In 2010 he became a founding patron of Ralston College, a new institution in Savannah, Georgia, that focuses on primary texts. His works include Fallen Angels, Till I End My Song: A Gathering of Last Poems, Anatomy of Influence: Literature as a Way of Life and The Shadow of a Great Rock: A Literary Appreciation of The King James Bible.

Relatos y poemas para niños extremadamente… por Harold Bloom
enciclopédico
Harold Bloom, el autor del tan celebrado y polémico "El canon occidental", aprovecha sus más de cuarenta años de experiencia como profesor universitario y crítico literario para ayudar a los lectores a comprender más profundamente la gran literatura. En una época en que los medios de comunicación electrónicos, gracias a su rapidez y su amplia difusión, amenazan con eclipsar la lectura y la literatura, Bloom explora de un modo sencillo y directo cómo hay que leer y por qué. Este ensayo, instructivo y práctico a un tiempo, no va destinado a los medios eruditos y universitarios, sino al público en general amante de la lectura, al que ofrece un brillante análisis de las obras literarias fundamentales. El propósito de Bloom es enseñar a los lectores la manera de introducirse en el campo de la gran literatura para que puedan encontrar por sí mismos lo que tantos buscan: una concepción más firme y precisa de su propio ser. En sus diversas secciones, dedicadas a los cuentos, los poemas, las novelas y las obras teatrales, "Cómo escribir y por qué" examina las obras de autores como Shakespeare, Ernest Hemingway, Jane Austen, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Charles Dickens o William Faulkner. Adentrándose en las obras de esos escritores fundamentales, Harold Bloom no sólo ofrece ilustrativas enseñanzas acerca del mejor modo de leer un texto, sino que pone de manifiesto, además, todo lo que semejantes lecturas pueden dar de sí: placer estético, formación de la personalidad y una vuelta a la subjetividad de los sentimientos acendrados y los pensamientos profundos.… (más)
Este libro del gran crítico literario Harold Boom marca una revolución en los estudios sobre Shakespeare. Es un texto, monumental y definitivo, un lúcido análisis de la obra de quien, como afirma Bloom, nos creo al cual somos. Desde el ingenio de Falstaff a la sublime inteligencia de Hamlet, del aterrador infierno de Macbeth a la agudeza malévola de Yago, Bloom recorre en su análisis la inmensa variedad de personalidades shakespereanas, resaltando aquello que las ha hecho únicas e imprescindibles para la literatura universal. Este es, en suma, un libro provocativo para el pensamiento que despierta la moción de releer al gran dramaturgo isabelino.… (más)
El prestigioso y conocido crítico literario Harold Bloom ha sido un apasionado de la lectura desde que era niño. Así pues, no es de extrañar que decidiera iniciar una nueva obra para explicarnos cómo los libros nos ayudan a vivir y a comprender nuestras vidas. Sin embargo, cuando Bloom llevaba más de medio libro escrito, tuvo un encuentro muy cercano con la muerte. Ya recuperado, se deshizo de todas las páginas que había redactado y volvió a empezar este libro con una nueva sensación de urgencia, apoyándose en algunos de los más grandes pensadores y escritores de Occidente para tratar de saber dónde y cómo se encuentra la sabiduría. En este brillante libro, Bloom nos lleva desde la Biblia hasta el siglo XX en busca de las claves que atesora la literatura en las que encontrar sentido tanto a nuestra vida como a la muerte propia y la de nuestros seres queridos. A través de comparaciones entre el Libro de Job y el Eclesiastés, Platón y Homero, Cervantes y Shakespeare, Montaigne y Bacon, Johnson y Goethe, Emerson y Nietzsche, y Freud y Proust, Bloom extrae las diversas -e incluso contrarias- formas de sabiduría que han moldeado nuestro pensamiento.… (más)
