Cuentos de la selva
Los protagonistas de Cuentos de la selva son animales típicos de la selva misionera que adquieren rasgos humanos, con sus mismos vicios y debilidades, y llevan a cabo acciones heroicas a raíz de pequeñas o grandes disputas, enemistades o envidias, que concluyen en un mensaje o moraleja, lo que las emparenta con las fábulas. Un universo en el que el hombre y el animal luchan, cada uno a su manera, por su propia supervivencia.

Don Quijote de la Mancha. El curioso impertinente
Considerada una novela (en este caso una novela breve o relato largo dentro de otra novela -Don Quijote de la Mancha-), Cervantes aplica su prosa barroca pero clara y llena de accidentes para contar la obsesión de Anselmo en probar que su esposa Camila le es fiel. La trama comienza in medias res, puesto que antes de que Anselmo, Camila y Lotario llegaran a ser "dos caballeros ricos y principales" y "una doncella principal y hermosa" han ocurrido muchos acontecimientos que no se narran, como en los mejores cuentos. Su comienzo delata el interés por cautivar al lector.

El desaparecido
En aquella calle popular, transitada, llena de tiendas y próxima al mercado, la greguería de la Nochebuena era formidable hasta el amanecer. La familia Sampedro, que iba a sentarse a cenar, cerró las maderas, por no oír el rasgueo de las guitarras, los canticios de los beodos, el estridor de las trompas, el repique de las panderetas. Cuando la gente está contristada, el alborozo ajeno parece que aumenta el pesar. La familia Sampedro no vestía luto; era algo peor: el peso de un misterio, de una trágica incertidumbre. El hijo menor, Solano, llevaba más de año y medio sin aparecer, aunque se le buscaba...

Graphic Myths and Legends: Demeter & Persephone: Spring Held Hostage [A Greek Myth]
This graphic novel tells the story of Demeter, the Greek goddess of the harvest, and her daughter, Persephone. Demeter rules over a perpetual summer on earth, where crops, trees, and flowers grow in abundance. Persephone, young and beautiful, unknowingly attracts the attention of the lonely god of the Underworld, Hades. Hades kidnaps Persephone, and a frantic Demeter searches in vain for her daughter. Finally, Demeter retreats to her temple in mourning. The goddess's sorrow causes the crops to die and the ground to freeze. The first winter falls over Greece. As people begin to starve, the other Olympian gods and goddesses try to convince Demeter to accept a marriage between Persephone and Hades. But Demeter will not give up her daughter forever to the Underworld. Finally a compromise is struck: Persephone will stay with Hades for half a year (winter). When she comes back from the Underworld to spend half a year with her mother, spring returns to earth.
