Los hijos legítimos de Fiódor Pávlovich Karamázov - un "bufón", un "filisteo", un "déspota", solo en última instancia un padre - se reúnen después de haber sido educados, lejos unos de otros, en distintas partes de Rusia: Dmitri es soldado y - como su padre - puro "ímpetu", bebedor, derrochador, lujurioso; Iván se ha convertido en un escéptico que duda de la ley, de la conciencia y de la fe (el primer existencialista, según Sartre); Aliosha ha abrazado la religión, todo el mundo lo llama "ángel" y vive en un monasterio.

An out-of-work actor accepts the role of a lifetime—sitting soundlessly in a lecture theater, zipped into a large leather bag—to aid a professor’s psychological experiment. What could possibly go wrong? In Luke Kennard’s audacious new novel, a penniless and out-of-work actor picks up a...

When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their Children's and Household Tales in 1812, followed by a second volume in 1815, they had no idea that such stories as "Rapunzel", "Hansel and Gretel", and "Cinderella" would become the most celebrated in the world. Yet few people today are familiar with the majority of tales from the two early volumes, since in the next four decades the Grimms would publish six other editions, each extensively revised in content and style.

This complete collection brings together the full scope of Nietzsche's radical and transformative philosophy in a single, meticulously curated work.
