I'm going to buy a Digital camera with a wide angle telephoto lens. Do you know what site I can find photos that shows what every lens can brig to the photographer? My purpose is to bring a far away back view to the camera (not much) and put my family within. Wich one do you suggest?.

I think you are a bit confused.
A wide angle lens and a telephoto lens are quite different. The former giving a wide angle of view, the latter giving a narrow angle of view.
One which combines the ability of both is the so-called 'zoom' lens.
Go to a store/shop and have a look through the viewfinder of a few cameras, operating the zoom control to see the effect.
A tip ....... don't use wide angles for portraiture or other fairly close pictures of people's faces. The lens accentuates peoples noses and can be most unflattering.

First, you need to read about cameras and photography. A visit to your library is a good place to start.
If you'd like to start your own photography library, buy a copy of "Object & Image: An Introduction To Photography, Third Edition" by George M. Craven.
The correct term for the lens you seem to want is "zoom lens". It is expressed as two focal lengths - 12-85mm or 28-200mm. The smaller numbers (12mm and 28mm in our example) indicate a "wide angle" while the larger numbers indicate a short telephoto (85mm) and a longer telephoto lens (200mm).
With 36 years of experience with photography I have no idea what you mean by "... a far away back view...". Unless you're trying to say "background" and want to use it to frame your family.
