From the acclaimed Booker Prize-winning novelist, a gorgeous and most of all surprising poetry collection about memory, love, and the act of looking back. Following several of his internationally acclaimed, beloved novels, A Year of Last Things is Michael Ondaatje's long-awaited return to poetry. In pieces that are sometimes wittily funny, moving and always wise, we journey back through time by way of alchemical leaps, unearthing writings by revered masters, moments of shared tenderness, and abandoned landscapes we hold onto to rediscover the influence of every border crossed, Moving from a Sri Lankan boarding school to Moliere's chair during his last stage performance, to Bulgarian churches and their icons, to a California coast, and his beloved Canadian rivers, Michael Ondaatje casts a brilliant eye that merges his past and present, in the way memory and the distant shores of art and lost friends continue to influence all that surrounds him. These poems reflect the life of a writer, traveller and watcher of the world who has never conformed to western traditions - always describing himself as a 'mongrel', someone who contains multitudes, Looking back on a life of displacement and discovery, love and loss, this is an intercultural and brave book, Poetry - where language is made to work hardest - is what Ondaatje has returned to, and this is both an intimate personal record of a life lived and a great artist's guide to the vital, various world around us,

Versión en inglés de POETAS DE MADRID, con Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Góngora, Quevedo, Valle-Inclán y Rubén DaríoThis is Madrid.Madrid. Homeric city, the cradle and grave of many of us that pour out the joyful days of youth among its streets and wineries, throughout its history it has accepted into its fold non-conforming poets from the four corners of the earth, because one is born a poet in his land, but one is made and perishes in Madrid.No matter where you are from, Madrid never leaves you indifferent, it always offers the rhapsodist who has moved to the capital in search of fortune, a lively space about which to write their verses. If our lives are the rivers as Manrique said, today the Manzanares river has been reborn and is full of life.Poets of Madrid is a generous title, as is Madrid. This anthology shows that the city drew them in from very distant places: Rubén Darío, for example, was born in Nicaragua, Valle-Inclán in Galicia, Góngora was Andalusian, Cervantes was born in Alcalá de Henares, thirty kilometres from Madrid, only Francisco de Quevedo and Lope de Vega were true Madrid natives.With this, we are trying to say that the presence of Rubén Darío in the anthology represents the percentage of the Hispanic American population who, proud of the city that embraces them, carries the same language in their voices, Góngora and Valle-Inclán, that of the surrounding areas, Cervantes, that of the city's close neighbours, and Lope and Quevedo, that of those born in Madrid. Because those us of from other parts of the globe were attracted to this city, which is no longer a Manchegan dump, for its courtesy and its lack of rejection, as a place known for its cosmopolitanism should be.

La venerada tradición de la ilustración botánica se remonta al Renacimiento. Surgió del deseo de catalogar la naturaleza en su esplendor impredecible, y la tarea necesitó de la participación de artistas de talento.Con su extraordinaria habilidad para capturar los temas más intrincados de la naturaleza, Pierre-Joseph Redouté está considerado el mejor pintor y grabador de motivos botánicos. Trabajar con plantas vivas en lugar de los especímenes de herbario proporcionó a sus acuarelas una sutileza y frescura inusuales. También fue un innovador en los métodos de impresión, e introdujo en Francia la técnica de grabado del punteado en busca de una mayor exactitud en su arte. Redouté logró por casualidad el apoyo de algunos de los mecenas más influyentes de la época, incluidas María Antonieta y la emperatriz Josefina Bonaparte, lo que le aseguró una buena financiación y exposición de su trabajo.Su impresionante colección comprende más de 2.000 pinturas de plantas realizadas con estricta fidelidad a las formas naturales. En esta exquisita edición de Les Roses, Redouté dirige su atención a la flor más romántica, deseable y evocadora. Publicada originalmente en tres volúmenes entre 1817 y 1824, sigue siendo su obra más famosa y celebrada.

Este catálogo, que acompaña a la exposición homónima celebrada en el Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum y el National Museum of Western Art de Tokio, presenta el papel que desempeñaron los grabados en la creación y la difusión de la imagen de España desde principios del siglo XVII hasta mediados del XX. Partiendo de casi 250 obras conservadas en colecciones japonesas, un grupo de especialistas internacionales encabezados por Kawase Yusuke (comisario de la muestra con Inaba Yuta y editor del catálogo) abordan distintas cuestiones relacionadas con dos ejes fundamentales. Por un lado, estudian cómo las estampas permitieron dialogar con la tradición a través del Quijote o de Velázquez y cómo las obras de tema español realizadas sobre todo por artistas franceses y británicos generalizaron en el siglo XIX la imagen de un país exótico y orientalizante poblado de bandoleros, gitanos, majos y manolas que a duras penas se compadecía con la realidad. Tras detenerse en Goya y la influencia de sus series, analizan el Noucentisme catalán y la obra de figuras clave como Fortuny, trazando después la historia del grabado español durante la primera mitad del siglo XX y su recepción en Japón con artistas de la talla de Picasso, Casas, Miró, Dalí o Tàpies.

John Milton's Paradise Lost is one of the greatest epic poems in the English language. It tells the story of the Fall of Man, a tale of immense drama and excitement, of rebellion and treachery, of innocence pitted against corruption, in which God and Satan fight a bitter battle for control of mankind's destiny. The struggle rages across three worlds - heaven, hell, and earth - as Satan and his band of rebel angels plot their revenge against God. At the center of the conflict are Adam and Eve, who are motivated by all too human temptations but whose ultimate downfall is unyielding love.Marked by Milton's characteristic erudition, Paradise Lost is a work epic both in scale and, notoriously, in ambition. For nearly 350 years, it has held generation upon generation of audiences in rapt attention, and its profound influence can be seen in almost every corner of Western culture.

El 18 de noviembre de 1928, el ratón más famoso del mundo hizo su primera aparición. Hoy celebramos los 90 años de Mickey en una de las publicaciones ilustradas más completas sobre el universo Disney. Desde los primeros bocetos de un personaje que, en un principio, se llamó Mortimer, repasamos la carrera de la creación más famosa de Walt Disney y Ub Iwerks, que alcanzó una inmensa popularidad en todo el mundo sólo comparable al éxito anterior de Charlie Chaplin.Con acceso ilimitado a los archivos de Disney, así como a colecciones públicas y privadas, los autores dan vida a la historia de éxito de Mickey. El diseño conceptual, los borradores de las historias, los fondos y los dibujos animados, así como fotografías históricas repasan los orígenes y la evolución de clásicos intemporales como Willy y el barco de vapor, El concierto y El sastrecillo valiente, y siguen a Mickey a medida que amplía su legendaria serie de cortometrajes animados gracias a su aparición en dos largometrajes históricos: Fantasía y Las aventuras de Bongo, Mickey y las judías mágicas.La extensa investigación en los archivos añade nueva información sobre capítulos de la carrera de Mickey poco conocidos, como el origen del Mickey Mouse Club o su utilización como símbolo patriótico durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En este recorrido descubrimos la obra de los principales artistas que dieron forma a Mickey en el cine y los cómics, incluyendo a figuras de la talla de Ub Iwerks, Win Smith, Ferdinand Horvath, Freddie Moore, Floyd Gottfredson, Carl Barks, Manuel Gonzales, Paul Murry, Romano Scarpa, Giorgio Cavazzano, Byron Erickson y César Ferioli.Mickey Mouse ha dejado una huella imborrable tanto en la cultura cotidiana como en el arte más elevado, convirtiéndose en uno de los temas favoritos de artistas pop como Andy Warhol, Keith Haring y Roy Lichtenstein. Como a Walt Disney le gustaba decir: “,Sólo espero que nunca perdamos de vista una cosa: que todo lo empezó un ratón”,. Y no parece que su éxito tenga fecha de caducidad. Hoy, a la tierna edad de 90 años, Mickey sigue siendo tan adorable y popular como siempre. Rindamos homenaje al pequeñín, a su leyenda y a su legado con un monumento al ratón.Copyright © 2020 Disney Enterprises, Inc.Sobre la serie¡TASCHEN ya tiene 40 años!

The Little Prince describes his journey from planet to planet, each tiny world populated by a single adult. It's a wonderfully inventive sequence, which evokes not only the great fairy tales but also such monuments of postmodern whimsy as Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities. And despite his tone of gentle bemusement, Saint-Exupéry pulls off some fine satiric touches, too.

Ese conjunto de condicionantes y la necesidad de rapidez hacen que la concepción de embalajes dependa de muchos factores y especialistas diferentes, desde diseñadores hasta proveedores de servicios y materiales e impresores. Como resultado, el diseño de packaging se ha convertido en un mundo en sí mismo.En atención a todos esos aspectos, Pentawards ha creado el premio más dinámico y diverso del sector, que existe desde hace 15 años. Todos los años, Pentawards establece un punto de referencia de calidad mundial con su exploración de los diseños de embalajes más inteligentes y eclécticos. The Package Design Book - Volume 2 presenta a los ganadores de la última década al tiempo que reconoce el packaging como una forma de arte caleidoscópica. Además de desarrollos nuevos y sorprendentes, el libro ofrece una clara panorámica de la evolución de toda la industria, en especial de las áreas de nuevos materiales y sostenibilidad.
