Don Juan Manuel After buying a bone box at the market of Plaza Redonda in Valenza, Sara and her twin sister Lola can’t sleep at night. A strange professor helps them investigate when a strange feathered snake wakes the two girls up at night. 64 pages


Adaptación de R. Ariolfo

El conde Lucanor is a collection of short stories with a moralistic theme, in which Patronio, the Count’s advisor, offers his advice on the issues provoked by each event being told. The stories, which feature farmers, courtiers, and beggars as the lead characters, offer an insight into the lifestyle of the Spanish royalty and society in the Middle Ages.

These four short stories focus on the shortcomings and virtues of people and animals. Set in a thriving area of wildlife between the south of Brazil, the east of Paraguay, and northeast Argentina, the stories illustrate how man and nature can co-exist peacefully.

Theses brief narrations, La Corza Blanca and La Cruz del Diablo, perfectly combine fiction with a folktale-like atmosphere. They are filled with romanticism and mystery. 96 pages

Parzival

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Wolfram von Eschenbach Bearbeitet von A. Seiffarth

Sabine Werner

This story follows Parzival from his boyhood and career as a knight in the court of King Arthur, to his ultimate achievement as King of the Temple of the Grail. This is not simply a tale of chivalry, but an epic quest for spiritual education, as Parzival must conquer his ignorance and pride and learn humility before he can finally win the Holy Grail.

The sometimes dramatic, sometimes funny episodes from the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ensure a captivating and inspiring experience. Known as one of the greatest musicians and composers of all time, this selection features the early years of the “miracle child,” the long tedious journeys through Europe, the successes, and the failures that lead to his early death in abject poverty.
