But, influenced by the well-phrased epigrams of the hedonist Lord Henry on the transience of youth and beauty, Dorian becomes jealous of it and wishes that the portrait bear the scars of his passing youth and age, while he would remain young forever. And Alas, his wish comes true! Enticed into dissolution and degradation while his portrait is aging in the attic, Dorian engages in scandals and sinful pleasures. We see him go from good to evil. But is he any happier? The only novel written by Oscar Wilde, the Picture of Dorian Gray is an arresting moral commentary and a classic example of Gothic fiction. with an unparalleled depiction of the Faustian bargain, this parable of aesthetic ideal remains a literary masterpiece almost 125 years after its publication.

Love in the Time of Cholera, Garbriel Garca Mrquez — Love in the Time of Cholera, Garbriel Garca Mrquez

₹299

Dos historias hay en este libro. Una de ellas, apenas esbozada, es la de un amor secreto que culmina en la muerte elegida por un hombre que ha querido ponerse a salvo "de los tormentos de la memoria."La otra historia es la de un amor que hace de esos tormentos su alimento. Un amor acechado por los enemigos: el deterioro fisico, la vejez, la muerte, pero que es capaz, no solo de resistirlos, sino tambien de transformarlos en el impetu del deseo. Una muchacha de dieciocho años rechaza al hombre de quien ha estado enamorada y con quien le han impedido unirse.Mas de cincuenta años despues, cuando ha muerto otro hombre con quien se ha casado para vivir un lapso de sucedaneos desdeñables, se reune con aquel primer amor suyo a bordo de un barco que se llama Nueva Fidelidad.La exacerbacion del deseo se alia a la muerte y a la enfermedad porque se les parece: "Los sintomas del amor son los mismos del colera."En este relato infinitamente seductor, Gabriel Garcia Marquez narra la obsesion del deseo con un arrebato que lo aparta de sus grandes novelas anteriores y a la vez lo acerca a ellas.A la circularidad del tiempo en Macondo, al enclaustramiento del tirano aislado en su poder demencial, sucede ahora la vigencia imbatible del deseo ahincado en si mismo. Un deseo que avanza hacia su origen en un movimiento que no cesa. Como el movimiento del barco Nueva Fidelidad, que seguira yendo y viniendo "toda la vida". Son las palabras que cierran, reanudandola, esta historia de amor.

Anne Frank's extraordinary diary, written in the Amsterdam attic where she and her family hid from the Nazis for two years, has become a world classic and a timeless testament to the human spirit.

Here she is first and foremost a teenage girl—stubbornly honest, touchingly vulnerable, in love with life. She imparts her deeply secret world of soul-searching and hungering for affection, rebellious clashes with her mother, romance and newly discovered sexuality, and wry, candid observations of her companions. Facing hunger, fear of discovery and death, and the petty frustrations of such confined quarters, Anne writes with adult wisdom and views beyond her years. Her story is that of every teenager, lived out in conditions few teenagers have ever known.
