Moby Dick: Moby Dick, Afrikaans Edition (Literatura Juvenil (panamericana Editorial) Ser.)
by Herman MelvilleLa ambigüedad con la que se juzgan el bien y el mal en Moby Dick, la convierte en heredera de la Odisea e incluso de La Divina Comedia. Moby Dick, la novela que William Faulkner hubiera querido escribir, ha alcanzado el reconocimiento y el elogio constante que merece una construcción narrativa impecable. La lucha del capitán Ahab, su terrible obsesión y la mítica persecución de la enorme ballena han traspasado fronteras, consiguiendo así la indiscutible categoría de obra maestra de la literatura universal. «Moby Dick es el paradigma novelístico de lo sublime: un logro fuera de lo común.» Harold Bloom

Little Lord Fauntleroy
by Frances Hodgson BurnettFrances Hodgson Burnett's conviction that love conquers all is memorably embodied in this classic rags-to-riches tale of an American boy who is transported from the mean streets of nineteenth-century New York to the splendor of his titled grandfather's English manor. Polly Hovarth writes that Little Lord Fauntleroy "was the Harry Potter of his time and Frances Hodgson Burnett was as celebrated for creating him as J. K. Rowling is for Potter." During the 1880s, fashions in the book became popular with velvet Lord Fauntleroy suits being sold, as well as other Fauntleroy merchandise such as velvet collars, playing cards, and chocolates. The Reginald Birch illustrations for the 1886 edition sparked a very romantic style of dress for boys which would endure into the early twentieth century.

Un monstruo personal, secreto, privado, es justo lo que andaba necesitando. Sin embargo, convivir con un monstruo nunca es fácil... Y el de Inés parece decidido a no abandonarla.

After the bloody war in which many heroes won and lost, Krishna, the avatar of Vishnu and the king of Dwarka, stood tall as a divine figure of justice and Dharma. But forty years have passed since that day, and now little is known of the elusive god. Pradhyuman, his firstborn son, now rules with an iron fist but his personal ambition seems to come in between. Will it redeem him or corrupt him further? Balaram, the brother of Krishna, and the Prime Minister of Dwarka, must find a way to form an alliance between warring clans. But delusions of a giant snake haunt him at night. Will he learn more about himself or lose a part of his consciousness in the process? Samva, Lord Krishna's secondborn son, has absconded from the pitiful duties of the empire to plan vengeance against someone he personally hates. But, to achieve his goal, he has to first find his father and learn the truth about his heritage. Will he forgive or pursue further? And in the thick of it, stands as a majestic beacon, none other than Krishna--haunted by his past, weary of his future. Can he break the curse and free himself from the shackles of time? From the chapters of the Mausala Parva, bestselling author Kevin Missal reimagines the life and times of Lord Krishna in a brand new avatar.
