Publisher's summary
El eje del argumento es un conflicto amoroso: Fortunata, una mujer de clase baja, se enamora de Juanito Santa Cruz, un señorito burgués, que la seduce pero se casa con Jacinta, burguesa de familia rica de comerciantes. Junto a las desventuras amorosas del trío, al que se sumará Maximiliano Rubín –antítesis de Juanito y con quien se casará Fortunata–, se entretejen muchas otras historias que hacen de Fortunata y Jacinta una novela de novelas. En ella Galdós narra también los hitos históricos que configuraron la época: la revolución de 1868, el asesinato de Prim en 1870, la abdicación del rey Amadeo en 1873, el golpe militar de Pavía en 1874...

Schopenhauer escribió El arte de tener razón (o Dialéctica erística) para sistematizar «las astucias, ardides y bajezas» que empleamos cuando discutimos con la única finalidad de hacer prevalecer nuestras ideas. En la época en que Hegel señalaba la dialéctica como el único camino para alcanzar la culminación del Espíritu, Schopenhauer, su irreductible antagonista, la entendía como el florete a blandir en el particular combate de esgrima que es cualquier discusión.

En un mundo apocalíptico donde llueve ceniza, un hombre y un chico cruzan a pie el territorio norteamericano en dirección al sur. El hambre es mucho más que una preocupación diaria: es la medida de todas las cosas, y las bandas de caníbales asolan el país convertido en un yermo donde solo la barbarie ha echado raíces. El amor de un padre por su hijo es, sin embargo, la única luz de una tierra que ha perdido a sus dioses. Quizá el fuego de la civilización no se haya apagado para siempre.

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.

Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden.

Story
Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.
