Sinopsis

Efraín is a young man growing up on an idyllic hacienda in Colombia's Valle de Cauca department. Among his large and loving family is María, the abandoned daughter of Efraín's father's cousin, raised by Efraín's father. The two fall in love; but Maria is haunted by a condition inherited from her mother that threatens death at a young age, and Efraín is sent to faraway lands to complete his education. Will the two be able to see their love blossom? María , Isaacs' only novel, is one of Colombia's most famous literary works and one of the most important works of 19th century Latin American literature. It's held up as a paragon of the costumbrist novel, a type of novel that depicts the everyday life of common people against a Romantic backdrop. Jorge Isaacs (died 1895) was one of the most distinguished authors of the Victorian age. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. As a work of classic literary fiction, Rollo Ogden exemplifies the narrative craft and social insight that defined great storytelling of its era. Literary fiction of this period was characterized by careful attention to character psychology, social milieu, and the moral questions that animated public discourse.

East of Eden - Old New York...

Isa Glenn

A woman comes home to New York after years abroad and finds her old circle in the middle of the season's talk: Eva Litchfield's marriage, which her friends have already called a failure, and the mother-in-law whose look settled the verdict. Isa Glenn, who had lived the army wife's life in Manila before she wrote, turned here to the New York society she had come back to, and watched it with a cool, amused and rather unforgiving eye. Fifty-seven plates by painters from Thomas Cole to George Bellows trace the American scene from Yosemite to steaming New York streets, matching the novel's own passage between old New York and the wider country.

The History of Pendennis follows the coming-of-age of Arthur Pendennis, a young man of modest means and romantic illusions, as he navigates love, ambition, and society in early 19th-century England. From his sheltered upbringing to his struggles as a writer in London, Pen confronts vanity, heartbreak, and moral compromise. Through his evolving relationships—with his devoted mother, loyal friend Warrington, and the elusive Laura—he gradually matures into a wiser, more compassionate man. Thackeray blends satire and sentiment to critique social pretension while offering a nuanced portrait of youthful idealism tempered by experience.
