Una obra que merece ser colocada en un segundo lugar de excelencia después de El Quijote, ahora en una nueva edición accesible avalada por la Real Academia Española.Escritos con un lenguaje popular y agudo, los Entremeses retratan escenas de la vida cotidiana llenas de humor, satira y critica social. Cervantes se burla de los vicios y defectos humanos como la avaricia, la hipocresia, el engaño y la falsa honra. Los protagonistas son personajes del pueblo llano, picaros, engañadores, mujeres astutas y maridos celosos, que reflejan con ironia los problemas sociales y morales de la epoca.A traves de situaciones absurdas y dialogos ingeniosos, Cervantes demuestra su maestria en el teatro breve y su vision critica del mundo. Aunque no tuvieron tanto exito en su tiempo como sus novelas, hoy se valoran por su riqueza literaria y su frescura escenica.

El presente volumen es el resultado de varios años de trabajo de la traductora, Cristina Gómez-Baggethun, y reúne cuatro dramas de Henrik Ibsen que complementan los ocho publicados en el primer volumen.En su epoca, sus obras fueron consideradas escandalosas por una sociedad dominada por los valores victorianos, al cuestionar el modelo preponderante de familia y de sociedad. No han perdido vigencia y es uno de los autores no contemporaneos mas representados en la actualidad. Ibsen influyo en otros autores de su tiempo como en los entonces jovenes Strindberg y Chejov.

A 50 años de la publicación de Terra Nostra de Carlos Fuentes, Pedro Ángel Palou nos invita a adentrarnos de nuevo en la monumental novela que transformó para siempre el género de la novela en México y el mundo hispanohablante.INCREIBLE EL PRIMER ANIMAL QUE SOÑO CON OTRO ANIMAL. Asi comienza Terra Nostra, la obra maestra de Carlos Fuentes y nave central en ese complejo narrativo llamado La edad del tiempo, nombre con el que el escritor organizo su monumental bibliografia de ficcion. Medio siglo despues, Terra Nostra no solo es un clasico titulo que merecio de sus lectores y la critica desde su publicacion en 1975, sino el capitulo mexicano de ese sueño y empresa de la literatura moderna llamado novela total.Pedro Angel Palou (autor de otro libro igualmente ambicioso: Mexico. La novela) propone cinco claves para volver a este clasico desde la irreverencia y la certeza de que ningun lector sale indemne de Terra Nostra: el vertigo y la contextura barroca, la densidad del tiempo y una voluntad de comerse al mundo, todo ello se encuentra en esta catedral narrativa que, como uno de sus tantos habitantes, Felipe II, trata de reunir todo en un solo lugar: si el gran rey del imperio español lo intento con la construccion de El Escorial, Fuentes respondio a ese anhelo de totalidad con una novela en la que se confunden el exceso de la lengua (española) y el lenguaje del exceso.Antes que leerla como una obra incomprendida entre las grandes cumbres del boom latinoamericano pese a estar en la misma liga que Conversacion en La Catedral, Cien años de soledad, Paradiso o Rayuela, Pedro Angel Palou concibe a Terra Nostra como ese gran sueño cumplido al que hay que volver: a la vez mausoleo, palacio y laberinto; un edificio y un legado abiertos para las nuevas generaciones de lectores.

Dealers ChoiceI feel its my duty to proclaim it from the rooftops: this is it, this is the play that will remind you, at the end of a year that has contained too few stand-out new-writing hits and far too many musicals, why we go to the theatre - and just how good it can get.TelegraphCloserPatrick Marbers searing follow-up to Dealers Choice establishes him as the leading playwright of his generation.Independent on SundayOne of the best plays of sexual politics in the language: it is right up there with Williamss Streetcar, Mamets Oleanna, Albees Virginia Woolf, Pinters Old Times and Hares Skylight.Sunday TimesHoward KatzAfter Dealers Choice (1995), his gripping study of self-destructive gamblers, and Closer (1997), a thrilling account of love, sex and betrayal, this third instalment of his trilogy set in contemporary London tackles the biggest themes of all - life, death, God and the human soul. Its great to see a contemporary dramatist wrestling with such material.TelegraphDon Juan in SohoOne of the foremost dramatic chroniclers of modern British life. Line by line, this is the best written of all Marbers plays. You want to hang around its phrases (how often does that happen in the theatre?): hardly a minute passes without a satirical swipe, a gutsy joke.ObserverThe Red LionMarber, in this riveting new piece, uses the world of non-league, semi-pro football to explore issues of trust and loyalty and the larger division between individual ambition and the collective ethic. If big issues emerge naturally from the action, it is because Marber is writing about a world he knows intimately. Everything feels right. Guardian
