The best book of curious stories of Barcelona.In a corner of Paradís Street, there’s a millstone that commemorates the summit of Mount Tàber, the highest point in the Roman city, where Emperor Augustus’ men began constructing the city they named Iulia Augusta Faventia Paterna Barcino.Since then, this city has left us with many anecdotes and curiosities.

The city’s streets conceal latent histories waiting to be uncovered by the walker at the pace of their own steps. Because every corner, every passage, every fountain hides passionate pages, tales of love or war, tragedies, revolts, cries, dreams, and hopes. Those who know the past that envelops them can better understand the future that awaits them. This book shows us, in the form of brushstrokes and in a playful manner, what the origins of the city of Barcelona were and what remains of that Roman Barcino.It is evident that the urban landscape has changed significantly throughout this time, but the traces of that past can still be seen, not only while strolling through Ciutat Vella but also in the most unexpected corner of the city. All it takes is to sit on a stone bench and gaze up at one of the historic buildings or walk on one of the few remaining cobblestone streets. They are silent testimonies of a past that invites us to listen to it.

C'est l'histoire d'une femme mal mariée, de son médiocre époux, de ses amants égoïstes et vains, de ses rêves, de ses chimères, de sa mort. C'est l'histoire d'une province étroite, dévote et bourgeoise. C'est, aussi, l'histoire du roman français. Rien, dans ce tableau, n'avait de quoi choquer la société du Second Empire. Mais, inexorable comme une tragédie, flamboyant comme un drame, mordant comme une comédie, le livre s'était donné une arme redoutable : le style. Pour ce vrai crime, Flaubert se retrouva en correctionnelle. Aucun roman n'est innocent : celui-là moins qu'un autre. Lire Madame Bovary, au XXIe siècle, c'est affronter le scandale que représente une œuvre aussi sincère qu'impérieuse. Dans chacune de ses phrases, Flaubert a versé une dose de cet arsenic dont Emma Bovary s'empoisonne : c'est un livre offensif, corrosif, dont l'ironie outrage toutes nos valeurs, et la littérature même, qui ne s'en est jamais vraiment remise.

Walt Disney soñó durante décadas con crear el mejor complejo de entretenimiento, pero no fue hasta principios de la década de 1950 cuando empezó a hacer realidad su sueño gracias a un equipo al que seleccionó personalmente. Juntos, artistas, arquitectos e ingenieros transformaron un polvoriento campo de naranjos en uno de los destinos más queridos del mundo.

In the late 1910s, in a Europe ravaged by World War I, Danish illustrator Kay Nielsen put the finishing touches on his illustrations of A Thousand and One Nights. The results are considered masterpieces of early 20th-century illustration: bursting with sumptuous colors of deep blues, reds, and gold leaf, and evoking all the magic of this legendary collection of Indo-Persian and Arabic folktales, compiled between the 8th and 13th centuries.However, publishers retreated from Nielsen's project in the financially strapped postwar climate, and the publication never happened. A rising star, Nielsen moved on to other work. This world heritage classic's spectacular pen, ink, and watercolor images remained under lock and key for 40 years. Published just once in the 1970s, the illustrations were rescued from oblivion after Nielsen's death in 1957 and are now held by the UCLA Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, the Art Institute of Chicago, and in two private collections.This publication is a unique compilation of fine art prints and stunning illustrations reproduced directly from Nielsen's original watercolors-the only complete set of his extraordinary drawings to have survived. The book features descriptions of all of the images and three generously illustrated essays on the making of this series, the origin of Nielsen's unique imagery, and a history of the tales. In addition, it shows many unpublished or rarely seen artworks by Nielsen and intricate black-and-white drawings Nielsen created for the original publication.

One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World'The Penguin English Library Edition of Frankenstein by Mary ShelleyA twisted, upside-down creation myth, Mary Shelley's chilling Gothic tale lays bare the dark side of science, and the horror within us all. It tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, who plunders graveyards to create a new being from the bodies of the dead - but whose botched creature causes nothing but murder and destruction. Written after a nightmare when its author was only eighteen, Frankenstein gave birth to the modern science fiction novel.The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.¿A qui va dirigit el llibre FRANKENSTEIN?Frankenstein és una novel·la amb un ampli espectre de lectors. La seva temàtica universal sobre la creació, la responsabilitat, el rebuig i les conseqüències del progrés científic la fa accessible a un públic divers. Es recomana per a lectors joves interessats en la ciència-ficció i el terror gòtic, així com per a adults que busquen una obra literària amb profunditat filosòfica i social. La complexitat de la narrativa i l'exploració de temes morals la converteixen en una lectura enriquidora per a estudiants de literatura i filosofia. En definitiva, l'obra transcendeix les barreres generacionals i ofereix una experiència de lectura significativa per a un ampli rang d'edats i nivells de coneixement.Temes que tracta el llibre FrankensteinFrankenstein explora una multitud de temes interconnectats que la converteixen en una obra complexa i multifacètica. Alguns dels temes més rellevants són:L'ambició científica i les seves conseqüències: La novel·la presenta una crítica a l'ambició desmesurada del científic que busca transcendir els límits naturals sense considerar les implicacions ètiques i morals dels seus actes. El Dr. Frankenstein s'obsessiona amb la creació de vida artificial, sense preveure les conseqüències devastadores del seu experiment. Aquest tema convida a la reflexió sobre la responsabilitat del científic a la societat i la necessitat d'una ètica rigorosa en la investigació.La creació i la responsabilitat: El tema central gira entorn de la creació de vida i la responsabilitat que comporta. Frankenstein crea una criatura, però la abandona a la seva sort, sense assumir les conseqüències dels seus actes. La novel·la explora la relació entre creador i criatura, qüestionant el dret a la creació i l'obligació de cuidar el que s'ha creat.El rebuig i el prejudici: La criatura de Frankenstein és rebutjada per la societat a causa de la seva aparença monstruosa. La novel·la mostra com el prejudici i la por al diferent poden conduir a l'exclusió i la violència. Aquest tema convida a la reflexió sobre la importància de l'acceptació i la tolerància cap als altres, independentment de les seves diferències físiques o socials.La naturalesa humana: Frankenstein explora la naturalesa humana en els seus aspectes més foscos i complexos. La novel·la mostra la capacitat de l'ésser humà per a la crueltat, la venjança i l'autodestrucció, però també la seva capacitat per a l'amor, la compassió i la redempció. L'obra presenta una visió ambivalent de la condició humana, sense simplificacions ni judicis morals fàcils.L'aïllament i la soledat: Tant el Dr. Frankenstein com la seva criatura experimenten un profund aïllament i soledat. El científic s'aïlla per la culpa i l'horror de la seva creació, mentre que la criatura és rebutjada per la societat. La novel·la explora les conseqüències de l'aïllament social i la importància de les relacions humanes per al benestar individual.El poder de la naturalesa: La novel·la contrasta el poder de la naturalesa amb el poder de la ciència. La naturalesa es presenta com una força poderosa i imprevisible, capaç de destruir i crear. La ciència, per la seva banda, es presenta com una eina poderosa, però també perillosa, que pot ser utilitzada per al bé o per al mal.Resum de crítiques, opinions i valoracions del llibre FRANKENSTEINEs considera una obra fonamental de la literatura gòtica i de ciència-ficció, alabada per la seva capacitat per generar inquietud i reflexió. Ha estat objecte de nombroses adaptacions cinematogràfiques i teatrals, el que demostra la seva perdurable influència en la cultura popular. La novel·la ha estat àmpliament estudiada i analitzada des de diferents perspectives, destacant la seva complexitat temàtica i la seva riquesa literària. Es reconeix el seu impacte en la literatura i la seva capacitat per generar debat sobre temes ètics i morals rellevants per a la humanitat. L'obra continua sent llegida i apreciada per la seva capacitat per commoure i desafiar el lector.

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.

From the New York Times-bestselling author of Cutting for Stone comes a stunning and magisterial epic of love, faith, and medicine, set in Kerala, South India, following three generations of a family seeking the answers to a strange secretSpanning the years 1900 to 1977, The Covenant of Water is set in Kerala, on India’s Malabar Coast, and follows three generations of a family that suffers a peculiar affliction: in every generation, at least one person dies by drowning—and in Kerala, water is everywhere. At the turn of the century, a twelve-year-old girl from Kerala's Christian community, grieving the death of her father, is sent by boat to her wedding, where she will meet her forty-year-old husband for the first time. From this unforgettable new beginning, the young girl—and future matriarch, Big Ammachi—will witness unthinkable changes over the span of her extraordinary life, full of joy and triumph as well as hardship and loss, her faith and love the only constants.A shimmering evocation of a bygone India and of the passage of time itself, The Covenant of Water is a hymn to progress in medicine and to human understanding, and a humbling testament to the hardships undergone by past generations for the sake of those alive today. Imbued with humor, deep emotion, and the essence of life, it is one of the most masterful literary novels published in recent years.

One in seven Americans live below the poverty line, a line which hasn't shifted over the last fifty years, despite the efforts of successive governments. Why is there so much scarcity in this land of dollars?In Poverty, by America, acclaimed sociologist Matthew Desmond examines American poverty today and the stories we tell ourselves about it. Spanning social isolation, mass incarceration, the housing crisis, domestic violence, crack and opioid epidemics, welfare cuts and more, Desmond argues that poverty does not result from a lack of resources or good policy ideas. We already know how to eliminate it. The hard part is getting more of us to care. To do so, we need a new story. As things stand, liberals explain poverty through insurmountable structural issues, whereas conservatives highlight personal failings and poor life choices. Both abdicate responsibility, and ignore the reality that the advantages of the rich only come at the expense of the poor. It is time better-paid citizens put themselves back in the narrative, recognizing that the depth and expanse of poverty in any nation reflects our failure to look out for one another. Poverty must ultimately be met by all this suffering and want is our doing, and we can undo it.
