Ernest Hemingway’s most beloved and popular novel ever, with millions of copies sold—now featuring early drafts and supplementary material as well as a personal foreword by the only living son of the author, Patrick Hemingway, and an introduction by the author’s grandson Seán Hemingway.The last novel Ernest Hemingway saw published, The Old Man and the Sea has proved itself to be one of the enduring works of American fiction. It is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck, and his supreme ordeal: a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.Using the simple, powerful language of a fable, Hemingway takes the timeless themes of courage in the face of defeat and personal triumph won from loss and transforms them into a magnificent twentieth-century classic. Written in 1952, this hugely successful novel confirmed his power and presence in the literary world and played a large part in his winning the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature.

Hasta la proliferación de los populismos de derechas, los regímenes que corrompían las reglas democráticas para anular a la oposición y perpetuarse en el poder tenían fundamentalmente signo marxista. Pero el nuevo antiliberalismo nacionalista y ultraconservador, bajo la bandera de la «batalla cultural», le ha arrebatado al chavismo y al socialismo el monopolio del despotismo. El conocido ensayista José Benegas, curtido en la lucha contra los populismos latinoamericanos, desarrolla en este libro la tesis de que el tradicional eje izquierda/derecha ya no permite comprender el actual momento político. Ambos bandos comparten el gusto por los caudillos que destruyen las instituciones, y que tras haber ganado el favor popular en las urnas acaban con los métodos de control a su corrupción, convierten a los poderes legislativos en amanuenses, colocan adeptos en la justicia para blindarse ante cualquier investigación y amordazan a la prensa. Benegas desmonta las trampas retóricas con las que los regímenes populistas, auténticas dictaduras del siglo xxi, instalan el reino de su propia arbitrariedad en nombre de la democracia. Y, al refutar sus presupuestos doctrinales, echa por tierra la legitimidad de los gobiernos que plantean la concentración del poder para mostrarse como salvadores del pueblo. Pero no basta simplemente con exponer estas trampas. Si las prácticas del despotismo populista están triunfando es porque las sociedades están afectadas por una anemia respecto de las ideas de la libertad, la propiedad y el gobierno limitado. Por eso, Un mundo contaminado se propone demostrar que la idea del gobierno como gran benefactor es un mantra a izquierda y derecha que contradice el principio democrático del verdadero autogobierno. Este libro es una contribución inestimable a la causa de la recuperación de la democracia liberal y la institucionalidad perdidas, y del restablecimiento de las bases jurídicas, políticas y éticas de una sociedad libre.

A primera vista, las acuarelas de animales a gran escala tan sumamente detalladas recuerdan a los grabados de los ilustradores del siglo XIX John James Audubon y Edward Lear. Una segunda mirada más de cerca, sin embargo, revela un complejo universo perturbadoramente antropomórfico, lleno de símbolos, bromas pícaras y alusiones a la cualidad ''operística'' de la historia natural tradicional.En este universo visual asombroso y siniestro a un tiempo, las bestias y los pájaros no son meros objetos estéticos sino más bien actores dinámicos en batallas alegóricas: un pavo aplastando a un pequeño loro con sus garras, una colección de monos causando estragos en una mesa formalmente dispuesta, o un búfalo rodeado por una manada de lobos blancos ensangrentados. Las imágenes, deslumbrantes acuarelas, impresionan tanto por su impecable realismo como por su complejo contenido.Disponible originalmente en edición limitada y firmada, este volumen actualizado de Pancha Tantra es el estudio más exhaustivo de la obra de Ford hasta la fecha, que incluye más de 20 nuevas obras del artista. Ofrece detalles deslumbrantes, una exploración en profundidad de su universo visual, una biografía completa y extractos de los textos que le sirvieron de inspiración: desde cuentos populares indios y las cartas de Benjamin Franklin a la Autobiografía de Benvenutto Cellini y la Ornithological Biography de John James Audubon.

In 2014, northeastern Syria might have been the last place you would expect to find a revolution centered on women's rights. But that year, an all-female militia faced off against ISIS in a little town few had ever heard of: Kobani. By then, the Islamic State had swept across vast swathes of the country, taking town after town and spreading terror as the civil war burned all around it. From that unlikely showdown in Kobani emerged a fighting force that would wage war against ISIS across northern Syria alongside the United States. In the process, these women would spread their own political vision, determined to make women's equality a reality by fighting - house by house, street by street, city by city - the men who bought and sold women.

Michel Houellebecq lo hace de nuevo. Después de Submission (2015), centrada en la colonización musulmana, y que anticipó las elecciones presidenciales de 2022, Annihilate se proyecta en 2027. Zemmour sigue trabajando en 2027, «solo tienes que pronunciar tu nombre y la conversación comienza a ronronear de maneras marcadas y suavemente predecibles, un poco como con Georges Marchais en su día, cada uno encuentra sus marcadores sociales, su posicionamiento natural, y saca satisfacciones tranquilas de ellos». Un tono muy kunderiano, Annihilate es quizás el libro maestro del autor, este viejo joven con insolencia desilusionada, endiabladamente inteligente y extrañamente cordel, cuyas proyecciones más acerbicas no dejan de golpear. Bajo un cielo gris, mucho sexo y alcohol, y para terminar una cita con la muerte, sumergirse en la nada. El aleccionismo es completo, una negación total, sin ningún recurso a mentiras maravillosas. Como dice una figura, «el pecado original del cristianismo es la esperanza».

'This book brings together the main contributions contained in the books published by the Spanish Federal Council of the European Movement (CFEME) over the last four years on the subject of EU federal developments and the future of Europe. The aim of this book is to present the political thinking of the Spanish European Movement and its action plans for the 2019-2024 political cycle, focusing on the unique advances that have taken place in the European Union in a federal key. The authors are mainly part of the executive committee of the CFEME and some other are professors, politicians and prominent diplomats linked to the CFEME. A group of young people from the European Movement are also involved. The Spanish Federal Council of the European Movement is a plural, intergenerational association, made up of different types of professionals (although teachers predominate), interregional, and also international, as it includes colleagues from national sections of the International European Movement: Virgilio Dastoli, President of the Italian European Movement, and Yves Bertoncini, Former President of the French European Movement, among others. Finally, it should be noted that the articles featured include illustrious figures in European politics, who have held positions of high responsibility, such as Enrique Barón, President of the European Parliament (1989-1992) and President of the International European Movement (1987-1989), José María Gil-Robles, President of the European Parliament (1997- 1999) and President of the International European Movement (1999-2005), and Josep Borrell, High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (2019-present). We also include a chapter on Spain's role in the European Union since its entry into the EU in 1986, featuring prominent politicians, ministers, ambassadors and secretaries of state, among others, who enrich the vision of Spain within Europe, and not only the analysis of the latest events of the last legislature.

Julian Schnabel convierte la vida en arte y encuentra los asuntos de sus obras en el tejido de lo cotidiano. Utiliza platos rotos como soporte inesperado para sus cuadros y pinta sobre terciopelo, cubiertas de puestos de mercado, fondos de teatro kabuki, lonas militares y de cuadriláteros de boxeo: materiales encontrados que aportan su propia historia a la exploración del artista. Tras el éxito fulgurante de su primera exposición individual en Nueva York en 1979, que lo convirtió en el abanderado del regreso de la pintura, trabajó con todo tipo de medios: realizó esculturas que trasponen sus pinturas al espacio tridimensional como artefactos en bruto, aparentemente desgastados por el paso del tiempo, dirigió películas premiadas que retratan a artistas y otras figuras sutilmente heroicas, e incluso hizo realidad su sueño de construir un palacio veneciano en Nueva York. ''Quiero que mi vida esté en mi obra, comprimida en mi pintura como un coche prensado. De lo contrario, mi trabajo solo son cosas'', ha dicho Schnabel, y esta urgencia impregna su obra sin importar qué soportes o medios elija. Esta monografía de TASCHEN, realizada en estrecha colaboración con el artista, está ahora disponible en una edición popular que presenta la rica variedad de la obra de Schnabel con una profundidad sin precedentes. Completan el volumen textos de amigos y colaboradores: Laurie Anderson elabora una semblanza íntima de Schnabel, en tres ensayos de comisarios e historiadores del arte, Éric de Chassey analiza la pintura, Bonnie Clearwater la escultura y Max Hollein sus obras in situ, Donatien Grau escribe sobre el Palazzo Chupi, la extravagante casa del artista en el West Village de Nueva York, y el novelista Daniel Kehlmann explora su obra cinematográfica. Esta edición le permitirá estudiar las superficies y las acciones y gestos artísticos de Schnabel, y le dará la oportunidad de sentir su arte de un modo que solo experimentarlo en persona puede superar.

Hace unos 50 años, la gente usaba cámaras de 35 mm e Instamatic del mismo modo que nosotros usamos teléfonos inteligentes en la era de Instagram y Snapchat. Tomaban fotos de lo que comían y bebían, de los lugares que visitaban en vacaciones y de las fiestas que celebraban. Inmortalizaron nacimientos de bebés, la bicicleta nueva de un niño o un televisor en color, el turismo en parques nacionales, las salidas a pescar, bodas, fiestas en la oficina, reuniones familiares y parejas bebiendo, cogidos de la mano, besándose o bailando. Estas ocasiones solo tenían sentido para quienes participaban, o tal vez ni siquiera para ellos. El objetivo último de The Anonymous Project es imaginar cuál fue su razón de ser, las emociones ocultas o los motivos que impulsaron a alguien hace décadas a tomar una fotografía.Todo comenzó con una simple compra en eBay. El cineasta Lee Shulman compró un conjunto de diapositivas Kodachrome de 35 mm de fotos familiares anónimas y quedó tan impresionado por ''el valor emocional de estos pedazos de vida'' que supo que debía tener más. Lanzó The Anonymous Project en 2017 y desde entonces ha reunido unas 700.000 imágenes por medio de donaciones o adquisiciones a vendedores de objetos usados.Esta colección presenta una selección de unas 150 imágenes tomadas entre las décadas de 1950 y 1970 que ofrecen una mirada íntima a las vidas de personas anónimas. Los lugares, fechas, fotógrafos y personas retratadas pueden ser desconocidos, pero estas imágenes y las fascinantes historias que contienen las conoce todo el mundo.

From the United States and Britain to continental Europe and beyond, liberal democracy is under siege, while authoritarianism is on the rise. In Twilight of Democracy, Anne Applebaum, an award-winning historian of Soviet atrocities who was one of the first American journalists to raise an alarm about antidemocratic trends in the West, explains the lure of nationalism and autocracy. In this captivating essay, she contends that political systems with radically simple beliefs are inherently appealing, especially when they benefit the loyal to the exclusion of everyone else.Despotic leaders do not rule alone, they rely on political allies, bureaucrats, and media figures to pave their way and support their rule. The authoritarian and nationalist parties that have arisen within modern democracies offer new paths to wealth or power for their adherents. Applebaum describes many of the new advocates of illiberalism in countries around the world, showing how they use conspiracy theory, political polarization, social media, and even nostalgia to change their societies.
