Houellebecq, Michel

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».

The strange death of europe immigration
Avui -5% en Llibres

Murray, Douglas

The Sunday Times number one bestseller The Strange Death of Europe is a highly personal account of a continent and culture caught in the act of suicide. Declining birth-rates, mass immigration and cultivated self-distrust and self-hatred have come together to make Europeans unable to argue for themselves and incapable of resisting their own comprehensive change as a society. This book is not only an analysis of demographic and political realities, but also an eyewitness account of a continent in self-destruct mode. It includes reporting from across the entire continent, from the places where migrants land to the places they end up, from the people who appear to welcome them in to the places which cannot accept them. Told from this first-hand perspective, and backed with impressive research and evidence, the book addresses the disappointing failure of multiculturalism, Angela Merkel's U-turn on migration, the lack of repatriation and the Western fixation on guilt. Murray travels to Berlin, Paris, Scandinavia, Lampedusa and Greece to uncover the malaise at the very heart of the European culture, and to hear the stories of those who have arrived in Europe from far away. In each chapter he also takes a step back to look at the bigger issues which lie behind a continent's death-wish, answering the question of why anyone, let alone an entire civilisation, would do this to themselves He ends with two visions of Europe - one hopeful, one pessimistic - which paint a picture of Europe in crisis and offer a choice as to what, if anything, we can do next.

In this rousing and invaluable read, David Swift urges his fellow white activists to reflect on their behaviour, revealing how our well-meaning language and political arguments are feeding NeoOrientalism and further widening the chasm of racial inequality.

El nombre de Julio Cortázar aún resuena en todo el mundo por su calidadliteraria y por su hondo compromiso con el ser humano. Considerado comouno de los autores más importantes del siglo XX, su vida fue tancontrovertida y apasionante como su obra. Escribió, viajó por diferentespaíses y pasó largas temporadas en ellos dejando un rastro imborrable deprofeta social, especialmente en tierras latinoamericanas. En todo esetiempo Cortázar nunca olvidó su destino y luchó por sus ideales, yafueran artísticos, políticos o metafísicos, y siempre bajo el paraguasde la literatura, su vieja amiga de la infancia que le acompañó hasta lamuerte.Pero tras este autor carismático y cosmopolita, se ocultaba un individuofuera de lo común: una persona de extraordinaria sensibilidad que viviómarcada por los traumas familiares y por una relación conflictiva con supropio país, Argentina. Cortázar fue hombre de grandes amores y deexcelentes amigos, también de oscuros secretos. Basándose en recienteshallazgos documentales, Miguel Dalmau construye una biografía rigurosa,vibrante y atrevida, un retrato que se aleja de los patrones académicosal uso para mostrarnos el lado más íntimo y desconocido de un artistaexcepcional.

Animal farm

Orwell, George

When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master Mr Jones and take over the farm themselves, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality. But gradually a cunning, ruthless élite among them, masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, starts to take control. Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as equal as they thought, and find themselves hopelessly ensnared as one form of tyranny is replaced with another. Orwell's chilling 'fairy story' is a timeless and devastating satire of idealism betrayed by power and corruption.¿A qui va dirigit el llibre Animal farm?Animal Farm és una novel·la accessible a un ampli públic lector. El seu llenguatge senzill i la narració a través d'una faula la fan comprensible per a lectors joves, a partir de l'adolescència, introduint-los a temes complexos de política i poder d'una forma atractiva. No obstant això, la profunditat de la seva crítica social i política la converteix en una lectura enriquidora també per a adults, els quals podran apreciar la sàtira i la complexitat de les seves al·legories. L'obra convida a la reflexió sobre temes universals, per la qual cosa el seu públic objectiu abasta des de joves interessats en la literatura i la història fins a adults que busquen una lectura amb un missatge profund i rellevant.Temes que tracta el llibre Animal farmAnimal Farm explora una varietat de temes rellevants, entrellaçant-los per crear una crítica social i política contundent. Alguns dels temes principals són:L'abús del poder: La novel·la mostra com el poder, fins i tot en mans de qui inicialment busquen el bé comú, pot corrompre i conduir a la tirania. S'observa la transformació dels porcs, inicialment revolucionaris, en opressors despietats.La propaganda i la manipulació: Els porcs utilitzen la propaganda i la manipulació de la informació per controlar la resta d'animals i mantenir el seu poder. S'evidencia com la distorsió de la veritat pot conduir al control social.La naturalesa humana: A través de l'al·legoria animal, Orwell explora la naturalesa humana, les seves debilitats i la seva propensió a la corrupció. La novel·la suggereix que el poder corrompreix independentment de la ideologia o el sistema polític.La revolució i les seves conseqüències: La novel·la analitza les conseqüències d'una revolució, mostrant com les bones intencions poden ser pervertides i com l'idealismo inicial pot donar pas a l'opressió. Es qüestiona si els mitjans justifiquen els fins.La importància de la veritat i la llibertat: La novel·la destaca la importància de la veritat, la llibertat de pensament i la resistència a l'opressió. Es mostra com la supressió de la veritat i la llibertat d'expressió són eines essencials per al manteniment del poder.El totalitarisme: L'obra presenta una crítica al totalitarisme, mostrant com els sistemes autoritaris poden sorgir fins i tot de moviments inicialment revolucionaris. S'analitza la manipulació, la propaganda i el control social com a mecanismes d'opressió.Resum de crítiques, opinions i valoracions del llibre Animal farmEncara no hi ha opinions o crítiques sobre Animal farm recopilades en aquest resum.

Franzen, Jonathan

The climate crisis is here. Our chance to stop it has come and gone, but this doesn’t have to mean the world is ending.‘If you care about the planet, and about the people and animals who live on it, there are two ways to think about this. You can keep on hoping that catastrophe is preventable, and feel ever more frustrated or enraged by the world’s inaction. Or you can accept that disaster is coming, and begin to rethink what it means to have hope.’The honesty and realism of Jonathan Franzen’s writings on climate have been widely denounced and just as widely celebrated. Here, in his definitive statement on the subject, Franzen confronts the world’s failure to avert destabilising climate change and takes up the question: Now what?

David Diao

Tinari, Philip

Tracing a remarkably varied career, this monograph on the painter David Diao follows his stylistic evolution-from abstraction to genre-defying and candid self-exploration.,his book accompanies the first full-scale retrospective of David Diao's entire oeuvre. It is a career of twists and turns- Diao's work was originally influenced by the New York School of the 1960s before he became obsessed with the work of Barnett Newman, referencing many of the artist's paintings in his own. After a period of restless inactivity, Diao's most recent works touch on his personal history as a Chinese immigrant in America, modernist architecture, and identity politics. In addition to spectacular reproductions of Diao's work over four decades, this comprehensive book features illustrations and essays on Diao's treatment of identity and his aversion to categorization, and analysis of Diao's work as a method of capturing the process of forgetting and the inherent fallibility of art historical memory. Long overdue, this book celebrates Diao's unique vision and art.

Tzemach Lemmon, Gayle

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.

Histoire d'amour d'un petit garçon arabe pour une très vieille femme juive: Momo se débat contre les six étages que Madame Rosa ne veut plus monter et contre la vie parce que «ça ne pardonne pas» et parce qu'il n'est «pas nécessaire d'avoir des raisons pour avoir peur». Le petit garçon l'aidera à se cacher dans son «trou juif», elle n'ira pas mourir à l'hôpital et pourra ainsi bénéficier du droit sacré «des peuples à disposer d'eux-mêmes» qui n'est pas respecté par l'Ordre des médecins. Il lui tiendra compagnie jusqu'à ce qu'elle meure et même au-delà de la mort.
