Story
Julien Sorel es un plebeyo provinciano, inconformista y rebelde que, si bien carece de recursos, ha recibido del bondadoso cura de su pueblo una educación privilegiada. Ello, unido a su afán de poder y a la seducción que ejerce sobre las mujeres, despierta en él la inquebrantable resolución de hacer fortuna. La ascensión y caída de Sorel darán pie a una vívida descripción de una época que no ha ajustado cuentas con el pasado. Compleja y poderosa, esta obra cumbre del XIX sitúa a su autor como el primer novelista de genio de la era burguesa.

Junio de 1960. Un temporal mantiene aisladas en la idílica isla de Utakos, frente a Corfú, a nueve personas alojadas en el pequeño hotel local. Nada hace presagiar lo que está a punto de ocurrir: Edith Mander, una discreta turista inglesa, aparece muerta en el pabellón de la playa. Lo que parece un suicidio revela indicios imperceptibles para cualquiera salvo para Hopalong Basil, un actor en decadencia que en otro tiempo encarnó en la pantalla al más célebre detective de todos los tiempos.

En 1571, tras sufrir un accidente montando a caballo, Michel de Montaigne abandona su posición como magistrado de Burdeos para retirarse a su castillo y empezar a escribir. Ese es el inicio, casi novelesco, de una de las obras más importantes de la cultura occidental. «No enseño ni adoctrino, lo que hago es relatar», afirma Montaigne. Y entretanto dialoga con los pensadores clásicos sobre todo tipo de cuestiones relativas a la condición humana.

La odisea de Lucien Rubempré desde la inocencia de su Angulema natal hasta el fango del fracaso constituye uno de los periplos narrativos más audaces, embelesadores e imponentes de la narrativa del siglo XIX.

La familia de Pascual Duarte vio la luz en 1942 y tuvo un enorme impacto en el panorama literario español del momento. Primer libro de Camilo José Cela, supuso un valioso punto de partida para la narrativa española de posguerra. La vida trágica de su arquetípico protagonista, gobernada por la más salvaje violencia, era un comentario indirecto sobre la barbarie padecida por los españoles durante la recién concluida Guerra Civil, al tiempo que daba carta de naturaleza a una tendencia literaria renovadora, luego conocida como «tremendismo».

Esta es la historia de Hans Castorp, un joven y modesto ingeniero que llega a un sanatorio ubicado en los Alpes suizos para visitar a su primo. La estancia que preveía corta se dilata en el tiempo y acaba formando parte de esta nueva forma de vida en la que se relativiza el transcurso del tiempo. Sentado en el balcón del sanatorio y envuelto en una manta, Hans reflexiona acerca de la vida, la muerte y el amor. El resultado es una de las grandes obras maestras de la literatura universal.

The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.
