Donde los caballeros se empolvaban las pelucas, una pista de tenis que se convirtió en una fábrica que, a su vez, pasó a ser un museo, el monumento más antiguo de Gran Bretaña, una reliquia industrial olvidada en el corazón de la ciudad, un jardín secreto en Widcombe, una carretera que cierra seis semanas al año para proteger a los sapos, una vista poco conocida del Bath real, el teatro que se convirtió en iglesia que, a su vez, pasó a ser una logia masónica, un interior art déco único en la ciudad. Lejos de las multitudes y los tópicos habituales, Bath tiene inúmeros tesoros ocultos por descubrir para los que saben deambular fuera de los caminos trillados. Esta es una guía indispensable para quienes realmente deseen conocer Bath y, sobre todo, para los que creen que ya la conocen.

Ernst Haeckel - 40th Anniversary Edition
Hoy -5% en Libros

Willmann, Rainer

Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) fue un biólogo, naturalista, evolucionista, artista, filósofo y doctor alemán, que dedicó su vida a la investigación de la flora y la fauna tanto de las cimas de las montañas más altas como de los océanos más profundos. Como ferviente partidario y estudioso de las teorías de la evolución de Darwin, denunció el dogma religioso, escribió tratados filosóficos, obtuvo un doctorado en zoología y acuñó términos científicos, ahora de uso común, como ecología, filo y célula madre.El inmenso legado de Haeckel ha fascinado, desconcertado y polarizado a varias generaciones. Pero ¿cuál era la esencia de la extraordinaria labor de su vida? Al igual que su predecesor intelectual, Alexander von Humboldt, Haeckel no sólo buscaba descubrimientos nuevos sino también explicaciones. Para lograr su objetivo, realizó cientos de dibujos, acuarelas y bosquejos detallados de sus hallazgos que publicó durante el siglo XX en una serie de volúmenes entre los que destacan diversas recopilaciones de organismos marinos y la majestuosa obra Kunstformen der Natur (Formas artísticas en la naturaleza), que bien podría ser el cimiento del proyecto de toda su vida.Como una meticulosa enciclopedia visual de seres vivos, la obra de Haeckel destaca tanto por su precisión gráfica y su detallado sombreado como por su comprensión de la evolución orgánica. De murciélagos a cubozoos, de lagartijas a líquenes, pasando por patas de araña o anémonas marinas, hizo especial hincapié en las simetrías básicas y el orden natural descubriendo belleza biológica incluso en las criaturas más insospechadas. Las láminas, además de suponer un avance en el estudio de la historia natural, ejercieron una influencia en varias generaciones de artistas y arquitectos del siglo XX, desde defensores del modernismo a arquitectos como Hendrik Petrus Berlage.Este libro rinde homenaje a la importancia científica, artística y medioambiental de la obra de Haeckel con una colección de láminas extraídas de varios de sus tomos más importantes sobre biología marina, incluidos Die Radiolarien, Monographie der Medusen, Die Kalkschwämme y Kunstformen der Natur. En un momento en el que la biodiversidad está cada vez más amenazada por las actividades humanas, este volumen es, al mismo tiempo, una obra maestra visual, una exploración submarina y un vívido recordatorio de la hermosa diversidad de la vida.Sobre la serie¡TASCHEN ya tiene 40 años!

Light of Spain
Hoy -5% en Libros

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.

Sword catcher

Clare, Cassandra

Two outcasts find themselves caught in a web of forbidden love, dangerous magic, and dark secrets that could change the world forever in the start of a riveting epic fantasy series from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Shadowhunter Chronicles. “It began with a crime. The theft of a boy.” In the vibrant city-state of Castellane, the richest of nobles and the most debauched of criminals have one thing in common: the constant search for wealth, power, and the next hedonistic thrill. Kel is an orphan, stolen from the life he knew to become the Sword-Catcher—the body-double of a royal heir, Prince Conor Aurelian. He has been raised alongside the prince, trained in every aspect of combat and statecraft. He and Conor are close as brothers, but Kel knows he has one destiny: to die for Conor. No other future is possible. Lin Caster is one of the Ashkar, a small community who still possess magical abilities. By law, they must live behind walls in the city, but Lin, a physician, ventures out to tend to the sick and dying of Castellane. Despite her skills, she cannot heal her best friend Mariam without access to forbidden knowledge. After a failed assassination attempt brings Lin and Kel together, they are drawn into the web of the mysterious Ragpicker King, the criminal ruler of Castellane’s underworld. He offers them each what they want most, but as they descend into his world of intrigue and shadow, they discover a conspiracy of corruption that reaches from the darkest gutters of Castellane to the highest tower of its palaces. As long-kept secrets begin to unravel, they must ask themselves: Is knowledge worth the price of betrayal? Can forbidden love bring down a kingdom? And will Lin and Kel’s discoveries plunge their nation into war—and the world into chaos?

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.

Anna Atkins. Cyanotypes
Hoy -5% en Libros

Aavv

En los albores de la era victoriana, en su laboratorio al aire libre en Halstead, Kent, Anna Atkins se embarcó en un experimento radical para documentar especies botánicas utilizando un medio artístico completamente nuevo. Los inimitables cianotipos de algas y helechos que creó se convirtieron en los primeros libros que presentaban imágenes fotográficas. Impactantes aunque etéreos, estos álbumes son una síntesis perfecta de arte y ciencia.Aunque la técnica de la cianotipia fue descubierta por su amigo John Herschel, Atkins fue la primera en darse cuenta tanto de su utilidad práctica para sus propios intereses en botánica y taxonomía como de su intrigante potencial artístico. El proceso, que implicaba fijar el objeto sobre papel sensible y exponerlo directamente a la luz solar, da como resultado el pigmento azul de Prusia que constituye el inconfundible telón de fondo de estas obras de arte.Los álbumes de Atkins British Algae (1843-1853) y Cyanotypes of British and Foreign Ferns (1853), el último de los cuales fue producido con su amiga Anne Dixon, son obras de notable rareza. Reimpresos aquí en su totalidad por primera vez, revelan su dominio de múltiples disciplinas: Si bien el proceso de cianotipia permitió a Atkins enfrentarse al desafío de una representación precisa, los contornos delicados de los especímenes, colocados sobre el fondo azul intenso, le han dado a las imágenes un atractivo estético atemporal.Esta edición, basada en gran medida en las copias de la Biblioteca Pública de Nueva York y del J. Paul Getty Museum, ha compilado cuidadosamente cianotipos de varias fuentes para reimprimir las innovadoras obras de Atkins en su totalidad. Más de 550 impresiones de cianotipos acompañadas de una serie de ensayos introductorios de Peter Walther que sitúan el trabajo de Atkins en sus contextos científico e histórico-artístico y rinden un merecido homenaje a las contribuciones de una pionera.

The enchanters
Hoy -5% en Libros

Ellroy, James

James Ellroy—Demon Dog of American Letters—goes straight to the tragic heart of postwar Hollywood with the story of Marilyn Monroe’s untimely death, in an astonishing, ripped-from-the-headlines crime story.Los Angeles, August 4, 1962. The city broils through a midsummer heat wave. Marilyn Monroe ODs. A B-movie starlet is kidnapped. The overhyped LAPD overreacts. Chief Bill Parker’s looking for some getback. The Monroe deal looks like a moneymaker. He calls in Freddy Otash.The freewheeling Freddy O: tainted ex-cop, defrocked private eye, dope fiend, and freelance extortionist. A man who lives by the maxim “Opportunity is love.” Freddy gets to work. He dimly perceives Marilyn Monroe’s death and the kidnapped starlet to be a poisonous riddle that only he has the guts and the brains to untangle. We are with him as he tears through all those who block his path to the truth. We are with him as he penetrates the faux-sunshine of Jack and Bobby Kennedy and the shuck of Camelot. We are with him as he falters, and grasps for love beyond opportunity. We are with him as he tracks Marilyn Monroe’s horrific last charade through a nightmare L.A. that he served to create — and as he confronts his complicity and his own raging madness.It’s the Summer of ’62, baby. Freddy O’s got a hot date with history. The savage Sixties are ready to pop. It’s just a shot away.The Enchanters is a transcendent work of American popular fiction. It is James Ellroy at his most crazed, brilliant, provocative, profanely hilarious, and stop-your-heart tender. It is a luminous psychological drama and an unparalleled thrill ride. It is, resoundingly, the great American crime novel.

Aavv

Antes de convertirse en el cineasta aclamado por la crítica autor de películas míticas como ¿Teléfono rojo? Volamos hacia Moscú y El resplandor, Stanley Kubrick pasó cinco años trabajando como fotógrafo de la revista Look. Nacido en el Bronx, Kubrick se unió al equipo de la publicación en 1945, cuando sólo tenía 17 años, y se dedicó a tomar fotografías que muestran y celebran la vida cotidiana de Nueva York y sus habitantes.Through a Different Lens revela la mirada aguda y evocadora de un genio creativo en ciernes por medio de sus imágenes y ensayos fotográficos que muestran desde gente corriente que acude a la lavandería hasta un día en la vida de una corista, una visita al circo o la Universidad de Columbia. Este libro incluye 300 imágenes, muchas de ellas inéditas, así como reproducciones exclusivas de las páginas de Look, y una introducción del prestigioso crítico de fotografía Lucy Sante.Estas fotografías atestiguan el talento innato de Kubrick para ofrecer una narración irresistiblemente convincente y anuncian el genio artístico de un creador que iba a rodar algunas de las mejores películas de todos los tiempos.
