In the year of the centenary of the death of Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Triangle Books has brought together in one book the best spe- cialists on Domènech in general and on its buildings in particular to understand the multifaceted personality and interpret the work of a major architect in the history of European Art. The book begins with introductory articles that present the architect in the context of the European Art Nouveau and explain his different facets: civic, political, academic... and continues with the monographs of his buildings, from the Editorial Montaner i Simon (1979-1881) to the Casa Fuster (1908-1911) or the Palau de la Música or the Hospital de Sant Pau, both World Heritage Sites.

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.

Born in Argentina and based in Berlin, Tomás Saraceno creates projects in dialogue with forms of life and life-forming, rethinking dominant threads of knowledge in the “Capitalocene” era and recognising diverse modes of being. This book, published to accompany a solo exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery in London, presents his ongoing research on proverbs. The proverbs collected here are an invitation, an exercise in collective memory, for some to change habits and not the climate. Saraceno pursues the question of whether such popular sayings carry the knowledge to forecast other climates. What if we could all re-learn how to read the weather without relying on the digital cloud?

In 2018, without any plan or agenda for what might happen next, Patti Smith posted her first Instagram photo: her hand with the simple message “Hello Everybody!” Known for shooting with her beloved Land 250 Camera, Smith started posting selfies with her phone, portraits of her kids, her radiator, her boots, and her Abyssinian cat, Cairo. Followers felt an immediate affinity with these miniature windows into Smith’s world, her daily coffee, the books she’s reading, the graves of beloved heroes: William Blake, Dylan Thomas, Sylvia Plath, Simone Weil, and Albert Camus. Over the days and months, a coherent story of a life devoted to art took shape in the extraordinarily personal photographs that chart Smith’s passions, devotions, obsessions, and whims. Original to this book are vintage photographs: anniversary pearls, a mother’s keychain, and a husband’s Mosrite guitar. Here, too, are photos from Smith's archives of life on and off the road, train stations, obscure cafés, a notebook always nearby. In wide-ranging yet intimate daily notations, Smith shares dispatches from her travels around the world.

Based on Lindsey Taylor’s popular Wall Street Journal column ‘Flower School,’ on its surface this book demonstrates how Taylor creates stunning but achievable floral arrangements inspired by works of art.

#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.
