Alicia a través del espejo está concebido como una partida de ajedrez, donde los arroyos y los setos dividen las casillas y Alicia es un peón que aspira a ser reina; una partida de ajedrez donde nada tiene sentido y nada es lo que parece. En el mundo del espejo la realidad está distorsionada, o quizá sólo es otro modo de verla.

In this book, C.S. Lewis tells of his search for joy, a spiritual journey that led him from the Christianity of his early youth into atheism and then back to Christianity.

For centuries Christians have been tormented by one question above all, "If God is good and all-powerful, why does he allow his creatures to suffer pain?"

Mientras fuera nieva, Alicia juega al ajedrez con su gatita Kiti y medita sobre cómo será el mundo al otro lado del espejo colgado en la pared de su salón. Se sorprenderá al comprobar que puede atravesarlo. De ese lado le espera otra partida de ajedrez.

In 1986, before Michael Lewis became the best-selling author of The Big Short, Moneyball, and Flash Boys, he landed a job at Salomon Brothers, one of Wall Street’s premier investment firms. During the next three years, Lewis rose from callow trainee to New York- and London-based bond salesman, raking in millions for the firm and cashing in on a modern-day gold rush. Liar’s Poker is the culmination of those heady, frenzied years - a behind-the-scenes look at a unique and turbulent time in American business.

Si dia inizio! E che ci siano abbastanza assurdità! Bisbigliare con uccelli o bestie e credere per metà che sia tutto vero. Questa nuova edizione ampliata di Alice nel paese delle meraviglie reintegra alcune scene escluse dalla prima versione del 2017: in particolare vede tornare alla ribalta il personaggio della Duchessa; scene che al tempo abbiamo ritenuto essere un po' troppo "matte" per un pubblico piccino (consigliamo l'ascolto di questa versione dai 6 anni in poi).

"Doctor Arrowsmith" es considerada una de las obras maestras de la narrativa norteamericana del siglo XX. Como hijo y nieto de médicos, Sinclair Lewis tenía gran cantidad de conocimientos sobre el mundo de la medicina. El libro sigue la vida de Martin Arrowsmith, un tipo bastante común que entra en contacto con la medicina a los catorce años como asistente del médico en su ciudad natal. Lewis narra de manera brillante el mundo de la investigación y de las compañías farmacéuticas, también las modestas ambiciones de muchos hombres y mujeres que tienen una gran vocación.

A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below".

Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise old Devil to his nephew, Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man.

I due capolavori del grande scrittore e matematico Lewis Carroll, insieme e inversione integrale, da ascoltare tutta d'un fiato! Se in Alice nel Paese delle Meraviglie tutto si fa gioco surreale in mezzo a personaggi dalle più strane fogge e caratteri, in Alice attraverso lo Specchio, lo schema si fa più rigoroso, mentre s'invertono letteralmente le nostre certezze. I due racconti di Carroll sono un meraviglioso omaggio al mondo incantato dei bambini e alla loro fervida fantasia, che fugge e sfugge rapida e inafferrabile, proprio come il Bianconiglio...

On the surface, everything is all right with Babbitt’s world of the solid, successful businessman. But in reality, George F. Babbitt is a lonely, middle-aged man. He doesn’t understand his family, has an unsuccessful attempt at an affair, and is almost financially ruined when he dares to voice sympathy for some striking workers. Babbitt finds that his only safety lies deep in the fold of those who play it safe. He is a man who has added a new word to our language: a “Babbitt,” meaning someone who conforms unthinkingly, a sheep.
