Este libro reune las Gifford Lectures impartidas por Gerald A. Cohen en la Universidad de Edimburgo en 1996. Centrandose en el marxismo y en el liberalismo rawlsiano, Cohen realiza una acerada critica del liberalismo incluyendo el igualitario de Rawls no solo como filosofia politica, sino tambien desde la etica personal. Analiza la vida de las personas en general para aducir que la justicia igualitaria no es solo una cuestion de normas que definen la estructura de la sociedad, sino tambien una cuestion de actitud y eleccion personal. Centrandose en el socialismo y en el liberalismo rawlsiano, Cohen establece una conexion entre ambos sistemas de pensamiento y las elecciones que configuran la vida de una persona. En el caso del socialismo, la experiencia vital que se relata es la del propio autor, cuya infancia transcurrio en un entorno comunista, en el Montreal de los anos cuarenta, lo que le inspiro una profunda creencia en una doctrina socialista fuertemente igualitaria.
"Call me Ishmael" is one of the most familiar and oft-quoted opening lines ever written. Although it was originally published in 1851 to little success or acclaim, Moby Dick is generally regarded as Herman Melville's masterpiece and in many circles as the Great American Novel. ááááMelville's epic story of Captain Ahab's obsessive hunt for the great white whale recalls Job in his quest for justice and Oedipus on his crusade for the truth. The tragic figure of Ahab, in whom virtuous and murderous impulses coexist, speaks for the defeats and triumphs of the human spirit. The richness of Melville's prose and the story's sweep are Shakespearean in their grandeur and symbolic power. Moby Dick remains the measure of literary achievement against which all subsequent American novels must be measured. ááááThis edition of Moby Dick is the companion volume to the Hallmark Entertainment television presentation, broadcast on USA Network. áá Enter the Moby Dick sweepstakes at www.usanetwork.com.

Cuentos, ensayos y comentarios varios forman parte del presente volumen que da cuenta de una la relacion epistolar de largo aliento, que inicio en 1915 y se interrumpio pocos meses antes de la muerte de Reyes. Se trata de cinco decadas de correspondencia entre dos amigos que se conocieron en el bachillerato y que participaron en la fundacion del Ateneo de la Juventud. Esa larga relacion epistolar termino con un exabrupto pintoresco y lamentable relacionado con un libro perdido.
