Niebla
Niebla
Miguel De Unamuno
¥9.00
No es una novela. Es una "nivola", según su autor. Nuevo género creado por Unamuno, no tuvo mucho arraigo, pero aún así Niebla es una de las obras de ficción más importantes del escritor vasco. El libro aborda la inseguridad del hombre moderno que se preocupa por su destino y su mortalidad. El título está cargado de significado, dado que el libro difumina la línea entre la ficción y la realidad. También son nebulosas las descripciones físicas de los personajes y lugares, y hasta pone en duda la naturaleza de la existencia humana.

La tía Tula, es, según su autor, ?la historia de una joven que, rechazando novios, se queda soltera para cuidar a unos sobrinos, hijos de una hermana que se le muere.

Satisfecho el instinto de maternidad, ?para qué perder su virginidad? Es virgen madre?. Pero sobre este ca?amazo argumental teje Unamuno una obra cargada de sentidos plurales: Tula, la protagonista, que encarna la concepción tradicional de la familia y de la mujer y que es, a al vez, víctima de ella, ejemplifica la figura del agonista unamuniano dividido en mil contradicciones.
The Gentleman from Indiana
The Gentleman from Indiana
Newton Booth Tarkington
¥9.00
There is a fertile stretch of flat lands in Indiana where unagrarian Eastern travellers, glancing from car-windows, shudder and return their eyes to interior upholstery, preferring even the swaying caparisons of a Pullman to the monotony without. The landscape lies interminably level: bleak in winter, a desolate plain of mud and snow; hot and dusty in summer, in its flat lonesomeness, miles on miles with not one cool hill slope away from the sun.

The Beautiful Lady
The Beautiful Lady
Newton Booth Tarkington
¥9.00
"The Beautiful Lady", is another of the short novels from Booth Tarkington's early career. It was originally published in two parts, December of 1904 and January of 1905, in "Harper's Magazine", and then as Tarkington's fifth book in May of 1905. As with many of Tarkington's other works, it is a bit too predictable, though in this case that doesn't detract too much from the story. The story appears to sets up a love triangle (or in this case it may be a love square), but it does deviate from that a bit. The story is told from the point of the Italian, Ansolini from Naples, living in Paris who due to being down on his luck is forced into a most embarrassing position of acting as a billboard by shaving his head and having an advertisement for a show placed on the back of his bald head. It is while performing this job, that he nearly meets the "beautiful lady", though he keeps his head down and sees only her feet and the hem of her skirt and hears her lovely voice as it has sympathy for his plight. In fact, Ansolini's feelings are appreciative of her beautiful soul, and not that of romance.
