THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY (VINTAGE CLAS

The Picture of Dorian Gray is Oscar Wilde's enduringly popular story of a beautiful and corrupt man and the portrait that reveals all his secrets.

When his wish comes true, the portrait becomes his hideous secret as he follows a downward trajectory of decadence and cruelty that leaves its traces only in the portrait's degraded image. Wilde's unforgettable portrayal of a Faustian bargain and its consequences is narrated with his characteristic incisive wit and diamond-sharp prose. The result is a novel that is as flamboyant and controversial as its incomparable author.

FRANKENSTEIN

More than 200 years after it was first published, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein has stood the test of time as a gothic masterpiece--a classic work of horror that blurs the line between man and monster. "If I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear." For centuries, the story of Victor Frankenstein and the monster he created has held readers spellbound. On the surface, it is a novel of tense and steadily mounting dread. On a more profound level, it illuminates the triumph and tragedy of the human condition in its portrayal of a scientist who oversteps the bounds of conscience, and of a creature tortured by the solitude of a world in which he does not belong. A novel of almost hallucinatory intensity, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein represents one of the most striking flowerings of the Romantic imagination.

OTRA VEZ TU (SERIE TU 1) (BOL)

¿Existen las segundas oportunidades? Una boda frustrada. Un cálido reencuentro. Esta es la historia de Alex y Emma. Junto a sus dos mejores amigas, Emma deja atrás la ciudad de Nueva York y viaja a California con el firme propósito de pasar las vacaciones con un cóctel en la mano, bajo el sol, en las cálidas playas de la costa. Un plan perfecto. O al menos lo fue hasta que se encontró con Alex, el chico que no solo le rompió el corazón sino que, además, la dejó plantada una semana antes de subir al altar para darse el «sí, quiero». Por desgracia, Alex sigue siendo irresistible. Y, aunque Emma siente debilidad por su mirada azul y su sonrisa canalla, no está dispuesta a volver a caer en sus redes. Todo quedó atrás. Él quedó atrás. Así es como deben ser las cosas. El problema es que «querer» no siempre es suficiente y a veces hay recuerdos que pesan demasiado. «¿Existen las segundas oportunidades? Si eres de las que piensan que el amor no siempre es dos más dos, sino algo así como sesenta y tres por cuatro, divido entre ocho y multiplicado por infinito, tienes que conocer la historia de Alex y Emma».

LORD OF THE FLIES (DELUXE)

As provocative today as when it was first published in 1954, Lord of the Flies continues to ignite passionate debate with its startling, brutal portrait of human nature. William Golding’s compelling story about a group of very ordinary boys marooned on a coral island has been labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, and even a vision of the apocalypse. But above all, it has earned its place as one of the indisputable classics of the twentieth century for readers of any age.
