Of Mice and Men

AUTOR: STEINBECK, John

EDITORIAL: Penguin

Libros en inglés.

Drifters in search of work, George and his childlike friend Lennie, have nothing in the world except the clothes on their back - and a dream that one day they will have some land of their own. Eventually they find work on a ranch in California's Salinas Valley, but their hopes are dashed as Lennie - struggling against extreme cruelty, misunderstanding and feelings of jealousy - becomes a victim of his own strength. Tackling universal themes of friendship and shared vision, and giving a voice to America's lonely and dispossessed, “Of Mice and Men” remains John Steinbeck's most popular work, achieving success as a novel, Broadway play and three acclaimed films.

Tales of Mystery and Imagination

AUTOR: POE, Edgar Allan

EDITORIAL: Longman

The titles in this series are mainly new editions of titles in the Longman Simplified English Series. They are suitable for students at upper intermediate level, including those preparing for the Cambridge First Certificate.

Spiral into a dimly lit world, down streets lined with madmen and their black deeds, through the cold twists of the catacombs, and into rooms where secrets dwell. From the tortured mind of Edgar Allan Poe, these three tales, "You are the man”, “The Stolen Letter, " and "The Pit and the Pendulum”, speak to the hidden places inside us all. Capturing the mist and shadows rising from the stories are illustrations by prominent artist Per. Angular and dark, his work heightens the Gothic terror that is Poe's trademark and creates windows into Poe's world.
