All short stories are open to interpretation and philosophical dialogue, but this memorable tale from acclaimed author Virginia Woolf might be described as a case study in the mentality of hoarding or at the very least an obsession. What would John give up to discover and collect a very unusual group of items? Would this collection improve his life, or would it give way to madness?

Desde el sur del continente americano, en la soledad de las montañas y los bosques, cerca de los hielos y los valles, mirando de frente el desierto y el mar, estos relatos nacen con toda la fuerza de un pueblo que se nos revela con su mezcla maravillosa de paisajes y ciudades de bullicios vigorosos. Un desborde de energía en la urbe que se esconde entre las cumbres, poblada de gente creativa y heredera de culturas que lentamente se encuentran con el paso de la historia.

Segundo volumen de una colección de cuentos desde el sur del mundo donde la soledad de desiertos y estepas, montañas y campos incitan al relato, la conversación y la poesía. La naturaleza se hermana con el habitante americano y en una relación estrecha, simbiótica, hay un permanente acto de recreación que a veces es profundo y dramático, otras plácido y dérmico, siempre sensual y mágico.

Virginia Woolf's semi-biographical novel, inspired by her life changing love affair with Vita Sackville-West, takes us on an exhilarating, fantastical roller coaster, tracing 400 years of English history, in the company of her shape-shifting, gender-bending, time-travelling hero Orlando, whose inner conflicts and triumphs challenge our preconceptions of the nature of love, the battle of the sexes, posing socal and metaphysical questions including what we now call climate change.

This is the story my mom, Helen Kaczor, told her six children. We then went on to tell her 17 grandchildren. We each had fun embellishing the details, but the moral stays the same.

In 1983 Virginia Vallejo - a former model, a raising star of the Colombian television, and a socialite - met Pablo Escobar and fell in love with him. Few people have had the opportunity to get to know him as well as she did - a lover of the most wanted and the richest criminal in the world. It was one of the most scandalous romances of the 20th century, and at the same time, one of the biggest events in publishing in 2017! This story is so incredible it seems to be literary fiction.

Virginia Woolf's second novel is both a love story and a subversive comedy which questions the role of women in society. Contemplating their futures, five single people in their late 20s and early 30s are immobilized by indecision. Questions like who, when, and whether to marry, the changing roles of men and women in a rapidly changing world, and matters of independence versus family obligations come to the fore.

A party of English people is aboard the Euphrosyne, bound for South America. Among them is Rachel Vinrace, a young girl, innocent and wholly ignorant of the world of politics and society, books, sex, love and marriage. She is a free spirit half-caught, momentarily and passionately, by Terence Hewet, an aspiring writer who she meets in Santa Marina. But their engagement is to end abruptly, and tragically. Virginia Woolf's first novel, published in 1915, is a haunting exploration of a young woman's mind.

At some point in our lives we believe that creak, that low moan, that whisper is something unnatural, beyond our comprehension. And in these stories our instincts are right. We are afraid. And we should be. Perhaps even terrified. In this volume our classic authors take different approaches, but the result is inevitably the same. We are hooked by these unknowable forces, our emotions heightened and rattled by the expectation - or shock - of the next few words.
