  PER PRIMERA VEGADA, L'ACLAMADA VERSIÓ EN PROSA DE SAMUEL BUTLER DE L'ODISSEA D'HOMER ARRIBA EN CATALÀ. EDICIÓ PORTÀTIL, BELLA I ACCESSIBLE, AMB MÉS DE 300 IL·LUSTRACIONS DE CALPURNIO.
  Un clàssic etern, ara amb una nova vida en la nostra llengua. Perquè alliberar els clàssics vol dir acostar-nos-hi de maneres noves. «TANT SI VIVIM COM SI MORIM, QUE HO PUGUEM FER AMB ELS ULLS OBERTS.» Així encoratja Ulisses els seus homes abans d'enfrontar-se a les terribles sirenes.
  Obstinat a sobreviure, i guiat al mateix temps per una voluntat insaciable de saber, Ulisses afronta aquest trànsit amb coratge, astúcia i curiositat, que és com ha superat els perills de monstres i fetilleres i ha desafiat déus i tempestes. Quan per fi arriba a les anhelades costes d'Ítaca, encara l'esperen un combat terrible i la tasca ingrata de la venjança. L'amor de la seva esposa Penèlope i l'estima pel fill que no ha vist créixer el guiaran en aquest últim propòsit.

  Llibre de contemplació

  Ramón Llull

  Hi ha unanimitat a considerar el Llibre de contemplació en Déu com un dels textos més importants no només de l'extensa producció del seu autor, sinó de tota la literatura catalana. Per a molts seria, fins i tot, l'obra més destacada de les lletres catalanes. Aquesta valoració es justifica, juntament amb els seus indubtables mèrits literaris, pel seu caràcter de text fundacional: en certa manera Llull obrí el món a la cultura catalana en emprar al segle XIII la seva llengua materna com a vehicle de comunicació literària, filosòfica i científica, i és precisament en el Llibre de contemplació on per primer cop el català s'erigeix com a llengua d'alta cultura. Aquest llibre immens, del qual en presentem una antologia, resumeix allò més essencial de la vasta obra posterior de Llull i es pot afirmar que amb el Llibre de contemplació neixen les lletres catalanes, i ho fan amb una obra de referència la importància de la qual s'estén molt més enllà de les nostres fronteres lingüístiques i culturals.
