Eurípides es el más inquieto y apasionado de los tres grandes autores trágicos griegos. Seguramente también es el más influyente, gracias a su sensibilidad poética, más cercana a la actual. A diferencia de Esquilo y Sofocles, que le precedieron, Euripides humaniza y dota de caracter realista al mito, da rienda suelta a los arrebatos poeticos, a la vez que tambien se muestra muy racionalista. En este contraste contradictorio radica parte de su encanto y de su modernidad. El tercer y ultimo volumen que recoge las tragedias completas de Euripides en la Biblioteca Clasica incluye: Helena, Las fenicias, Orestes, Ifigenia en Aulide, Las bacantes y la debatida Reso.

Publicadas de manera privada y durante mucho tiempo consideradas textos "prohibidos", Tradiciones en Salsa Verde reúne el lado más irreverente, picante y satírico de Ricardo Palma.Con el ingenio narrativo que caracteriza al autor peruano, estas historias breves mezclan erotismo insinuado, humor criollo y critica social. A traves de anecdotas coloniales, personajes pintorescos y situaciones cargadas de doble sentido, Palma despliega una mirada aguda sobre las costumbres, la moral y las contradicciones de su tiempo.Lejos del tono solemne de otras obras historicas, este conjunto revela una faceta mas libre y desenfadada del gran tradicionista, manteniendo siempre la elegancia literaria y el dominio del lenguaje que lo consagraron como una figura central de la literatura hispanoamericana.Una obra imprescindible para quienes desean descubrir el costado mas audaz y menos conocido de Ricardo Palma.

Hay un jardín claro, entre las tapias bajas,hecho de hierbas secas y de luz que cuece lentasu tierra. Es una luz que sabe a mar.Tú respiras esa hierba. Te tocas el peloy alteras el recuerdo.He visto caer muchosfrutos, maduros, en una hierba que conozco,con un ruido sordo. Asi te estremecescuando te bulle la sangre. Mueves la cabezacomo si alrededor sucediese un prodigio del airey el prodigio eres tu. Hay un sabor identicoen tus ojos y en el calido recuerdo. Si en algo cree Pavese es en la renovacion de la lirica. El poeta alberga grandes sueños. Busca incansablemente aunar tradicion e innovacion, hilvana los textos a modo de un cancionero que renueve y aporte una vision novedosa a la larga tradicion lirica italiana. Cada poeta persigue un movimiento ascendente o descendente, un elemento natural o un espacio determinado. El tono que predomina en Pavese, avivado por los elementos de la tierra y el fuego, no deja lugar a dudas. Esta es una poesia del acabamiento, de los ritos fatuos, de la catabasis. Aitana Monzon
