En aquest llibre, Carlos Soler Chulvi comparteix amb nosaltres unes històries encara més fosques del que havíem pogut imaginar fins ara. Sí, sense cap mena de vergonya va endinsant-se pels racons més tenebrosos i lamentables del nostre esperit. Pels voltants de la seva estimada Almassora o a la plaça de l’Ajuntament, esperant l’eixida del bou de la penya L’Estornell, estranys successos ens posen els pèls de punta, per la seva brutalitat o per la seva sexualitat… Cadascú decideix com llegeix e interpreta els fets com vol! No cal confessar-ho però, si ens ve de gust, podem simpatitzar amb la lasciva Beatriu o amb l’exemplar Samuel quan es deixa envair pels plaers dels opiacis afgans. Però, si no som tan empàtics, podem odiar a una adorable «dona d’aigua» o a la mestra més dolça de totes.

December 2016 - A severed hand is found washed up on a beach next to the Queen's estate at Sandringham. Elizabeth has become quite accustomed to solving even the most complex of murders. And though she quickly identifies the 70-year-old victim, Edward St Cyr, from his signet ring, the search for his killer is not so straightforward.

But when a second man is found dead, and a prominent local woman is nearly killed in a hit-and-run, the mystery takes an even darker turn. With the Christmas break coming to an end, the Queen and her trusted assistant Rozie must race to discover how the pieces of the puzzle fit together.

Yes, even though she secretly admires the work Sankara is doing for his country. Yes, even though she is still grieving the mysterious death of her sister, whose example led Marie to this career path in the first place. Yes, even though a furious part of her suspects she’s being offered the job because of her appearance and not her talent.In the year that follows, Marie will observe Sankara, seduce him, and ultimately have a hand in the coup that will bring him down. But doing so will change everything she believes about what it means to be a spy, a lover, a sister, and a good American.Inspired by true events—Thomas Sankara is known as “Africa’s Che Guevara”—American Spy knits together a gripping spy thriller, a heartbreaking family drama, and a passionate romance. This is a face of the Cold War you’ve never seen before, and it introduces a powerful new literary voice.

Set in the same universe as the acclaimed All the Murmuring Bones and The Path of Thorns (one of Oprah Daily's Top 25 Fantasy Novels of 2022), this beautifully told Gothic fairy tale of ghosts, witches, deadly secrets and past sins, will be perfect for fans of Hannah Whitten and Ava Reid.Ellie Briar is the first non-witch to be born into her family for generations. The Briar family of witches run the town of Silverton, caring for its inhabitants with their skills and magic. In the usual scheme of things, they would be burnt for their sorcery, but the church has given them dispensation in return for their protection of the borders of the Darklands, where the much-feared Leech Lords hold sway.Ellie is being trained as a steward, administering for the town, and warding off the insistent interest of the church. When her grandmother dies suddenly, Ellie's cousin Audra rises to the position of Briar Witch, propelling Ellie into her new role. As she navigates fresh challenges, an unexpected new ability to see and speak to the dead leads her to uncover sinister family secrets, stories of burnings, lost grimoires and evil spells. Reeling from one revelation to the next, she seeks answers from the long dead and is forced to decide who to trust, as a devastating plot threatens to destroy everything the Briar witches have sacrificed so much to build.Told in the award-winning author's trademark gorgeous, addictive prose, this is an intricately woven tale of a family of witches struggling against the bonds of past sins and persecution.

De vegades considerem que s’ha fet algún progrès, però que no és prou convincent. Ho podem expressar de manera més o menys semblant a quan parlem de la meteorologia i trobem sempre que plou d’una manera anàrquica (“o plou poc o plou massa”, segons Raimon), però quasi sempre ens quedem pobres de líquid.Plou, però no cau mai tot allò que hauria de caure. I aquesta constatació meteorològica la transposem, com una transparència fotogràfica, a la nostra situació nacional, política, social i cultural”. Així situa l’autor el projecte d’aquest dietari d´anotacions creuades: un fet del dia a la vora d’un record d’un altre dia.El resultat és un mosaic diàfan i clarivident.

De caràcter autobiogràfic, Viure al dia és la crònica dels esforços del jove Paul Auster per superar les penúries econòmiques de la joventut: irònic i punyent a parts iguals, el relat del periple de noi indomable és, d'una banda, una reflexió sobre els diners (i sobre el fet de no tenir-ne), i de l'altra, un retrat de l'artista com a buscavides, que salta d'una feina a l'altra per mirar de sobreviure. D'aquesta època de joventut van néixer les primeres obres d'Auster, incloses en annexos que completen l'autobiografia.

Charles Brockden Brown (1771-1810) nació en el seno de una familia de comerciantes cuáqueros de Filadelfia. Fue abogado, historiador y editor, pero su fama le llegaría como escritor y es considerado el padre de la novela estadounidense. Influido por las ideas progresistas de escritores radicales británicos de la época, como Mary Wollstonecraft y William Godwin, su obra combina los subgéneros góticos de la era revolucionaria, como el «Schauerromantik» alemán o las novelas sentimentales, con los conocimientos científicos más avanzados de la Ilustración tardía. En 1798 publicó su primera novela, «Wieland, o la Transformación», una incomparable obra de terror gótico, a la que seguirían seis más. En una tierra desprovista de castillos y fantasmas, pero saturada de teocracia puritana y fanatismo religioso, Brown encontró material para construir un relato gótico, inspirado en los terribles crímenes acaecidos en Tomhannock en 1781: la extraña historia de un granjero, preso de una locura que le lleva a asesinar sin piedad a su familia, obedeciendo un inescrutable mandato divino. Implicado en esta siniestra trama, destaca el personaje de Carwin, dotado de una facultad cercana a la ventriloquía, que le permite proyectar su voz a distancia, creando así un efecto de bilocación. La presente edición incluye el relato, Las Memorias de Carwin, el biloquista, que ofrece al lector la posibilidad de conocer la vida anterior de este fascinante personaje cuya influencia llegó incluso a Mary Shelley y a su «Frankenstein».

Traditionally used in Aboriginal funeral ceremonies, memorial poles have been transformed into compelling contemporary artworks. The memorial pole is made from the trunk of the Eucalyptus tetradonta, hollowed naturally by termites. When the bones of the deceased were placed inside, it signified the moment when the spirit had finally returned home-when they had left the ''outside'' world, and become one with the ''inside'' world of the ancestral realm. Today, these works of art have become a powerful symbol of Aboriginal culture's significance around the globe. The artists featured in the book-including John Mawurndjul, Djambawa Marawili, and Nyapanyapa Yunupingu-are some of Australia's most acclaimed contemporary artists. Taking their inspiration from ancient clan insignia, the designs on these poles are transformed in new and personal ways that offer a powerful reminder of the resilience and beauty of Aboriginal culture. This book features dazzling color images and impeccable scholarship and includes essays from some of the leading scholars in the field of Aboriginal art.,This groundbreaking book focuses on contemporary memorial poles, one of the most unique forms of contemporary Aboriginal Australian art.

En los ensayos que componen Cosas contemporáneas se suceden consideraciones teóricas, lecturas de clásicos modernos (Vallejo, Pessoa) o de poetas de tiempos y espacios diversos, de Luis Feria a Tania Favela, de Roberto Bolaño a Liu Xia o Mariano Peyrou, y, finalmente, un rincón palestino, que, con las palabras de Emil Habibi, Murid Barguti y Jean Genet, mira el difícil presente a través de la escritura y la historia.El marco lo ofrece el ensayo inicial «Notas sobre pérdida y deseo de realidad en poesía»: síntesis de ideas nacidas en trabajos anteriores (sobre la pérdida de realidad, la lectura del Simbolismo, la poética como impulso utópico, el lugar de la poesía, el poema como acto de habla, la literalidad, la referencia, lo inacabado…) y, a la vez, proyecto de reflexión para los posteriores. Así, se conforma una red −discontinua y asimétrica, sin jerarquía, cruzándose sus hilos y alejándose o volviendo atrás− de tentativas, que atraviesa el libro.Un poema de Gastão Cruz da título al conjunto, dibujando el peculiar cruce de finitud y duración que es lo contemporáneo: «Las aves de las que soy contemporáneo / los árboles, los barcos que por la ría / se mueven o se fijan como imágenes / que simultáneamente brillan / en todos los momentos en que las vimos, / […] mientras / la mente oscila en los límites de una / vida. / […] Cosas contemporáneas de una vida / que excede mi vida».Miguel Casado

From the New York Times bestselling author of Capote’s Women comes an astonishing account of the revolutionary artist Andy Warhol and his scandalous relationships with the ten women he deemed his “superstars”—beginning in 1964 and culminating four years later when Warhol was shot and almost killed.“Now and then, someone would accuse me of being evil,” Andy Warhol confessed, “of letting people destroy themselves while I watched, just so I could film them.” Obsessed with celebrity, the silver-wigged artistic icon Andy Warhol created an ever-evolving entourage of stunning women he dubbed his “superstars”—Jane Holzer, Edie Sedgwick, Nico, Ultra Violet, Viva, Brigid Berlin, Ingrid Superstar, International Velvet, Mary Woronov, and Candy Darling. He gave several of them new names and manipulated their beauty and talent for his art and social status, with little concern for their safety or dignity. Then, one after one, he cut them out of his life.In Warhol’s Muses, New York Times bestselling biographer Laurence Leamer shines a spotlight on the complex women who inspired and starred in Warhol’s legendary underground films—The Chelsea Girls, The Nude Restaurant and Blue Movie, among others. Drawn by the siren call of Manhattan life in the sixties, they each left their protected enclaves and ventured to a new world, Warhol’s famed Factory, having no sense that they would never be able to return to their old homes and familiar ways again. Sex was casual, drugs were ubiquitous, parties were wild, and to Warhol, everyone was transient, temporary, and replaceable. It was a dangerous game he played with the women around him, and on a warm June day in 1968, someone entered the Factory and shot him, changing his life, forever. Warhol’s Muses explores the lives of ten endlessly intriguing women, transports us to an era that changed America forever, and uncovers the life and work of one of the most legendary artists of all time.

El libro de Arturo González-Campos que te autoayuda a fracasar estrepitosamente en la vida «Amo las cosas y, por lo tanto, amo a las personas que hacen cosas. Gente que dedica su vida a hacer libros, pelis, canciones, cómics..., cosas. Gracias a ellas soy un poco menos imbécil, lo cual, en mi caso, tampoco es mucho decir». Enhorabuena por tu fracaso es un desnudo integral de Arturo González-Campos, lo que no sabemos si dice mucho a su favor. Una oda a lo genuino y una invitación a que te atrevas a persistir en lo que te apasiona, a fracasar y fracasar y volver a intentarlo para, con toda probabilidad, seguir aprendiendo a fracasar. Este es un relato (¿o unas memorias?) sobre esos fracasos que, sólo a veces, se convierten en éxitos y que han permanecido en la mente de Arturo González-Campos durante toda su vida. Listas de canciones, de películas, de libros, pequeñas historias personales que se hacen universales y anécdotas amargamente tristes que te matarán de risa. Todo eso y mucho más podrás encontrar en esta «artubiografía de las cosas» que es una puta locura. «Este libro no te va a llevar ni a Ítaca ni a Mordor. Mira fijamente el trayecto de la Roomba de tu casa, eso va a ser este libro. Este libro son mis cajitas».
