Oregon Trail: The Road to Destiny
by Frank Young David Lasky*** This book is images only and may not read with certain types of assistive technology **** Based on their extensive research into personal accounts of the Oregon Trail, comic authors David Lasky and Frank Young have created a graphic narrative of one family's epic journey. The main character is an 11-year-old girl whose family sets course for the West to seek new opportunities and to escape the eastern city where they had been living. Oregon Trail reveals all of the planning, equipment, and logistics that went into traveling across an untamed continent in the 1800s. In addition to its visualization of the family's journey, the book features a series of two-page spreads detailing a visual inventory of everything the family took with them, including the parts of a covered wagon and a personally annotated map of the trail. Readers get a ground-level feel for what it was like to be part of this storied migration west-not a dry recitation of dates and facts, but an immediately memorable living history.

Orgullo y prejuicio
by Jane AustenEs ésta la novela más popular de Jane Austen (1775-1817), considerada por la mayor parte de los críticos como una obra maestra. En ella, todos los elementos del equilibrado y sobrio arte de la escritora alcanzan su mejor expresión. La obra debe gran parte de su popularidad al brío y a la agudeza con que son creados algunos personajes cómicos, como el amenísimo pastor Collins, uno de los figurones más célebres de la literatura inglesa. Con unos pocos y sencillos rasgos, Jane Austen traza unas figuras tan eficaces, que alcanzan un relieve que las hace inolvidables. ¿Por qué Jane Austen vuelve una y otra vez a través del tiempo, como si nunca hubiera dejado de escribir? Quienes han estudiado su obra aseguran que sus novelas están repletas de observaciones incisivas y detalles meticulosos, y que en todas está presente un tema característico: el alcance de la madurez a través de la pérdida de ilusiones. Sus personajes son provincianos de clase media, cuya máxima preocupación es conseguir un buen pasar económico y, su mayor ambición, el matrimonio. Y la perennidad de Austen quizá sugiera la confirmación de que las cosas no han cambiado tanto como parece desde el siglo XVIII. La presión de las convenciones, el rígido sistema de castas, el protagonismo del dinero como motor social no harán sino alimentar dramáticamente un romance conflictivo, que está destinado a consumarse, pero no sin antes haber atravesado esa ajustada red de tabúes culturales que rodean a la pareja cenral.
Orgullo y prejuicio (Letras Mayúsculas. Clásicos Universales Ser.)
by Jane AustenUNO DE LOS GRANDES CLÁSICOS DE LA LITERATURA, EN UNA NUEVA EDICIÓN ADAPTADA CON ILUSTRACIONES DE MARTA GARCÍA NAVARRO. Mr. Darcy es el hombre más arrogante, insufrible y maleducado que ha existido jamás. O, al menos, esa es la opinión de la joven y perspicaz Lizzy Bennet. Pero, para su desgracia, la mala suerte quiere que las vidas de ambos no dejen de cruzarse. ¿Conseguirá Lizzy superar sus prejuicios y ver a Darcy como algo más que un enemigo? Entre malentendidos, familiares entrometidos y algún que otro escándalo, el camino hacia el amor de los dos jóvenes no podría ser más accidentado.
Orgullo y prejuicio: Las cinco hijas de la Sra. Bennet (Letras Mayúsculas. Clásicos Universales Ser.)
by Jane AustenElisabeth Bennet tiene cuatro hermanas y una madre que solo sueña con casarlas. Cuando llegan noticias de una finca vecina, en Netherfield, propiedad del Sr. Bingley, un hombre soltero y feliz, todas las damas alrededor están conmocionadas, especialmente porque lo acompaña su amigo el Sr. Darcy, un joven y millonario aristócrata. Todas las mentes están preocupadas de los preparativos para el próximo baile... Jane Austen pinta con una dosis justa de ironía las turbulencias amorosas de las jóvenes y, hoy al igual que ayer, nos indignamos con la orgullosa Elisabeth, y luego abrimos los ojos a los sinuosos caminos que conlleva el amor ...
Orgullo y prejuicio: Tomo Ii (Los mejores clásicos #Volumen)
by Jane AustenLos mejores libros jamás escritos. Publicada originalmente en 1813, Orgullo y prejuicio es una de las obras maestras de la literatura inglesa de todos los tiempos A lo largo de una trama que discurre con la precisión de un mecanismo de relojería, Jane Austen perfila una galería de personajes que conforman un perfecto y sutil retrato de la época: las peripecias de una dama empeñada en casar a sus hijas con el mejor partido de la región, los vaivenes sentimentales de las hermanas, el oportunismo de un clérigo adulador... El trazado de los caracteres y el análisis de las relaciones humanas sometidas a un rígido código de costumbres, elementos esenciales de la narrativa de la autora, alcanzan en Orgullo y prejuicio cotas de maestría insuperable. La presente edición incluye una detallada cronología de la autora. Asimismo recupera la introducción original de Penguin Clásicos a cargo de Tony Tanner, que desarrolló su carrera como catedrático de literatura inglesa y norteamericana en la Universidad de Cambridge. Sus acertadas reflexiones sobre la obra de Jane Austen son la mejor guía para adentrarse en el universo literario de esta autora. «Pero mi locura no ha sido el amor sino la vanidad.»
Orientation (Avengers Assembly)
by Preeti ChhibberA diverse cast of characters -- Kamala Khan (Ms. Marvel), Miles Morales (Spider-Man), and Doreen Green (Squirrel Girl) -- team up in their first-ever middle-grade series told through comics, in-world artifacts, and more!Kamala Khan was an average middle school kid. That is, until a cloud called a Terrigen Mist swept through the New Jersey waterfront and activated her super powers! After taking on the persona of Ms. Marvel, she's been fighting crime in Jersey City, and has caught the eye of some pretty well-established super heroes. But that's not always a good thing...After Kamala is caught by news cameras taking on a super villain -- and accidentally destroying a building along the way -- she gets a letter from Captain Marvel herself! It's great that she's fighting crime and sticking up for people, but maybe a regular school isn't the best place to learn how to do that. If she wants to continue as Ms. Marvel, she's going to need to take on some new extracurricular activities -- mainly, training with other young super heroes alongside the Avengers!Now Kamala is the new kid at the Avengers Institute. Her classmates are all kids like her, they have special powers, but most of them have gotten into some trouble or drawn attention to themselves. The big news at the Avengers Institute this year? An academic decathlon in which students will group up into teams and compete against each other in super heroics. Kamala and her friends Miles and Doreen will have to go up against a team led by some kids who fight less than fair -- and have some trouble with the concept of "fighting for good" -- in this funny, action-packed look at some ordinary middle school kids who just happen to have some extraordinary powers.
