| 1. |  | The Inferno (Wordsworth Classics of World Literature) (v. 1)
from Wordsworth Editions Ltd
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
Choosing which translation of Dante's Divine Comedy to read is a very subjective and personal question. Any translation involves balancing the meaning, feel, and artistry of the work, normally at the expense of at least one of these qualities. A major consideration is the topic of rhyme.

Customer Review:
"Clasping my arms like a climbing plant
the leaves garnered your voice, that was slow and at peace.
Bonfire of awe in which my thirst was burning.
Sweet blue hyacinth twisted over my soul."

| 5. | ![]() | Como Agua Para Chocolate/Like Water for Chocolate (Fiction, Poetry & Drama) (Spanish Edition)
from Grijalbo Mondadori Sa
Customer Review:
This book is a classic in Literature in Spanish, but please don't buy this edition from Anchor Books. It has a lot of typos and spelling mistakes that a good editor would never allow.
It was a very disappointing buy... but a great story regardless. That is why it gets 2 stars and not one.

from Alianza
Customer Review:
Aura is a strange work by Carlos Fuentes that incorporates realism and magic, brujeria (witchcraft) and religion, and linear and cyclical time. Good book to read if you know a fair amount of Spanish.
The descriptive setting cannot get much better; Fuentes keeps the reader guessing from chapter... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Las comparaciones siempre son malas, aunque en ciertos casos son inevitables. Gabo dejo de la lado la imaginacion y nos dio una aburrida y facil historia. Sin muchos matices y muy directa sobre un viejo obsecionado por una nena de 14 anos. Vuelvan a leer los clasicos de Gabo y no se desilusionen. | 3.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I was taken by this book when I first read it and it still remains one of my favorite King novels.
The atmosphere is dark and oppressive and you can feel Carrie's pain come off the words of the page as she deals with general alienation and an extreme and painful home life.
It is a quick... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
