Brook, Orian

La cultura es parte esencial de la vida de la mayoría de las personas. Cultura es ver un programa de televisión o dejarse absorber por el mundo del videojuego. Es leer un libro o escribir un poema, ir a ver un concierto, hablar de cine con amigxs. La cultura es cantar en un coro, actuar sobre un escenario o hacer manualidades para regalárselas a la familia. Sin duda alguna, la cultura forma parte esencial de lo que significa ser humano.Pero este libro explica las razones por las que tenemos que ser cautxs con ella, demostrando que está estrechamente relacionada con la desigualdad.

Cats. Photographs 1942-2018

Michals, Susan

Una noche de invierno de 1949 en Nueva York, el joven estudiante de marketing y fotógrafo en ciernes Walter Chandoha se encontró un gatito abandonado en medio de la nieve, lo cubrió con su abrigo y se lo llevó a casa. Poco podía imaginar que acababa de conocer a la musa que guiaría su vida. Chandoha se puso a retratar a su nuevo amigo felino, al que llamó Loco, y le gustaron tanto los resultados que empezó a fotografiar a los mininos de un refugio de la ciudad. Estas imágenes fueron el punto de partida de una carrera extraordinaria que se prolongaría siete décadas. Mucho antes de Internet y #gatosdeinstagram, Chandoha cautivó al público con los protagonistas peludos de sus fotografías. De anuncios a tarjetas de felicitación, pasando por puzzles y envases de comida para gatos, en sus imágenes confluían un afecto genuino por los animales, una ética profesional intachable y gran maestría. La glamurosa técnica de iluminación de Chandoha, con la que el pelaje de los gatos quedaba perfectamente definido, sentó las bases del vocabulario visual del retrato de animales durante generaciones e inspiró a maestros como Andy Warhol, que siguió el ejemplo de los encantadores retratos de Chandoha para ilustrar su libro de gatos. The Cat Book salta hasta los archivos del artista que sentó las bases de un género fotográfico. A través de retratos en color de estudio y otros ambientes, imágenes callejeras en blanco y negro, escenas de certámenes antiguos de felinos y mucho más, este libro constituye un merecido homenaje no sólo a estos animales fascinantes, sino también a un artista, fallecido en enero de 2019 a la edad de 98 años, cuyo amor por ellos se percibe en cada una de sus fotografías.

Pessoa, Fernando

Sitting at his desk, Bernardo Soares imagined himself free forever of Rua dos Douradores, of his boss Vasques, of Moreira the book-keeper, of all the other employees, the errand boy, the post boy, even the cat. But if he left them all tomorrow and discarded the suit of clothes he wears, what else would he do? Because he would have to do something. And what suit would he wear? Because he would have to wear another suit.A self-deprecating reflection on the sheer distance between the loftiness of his feelings and the humdrum reality of his life, The Book of Disquiet is a classic of existentialist literature.
