'The moment I first met you, I noticed your pride, your sense of superiority, and your selfish disdain for the feelings of others. You are the last man in the world whom I could ever be persuaded to marry,' said Elizabeth Bennet. And so Elizabeth rejects the proud Mr Darcy. Can nothing overcome her prejudice against him? And what of the other Bennet girls - their fortunes, and misfortunes, in the business of getting husbands? This famous novel by Jane Austen is full of wise and humorous observation of the people and manners of her times.

Uno de los títulos más representativos de la vasta producción del denominado Maestro del terror cósmico, el estadounidense Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937).

Con La llamada de Cthulhu, Lovecraft nos muestra las primeras visiones de ese terror cósmico que tantas veces exploraría a lo largo de su obra.
