The Taming of the Shrew: Being The Original Of Shakespeare's 'taming Of The Shrew' Edited (classic Reprint) (First Avenue Classics ™)
by William ShakespeareLucentio comes to Padua to attend the university, but his attention is quickly captured by the lovely Bianca. He would do anything to marry her, including disguise himself as her Latin teacher. But a major obstacle stands in the way of Lucentio's intentions: Bianca's father will only allow Bianca to marry after her sister, Katherine, is married. Katherine is everything Bianca is not. She is ill-tempered, opinionated, and objects to the idea of marriage. When bold Petruchio arrives in Padua, however, he might just be the kind of suitor who could succeed in marrying Katherine. This is an unabridged version of English playwright William Shakespeare's romantic comedy, which was first published in 1623.

Tarde o temprano nos abrazaremos
by Antonio Dikele DistefanoTarde o temprano nos abrazaremos es la nueva novela del último gran fenómeno de la novela romántica italiana, autor de Fuera llueve, dentro también... ¿paso a buscarte?, Antonio Dikele Distefano. «-¿Qué es el amor? -fue la pregunta. -El amor es una caja de galletas de mantequilla. ¿Recuerdas las galletas que van en esas cajas metálicas azules? ¿Que, cuando las ves en el salón, piensas «galletas», pero cuando abres la caja encuentras alfileres y botones? Para mí el amor es eso, esperas una cosa y te encuentras con otra -fue la respuesta.» Enrico e Irene cortaron hace más de un año, pero todavía hay cosas que no se han dicho. En cambio, Gianluca y Aldo, los padres de Enrico, están obstinados en amarse a toda costa, incluso cuando ya es demasiado tarde, cuando el amor se ha convertido en indiferencia. En eso piensa Enrico en el momento en que decide ir a buscar a Irene para confesarle lo que todavía siente por ella. Ahora le toca a Irene decidir el futuro de su relación y, mientras Enrico espera su respuesta, no puede evitar plantearse otra vez: ¿tiene sentido luchar por un amor que no es recíproco? Los lectores dicen...«Me ha fascinado cómo está escrito. Es como una especie de prosa poética que está tan de moda está últimamente. Son metáforas muy potentes, son imágenes muy fuertes...»Javier Ruescas en Youtube «Tiene muy buenos mensajes. Es muy importante la comunicación, el respeto, la tolerancia o la confianza en la otra persona, creo que son valores buenos que transmite el libro.»Nube de palabras «La historia de Dikele invita totalmente a la reflexión sobre las emociones humanas y las relaciones de pareja. Una novela completamente diferente, no apta para lectores que busquen una historia dulce y azucarada. Busca lectores que quieran conocer el amor, despedirse de él y dejar quesus corazones conozcan una parte más profunda y realista. 4/5.»Little Red Read «Antonio Dikele me ha enamorado [#]. Un libro que te devuelve a esa adolescencia que todos hemos tenido, estamos teniendo o tendremos. No puedo decir nada malo de ella.» «Tarde o temprano nos abrazaremos es una novela que engancha, que ahonda en los sentimientos del protagonista y que es capaz de hacer que el lector empatice con todos y cada uno de los personajes. Un aire fresco a la literatura juvenil por su narración y la emoción que transmiten las palabras del autor en cada página.»Cultura Joven «Antonio Dikele Distefano escribe realmente bien. Hay frases que se te quedan grabadas en la memoria [#]. Si sois fans de la novela romántica italiana, estoy convencida de que Tarde o Temprano nos abrazaremos os puede gustar y mucho.»A body made of words
