Gayle, Mike

A debut that took Great Britain by storm, My Legendary Girlfriend introduced the world to the loveable, lovestruck Will Kelly. It’s been three years since his heartthrob, Agnes, wrecked his life with a chat that started, “It’s like that song. ‘If you love somebody, set him free.’” But no matter how much time goes by, Will doesn’t feel very free. He still makes lists of each birthday present Aggi ever gave him, has gymnastic fantasies about a perfect reunion night with her, dwells on the first words she uttered to him.How long can a person stay down in the dumps after being dumped? And how much longer before Will dumps Martina, the sweet but clingy girl he’s seeing? Will anyone ever measure up to his Legendary Girlfriend?Fresh, endearing, and full of humor, My Legendary Girlfriend tells a story that will ring true for everyone who’s ever tried to mend a broken heart.

Saint-Exupéry, Antoine de

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.

Light of Spain
Avui -5% en Llibres

Espinosa de los Monteros, Patr

These pages tell the story without words of a journey through Spain in which the author, the photographer Fernando Manso, visited unknown and hidden corners and captured them on the plates of his large-format camera. From the remotest parts of Galicia to those of Almería, he passed through coasts, deserts and mountains, stopping at old churches, ghostly castles or majestic cathedrals, in forests and gorges, at natural pools and salt mines, and at cemeteries, Arab baths and hermitages carved out of the rock. Fernando has made the light of these places into the leading figure of his journey. His is a different light, as he has relinquished blue skies and brilliant sunshine, often the stuff of clichés, to make way for visions of places that appear to us with such intimate truth that even if we know them, we can barely recognise them. This is thanks to his technique, his art and the patience with which he waits for the light. Fernando's luxury is being able to use all the time in the world to draw us into an artistic heritage that is sometimes secret and hard to reach, and which the viewer has to know how to see. He reveals these places, often in danger of disappearing, after detailed investigation. Both architecture and landscape - for he knows that natural scenery is also a major patrimony that has to be affectionately preserved and protected from speculation - belong to all of us, and we are responsible for their care. We must be aware of this. The result of that trip is this publication, with beautiful images in reproductions of exceptional quality that present us with a vision of Spain in a different light.

Kentridge, William

L'artista sud-africà William Kentridge no es refia d'aquells que abracen cegament les pròpies certeses sense tenir en compte els dubtes i les paradoxes. L'ambigüitat i les contradiccions són al centre de la seva obra, que ha crescut i s'ha transformat al ritme de la polièdrica Sud-àfrica. El setembre del 2020, la periodista Gemma Parellada va entrevistar William Kentridge al seu estudi de Johannesburg amb motiu de l'exposició que l'artista preparava per al CCCB. Kentridge va parlar de segregació, de les repercussions del colonialisme i de la lluita antiracista, dels desequilibris i dels abusos de poder, del privilegi i del paper de l'art a l'hora de repensar els relats dominants.

Dixon, Chris

What will the internet of the future look like? The internet of today is a far cry from its early promise of a decentralized, democratic network of unbridled innovation. In the past decade, the internet has fallen under the control of a tiny group of massive companies like Apple, Google, and Facebook. But it doesn't have to be that way. In Read Write Own, tech visionary Chris Dixon reveals how to save the internet from itself. Drawing on 25 years at the vanguard of internet innovation, Dixon offers an epic account of the three ages of the internet. First came the 'read' era, in which the earliest networks democratized information - creating an anarchic playground for bloggers, coders and artists. Next came the 'read-write' era, in which sprawling corporations democratized publishing - turning us all into small-time content creators but seizing the proceeds for themselves. Now, we are entering the third age of the internet: an era in which blockchain networks have begun to democratize ownership, granting power and economic benefits to all who use the internet. Some call it the era of web3. Dixon calls it the era of 'read-write-own'. Read Write Own cuts through the hype surrounding crypto, blockchains and NFTs to offer a clear-eyed account of where we've been and where we're going. It is not just an intoxicating vision of a better internet. It is a playbook for how to build it.

Theology and the anthropology of chisiti
Avui -5% en Llibres

Sweeney, John

Anthropological theory can radically transform our understanding of human experience and offer theologians an introduction to the interdisciplinary nature between anthropology and Christianity.Both sociocultural anthropology and theology have made fundamental contributions to our understanding of human experience and the place of humanity in the world. But can these two disciplines, despite the radical differences that separate them, work together to transform their thinking on these topics? Robbins argues that they can. To make this point, he draws on key theological discussions of atonement, eschatology, interruption, passivity, and judgement to rethink important anthropological debates about such topics as ethical life, radical change, the ways people live in time, agency, gift giving, and the nature of humanity. The result is both a major reconsideration of important aspects of anthropological theory through theological categories and a series of careful readings of influential theologians such as Moltmann, Pannenberg, Jüngel, and Dalferth informed by rich ethnographic accounts of the lives of Christians from around the world. In conclusion, Robbins draws on contemporary discussions of secularism to interrogate the secular foundations of anthropology and suggests that the differences between anthropology and theology surrounding this topic can provide a foundation for transformative dialogue between them, rather than being an obstacle to it. Written as a work of interdisciplinary anthropological theorizing, this book also offers theologians an introduction to some of the most important ground covered by burgeoning field of the anthropology of Christianity while guiding anthropologists into core areas of theological discussion. Although theoretically ambitious, the book is clearly argued throughout and written to be accessible to all readers in the social sciences, theology, and religious studies interested in the place of religion in social life and human experience.
