This provocative collection of short stories charts the growth of a generation from the liberating irreverence of the late 1970s to the dilemmas of responsibility and fidelity of the 1990s. The stories resonate with Hanif Kureishi's dead-on observations of human passion and folly, his brilliant depiction of seedy locales and magical characters, and his original, wicked sense of humour.

It is 1981. Glasgow is dying and good families must grift to survive. Agnes Bain has always expected more from life. She dreams of greater things: a house with its own front door and a life bought and paid for outright (like her perfect, but false, teeth). But Agnes is abandoned by her philandering husband, and soon she and her three children find themselves trapped in a decimated mining town. As she descends deeper into drink, the children try their best to save her, yet one by one they must abandon her to save themselves. It is her son Shuggie who holds out hope the longest. Shuggie is different. Fastidious and fussy, he shares his mother’s sense of snobbish propriety. The miners' children pick on him and adults condemn him as no’ right. But Shuggie believes that if he tries his hardest, he can be normal like the other boys and help his mother escape this hopeless place. Douglas Stuart's Shuggie Bain lays bare the ruthlessness of poverty, the limits of love, and the hollowness of pride. A counterpart to the privileged Thatcher-era London of Alan Hollinghurst’s The Line of Beauty, it also recalls the work of Édouard Louis, Frank McCourt, and Hanya Yanagihara, a blistering debut by a brilliant writer with a powerful and important story to tell.

Su colaboración en la saga de Spiderman no podía durar para siempre, pero los cinco años de la extraordinaria asociación de Stan Lee y Steve Ditko dieron de sí lo suficiente como para que su personaje evolucionara hasta convertirse en un ídolo atemporal con un ejército de seguidores que sobrevive al paso de las generaciones. El nuevo volumen de TASCHEN de las historias de Amazing Spider-Man recopila la segunda mitad de la obra maestra de sus creadores, con los nuevos archivillanos el Escorpión, el Hombre Ígneo y Crime-Master, el regreso de Kraven el Cazador y Duende Verde, y la saga ''Master Planner'' de tres partes que reavivó un enfrentamiento con un icónico villano y dejó a su paso lo que muchos críticos de cómics consideran la mejor historia de superhéroes de todos los tiempos.Más allá de la acción a la que Spiderman tuvo que enfrentarse (toda ella coreografiada con estilo y aplomo por el magistral Ditko), estaba el proceso de maduración de Peter Parker durante una década de agitación y cambios sociales. Con la mezcla de melodrama y sensibilidad social preparada por Stan Lee, Peter pasó de la escuela secundaria a la universidad y comenzó a lidiar con un sinfín de conflictos propios de la edad adulta que reflejaban las experiencias vitales de los lectores. Peter Parker ya no era un adolescente escuálido, y Lee y Ditko ampliaron su red de amigos y enemigos e hicieron debutar a Gwen Stacy, Harry Osborn y, en una serie de hilarantes cameos, a Mary Jane Watson, todos ellos personajes que se convirtieron en uno de los elencos más profundos y consistentes de todos los cómics. También se presenta al padre de Harry, Norman Osborn, el iracundo empresario que más tarde se reveló como el enemigo más temible de Spiderman. Mientras tanto, el accidentado romance entre Peter y Betty Brant llega a su fin con ambos personajes cambiados para siempre.Recopilados en un volumen de tamaño XXL con las mismas dimensiones que las páginas en blanco en las que se dibujaron los cómics originales, todos los números reproducen la colección de Bob Bretall, poseedor del récord Guinness de la colección de cómics más grande. La prestigiosa colección de Bretall se ha fotografiado con los excelentes métodos de reproducción de TASCHEN para imitar el aspecto original de estos cómics cuando se publicaron por primera vez en 1965 y 1966. Las imágenes se han remasterizado digitalmente con modernas técnicas de retoque para corregir los problemas propios de la impresión económica e imperfecta de la época. Para esta serie se ha desarrollado en exclusiva un tipo de papel que simula el tacto propio del papel de periódico y la reproducción de los colores de los cómics originales. The Marvel Comics Library se ha hecho acreedora de los elogios de los coleccionistas de cómics por combinar la experiencia de lectura de la vieja escuela con un lujoso formato de gran tamaño, y ha sido galardonada con el codiciado premio Eisner al mejor diseño.Como complemento a los cómics, se incluye un ensayo incisivo y a menudo muy divertido del presentador de radio y televisión británico Jonathan Ross. Acompaña al ensayo una galería de ilustraciones originales, fotografías y material documental.© 2023 MARVEL

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In this riveting novel from Danielle Steel, a gifted young woman must grapple with the legacy of a troubled childhood in order to pursue her dreams.Antonia Adams is the product of a loveless marriage between an aspiring actress and an aristocrat. As a child, she is abandoned in the abyss that yawns between them, blamed by her mother, ignored by her father, and neglected by both. Unprotected and unloved, she learns that the only way to feel safe is to hide from the dangers around her, drawing as little attention as possible to herself, to be “invisible.”In her isolation, books are her refuge and movies her escape. A day spent being carried away by an unforgettable film in a dark theater is her greatest thrill. Her love of the movies turns into a dream to become a screenwriter, and a summer job at a Hollywood studio. There, a famous British filmmaker notices her, and suddenly she can remain invisible no longer. He wants to put her in a movie and make her a star. It is a dazzling opportunity but a terrifying one, as it strips her of the camouflage that made her feel safe. She is suddenly thrust into the public eye—and even more so when they fall in love.She will never let go of her true dream of becoming a filmmaker, though, and if she wants to make that leap, she will have to expose herself in ways she never has before. When tragedy strikes, she must decide whether she will remain center stage or become invisible again, where she feels safest. Will she face her demons, or run and hide?In this extraordinary novel, Danielle Steel tells the story of a woman who must decide how high a price she is willing to pay to pursue her passion—and whether it is possible to stay true to herself while she does.
