Tales of Mystery and Imagination

AUTOR: POE, Edgar Allan

EDITORIAL: Oxford Unversity Press

Libros en inglés.

The titles in this series are mainly new editions of titles in the Oxford Bokkworms. They are suitable for students at stage 3, 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 five tales, "The Fall of the House of Usher”, “The Black Cat", "The Masque of the Red Death", "William Wilson" and "The Tell-Tale Heart”, 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.

Querido hijo, estás despedido

AUTOR: SIERRA I FABRA, Jordi

EDITORIAL: Santillana

Las travesuras del protagonista, un niño a punto de dejar de serlo, inducen a su madre a darle una carta de despido legal que será efectivo a los treinta días de la fecha de recibo. El hijo no toma en serio la actitud materna, pero la mañana en que expira el plazo se ve en la calle, sin dinero y con un ligero equipaje. “Querido hijo, estás despedido”, de Jordi Sierra i Fabra, pone de manifiesto, en duro tono crítico, el egoísmo de unos hijos criados con excesivo mimo, que se creen con derecho a recibir todo sin dar nada a cambio, sólo en razón de su condición filial. Aunque el estilo es sencillo y ligero, no oculta la severidad de la denuncia que expresa.
