The Odyssey - Homer & Emily Wilson Cover Art

The Odyssey

The Odyssey by Homer & Emily Wilson

Homer’s great epic of a hero’s journey home—inspiration for the major motion picture by Christopher Nolan—in a bold, contemporary, and refreshingly readable translation. "Wilson’s language is fresh, unpretentious and lean. . . . It is rare to find a translation that is at once so effortlessly easy to read and so rigorously considered." —Madeline Miller, author of Circe Composed at the rosy-fingered dawn of world literature almost three millennia ago, The Odyssey is a poem about violence and the aftermath of war; about wealth, poverty, and power; about marriage and family; about travelers, hospitality, and the yearning for home. This fresh, authoritative translation captures the beauty of this ancient poem as well as the drama of its narrative. Its characters are unforgettable, none more so than the “complicated” hero himself, a man of many disguises, many tricks, and many moods, who emerges in this version as a more fully rounded human being than ever before. Written in iambic pentameter verse and a vivid, contemporary idiom, Emily Wilson’s Odyssey sings with a voice that echoes the epic’s music, sailing along at Homer’s swift, smooth pace. A fascinating, informative introduction explores the Bronze Age milieu that produced the epic, the poem’s major themes, the controversies about its origins, and the unparalleled scope of its impact and influence. Maps drawn especially for this volume, a pronunciation glossary, and extensive notes and summaries of each book make this an Odyssey that will be treasured by a new generation of readers.

The Iliad - Homer & Emily Wilson Cover Art

The Iliad

The Iliad by Homer & Emily Wilson

“Wilson’s Iliad is clear and brisk, its iambic pentameter a zone of enchantment.” —Ange Mlinko, London Review of Books The greatest literary landmark of antiquity masterfully rendered by the most celebrated translator of our time. When Emily Wilson’s translation of The Odyssey appeared in 2017—revealing the ancient poem in a contemporary idiom that was “fresh, unpretentious and lean” (Madeline Miller, Washington Post)—critics lauded it as “a revelation” (Susan Chira, New York Times) and “a cultural landmark” (Charlotte Higgins, Guardian) that would forever change how Homer is read in English. Now Wilson has returned with an equally revelatory translation of Homer’s other great epic—the most revered war poem of all time. The Iliad roars with the clamor of arms, the bellowing boasts of victors, the fury and grief of loss, and the anguished cries of dying men. It sings, too, of the sublime magnitude of the world—the fierce beauty of nature and the gods’ grand schemes beyond the ken of mortals. In Wilson’s hands, this thrilling, magical, and often horrifying tale now gallops at a pace befitting its legendary battle scenes, in crisp but resonant language that evokes the poem’s deep pathos and reveals palpably real, even “complicated,” characters—both human and divine. The culmination of a decade of intense engagement with antiquity’s most surpassingly beautiful and emotionally complex poetry, Wilson’s Iliad now gives us a complete Homer for our generation.

If You Love That Lady - Maya C. Popa Cover Art

If You Love That Lady

If You Love That Lady Poems by Maya C. Popa

“One of my generation’s finest poets—a truly peerless voice. . . . An immense book and a searing achievement.” —Ocean Vuong, author of The Emperor of Gladness The stunning third collection from award-winning poet Maya C. Popa dramatizes the paradox of correspondence: the private worlds shaped by the act of writing, and the charged silences that follow. Drawing from nineteenth-century courtship letters, the collection lingers in the rush of love and its fallout: “Happiness was no small thing, / but neither was its cost.” Delivered with piercing elegance and signature wit—“What a formidable excuse he was. / What a pair of borrowed eyes / with a side of Keats”—these poems remind us that our appetites, like poetry, depend on revelation and restraint alike. Set in America, England, and Romania, these poems are part elegy to the passing of impossible things, part ars poetica of remaking. If You Love That Lady explores the inventive, relentless drive of longing, proving that what breaks us open at last reveals us to ourselves. From “Dark Matter”: Desire’s what’s the matter with our lives, a sea parting to reveal another sea. Its command renews, swells and beckons: you’d be a fool not to love until the last second.

The Epic of Gilgamesh - Anonymous & Andrew George Cover Art

The Epic of Gilgamesh

The Epic of Gilgamesh by Anonymous & Andrew George

The ancient Sumerian poem The Epic of Gilgamesh is one of the oldest written stories in existence, translated with an introduction by Andrew George in Penguin Classics. Miraculously preserved on clay tablets dating back as much as four thousand years, the poem of Gilgamesh, king of Uruk, is the world's oldest epic, predating Homer by many centuries. The story tells of Gilgamesh's adventures with the wild man Enkidu, and of his arduous journey to the ends of the earth in quest of the Babylonian Noah and the secret of immortality. Alongside its themes of family, friendship and the duties of kings, The Epic of Gilgamesh is, above all, about mankind's eternal struggle with the fear of death. The Babylonian version has been known for over a century, but linguists are still deciphering new fragments in Akkadian and Sumerian. Andrew George's gripping translation brilliantly combines these into a fluid narrative and will long rank as the definitive English Gilgamesh . If you enjoyed The Epic of Gilgamesh , you might like Homer's Iliad , also available in Penguin Classics. 'A masterly new verse translation' The Times 'Andrew George has skilfully bridged the gap between a scholarly re-edition and a popular work' London Review of Books

Lift Every Voice is a staggering tribute to personal and collective evolutions, a vital chorus that answers only to God, community, and the empowered self.

The Selected Poems of Yang Wan-li - David Hinton Cover Art

The Selected Poems of Yang Wan-li

The Selected Poems of Yang Wan-li by David Hinton

An expansive selection of poems from the last giant of classical Chinese poetry’s golden age, Yang Wan-li (1127–1206 c.e.), masterfully translated by David Hinton. A typical Yang Wan-li poem attends to immediate experience with profound clarity, and this attention usually leads to a moment of sudden awakening: a startling image or turn of thought, a surprising imaginative gesture, a twist of humor. As a government official, Yang undertook many long and arduous journeys that exposed him to both breathtaking landscapes and hardships of hunger, exhaustion, bitter weather, and dangerous rapids in stark gorges. It is in this crucible of tranquil beauty and existential danger that he forged a poetry of self-realization deeply informed by Ch’an (Zen) Buddhist insight. With nothing more than a crystalline attention to the present moment, Yang’s poems find enlightenment everywhere: in a fly, for instance, sunning on a windowsill. Hinton’s translations give a remarkably modern voice to Yang’s journeys through the perennial mysteries of consciousness, revealing for a new generation why his poetry has captivated readers for nearly a millennium.

The Odyssey - Homer, Robert Fagles & Bernard Knox Cover Art

The Odyssey

The Odyssey by Homer, Robert Fagles & Bernard Knox

The great epic of Western literature, translated by the acclaimed classicist Robert Fagles Soon to be a major motion picture directed by Christopher Nolan A Penguin Classic Robert Fagles, winner of the PEN/Ralph Manheim Medal for Translation and a 1996 Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, presents us with Homer's best-loved and most accessible poem in a stunning modern-verse translation. "Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns driven time and again off course, once he had plundered the hallowed heights of Troy." So begins Robert Fagles' magnificent translation of the Odyssey , which Jasper Griffin in the New York Times Book Review hails as "a distinguished achievement." If the Iliad is the world's greatest war epic, the Odyssey is literature's grandest evocation of an everyman's journey through life. Odysseus' reliance on his wit and wiliness for survival in his encounters with divine and natural forces during his ten-year voyage home to Ithaca after the Trojan War is at once a timeless human story and an individual test of moral endurance. In the myths and legends retold here, Fagles has captured the energy and poetry of Homer's original in a bold, contemporary idiom, and given us an Odyssey to read aloud, to savor, and to treasure for its sheer lyrical mastery. Renowned classicist Bernard Knox's superb introduction and textual commentary provide insightful background information for the general reader and scholar alike, intensifying the strength of Fagles's translation. This is an Odyssey to delight both the classicist and the general reader, to captivate a new generation of Homer's students. This Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition features French flaps and deckle-edged paper. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Letters to a Young Poet - Rainer Maria Rilke Cover Art

Letters to a Young Poet

Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke

At the start of the twentieth century, Rainer Maria Rilke wrote a series of letters to a young officer cadet, advising him on writing, love, sex, suffering and the nature of advice itself; these profound and lyrical letters have since become hugely influential for writers and artists of all kinds. This book also contains the 'Letter from a Young Worker', a striking polemic against Christianity written in letter-form, near the end of Rilke's life. In Lewis Hyde's introduction, he explores the context in which these letters were written and how the author embraced his isolation as a creative force. Charlie Louth's afterword discusses the similarities and contrasts of the two works, and Rilke's religious and sexual wordplay. This edition also contains a chronology, notes, and suggested further reading.

A Gentle Reminder - Bianca Sparacino Cover Art

A Gentle Reminder

A Gentle Reminder by Bianca Sparacino

A gentle reminder, for the days you feel light in this world, and for the days in which the sun rises a little slower. A gentle reminder for when your heart is full of hope, and for when you are learning how to heal it. A gentle reminder for when you finally begin to trust in the goodness, and for when you need the kind of words that hug your broken pieces back together. A gentle reminder for when growth hangs heavy in the air, for when you need to tuck your strength into your bones just to make it to tomorrow. A gentle reminder for when you are balancing the messiness, and the beauty, of what it means to be human, when you are teaching yourself that it is okay to be both happy and sad, that you are real, not perfect. A gentle reminder for when you seek the words you needed when you were younger. A gentle reminder for when you need to hear that you deserve to be loved the way you love others. A gentle reminder for when you need to recognize that you are not your past, that you are not your faults. A gentle reminder for when you need to believe in staying soft, in continuing to be the kind of person who cares. A gentle reminder for when you need to believe in loving deeply in a world that sometimes fails to do so. A gentle reminder to keep going. A gentle reminder to hope. A gentle reminder, for you. Take what you need.

Iliad And Odyssey - Homer Cover Art

Iliad And Odyssey

Iliad And Odyssey by Homer

The Iliad and the Odyssey are attributed to the poet Homer and are the earliest surviving works of Western literature. Composed sometime around the eighth century BC, the ancient Greek poems has since been translated into many languages and serves as an important source of information on ancient Greek culture and mythology. In the Iliad it is the tenth year of the Trojan War. The Greek allies have laid siege to the city of Troy, but the leaders of the Greek factions are beginning to turn on one another. When Agamemnon, the king of Mycenae, angers Achilles, leader of the Myrmidons, the gods begin to intervene more directly in the conflict, and the war becomes even more dangerous for the heroes of Greece and Troy. In the Odyssey, Odysseus has been away from Ithaca, the Greek city-state under his rule, for ten years while fighting in the Trojan War. After the fall of Troy, Odysseus begins the long journey home to his wife and son; however, his journey is plagued by misfortune as the gods feud over his fate, leaving the Ithacans to believe that he has died.

The Poems of Catullus - Gaius Valerius Catullus & Stephanie McCarter Cover Art

The Poems of Catullus

The Poems of Catullus A Dual-Language Edition with Parallel Text by Gaius Valerius Catullus & Stephanie McCarter

I hate and love. How do I do this, you might ask. I don't know but I feel it and am tortured. A Penguin Classic Award-winning translator Stephanie McCarter presents a dual-language translation of the surviving poems of Catullus (84-54 BCE), the Roman poet and punk, the lover and the hater, the hedonist and the wretch, famous for contradictions on friendship, love, and sex, and infamous for obscene diatribes against enemies. Catullus wrote only a single book of poetry, but in it lies some of the most raw and forceful depictions human emotion to be produced in the ancient world. Catullus’s lyricism is as tender as it is violent, equally capable of capturing fleeting romance, heartbroken despondence, and exuberant rage. Tailored to a broad audience, McCarter’s translation conveys the nuances of sexuality and gender in ancient Rome and meticulously mirrors Catullus’s poetic variety. This edition, which includes facing Latin text as well as a general introduction, suggestions for further reading, and endnotes, showcases the complexities of a poet who shaped the Western poetic tradition. Penguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Soy vertical, pero preferiría ser horizontal (Flash Poesía)

Soy vertical, pero preferiría ser horizontal (Flash Poesía) by Sylvia Plath

Sylvia Plath, una de las grandes poetas del siglo XX, llega a la colección «Poesía Portátil». Sylvia Plath es una de las poetas más admiradas del siglo XX. Sus versos, que a lo largo de los años han ido cobrando protagonismo especialmente después de que se quitara la vida a los treinta años, son un intento de expresar su desesperación y su obsesión por la muerte. Sus poemas se pueden considerar en gran parte autobiográficos y exploran su angustia mental, su problemático matrimonio con el también poeta Ted Hughes y los conflictos sin resolver con sus padres, así como la visión que tenía de ella misma. Tanto ella como su obra se ha ido perfilando hasta el día de hoy como uno de los grandes iconos del feminismo, y su poesía -en especial El coloso y el póstumo Ariel -, como objetos adorados, valiosas pruebas de que Sylvia Plath fue una de las grandes figuras de la literatura del pasado siglo. Después de más de cincuenta años de ser escritos, sus versos todavía contienen toda su intensidad, todo su dolor y toda su belleza. ------- « Entonces el cielo y yo conversamos abiertamente. Y seguro que seré más útil cuando al fin me tienda para siempre: entonces quizá los árboles me toquen por una vez y las flores, finalmente, tengan tiempo para mí .» -------

Opened Ground Selected Poems, 1966–1996 by Seamus Heaney

From the Irish Nobel laureate: Essential poems selected by the author from throughout his career, plus several previously unselected works and his Nobel lecture. "[This collection] eloquently confirms his status as the most skillful and profound poet writing in English today." —Edward Mendelson, The New York Times Book Review Opened Ground includes the essential poems from Seamus Heaney's twelve previous volumes of poetry, as well as new sequences drawn from The Cure at Troy (Heaney's version of Sophocles's Philoctetes ) and Sweeney Astray (an adaptation of the medieval Irish poem Buile Suibhne ) and several previously uncollected poems. It closes with his Nobel Lecture, "Crediting Poetry," since, as he explains, "the ground covered in the lecture is ground originally opened by the poems which here precede it." "Perhaps the best descriptions of Seamus Heaney's extraordinarily rich and varied oeuvre come from the poet's own work. Mr. Heaney has created a remarkable series of poems that stay 'true to the impact of external reality' while at the same time remaining 'sensitive to the inner laws of the poet's being.'" ―Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "Having just reread most of his poems, I find myself more, not less, interested, and convinced that I have only begun to plumb their bracing depths. . . . The poems stay in the mind, which is the one essential feature of major poetry." ―Jay Parini, The Nation "Heaney's commitment to the independence of his art, to the pursuit of shape and richness and abundant ambiguity, is also a profound commitment to the quality of public life. . . . In a dark time, Heaney . . . has turned borders and dividing lines into rich frontiers." ―Fintan O'Toole, The New York Review of Books

Crete 1941 - Bernard Cadogan Cover Art

Crete 1941

Crete 1941 by Bernard Cadogan

Australia has 'The Great South Land', South Africa has 'Shaka Zulu', Argentina has the gaucho epic 'Martin Fierro', and Chile has 'La Araucana' as its national poem. Now New Zealand has Crete 1941, an epic poem about the New Zealand-led defence of Crete during the Battle of Crete between 20 May and 1 June 1941. Crete 1941 is the only epic long poem in English since Derek Walcott's 'Omeros', with the entry of the 28th (Māori) Battalion as an active combat force providing the culmination of the poem. As geopolitical tensions rise in the Pacific today, it's timely to look back to when New Zealand last went to war and defended another small nation - Greece - on its last redoubt, in a battle that ended in a Dunkirk-style evacuation. More than just a war story, Crete 1941 brings women back into the historic struggle for Crete. The poem is a life-changing reflection on the virtue of good small nations, on the contribution of indigenous peoples such as Māori and Cretans to international developments, and on the fragility that both peace and its disruptors share.

Sin - Sholeh Wolpé & Forugh Farrokhzad Cover Art

Sin

Sin Selected Poems of Forugh Farrokhzad by Sholeh Wolpé & Forugh Farrokhzad

For the first time, the work of Iranian poet Forugh Farrokhzad is being brought to English-speaking readers through the perspective of a translator who is a poet in her own right, fluent in both Persian and English and intimately familiar with each culture. Sin includes the entirety of Farrokhzad’s last book, numerous selections from her fourth and most enduring book, Reborn, and selections from her earlier work and creates a collection that is true to the meaning, the intention, and the music of the original poems. Farrokhzad was the most significant female Iranian poet of the twentieth century, as revolutionary as Russia’s Akhmatova and Tsvetaeva and America’s Plath and Sexton. She wrote with a sensuality and burgeoning political consciousness that pressed against the boundaries of what could be expressed by a woman in 1950s and 1960s Iran. She paid a high price for her art, shouldering the disapproval of society and her family, having her only child taken away, and spending time in mental institutions. Farrokhzad died in a car accident in 1967 at the age of thirty-two. Sin is a tribute to the work and life of this remarkable poet.

The most accurate and poetic translation of the world’s greatest epic—soon to be a film by Academy Award winner Christopher Nolan! “This may be the best translation of The Odyssey yet.”—Edith Hall,  The Telegraph A magnificent feat of translation, hailed by classicists and poets alike as a “momentous achievement”: “thrilling,” “rich and rhythmical,” “superb,” “mesmerizing,” “searingly faithful—yet absolutely original.”   With this edition of Homer’s Odyssey , the celebrated author, critic, and classicist Daniel Mendelsohn brings the great epic to vividly poetic new life. Widely known for his essays on classical literature and culture in The New Yorker and many other publications, Mendelsohn gives us a line-for-line rendering of The Odyssey that is both engrossing as poetry and true to its source. Rejecting the streamlining and modernizing approach of many recent translations, he artfully reproduces the epic’s formal qualities—meter, enjambment, alliteration, assonance—and in so doing restores to Homer’s masterwork its archaic grandeur. Mendelsohn’s expansive six-beat line, far closer to the original than that of other recent translations, allows him to capture each of Homer’s dense verses without sacrificing the amplitude and shadings of the original. The result is the richest, most ample, most precise, and most musical Odyssey in English, conveying the beauty of its poetry, the excitement of its hero’s adventures, and the profundity of its insights. Supported by an extensive introduction and the fullest notes and commentary currently available, Daniel Mendelsohn’s Odyssey is poised to become the authoritative version of this magnificent and enduringly influential masterpiece.

Axe in Blossom - Franz Wright Cover Art

Axe in Blossom

Axe in Blossom Last Poems & Fragments by Franz Wright

The Pulitzer Prize winner’s final written work: poems of penetrating acceptance and humor, whose soul-sweeping gaze encompasses his own autobiography and the broken world he nonetheless gives thanks for “His hands strip poetry to its nub.” — Los Angeles Times “Reading [Wright] is like walking through a plate-glass window on purpose. . . . The shattering sound you heard was your own heart breaking.” —Chicago Tribune “My death is in the second drawer,” writes Franz Wright. “While you’re standing there, would you mind getting me one?” It is a thrill to be back in these cadences, in his world of exquisite solitude, as he ponders becoming a ghost and returning to a childhood room where, he says, “I won’t have written any of it. / I will have back the rights / of anonymity,” and there is nothing left that anyone can take from him. Wright’s significant themes shine forth: radical acceptance of his own pain, mental illness, and loss; his belief in the poem’s ability to rhyme with the mysteries of our worldly suffering; his nearly surreal vision of Christian grace. But most powerful for readers will be the tender force of his imagery—the “green vesperal rain at the screen,” the “long Jeffersonian / $2-bill- / tinted twilight”—and, as he invites us to join him in his nicatorium, the smoking-porch of recovering addicts, the joy of finding this black-humorous voice still alive on the page to meet us.

The Iliad of Homer - Homer & Richmond Lattimore Cover Art

The Iliad of Homer

The Iliad of Homer by Homer & Richmond Lattimore

“Sing, goddess, the anger of Peleus’ son Achilleus / and its devastation.” For sixty years, that’s how Homer has begun the Iliad in English, in Richmond Lattimore’s faithful translation—the gold standard for generations of students and general readers. This long-awaited new edition of Lattimore’s Iliad is designed to bring the book into the twenty-first century—while leaving the poem as firmly rooted in ancient Greece as ever. Lattimore’s elegant, fluent verses—with their memorably phrased heroic epithets and remarkable fidelity to the Greek—remain unchanged, but classicist Richard Martin has added a wealth of supplementary materials designed to aid new generations of readers. A new introduction sets the poem in the wider context of Greek life, warfare, society, and poetry, while line-by-line notes at the back of the volume offer explanations of unfamiliar terms, information about the Greek gods and heroes, and literary appreciation. A glossary and maps round out the book. The result is a volume that actively invites readers into Homer’s poem, helping them to understand fully the worlds in which he and his heroes lived—and thus enabling them to marvel, as so many have for centuries, at Hektor and Ajax, Paris and Helen, and the devastating rage of Achilleus.

Killing Spree - Jorie Graham Cover Art

Killing Spree

Killing Spree Poems by Jorie Graham

A new collection from the Pulitzer Prize winner Jorie Graham, whose “great body of work . . . has so much in it , more of life and of the world than that of almost any other poet now writing” ( The New York Times ). In a review of her first book, Hybrids of Plants and Ghosts (1980), The New York Times heralded Jorie Graham as a “poet of large ambitions and reckless music.” In the fifteen collections that followed, she has sought to remake the lyric’s ability to capture our recklessly disintegrating and accelerating daily realities. Now, in perhaps the most unflinching book of her long career, Graham explores how the human spirit, in the face of everything that threatens it, might navigate the rapids of extreme change. In these newly spare poems she enacts, with exquisite formal precision, how we might remain intact under conditions—ecological, political, technological—set to destroy what we've come to know as our world. Can we lose our humanity , these poems ask, Can it be taken from us, Will we surrender it without resistance? Extraordinary and haunting, Killing Spree reads like a survival manual guiding us deftly through the cataracts of a runaway climate, tipping-point violence, and out-of-control technology, into a terrain where a defiant, powerful imagination (and love) of the world reveals itself. Here is a poet truly at the height of her powers.

Corrientes alternas. Antología de verso y prosa (Edición conmemorativa de la RAE y la ASALE)

Corrientes alternas. Antología de verso y prosa (Edición conmemorativa de la RAE y la ASALE) by Octavio Paz

Una antología definitiva para adentrarse en el universo literario del mayor poeta mexicano contemporáneo: el premio Nobel de Literatura Octavio Paz Nueva edición conmemorativa de RAE y ASALE La vida de Octavio Paz corre en paralelo a la historia política y cultural del siglo XX. Su actividad literaria, diplomática y artística; su conocimiento de otras realidades externas a la de su país, y la relación con sus coetáneos lo convierten en una figura esencial de la cultura en español. Esta antología propone un original itinerario cronológico por la obra de Paz que entrelaza la prosa con la poesía, las cartas con los ensayos y otros escritos, hasta conformar una biografía vital y literaria del mexicano a través de sus textos. El libro se completa con estudios de especialistas y escritores tanto de su tiempo como pertenecientes a generaciones posteriores, que ofrecen una visión amplia y rica de la creación del premio Nobel. La crítica ha dicho: «Por una apasionada obra literaria de amplios horizontes, moldeada por una inteligencia sensual y un humanismo íntegro». Comité Nobel «Octavio Paz es el intelectual paradigmático de México en el siglo XX, una de las figuras más interesantes, contrastantes y apasionantes de nuestra historia». Jorge Volpi «[Estaba] enraizado en la enigmática y compleja cultura mexicana y, a la vez, atento al mundo. Logró relativizar lo mexicano y lo universal a fuerza de relacionarlos sistemáticamente». Gonzalo Celorio «[En su obra hay] una extraordinaria capacidad teórica sobre la poesía y un don de interlocución con la lírica occidental coetánea tanto europea como americana, que es rarísimo en casi cualquier momento de la historia literaria del castellano». Pere Gimferrer «Mientras haya enamorados y se lean los poemas de Paz en las plazas de México, en los parques, en las escuelas, en los autobuses, hay poesía,y si hay poesía hay esperanza». Enrique Krauze «Un club [la colección de ediciones conmemorativas] que ya cuenta con invitados más que ilustres». El País «Sean bienvenidas, por muchos motivos, estas ediciones conmemorativas auspiciadas por instituciones académicas del mayor rango. Unas ediciones que, por sus precios populares, y ahora que los buenos libros han pasado a ser un objeto de lujo, facilitan al gran público el acceso a unos autores que, paradójicamente, no por ser -clásicos- de la literatura en lengua castellana (antiguos o modernos) dejan de ser para algunos, aún hoy, unos grandes desconocidos».
