Franz Kafka escribió en 1919 esta carta bajo el pretexto de explicarle a su padre el miedo que le inspiraba y justificarle la distancia que la vida había interpuesto entre ellos. En la redacción del texto, el autor utilizó todas sus argucias de abogado para intentar suavizar, en la medida de lo posible, la precaria relación entre ambos. Su madre, después de leer la carta, consideró que era mejor interceptarla: la Carta al padre nunca llegó a su destinatario. Aunque Kafka encomendó a Max Brod la destrucción de su obra, Brod desoyó el deseo de su amigo y, con ella, salvó esta carta de la hoguera, ofreciendo a la posteridad la llave maestra para comprender no sólo la vida y la sensibilidad del autor, sino también el sentido de toda su producción literaria. En ella se basan todas las interpretaciones de lo que el autor denominaba «el revolverse de la mosca en la hoja de papel engomado», es decir, él mismo condenado en la casa paterna.

A cultural landmark and the most shocking novel in the English language, Naked Lunch is an exhilarating ride into the darkest recesses of the human psyche. An unnerving tale of an addict unmoored in New York, Tangier, and ultimately a nightmarish wasteland known as Interzone, Naked Lunch's formal innovation, formerly taboo subject matter, and tour de force execution has exerted its influence authors like Thomas Pynchon and J. G. Ballard, on the relationship of art and obscenity, and on the shape of music, film, and media in general.

Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll. With an Introduction and Notes by Michael Irwin, Professor of English Literature, University of Kent at Canterbury This selection of Carroll's works includes Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, both containing the famous illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. No greater books for children have ever been written. The simple language, dreamlike atmosphere, and fantastical characters are as appealing to young readers today as ever they were. Meanwhile, however, these apparently simple stories have become recognised as adult masterpieces, and extraordinary experiments, years ahead of their time, in Modernism and Surrealism. Through wordplay, parody and logical and philosophical puzzles, Carroll engenders a variety of sub-texts, teasing, ominous or melancholy. For all the surface playfulness there is meaning everywhere. The author reveals himself in glimpses.

Jane Austen's brilliant, hilarious - and often outrageous - early stories, sketches and pieces of nonsense, in a beautiful Penguin Classics clothbound edition.Jane Austen's earliest writing dates from when she was just eleven years, and already shows the hallmarks of her mature work: wit, acute insight into human folly, and a preoccupation with manners, morals and money. But they are also a product of the eighteenth century she grew up in - dark, grotesque, often surprisingly bawdy, and a far cry from the polished, sparkling novels of manners for which she became famous. Drunken heroines, babies who bite off their mother's fingers, and a letter-writer who has murdered her whole family all feature in these very funny pieces. This edition includes all of Austen's juvenilia, including her 'History of England' - written by 'a partial, prejudiced, and ignorant Historian' - and the novella 'Lady Susan', in which the anti-heroine schemes and cheats her way through high society. Taken together, they offer a fascinating - and often surprising - insight into the early Austen.This major new edition is the first time Austen's juvenilia has appeared in Penguin Classics. Edited by Christine Alexander, it includes an introduction, notes and other useful editorial materials.
