Most of the lyrics of love and life, the translations of which from Bengali are published in this book, were written much earlier than the series of religious poems contained in the book named Gitanjali. The translations are not always literal—the originals being sometimes abridged and sometimes paraphrased. (The preface to the 1915 edition) ( Rabindranath Tagore)

Rabindranath Tagore, was a Bengali polymath who reshaped Bengali literature and music, as well as Indian art with Contextual Modernism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Author of Gitanjali and its "profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse", he became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913. In translation his poetry was viewed as spiritual and mercurial; however, his "elegant prose and magical poetry" remain largely unknown outside Bengal. Tagore introduced new prose and verse forms and the use of colloquial language into Bengali literature, thereby ...

Mark Twain's "Death Disk" was inspired by the historical account of the execution of Colonel John Poyer of Pembroke, Wales on April 21, 1649. A small child was given the responsibility of selecting which of three rebel leaders of a civil uprising would receive a death penalty. The unfortunate fate was given to Poyer who was shot in front of a large crowd at Covent Garden. In 1883 Twain read about the child's role in the execution in a copy of Carlyle's Letters and Speeches of Oliver Cromwell, (Wiley & Putnam, 1845, pp. 344-345). In his personal notebook, Twain's imagination led him to remark, ...

El libro de Esdras comienza donde termina 2 Crónicas. Según lo profetizado por Isaías, el rey Ciro de Persia envió a los exiliados, dirigidos por Zorobabel, de regreso a Jerusalén en 538 b.c. (Persia había derrotado a Babilonia en 539). A pesar de la oposición de los habitantes no judíos de Judea, y luego de que los profetas, Hageo y Zacarías los alentaron, el templo fue reconstruido en 515. Luego, en 458, Ezra lideró la segunda de las tres oleadas de exiliados que regresaban. Cuando Esdras llegó, la gente había caído nuevamente en pecado. Esdras predicó la Palabra de Dios y la ...

This satire on the U.S.A.'s myth of being the "Home of the Oppressed, where all men are free and equal", is unrelenting in its pursuit of justice through exposure. It draws a scathingly shameful portrait of how Chinese immigrants were treated in 19th century San Francisco. (Introduction by John Greenman)

En este libro encontramos las historias de Gedeón, Sansón y Dalila, Deborah, y muchas más. Este libro lleva el nombre de Jueces debido a la interesante colección de individuos que dirigieron a Israel desde la muerte de Josué hasta la monarquía bajo Samuel (alrededor de 1380-1050 aC). Era la época del declive nacional. A pesar de la promesa de guardar el pacto (Josué 24: 16-18) el pueblo se apartó del Señor y comenzó a adorar a otros dioses. Todos hacían "lo que era correcto en sus propios ojos" (17: 6, 21:25) Un patrón se repite a través del libro; 1) el pueblo abandona al Señor...

La ficción detectivesca es un subgénero de la novela negra, y paradójicamente también su antecesor. Básicamente podemos definirla como una historia lineal en donde un investigador, oficial o aficionado, estudia un crimen determinado, a menudo un asesinato. El primer detective reconocido mundialmente fue C. Auguste Dupin, de E.A. Poe. Su perfil definió lo que el lector espera de un investigador: intelectualmente brillante, excéntrico, solitario, sin apegos emocionales de ningún tipo. Algunas décadas después, más precisamente en 1887, aparecería otro ícono del cuento de detectives: ...

Pablo establece metas dignas delante del pueblo: vivir en unidad y amor piadosos, ser fuertes en la oración e imitar con gozo el ejemplo de su Salvador, Jesucristo. Los temas centrales son: Un cobarde nunca gana ... un ganador no es cobarde, lo que entra en nuestras mentes, sale en nuestras acciones. Dios nunca falla. El gozo duradero sólo viene por medio de una relación con Jesucristo. Los cristianos también tienen problemas, pero ...

Ivan Matveich, the most ordinary person you might hope to meet, is swallowed alive by a crocodile at a sideshow. Finding life inside the belly of the beast quite comfortable, he makes a home for himself there. His disquisitions on the state of the world from inside the crocodile make him quite a name for himself; while all the while the discussion rages outside as to whether the beast is going to be cut open to release him or not, its value as a sideshow attraction having massively increased owing to the presence of the human voice buried inside it.
