by Daniel DefoeLa colección Grandes Clásicos Literatura Random House nos trae esta exquisita edición de Robinson Crusoe con ilustraciones del caricaturista francés J.J. Grandville (1803-1847) y prologada por J.M. Coetzee. Robinson Crusoe, publicada en 1719, inaugura en Inglaterra la novela moderna y, a lo largo de los siglos, sus personajes han ingresado en la restringida familia de los arquetipos imperecederos. «Como Odiseo en su singladura hacia Ítala -nos dice J.M. Coetzee en el prólogo- o como el Quijote montado sobre Rocinante, Robinson Crusoe, con su loro y su sombrilla, se ha convertido en un personaje de la conciencia colectiva de Occidente que trasciende al libro en el que se celebran sus aventuras. Tras haber aspirado a pertenecer a la Historia, se ha encontrado inmerso en la esfera del mito.» Esta edición, que reúne las dos partes del clásico con ilustraciones de la época, recupera también la espléndida traducción de uno de nuestros clásicos contemporáneos, Julio Cortázar. «La verdadera grandeza de una vida consiste en llegar a ser el dueño de uno mismo.»

Robots: Explore the World of Robots and How They Work for Us (Fact Atlas Series)
by Rick Allen LeiderRobots exist for so many different reasons. Many robots replace humans, whether it’s because a situation is dangerous or just tedious. There are rover robots to explore space and drone robots that play a part in our military today, but then there are also vacuum robots available for the average household’s chores. In Japan, there is a robot teacher that can mimic a wide range of human emotions--including anger at uncooperative students--thanks to eighteen small motors hidden beneath the latex skin covering her face. The Japanese government hopes to use robots to fill jobs left vacant by an anticipated labor shortage due to an aging population. In the United States, robots even help with surgery, allowing for incisions to be cut much smaller than they would be otherwise--meaning fewer complications and faster recovery times. This fascinating book in the Fact Atlas series explores the history of robots, from the very first robot designed by Leonardo da Vinci to predictions of the roles robots will play in our future. Kids will learn about how robots are often modeled after real life-forms, such as bees, sharks, and, of course, humans. Robots also takes into account the robots in pop culture--robots we have imagined could be a part of our future. Readers can decide for themselves whether or not they think robots should be developed to their fullest potential or kept in check by safety limitations.
