Resumen | Oliver Twist es una de las novelas más célebres de la literatura universal. El personaje creado por Charles Dickens entre 1837 y 1839 ha gozado de una fama sin precedentes. Es, sin lugar a dudas, la novela más conocida del escritor inglés. En ella Dickens nos ofrece un cuadro de la sociedad inglesa de la época victoriana. Y para ello divide la acción de la trama en dos escenarios claramente diferenciados: el campo y la ciudad.Cuando leemos Oliver Twist, ?ha escrito el académico Guillermo Díaz Plaja ?, todo el fondo de recuerdos que nos ha dejado la infancia revive y se alza, palpitante y fuerte. Para hacer un elogio de este libro podría decirse que "es uno de los libros más exactamente humanos que se hayan escrito jamás". Dickens, como cronista de una sociedad y de una época, dibuja con admirable precisión las figuras y los caracteres. Sus novelas constituyen el marco de la vida inglesa en uno de sus períodos más brillantes. |

Resumen | The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is an 1876 novel about a young boy growing up along the Mississippi River. The story is set in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, inspired by Hannibal, Missouri, where Twain lived.Tom Sawyer lives with his Aunt Polly and his half-brother Sid. Tom dirties his clothes in a fight and is made to whitewash the fence the next day as punishment. He cleverly persuades his friends to trade him small treasures for the privilege of doing his work. He then trades the treasures for Sunday School tickets which one normally receives for memorizing verses, redeeming them for a Bible, much to the surprise and bewilderment of the superintendent who thought "it was simply preposterous that this boy had warehoused two thousand sheaves of Scriptural wisdom on his premises—a dozen would strain his capacity, without a doubt."Tom falls in love with Becky Thatcher, a new girl in town, and persuades her to get "engaged" by kissing him. But their romance collapses when she learns Tom has been "engaged" previously to Amy Lawrence. Shortly after Becky shuns him, he accompanies Huckleberry Finn to the graveyard at night, where they witness the murder of Dr. Robinson. |

Resumen | Emma fue la última novela que Jane Austen publicó en vida. En ella nos cuenta las peripecias de Emma Woodhouse, una joven inglesa criada en el seno de una familia acomodada que no sólo no tiene la menor intención de contraer matrimonio, sino que además se empeña en hacer de casamentera para su círculo de amigas, para desgracia de éstas, y en particular para su protegida Harriet Smith. Los consejos de Emma producen todo tipo de equívocos y situaciones embarazosas, lo que se traduce en una obra divertida que, dos siglos después de su aparición, sigue deleitando a los lectores. |

Resumen | Noted leadership coach Jill Harrison Berg offers a comprehensive guide to help school and teacher leaders amplify the power of collaborative inquiry as a means for identifying, interrogating, and addressing instructional inequity. At the center of the book is Berg's i3PD Planning Map, an invaluable tool for enhancing inquiry-based professional development experiences so that they become engines for schoolwide transformation. The map guides teachers to recognize and reform ways their instructional practice may be contributing to inequity, bolsters facilitators' abilities to help their colleagues become more effective agents of their own learning, and cultivates a culture of organizational learning in schools. Berg lays out the process in four parts: 1. Establishing a solid foundation for your improvement cycle with a deep understanding of the three components of your instructional core: content, participants, and facilitators. If you're ready to see your school start to work smarter toward instructional equity, and if you're eager to be a part of that change, Uprooting Instructional Inequity provides the design principles and sample tools you need to get the transformation started. |
