Fernando Cordova, Nahuel Sugobono
Longseller, 2005
great
This and the others in this series are wonderful books.They are written by people who know what they are talking about. My students love them! They present an important part of cultural heritage in a very lively and engaging way. The language level is fine for upper grade elementary literate in Spanish, but is also appropriate for middle or high school.

El Llamado De La Selva / The Call of the Wild (Clasicos De Siempre / Forever Classics)1 review
Cristina Viturro
Longseller, 2005
Gripping story in both English and Spanish
I teach high school Spanish and I listen to these audio books while driving, both for entertainment and to improve my Spanish. I had read Call of the Wild in English fifty years ago, and couldn't wait to hear it in Spanish. It was just as spellbinding! The reader was reading for a native-speaker audience, so I had to listen to it three times to catch everything. And I enjoyed all three ...

Diario de Ana Frank by Anne Frank
Excellent book. I teach mostly Hispanic students. We read the English and Spanish version simultaneously. It really helped them understand. I always tell them it only takes one person to change the world, even a little 14 year old German girl. Now they understand.Well written, clearly translated.

Asi Hablaba Zaratustra1 review
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
Longseller, 2000
Obra maestra
Asi hablo Zaratustra es una obra maestra de la filosofia contemporanea. Jamas he deseado conocer otro idioma (el aleman) tanto como al leer este libro. Esta obra escrita en parabolas, para acentuar su similitud con la Biblia, despliega el pensamiento filosofico de uno de los hombres mas estudiados de la historia, llevada de la mano de una maestria estetica solo comparable con obras como La Divina ...

Ecce Homo 13 reviews
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
Longseller, 2002
Wonderful Self-Portrait
Nietzsche's literary addendum to his philosophical oeuvre is, at its root, a radically modern autobiography. Written weeks before his collapse into paralysis, these are the final reflections of cogency from this great thinker; the sections are indeed self-inflated and passionate, with titles like `Why I am So Wise,' and `Why I am So Clever,' etc. However, Nietzsche is finally dubious about his ...

Benito Cereno 2 reviews
Herman Melville
Longseller, 2003
The most intense short story ever written
A most powerful story by a most powerful author. The suspense will force you to skip pages, just to see what all the "building up" of emotion and doubt is all about. Highly satisfying. Don't be surprised to find yourself thinking about this story for weeks after you've completed it.

Benito Perez Galdos
Longseller, 2006
My favorite on the Generation of '98
Benito Pérez Galdós is my favorite novelist in the Generation of 1898 of the Spanish Literature. I read this book in High School and I could barely take my eyes out of it by the moment I started reading. The context of the novel is the Battle of Trafalgar and the decadence of Spain.

un buen libro.
este libro es bueno aunque su final me parezca horrendo y termine defraudando al lector que espera quizas algo mas tragico. la novela se desarrolla bien y causo un estrago tremendo para la epoca ya que fue prohibida y su escritor fue clasificado como un pervertido. el libro trata sobre la liberacion a travesz de la pasion carnal. se deja leer y es una buena obra para empezar a leer a este ...

George Gordon Byron, Baron Byron
Longseller, 2001
Missing the Boat
I'm writing this to specifically respond to the remarks made by another reviewer condemning Byron for forced rhymes, self-conscious commentary, and the lack of a good finish. WARNING: This poem is intended to be funny! Byron delighted in using the jangly sounds of feminine rhymes in the most outlandish fashion possible, and his digressions are what truly make this poem enjoyable; that voice is ...

This handbook is probably the most complete book in spanish on the subject.

Federico Garcia Lorca
Longseller, 2005
Yerma
When reading Lorca's plays you have to remember that they are in fact Plays and are not meant to be read but to be preformed. They weren't created to specifically entertain but were supposed to be a photographic representation of life in rural spain during the 1930's. Yerma is a story about a woman pressured by societal expectations to have children. When she finds out that she can not conceive ...

A Simple Tale of Complex Pasison
This affordably-priced edition of Salome contains all the Aubrey Beardsley drawings and is the English translation undertaken by Lord Alfred Douglas of Wilde's most brilliant tale of passion, which was originally written in French to avoid (unsuccessfully) Victorian censorship. Salome is a simple tale of complex passion. Wilde's heroine bears no resemblance to her biblical origin. His Salome ...
