When Clara returns home from the convent of her childhood to begin life at a local girls' school, she is at a loss: although she has comparative freedom, she misses the discipline the nuns imposed and worries about keeping her faith in a secular world. Against the background of the First World War, Clara experiences the confusions of adolescence—its promise, its threat of change. She longs for love, yet fears it, and wonders what the future will hold. Then tragedy strikes and her childhood haltingly comes to an end as she realizes that neither parents nor her faith can help her.

Wenn Goethe im ersten Teil des Faust noch zwischen Gelehrten- und Gretchendrama unterteilt, so ist im zweiten Teil ganz klar Faust und seine Entwicklung Hauptthema. Nachdem er mit Mephistopheles am Ende des ersten Teils die Flucht ergriff, entwickelt er sich im zweiten Teil stetig weiter, wird Künstler, Zeitreisender, Gatte der schönen Helena, Herrscher - es ist ein wahres Füllhorn der menschlichen Entwicklung, das Goethe hier ausschüttet! Ein großartiger Reigen überschäumender Kreativität, das ist der Tragödie zweiter Teil.

Thus he takes his first dangerous steps, writing a diary of his doubts and then falling in love with a woman of the Party, the beautiful and brave Julia.

No existe en la historia de la literatura una parábola más sencilla y luminosa que la de Sherezada y Sahrigar para explicar la razón de ser de la ficción en la vida de los seres humanos. Para Sherezada contar cuentos que capturen la atención del Rey es cuestión de vida o muerte. Si Sahrigar se desinteresa o se aburre de sus historias, será entregada al verdugo con las primeras luces del alba. Ese peligro mortal aguza su fantasía y la lleva, sin saberlo, a descubrir que el mundo de la ficción es, como el mundo real, uno, diverso e irrompible.

¿Vivió Odiseo las historias maravillosas que refiere a los deslumbrados feacios en la corte del rey Alcino? No hay manera de saberlo. Pudiera ser que sí y que su excelente memoria y su habilidad narradora enriquecieran sus credenciales de hombre de acción. Pero podría ser también que fuera un genial embaucador, el primero de esa estirpe de grandes fabricantes de mentiras literarias , tan seductoras que los lectores las vuelven a veces verdaderas, creyendo en ellas: los fabuladores.

Claude McKay’s first novel, Home to Harlem, was published in 1928 during the height of the Harlem Renaissance. McKay portrays Harlem post-WWI, through Jake, an African American longshoreman who deserts the U.S. army and returns to his home in Harlem, and Ray, a Haitian intellectual expatriate. With his use of dialect, McKay portrays these men and other working-class characters who try to stay afloat in a complex world of isolation, racial discrimination, and excitement drawn from Harlem’s jazz nightlife.

Written over the course of three days and three nights, The Subterraneans was generated out of the same kind of ecstatic flash of inspiration that produced another one of Kerouac’s early classics, On the Road. Centering around the tempestuous romance and breakup of Leo Percepied and Mardou Fox—two denizens of the 1950s San Francisco underground—The Subterraneans is a tale of dark alleys and smoky rooms, of artists, visionaries, and adventurers existing outside mainstream America’s field of vision.

In every corner of every room is the phantom of his beautiful first wife, Rebecca, and the new Mrs de Winter walks in her shadow.
