AuthorHenry Louis Gates Jr.
ISBN0525559531
The New York Times bestseller.

The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
AuthorWilliam Blake
ISBN0486281221
Once regarded as a brilliant eccentric whose works skirted the outer fringes of English art and literature, William Blake (1757–1827) is today recognized as a major poet, a profound thinker, and one of the most original and exciting English artists. Nowhere is his glorious poetic and pictorial...

El amigo fiel
AuthorOscar Wilde
The Devoted Friend is a satirical fairy tale about friendship. With Wilde I have since learnt there is method behind the madness in the infuriating stories he tells.

A pompous and opinionated old water-rat is heard to be waxing lyrical about the rarity and nobility of a devoted friendship....
