This Work contains an active table of contents (HTML), which makes reading easier to make it more enjoyable. Heart of Darkness is a novella written by Polish-born writer Joseph Conrad (born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski). Before its 1902 publication, it appeared as a three-part series (1899) in Blackwood's Magazine. It is widely regarded as a significant work of English literature and part of the Western canon. This highly symbolic story is actually a story within a story, or frame narrative. It follows Marlow as he recounts, from dusk through to late night, his adventure into the Congo to a group of men aboard a ship anchored in the Thames Estuary. The story details an incident when Marlow, an Englishman, took a foreign assignment as a ferry-boat captain, employed by a Belgian trading company. Although the river is never specifically named, readers may assume it is the Congo River, in the Congo Free State, a private colony of King Leopold II. Marlow is employed to transport ivory downriver; however, his more pressing assignment is to return Kurtz, another ivory trader, to civilization in a cover up. Kurtz has a reputation throughout the region.

A. N. Wilson's Tolstoy is a highly intelligent and accessible biography of the most famous writer in the Russian canon. In this biography of Count Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy, A.N. Wilson narrates the complex drama of the writer's life: his childhood of aristocratic privilege but emotional deprivation, his discovery of his literary genius after aimless years of gambling and womanizing, and his increasingly disastrous marriage. Wilson sweeps away the long-held belief that Tolstoy's works were the exact mirror of his life, and instead traces the roots of Tolstoy's art to his relationship with God, with women, and with Russia. He also recreates the world that shaped the great novelist's life and art - the turmoil of ideas and politics in 19th-century Russia and the literary renaissance that made Tolstoy's work possible. Magisterial... Wilson has an advantage over a mere biographer, looking not to judge his subject but to fully understand the inspirations behind his great works - Daily Express

An aging Messenger takes his armor out of storage for one last adventure. Six-year-old Briar Damaj, a half Krasian boy in the tiny village of Bogton, is used to being tormented by his siblings, and the villagers who call him Mudboy. When an attack leaves him orphaned, Briar feels he has no choice but to flee into the demon-infested bog where chances of survival seem hopeless. Ragen, a Messenger and friend of Briar's father, hunts for days through fetid swampland before giving the boy up for dead and retiring from his dangerous career. A decade later, Ragen receives news that Briar has survived against all odds, living alone in the wetlands like an animal. Unable to bear it, Ragen puts on his old armor and sets out for one last adventure to bring Briar home. A tale set between The Daylight War and The Skull Throne of Peter V. Brett's internationally bestselling Demon Cycle series, Messenger's Legacy can be enjoyed both as a standalone and part of the larger series, which has sold over 4M copies in 27 languages worldwide. Praise for Messenger's Legacy: A great short story, and also a great lead-in to the fourth novel in the series, The Skull Throne. ... This series has my highest recommendation. A must-read." — Civilian Reader "The amount of depth that Brett manages to get into his short stories and novellas never ceases to amaze me and Messenger's Legacy is no exception [...] Once again, I thoroughly enjoyed getting stuck into Brett's world and my only disappointment was that it ended so quickly." — SFcrowsnest Friendship, love, bravery and survival against the odds are key themes in all of Peter's work and you will find them weaved artistically within this novella – a wonderful addition to The Demon Cycle canon." — Fantasy Faction

El descubrimiento de América marcó el encuentro entre dos mundos radicalmente distintos. Se desarrolló entonces una extraordinaria empresa dirigida a captar y describir las particularidades de los idiomas nativos. Esta obra analiza y valora dos gramáticas con que se abrió camino a la comprensión de la Babel americana: Arte de la lengua mexicana de fray Andrés de Olmos, misionero convertido en lingüista, quien logró una honda captación del náhuatl, y Arte de la lengua de Michuacán de fray Maturino Gilberti, que fijó un nuevo canon y nos legó la primera gramática impresa en el Nuevo Mundo.

Considerado un texto clave en la historia del alpinismo, el ascenso a esta montaña de la Provenza francesa por parte del poeta Petrarca, en compañía de su hermano Gherardo, constituye un episodio nada frecuente en la época. Parece que tan extraño impulso de los hermanos tuvo por deseo imitar la ascensión de Filipo V de Macedonia al monte Hemo de Tesalia, una ascensión narrada por Tito Livio, con la excusa de contemplar los mares Adriático y Euxino. Petrarca da cuenta en esta carta de las emociones que le suscita la aventura y se deleita en la contemplación del paisaje, como podría hacerlo un montañero de nuestros días. Solo que lleva consigo las Confesiones de san Agustín y con ellas la tiesura entre cierto canon moral sobre la metáfora de elevación que sustrae de la propia montaña y el placer sublime y sensual que procura la experiencia de la escalada y la percepción estética de la naturaleza.
