OXFORD BOOKWORMS 1. SISTER LOVE AND OTHER CRIME STORIES MP3 PACK (ESCOTT, JOHN)
Some sisters are good friends, some are not. Sometimes there is more hate in a family than there is love. Karin is beautiful and has lots of men friends, but she can be very unkind to her sister Marcia. Perhaps when they were small, there was love between them, but that was a long time ago. They say that everybody has one crime in them. Perhaps they only take an umbrella that does not belong to them. Perhaps they steal from a shop, perhaps they get angry and hit someone, perhaps they kill . . .

Este breve ensayo, aparecido en la Westminster Review en 1853 y traducido aquí por primera vez al español, fue el que le concedió a Arthur Schopenhauer el reconocimiento que tanto se había hecho esperar del público anglosajón, primero y, alemán, después, cuando el «sabio misántropo de Frankfurt» se acercaba ya al final de sus días.

CUENTOS DE HADAS VICTORIANOS (ROSSETTI, CHRISTINA / MACDONALD, GEORGE / LEMON, MARK / BROWNE, MAGGIE / DE MORGAN, MARY / MRS. CLIFFORD, / RUSKIN, JOHN)
En este libro, joya exquisita de la literatura victoriana, encontrará el lector algunas de las más admirables historias que sobre hadas, duendes, gnomos y demás criaturas feéricas se han escrito. Son las hadas creaciones de la fantasía, pero también restos de las antiguas divinidades y, sobre todo, sustancias del alma venidas para dar nombre a las inquietudes de la infancia, esa edad misteriosa cuyos recuerdos agitan todavía el agua del espejo y mueven las cortinas del dormitorio. Se reúnen en esta antología obras de algunos de los más grandes autores de la era victoriana: John Ruskin, Lucy Lane Clifford, Mary de Morgan, Maggie Browne, Mark Lemon, George MacDonald y Christina Rossetti. Para ilustrar sus textos se han escogido imágenes de los mejores ilustradores de la época. En su introducción, Jonathan Cott estudia los cuentos desde una perspectiva histórica, explora sus dimensiones espirituales y psicológicas y afirma que fueron estos autores quienes lograron devolver a la literatura inglesa la sabiduría telúrica y animista que la tendencia dominante de la cultura victoriana se empeñaba en denostar.
