La creación de la ruta del Kisokaido fue una orden del entonces sogún de Japón, Tokugawa Ieyasu, que a principios del siglo XVII decretó la construcción de estaciones de descanso en el penoso tramo que iba desde Edo (actual Tokio) hasta Kyoto. Se abrieron posadas, tiendas y restaurantes que proporcionaban alimento y alojamiento a los agotados viajeros. En 1835, el famoso xilógrafo Keisai Eisen recibió el encargo de realizar una serie de estampas que representaran la ruta del Kisokaido. Después de hacerse cargo de 24 de estas estampas, Eisen fue sustituido por Utagawa Hiroshige, que completó la serie de 70 imágenes en 1838.Tanto Eisen como Hiroshige eran reconocidos maestros del grabado. Las sesenta y nueve estaciones del Kisokaido pone de manifiesto los distintos estilos de ambos y su habilidad común. Desde el ajetreado punto de partida de Nihonbashi hasta el castillo de Iwamurata, Eisen opta por una paleta más apagada, pero sobresale en la figuración, sobre todo en la representación de mujeres glamurosas, y se recrea en las imágenes de toda la actividad que se realiza a lo largo del camino, desde el herrado de un caballo hasta campesinos aventando arroz. Hiroshige demuestra su dominio del grabado paisajista con escenas grandiosas y evocadoras, desde las tranquilas orillas del río Ota hasta el imponente paso de Wada o una ascensión a la luz de la luna entre Yawata y Mochizuki.Tomadas en conjunto, las estampas de Las sesenta y nueve estaciones del Kisokaido suponen no sólo un animado ejemplo del arte de la xilografía, con composiciones audaces y un uso experimental del color, sino también un encantador tapiz del Japón del siglo XIX, mucho antes de que apareciera el fantasma de la industrialización. Esta nueva edición de TASCHEN presenta la serie con la excelencia que merece. Las imágenes reproducidas provienen de la única primera edición de la serie completa que se conoce, lo que asegura la mejor calidad para esta legendaria obra.

El 1 de octubre de 1958 se puso en marcha la primera agencia espacial civil del mundo como respuesta de emergencia al lanzamiento del Sputnik por parte de la Unión Soviética un año antes. En una década, la National Aeronautics and Space Administration, universalmente conocida como NASA, pasó de estar integrada por unos modestos equipos de investigación que experimentaban con pequeños cohetes adaptados a convertirse en una de las empresas tecnológicas y de gestión más grandes de la historia, capaz de llevar personas a la Luna a bordo de cohetes gigantescos y de enviar robots exploradores a Venus, Marte y mundos mucho más lejanos.A pesar de ocasionales y trágicos reveses en la historia de la NASA, el programa Apolo sigue simbolizando la inventiva estadounidense, sus transbordadores espaciales lideraron la construcción de la Estación Espacial Internacional y su deslumbrante conjunto de satélites astronómicos, módulos de descenso y programas de geociencias han transformado nuestra comprensión del cosmos y del frágil lugar que ocupa en él nuestro mundo.A lo largo de los 60 años de historia de la NASA, las imágenes han desempañado un papel fundamental. ¿Quién no está familiarizado hoy con las fascinantes imágenes del universo que nos brinda el telescopio espacial Hubble o con las nítidas panorámicas de Marte enviadas por los vehículos de exploración espacial de la NASA? ¿Y quién podría olvidar las fotografías de los hombres caminando por la superficie lunar?Este volumen compacto está basado en nuestro libro XXL, documentado y editado en colaboración con la NASA, y reúne cientos de fotografías e imágenes renderizadas poco conocidas que han sido escaneadas y remasterizadas con la última tecnología.

After she overhears her latest date say she is “so unbelievably boring,” Annie starts to think the problem might be her. Is it too late to become flirtatious and fun like the leading ladies in her favorite romance movies? Maybe she only needs a little practice... and Annie has the perfect person in mind to be her tutor: Will Griffin.Will—the sexy , tattooed, and absolutely gorgeous bodyguard—is temporarily back in Rome, providing security for Amelia Rose as excitement builds for her upcoming marriage to Noah Walker, Annie’s brother.

As the lines of their friendship become dangerously blurred, Annie reconsiders her dream guy. Maybe her love life doesn’t need to be perfect—it just needs to be real.

One of the last surviving members of the futurist generation, Bruno Munari's Design as Art is an illustrated journey into the artistic possibilities of modern design translated by Patrick Creagh published as part of the 'Penguin on Design' series in Penguin Modern Classics.'The designer of today re-establishes the long-lost contact between art and the public, between living people and art as a living thing'Bruno Munari was among the most inspirational designers of all time, described by Picasso as 'the new Leonardo'. Munari insisted that design be beautiful, functional and accessible, and this enlightening and highly entertaining book sets out his ideas about visual, graphic and industrial design and the role it plays in the objects we use everyday. Lamps, road signs, typography, posters, children's books, advertising, cars and chairs - these are just some of the subjects to which he turns his illuminating gaze.How do we see the world around us? The Penguin on Design series includes the works of creative thinkers whose writings on art, design and the media have changed our vision forever.Bruno Munari (1907-1998), born in Milan, was the enfant terrible of Italian art and design for most of the twentieth century, contributing to many fields of both visual (paint, sculpture, film, industrial design, graphics) and non-visual arts (literature, poetry). He was twice awarded the Compasso d'Oro design prize for excellence in his field.If you enjoyed Design as Art, you might like John Berger's Ways of Seeing, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.

A clear and eloquent leading translation of the Roman emperor’s reflections of human life and death, timeless Stoic philosophy that inspires countless others including The Daily Stoic author Ryan Holiday to use philosophy as a tool for self-improvement and resilience to live a better lifeWritten in Greek by an intellectual Roman emperor without any intention of publication, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius offer a wide range of fascinating spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the leader struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. Spanning from doubt and despair to conviction and exaltation, they cover such diverse topics as the question of virtue, human rationality, the nature of the gods and the values of leadership. But while the Meditations were composed to provide personal consolation, in developing his beliefs Marcus also created one of the greatest of all works of philosophy: a series of wise and practical aphorisms that have been consulted and admired by statesmen, thinkers and ordinary readers for almost two thousand years.To provide a full understanding of Aurelius's seminal work, this edition includes explanatory notes, a general index, an index of quotations, an index of names, and an introduction by Diskin Clay putting the work in its biographical, historical, and literary context, a chronology of Marcus Aurelius's life and career.Penguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
