Redigido no século IV, entre Antiguidade e Idade Média, as Confissões de Agostinho de Hipona são ainda hoje um livro surpreendente. Por um lado, pela densidade poética e pela originalidade da escrita, e por inaugurar o gênero da autobiografia como história da formação de uma personalidade, elas representam um marco único na história da literatura ocidental. Por outro, Agostinho elabora nelas uma nova maneira de fazer filosofia, estranha à tradição antiga, por ser baseada não apenas em conceitos abstratos e deduções.

En un país indeterminado, en una época tampoco especificada, un extranjero llega a una catedral en construcción para tallar la sillería del coro. Allí, entre andamios, herramientas, albañiles y capataces, descubre una compleja organización gobernada por oscuros personajes que convierten la complicada tarea de erigir el templo en un instrumento para otros fines. Poco a poco, el extranjero se va adentrando en los desconcertantes entresijos de una intriga que desembocará en un final sorprendente.

Hard-working, well-educated, middle- to high-income people often wonder why they haven’t joined the ranks of the affluent—especially when, on paper, they earn enough to get there. Other financial books have shattered myths by showing how most millionaires owe their success to hard work, diligent saving, and living below their means—not lavish spending or astronomical salaries. They’re more likely to quietly accumulate wealth in ordinary neighborhoods than flaunt it in elite zip codes.

Un clásico entre los clásicos de la ciencia ficción. Esta historia, que apareció por primera vez en 1976, fue mi exposición más clarividente del desarrollo de los robots.

No tenía intención de escribir esta historia cuando la empecé, se escribió sola, y se trazó y entrelazó en la máquina de escribir. Acabó siendo la tercera de mis historias favoritas, entre todas las escritas.
