"Anna Karenina es, junto con la monumental Guerra y paz, una de las obras claves de Lev Tolstoi, en la que vemos todas las seänas de identidad del gran realismo ruso: fina crâitica social y multitud de personajes con una profundidad psicolâogica asombrosa. Las desventuras de Anna Karenina y su afâan por integrarse en una sociedad hipâocrita que la margina por adâultera, pero perdona los desmanes de su amante, nos hacen reflexionar sobre la invisibilizaciâon de la mujer a la par que nos ofrecen un fresco monumental de la Rusia decimonâonica y todas sus contradicciones."--Provided by publisher.

The great poet Antonio Machado was initially inspired by modernism, matured as a poet in symbolism and embraced an almost ascetic thought in his aphorisms. His life journey ran from childhood in a courtyard in Seville to maturity as a teacher in the fields of Castile and, finally, Colliure's death in French exile. This selection of poems offers a perfect sample of his work and of his free and unbearable character.

In 1893, Arthur Conan Doyle decided to murder Sherlock Holmes, the most famous detective of all time. The sweeping success of the novels and stories published by The Strand Magazine did not allow him to focus on his historical novels. Thus, he wrote "The Final Problem", which closes this volume, with the intention of concluding this narrative cycle. Readers did not forgive him, and Doyle was forced to resurrect his already immortal character. The 12 stories collected in this volume form a diptych with The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and contain many of the best moments of the so-called "Holmesian canon".
