The Tyger (Annotated) book cover
The Tyger (Annotated)
William Blake - 1993-01-01 (publicado por primera vez en 1789)
Calificación de Goodreads
A timeless poem by legendary poet and artist William Blake, The Tyger (Annotated) explores the Christian religious paradigms of late 18th and early 19th century England. Originally published in 1794, the work has been subject to literary criticism and has inspired various adaptions, including musical versions. Blake's commentary on God's creation, motivation and intention for the tiger and the lamb is captivating and introspective. Blake's work is widely considered to be significant in the history of poetry and the visual arts.

Continuing with favorite poets--here's #Blake, with his amazing "The Tyger." I read it first in high school and was blown away. I admire it just as much today. What's a favorite book or poem from your schooldays that you still love? #poetry #schooldays #memory #book      fuente

Calificación de Goodreads
Pájaro a Pájaro es más que un libro dedicado a todo aquel que quiera escribir o mejorar lo que ya escribe. Es un libro con lecciones sobre la vida, el trabajo, la creatividad y el amor por las historias. Es un libro tremendamente divertido con el que se aprende, entre otras cosas, a escribir mejor.

El oso y el ruiseñor
A Novel (Winternight Trilogy)
Katherine Arden - 2017-01-10
Calificación de Goodreads
En la estepa rusa, el invierno dura casi todo el año y los montículos de nieve son más altos que las casas. A Vasia el hielo le recuerda a los cuentos sobre Morozko, el misterioso rey del invierno, que trae las heladas y engaña cruelmente a las jóvenes para quedarse con sus almas. En cuanto su padre regresa de Moscú con una nueva esposa muy devota, las cosas cambian. La mujer ve demonios invisibles a ojos de todos, excepto de Vasia... Aunque para ella son espíritus: como el vodianói, un hombre hecho de ramas de árboles, o la rusalka, la ninfa que ahoga a los incautos en el lago. Mientras los aldeanos sigan haciéndoles ofrendas, no pasará nada malo. Pero un despiadado invierno, cuando las ventiscas cubren las casas de escarcha y el miedo se cuela por las cerraduras, las ofrendas dejan de llegar.

El principito
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry - 2000-06-29 (publicado por primera vez en 1943)
Calificación de Goodreads
Uno de los clásicos de la literatura para niños, que en el criterio de muchos debe ser leído y comentado por un adulto, pero también un indiscutible libro para adultos. Mediante la figura de un principito que vive en su propio asteroide, el autor trata sobre los valores humanos y enseñanzas para la vida.

La brújula dorada
Philip Pullman - 1996-04-16 (publicado por primera vez en 1995)
Calificación de Goodreads
"De no ser por esta niña, moriríamos todos" Lyra Belacqua y su animal daimonion llevan una vida un tanto salvaje y despreocupada entre los alumnos del Jordan College de Oxford. El destino que la aguarda la conducirá a las heladas tierras del Ártico, donde reinan los clanes de brujas y los osos polares libran virulentas luchas. Su extraordinario viaje tendrá inconmensurables repercusiones mucho más allá de su propio mundo.
