Chiltern creates the most beautiful editions of the World’s finest literature. Your favourite classic titles in a way you have never seen them before, the tactile layers, fine details and beautiful colours of these remarkable covers make these titles feel extra special and will look striking on any shelf.The Secret Garden opens by introducing us to Mary Lennox, a sickly, foul-tempered, unsightly little girl who loves no one and whom no one loves. At the outset of the story, she is living in India with her parents. A dashing army captain and his frivolous, beautiful wife, but is rarely permitted to see them. They have placed her under the constant care of a number of native servants, as they find her too hideous and tiresome to look after. Mary's circumstances are cast into complete upheaval when an outbreak of cholera devastates the Lennox household, leaving no one alive but herself.She is found by a group of soldiers and, after briefly living with an English clergyman and his family, Mary is sent to live in Yorkshire with her maternal uncle, Archibald Craven. Misselthwaite Manor is a sprawling old estate with over one hundred rooms, all of which have been shut up by Archibald Craven. A man whom everyone describes as ''a miserable hunchback,'' Master Craven has been in a state of inconsolable grief ever since the death of his wife ten years before the novel begins. Shortly after arriving at Misselthwaite, Mary hears about a secret garden from Martha Sowerby, her good-natured Yorkshire maidservant. This garden belonged to the late Mistress Craven, after her death, Archibald locked the garden door and buried the key beneath the earth.Mary becomes intensely curious about the secret garden, and determines to find it. This curiosity, along with the vigorous exercise she takes on the moor, begins to have an extremely positive effect upon Mary. She almost immediately becomes less sickly, more engaged with the world, and less foul-tempered. This change is aided by Ben Weatherstaff, a brusque but kindly old gardener, and a robin redbreast who lives in the secret garden. She begins to count these two ''people,'' along with Martha, Dickon Sowerby, and Susan Sowerby, as the friends she has had in her life. Her curiosity is whetted when she hears strange, far-off cries coming from one of the manor's distant rooms.

WINNER OF THE YA BOOK PRIZE 2021 The fourth novel from the phenomenally talented Alice Oseman, author of Solitaire and the graphic novel series Heartstopper - soon to be a major Netflix series. It was all sinking in. I'd never had a crush on anyone. No boys, no girls, not a single person I had ever met. What did that mean? Georgia has never been in love, never kissed anyone, never even had a crush - but as a fanfic-obsessed romantic she's sure she'll find her person one day. As she starts university with her best friends, Pip and Jason, in a whole new town far from home, Georgia's ready to find romance, and with her outgoing roommate on her side and a place in the Shakespeare Society, her 'teenage dream' is in sight. But when her romance plan wreaks havoc amongst her friends, Georgia ends up in her own comedy of errors, and she starts to question why love seems so easy for other people but not for her. With new terms thrown at her - asexual, aromantic - Georgia is more uncertain about her feelings than ever. Is she destined to remain loveless? Or has she been looking for the wrong thing all along? This wise, warm and witty story of identity and self-acceptance sees Alice Oseman on towering form as Georgia and her friends discover that true love isn't limited to romance.

Desde agujeros negros hasta exoplanetas, el telescopio Hubble ha permitido investigarlo todo y ha cambiado no sólo la forma de ver la astronomía sino también nuestra propia sensación de estar en el universo. En el 30 aniversario de su lanzamiento a la órbita terrestre baja, esta edición actualizada de Expanding Universe presenta 30 imágenes nuevas, que desvelan otras joyas ocultas en los archivos del Hubble. Las imágenes, de muy alta resolución y tomadas con apenas luz de fondo, han dado respuesta a algunas de las preguntas más fascinantes sobre el tiempo y el espacio y, a su vez, han planteado misterios nuevos, como la extraña ''energía oscura'' que obliga al universo a expandirse a un ritmo cada vez más acelerado. Un ensayo del crítico fotográfico Owen Edwards explica las imágenes desde una perspectiva fotográfica, mientras que una entrevista con Zoltan Levay revela cómo están compuestas. Los astronautas veteranos de la misión Hubble Charles F. Bolden, Jr y John Mace Grunsfeld también ofrecen su experiencia y conocimientos acerca del legado del telescopio y el futuro de la exploración espacial.

«Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.» A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man falsely charged with the rape of a white girl.

The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice.But the weight of history will only tolerate so much. To Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story, an anti-racist novel, a historical drama of the Great Depression and a sublime example of the Southern writing tradition.

The Bennet family is in a bit of a jam. With five daughters and no sons, their property is entailed away from their line, and all the women will be largely penniless when their father dies. And so the best way to ensure the most comfortable livelihood for all is for at least one of the five girls to marry “well”, which has their mother’s sharp eye ever seeking a single man in possession of a good fortune. The situation deepens when we take a look at the ladies in question. For the Bennet sisters aren’t wholly on board with marrying anyone flung at them. And when the solicitous Mr. Bingley moves in to an elaborate estate nearby, bringing with him some illustrious company, the entire Bennet household is flung on its end. The result is Austen’s signature novel, where many subtle shades of pride do battle with multitudinous layers of prejudice.

''La Torre también está presente en todo el mundo (...) es un símbolo universal de París (...) desde el Oeste americano a Australia, no hay viaje a Francia que no se haga, de algún modo, en nombre de la Torre (...)''.-Roland BarthesCuando Gustave Eiffel terminó de levantar su torre de hierro forjado en el Campo de Marte de París con ocasión de la Exposición Internacional de 1889, afirmó que era la construcción más alta del mundo. Y cuando, 41 años después, el edificio Chrysler, en Nueva York, rozó un poco más el cielo, la Eiffel no perdió un ápice de su altivez. Proyectada originalmente para permanecer en pie durante un período de 20 años, se convirtió en elemento permanente y fascinante de la línea del horizonte parisiense. Imponente de día y centelleante de noche, el enrejado colosal de la torre Eiffel ha cautivado a francófilos y amantes, escritores, artistas y soñadores de todo el mundo, dando la bienvenida a unos siete millones de visitantes cada año.Basada en un pliego original de Gustave Eiffel de edición limitada, este volumen de TASCHEN explora la concepción y construcción de esta estructura excepcional. Poco a poco, añadiendo una capa tras otra, el diseño emblemático de la torre Eiffel evoluciona en este libro a través de las láminas a doble página, los dibujos minuciosos y las fotografías in situ, añadiendo imágenes inéditas y datos adicionales del contexto histórico. El resultado es, al mismo tiempo, una mina de información sobre esta joya de la arquitectura vintage y una inmersión en el concepto creativo escondido tras el icono.

#1 New York Times Bestseller. Over 10 million copies sold. In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be ''positive'' all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. ''F**k positivity,'' Mark Manson says. ''Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it.'' In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—''not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault.'' Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.
