The best book of curious stories of Barcelona.In a corner of Paradís Street, there’s a millstone that commemorates the summit of Mount Tàber, the highest point in the Roman city, where Emperor Augustus’ men began constructing the city they named Iulia Augusta Faventia Paterna Barcino.Since then, this city has left us with many anecdotes and curiosities.

The city’s streets conceal latent histories waiting to be uncovered by the walker at the pace of their own steps. Because every corner, every passage, every fountain hides passionate pages, tales of love or war, tragedies, revolts, cries, dreams, and hopes. Those who know the past that envelops them can better understand the future that awaits them. This book shows us, in the form of brushstrokes and in a playful manner, what the origins of the city of Barcelona were and what remains of that Roman Barcino.It is evident that the urban landscape has changed significantly throughout this time, but the traces of that past can still be seen, not only while strolling through Ciutat Vella but also in the most unexpected corner of the city. All it takes is to sit on a stone bench and gaze up at one of the historic buildings or walk on one of the few remaining cobblestone streets. They are silent testimonies of a past that invites us to listen to it.

C'est l'histoire d'une femme mal mariée, de son médiocre époux, de ses amants égoïstes et vains, de ses rêves, de ses chimères, de sa mort. C'est l'histoire d'une province étroite, dévote et bourgeoise. C'est, aussi, l'histoire du roman français. Rien, dans ce tableau, n'avait de quoi choquer la société du Second Empire. Mais, inexorable comme une tragédie, flamboyant comme un drame, mordant comme une comédie, le livre s'était donné une arme redoutable : le style. Pour ce vrai crime, Flaubert se retrouva en correctionnelle. Aucun roman n'est innocent : celui-là moins qu'un autre. Lire Madame Bovary, au XXIe siècle, c'est affronter le scandale que représente une œuvre aussi sincère qu'impérieuse. Dans chacune de ses phrases, Flaubert a versé une dose de cet arsenic dont Emma Bovary s'empoisonne : c'est un livre offensif, corrosif, dont l'ironie outrage toutes nos valeurs, et la littérature même, qui ne s'en est jamais vraiment remise.

One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World'The Penguin English Library Edition of Frankenstein by Mary ShelleyA twisted, upside-down creation myth, Mary Shelley's chilling Gothic tale lays bare the dark side of science, and the horror within us all. It tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, who plunders graveyards to create a new being from the bodies of the dead - but whose botched creature causes nothing but murder and destruction. Written after a nightmare when its author was only eighteen, Frankenstein gave birth to the modern science fiction novel.The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.¿A qui va dirigit el llibre FRANKENSTEIN?Frankenstein és una novel·la amb un ampli espectre de lectors. La seva temàtica universal sobre la creació, la responsabilitat, el rebuig i les conseqüències del progrés científic la fa accessible a un públic divers. Es recomana per a lectors joves interessats en la ciència-ficció i el terror gòtic, així com per a adults que busquen una obra literària amb profunditat filosòfica i social. La complexitat de la narrativa i l'exploració de temes morals la converteixen en una lectura enriquidora per a estudiants de literatura i filosofia. En definitiva, l'obra transcendeix les barreres generacionals i ofereix una experiència de lectura significativa per a un ampli rang d'edats i nivells de coneixement.Temes que tracta el llibre FrankensteinFrankenstein explora una multitud de temes interconnectats que la converteixen en una obra complexa i multifacètica. Alguns dels temes més rellevants són:L'ambició científica i les seves conseqüències: La novel·la presenta una crítica a l'ambició desmesurada del científic que busca transcendir els límits naturals sense considerar les implicacions ètiques i morals dels seus actes. El Dr. Frankenstein s'obsessiona amb la creació de vida artificial, sense preveure les conseqüències devastadores del seu experiment. Aquest tema convida a la reflexió sobre la responsabilitat del científic a la societat i la necessitat d'una ètica rigorosa en la investigació.La creació i la responsabilitat: El tema central gira entorn de la creació de vida i la responsabilitat que comporta. Frankenstein crea una criatura, però la abandona a la seva sort, sense assumir les conseqüències dels seus actes. La novel·la explora la relació entre creador i criatura, qüestionant el dret a la creació i l'obligació de cuidar el que s'ha creat.El rebuig i el prejudici: La criatura de Frankenstein és rebutjada per la societat a causa de la seva aparença monstruosa. La novel·la mostra com el prejudici i la por al diferent poden conduir a l'exclusió i la violència. Aquest tema convida a la reflexió sobre la importància de l'acceptació i la tolerància cap als altres, independentment de les seves diferències físiques o socials.La naturalesa humana: Frankenstein explora la naturalesa humana en els seus aspectes més foscos i complexos. La novel·la mostra la capacitat de l'ésser humà per a la crueltat, la venjança i l'autodestrucció, però també la seva capacitat per a l'amor, la compassió i la redempció. L'obra presenta una visió ambivalent de la condició humana, sense simplificacions ni judicis morals fàcils.L'aïllament i la soledat: Tant el Dr. Frankenstein com la seva criatura experimenten un profund aïllament i soledat. El científic s'aïlla per la culpa i l'horror de la seva creació, mentre que la criatura és rebutjada per la societat. La novel·la explora les conseqüències de l'aïllament social i la importància de les relacions humanes per al benestar individual.El poder de la naturalesa: La novel·la contrasta el poder de la naturalesa amb el poder de la ciència. La naturalesa es presenta com una força poderosa i imprevisible, capaç de destruir i crear. La ciència, per la seva banda, es presenta com una eina poderosa, però també perillosa, que pot ser utilitzada per al bé o per al mal.Resum de crítiques, opinions i valoracions del llibre FRANKENSTEINEs considera una obra fonamental de la literatura gòtica i de ciència-ficció, alabada per la seva capacitat per generar inquietud i reflexió. Ha estat objecte de nombroses adaptacions cinematogràfiques i teatrals, el que demostra la seva perdurable influència en la cultura popular. La novel·la ha estat àmpliament estudiada i analitzada des de diferents perspectives, destacant la seva complexitat temàtica i la seva riquesa literària. Es reconeix el seu impacte en la literatura i la seva capacitat per generar debat sobre temes ètics i morals rellevants per a la humanitat. L'obra continua sent llegida i apreciada per la seva capacitat per commoure i desafiar el lector.

From the New York Times-bestselling author of Cutting for Stone comes a stunning and magisterial epic of love, faith, and medicine, set in Kerala, South India, following three generations of a family seeking the answers to a strange secretSpanning the years 1900 to 1977, The Covenant of Water is set in Kerala, on India’s Malabar Coast, and follows three generations of a family that suffers a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning—and in Kerala, water is everywhere. At the turn of the century, a twelve-year-old girl from Kerala's Christian community, grieving the death of her father, is sent by boat to her wedding, where she will meet her forty-year-old husband for the first time. From this unforgettable new beginning, the young girl—and future matriarch, Big Ammachi—will witness unthinkable changes over the span of her extraordinary life, full of joy and triumph as well as hardship and loss, her faith and love the only constants.A shimmering evocation of a bygone India and of the passage of time itself, The Covenant of Water is a hymn to progress in medicine and to human understanding, and a humbling testament to the hardships undergone by past generations for the sake of those alive today. Imbued with humor, deep emotion, and the essence of life, it is one of the most masterful literary novels published in recent years.
