Rusty James ha conseguido salir adelante pero ha pagado un precio muy alto. Las pequeñas escaramuzas que pronto se convirtieron en asuntos graves, las drogas, las amenazas a la vuelta de cada esquina, el brillo del acero y el olor de la sangre, los reformatorios, tambien las fiestas salvajes y las chicas. Y al fondo de todo la muerte de un buen amigo que marco su vida para siempre.Los personajes de La ley de la calle -llevada al cine por Francis Ford Coppola como Rumble Fish- estan llenos de humanidad y sentimientos, al igual que los protagonistas de Rebeldes, la primera novela con la que Susan E. Hinton sorprendio al mundo.

Nadie dijo que la vida fuera fácil. Pero Ponyboy está bastante seguro de que tiene las cosas controladas. Sabe que puede contar con sus hermanos, Darry y Sodapop. Y sabe que puede contar con sus amigos, amigos de verdad, que harian cualquier cosa por el, como Johnny y Two-Bit. Y en lo que respecta a los socs (una violenta banda de pijos a los que les encanta vapulear a los greasers, como lo son el mismo y sus amigos) sabe que puede contar con ellos para armar broncas. Pero una noche alguien lleva todo esto demasiado lejos y el mundo de Ponyboy da un vuelco inesperado

Adapted into an award-winning film by Francis Ford Coppola, and starring Patrick Swayze, Rob Lowe and Tom Cruise, S.E. Hinton's The Outsiders is a young adult novel of enduring power. This Penguin Modern Classics edition is published with an introduction by Jodi Picoult, author of My Sister's Keeper. The Greasers and the rich-kid Socs are at war on the Tulsa streets. Ponyboy, a fourteen-year-old brawler, chainsmoker and dreamer, is a fiercely loyal greaser. But a single, murderous catastrophe is to wrench him from his old life and overturn everything he thinks he knows. The Outsiders was an audacious debut written when S.E. Hinton was only seventeen, laying bare the hopes and terrors between teenage bravado in a world of drive-ins, drag races and switchblades. It confronted America with a new breed of anti-hero from the wrong side of the class divide, and became a bestselling classic of youthful rebellion. Susan Eloise Hinton (b. 1950) wrote her first book, The Outsiders, in 1967, when she was seventeen years old. Hinton is also the author of That Was When, This Is Now (1971), adapted into a film starring Emilio Estevez and Morgan Freeman; Rumble Fish (1975), also adapted into a film by Francis Ford Coppola, starring Mickey Rourke, Nicholas Cage and Dennis Hopper; Tex (1979); Taming the Star Runner (1988), and many others. Hinton lives in Oklahoma. If you enjoyed The Outsiders, you might like Jack Kerouac's On the Road, also available in Penguin Modern Classics. 'Gritty, emotional and very authentic' Jodi Picoult 'The Outsiders is a teenage epic' Francis Ford Coppola

More from the author whose stories so accurately depict some aspects of adolescent life. "A realistic, but depressing story of two young losers, whose lives, though stark, bleak, and often violent, are memorable and provide many openings for discussion,"Hinton, S. E.

A histora dun neno, un pai, unha nai e Aleasha, unha cadela tan rara que ata sabe escribir. Nick, o neno, quería ter unha irmá ou un irmán. E como os seus pais non puideron cumprirlle ese desexo, fóronlle buscar unha cadela, Aleasha. E a partir de ai e mellor empezar a ler esta historia moi ben contada pola propia Aleasha.
