A traves de dialogos, poemas y relatos intercalados, Cervantes explora temas como el amor no correspondido, la amistad, la libertad personal y la belleza.

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.

Com sua prosa entrecortada, experimental e cheia de provocaçes, Oswald de Andrade entrega em Serafim Ponte Grande mais do que um romance: oferece um manifesto em forma de ficço, um ataque frontal a hipocrisia burguesa, a mediocridade institucional e a pasmaceira do espirito conservador. E um livro que no se le, mas se engole com o estomago revirado.Um dos marcos mais incendiarios da literatura brasileira, Serafim Ponte Grande, de Oswald de Andrade, retorna as livrarias em nova ediço pela Global Editora. Lançado originalmente em 1933, o romance reaparece como um espelho rachado da sociedade brasileira fragmentado, caustico e ferozmente atual.Serafim, o personagem-titulo, e um alter ego tragicomico do autor, preso entre a rotina do funcionalismo publico, as presses conjugais, as aventuras boemias e as aspiraçes intelectuais. Em um Brasil que cambaleia entre o feudalismo tropical e a caricatura do progresso, Serafim e um corpo fora do eixo dançarino, professor, libertino, sonhador, naufrago. O mundo ao seu redor e comico e grotesco, um teatro de absurdos que expe a miseria etica das instituiçes e o conservadorismo das convençes.Com ritmo de colagem, o romance e construido em blocos narrativos ora liricos, ora farsescos, atravessados por cronicas, anedotas, falas teatrais e poemas. E um caleidoscopio literario em que a forma acompanha a revolta do conteudo herança direta da proposta antropofagica de Oswald, que mastiga a cultura europeia para reinventar uma estetica brasileira genuina e insubmissa.O posfacio assinado por Americo Faco prope uma releitura critica da obra sob o prisma do modernismo e de suas repercusses no seculo XXI, estabelecendo conexes entre o espirito insurrecional de Oswald e as lutas simbolicas da contemporaneidade da arte as ciencias humanas, da critica cultural a politica identitaria.

Edición de Luis Gómez Canseco.Vida, ascendencia, nacimiento, crianza y aventurasdel doctor don Diego de Torres Villarroel fue publicada por primera vez en 1743. Esta autobiografía novelada y novelesca se convirtio en un exito inmediato.La historia comienza con un protagonista que parece ir para picaro, pero que termina prefiriendo la vida acomodada de un rentista. De una pagina a otra lo vemos ejercer de estudiante, de truhan, ermitaño, bailarin, medico, torero, soldado, bordador, adivino, profesor, astrologo, hombre de Iglesia, polemista, peregrino, exiliado, delincuente, rastreador de duendes, charlatan, paseante refinado por la corte, actor, sabio o loco.A pesar de la buena fortuna de la Vida entre los editores modernos, la edicion de Luis Gomez Canseco para la BCRAE puede considerarse la primera plenamente atenta a todos los pormenores del texto, y nos devuelve una imagen del autor muy distinta a la del escritor negligente que el mismo quiso atribuirse. La anotacion y el estudio completan una rigurosa aproximacion a esta obra capital del pleno Setecientos.
