Washington Square is a short novel by Henry James. Originally published in 1880 as a serial in Cornhill Magazine and Harper's New Monthly Magazine, it is a structurally simple tragicomedy that recounts the conflict between a dull but sweet daughter and her brilliant, unemotional father. The plot of the novel is based upon a true story told to James by his close friend, British actress Fanny Kemble. The book is often compared with Jane Austen's work for the clarity and grace of its prose and its intense focus on family relationships. James was not a great fan of Washington Square itself. He tried to read it over for inclusion in the New York Edition of his fiction (1907–1909) but found that he could not, so the novel was not included. Other readers, though, have sufficiently enjoyed the book to make it one of the more popular works of the Jamesian canon. The bitterest irony in the story is that Dr. Sloper, a brilliant and successful physician, is exactly right about Morris Townsend, and yet he is cruel to his defenseless and loving daughter. If the doctor had been incorrect in his appraisal of the worthless Townsend, he would be only a stock villain. As it is, the doctor's head functions perfectly but his heart has grown cold after the death of his beautiful and gifted wife. Catherine gradually grows throughout the story, ultimately gaining the ability to judge her situation accurately. As James puts it: "From her point of view the great facts of her career were that Morris Townsend had trifled with her affection, and that her father had broken its spring. Nothing could ever alter these facts; they were always there, like her name, her age, her plain face. Nothing could ever undo the wrong or cure the pain that Morris had inflicted on her, and nothing could ever make her feel towards her father as she felt in her younger years." Catherine will never be brilliant, but she learns to be clear-sighted.

Diese Ausgabe enthält sowohl die deutsche Übersetzung als auch den englischen Originaltext. "Bartleby der Schreiber" ist der deutsche Titel der amerikanischen Erzählung "Bartleby the Scrivener" von Herman Melville. Es ist das erste Werk, das Melville nach Moby Dick schrieb, und wurde zunächst 1853 in "Putnam’s Monthly Magazine" veröffentlicht und dann 1856 in die "Piazza Tales" aufgenommen. Viele Kritiker sehen in ihr die beste Erzählung Melvilles und sie wird manchmal mit "Der Mantel" von Gogol verglichen. Sie weist aber auch auf das 20. Jahrhundert, vor allem auf Kafka, voraus. "Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street" (1853) is a short story by the American writer Herman Melville, first serialized anonymously in two parts in the November and December editions of "Putnam's Magazine", and reprinted with minor textual alterations in his "The Piazza Tales" in 1856. Numerous essays are published on what according to scholar Robert Milder "is unquestionably the masterpiece of the short fiction" in the Melville canon.

The War of the Worlds is one of the earliest stories that detail a conflict between mankind and an extraterrestrial race. It is the first-person narrative of an unnamed protagonist in Surrey and that of his younger brother in London as Earth is invaded by Martians. The novel is one of the most commented-on works in the science fiction canon. The War of the Worlds has two parts, Book One: The Coming of the Martians and Book Two: The Earth under the Martians. The unnamed narrator, a philosophically inclined author, struggles to return to his wife while seeing the Martians lay waste to the southern country outside London. Book One also imparts the experience of his brother, also unnamed, who describes events as they deteriorate in the capital, forcing him to escape the Martian onslaught by boarding a paddle steamer near Tillingham, on the Essex coast. Herbert George Wells (1866-1946), known as H. G. Wells, was a prolific English writer in many genres, including the novel, history, politics, and social commentary, and textbooks and rules for war games.

El cristianismo es la religión que significó el inicio de una época y fundó las bases de nuestra cultura de Occidente. Sin embargo, a veces resulta de interés recordar elementos clave respecto a la doctrina que ha conformado nuestro contexto cultural durante siglos. Este libro trata de cómo se formó su ideario y cuáles fueron los principales ideólogos de los dogmas cristianos, qué tomó de otras religiones y qué fue original y propio, de cómo se decidió el canon de escrituras sagradas y qué textos se dejaron al margen o qué características distinguían a aquellos primeros cristianos. La obra incluye el Evangelio de María Magdalena un apócrifo gnóstico que muestra la existencia de "otro cristianismo" al margen de la doctrina triunfante.
