warrior" or Bushido. Bushido is defined by the Japanese dictionary Shogakukan Kokugo Daijiten as "a unique philosophy (ronri) that spread through the warrior class from the Muromachi (chusei) period. From the earliest times, the Samurai felt that the path of the warrior was one of honor, emphasizing duty to one's master, and loyalty unto death". Most samurai were bound by a code of honor and were expected to set an example for those below them. A notable part of their code is sepuku or hara kiri, which allowed a disgraced samurai to regain his honor by passing into death, where samurai were still beholden to social rules.

]]> To Kill a Mockingbird 22024583 "Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."

A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much.

"To Kill A Mockingbird" became both an instant bestseller and a critical success when it was first published in 1960. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was later made into an Academy Award-winning film.]]> 271 Harper Lee Gustavo 5 4.45 1960 To Kill a Mockingbird

Jance’s popular series sleuths, join forces to solve a terrifying crime in this exclusive enovella that has everything you want in a thriller—page-turning action, breathtaking twists and turns, edge-of-your-seat suspense, and…Legos.

“A semi’s gone over the embankment.� The call wakes Sheriff Joanna Brady in the middle of the night, but what brings her fully alert is the rest of the story. The driver didn’t drift off to sleep and cross the center line—he was shot, multiple times, by someone with serious firepower. And when the truck crashed through the guardrail, its payload wound up scattered all over the road—boxes upon boxes of Legos.

Legos that are being tracked by B. Simpson’s security firm to reduce black market sales—and Ali Reynolds is just the woman to get to the bottom of the crime. She has the tech and the intel to follow the money (or, in this case, the Legos), which makes her a valuable asset to Joanna’s team. Soon these two strong women realize that they’re not just sharing a case, they’re kindred spirits—which is paramount, because the killer they’re up against is anything but child’s play.

Overwhelmed and exhausted, we tend to hit the ground running every morning without much thought to what exactly we are doing or why we’re doing it. Phone calls, texts, e-mails, Kids sports and yoga classes. It’s all a blur of activity and deadlines. Are these activities meaningful to you? Are they contributing to your joy and serenity or is the mindless rushing about simply a way of not thinking about what’s really important?

˃˃˃ The ability to simplify life is the ability to declutter your soul and live with emotional simplicity.

Simple organized living is a wonderful concept but it takes more than throwing a bunch of unwanted stuff in a box and making a dump run. It requires a paradigm shift and a commitment to doing things in a different way. An attitude shift towards the things you have and the things you want. Before you simplify your space, you need to be able to be emotionally and spiritually ready to not only handle the decluttering projects you are going to tackle but to permanently change your habits and attitudes towards your material possessions as well as your relationships.

˃˃˃ This is Book one of the two part “Joy of less� series,

In it, Cary David Richards details how he and his wife Jeannie were forced by circumstances to downsize and simplify. How over time they came to understand that minimalism has some very tangible and important long term benefits.

From reduced stress to being able to think with clarity and vision, Cary and Jeannie's minimalist journey will illuminate the joy and explain the challenges of a life lived with Less and an existence filled with freedom and happiness.

˃˃˃ Block some time out of your busy schedule

Let Cary David explain how to painlessly and effectively de-clutter you from the inside out and prepare you for the minimalist path.

After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive—and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive.

Chances are, though, he won’t have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old “human error� are much more likely to kill him first.

But Mark isn’t ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills � and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit � he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?
