Dentro de la prolífica obra del hispanista Ralph Hayward Keniston (1883-1970), perteneciente a la generación que en el siglo XX amplía el entendimiento de qué implica enseñar una lengua y abre la docencia del español a la cultura, destaca The Syntax of Castilian Prose (1937), obra originalísima, sin bibliografía, con un poderoso índice (quizá lo más consultado de ella) que alienta la caza de los tesoros lingüísticos del Quinientos, etapa favorita de nuestra cultura y lengua para el celebrado filólogo. Keniston, que principia escribiendo sobre literatura áurea, de Garcilaso a Cervantes, y se inserta después en los estudios de lingüística probabilística, representa la bisagra intelectual del hispanismo estadounidense que desde una concepción decimonónica romantizada de España y de su lengua se abría a una perspectiva más realista y pretendidamente científica, consolidada durante el XX. Asumida esta herencia y también la ruptura de la apuesta por una nueva didáctica, aquí despliega una taxonomía de posibilidades del español del XVI con indicación de su grado mayor o menor de probabilidad a partir de su frecuencia: así, se dan pistas para seguir trabajando en el estudio de estructuras posibles o se informa de datos que pueden ser suficientes para una rápida argumentación sobre cuestiones de español histórico. Inspirada por los trabajos sobre estadística de uso de palabras y listados bibliográficos de utilidad educativa, The Syntax of Castilian Prose significó, como señala Lola Pons en el brillante prólogo a esta edición, un nuevo modelo de libro, cartesiano, ordenado, con la lengua desmenuzada y despiezada taxonómicamente. Aún hoy, el de Keniston sigue siendo un inmejorable y utilísimo manual del que extraer ejemplos, fuente de consulta constante, lectura no lineal pero sí de referencia para la cita de ejemplos de usos morfosintácticos del Quinientos.

This Land presenta una sátira a fuego lento del sueño americano mientras se topa con la realidad del cambio climático.This Land es un mural épico creado por el artista neoyorquino David Opdyke a partir de postales estadounidenses antiguas que luego trató con desconcertantes intervenciones pintadas. Lo que al principio parece una vista panorámica a vista de pájaro de un idílico valle alpino se revela, tras un examen más detenido, como una serie de escenas y viñetas conectadas. A través de más de quinientas postales, cada una de las cuales representa una porción distinta de la cultura estadounidense idealizada (plazas de ciudades, carreteras de montaña, calles principales y sedes de condado), las alteraciones mordaces y emocionalmente discordantes de Opdyke se vuelven gradualmente evidentes.En esta remodelación profética, los bosques están en llamas, los tornados pasan de una tarjeta a la siguiente, un barco de vapor es tragado entero por una especie de nueva megafauna, las ranas caen como granizo bíblico del cielo. Las respuestas humanas forman una cacofonía de deseos y demandas, pánico y negación.Las imágenes se ven animadas a su vez por la vívida y astuta mezcla de perfil artístico e interpretación crítica de Lawrence Weschler.

Clear Thinking gives you the tools to recognize the moments that have the potential to transform your trajectory, and reshape how you navigate the critical space between stimulus and response. As Parrish shows, we may imagine we are the protagonists in the story of our lives. But the sad truth is, most of us run on autopilot. Our behavioral defaults, groomed by biology, evolution, and culture, are primed to run the show for us if we don’t intervene. At our worst, we react to events without reasoning, not even realizing that we’ve missed an opportunity to think at all. At our best, we recognize these moments for what they are, and apply the full capacity of our reasoning and rationality to them.

In this extraordinary essay, Virginia Woolf examines the limitations of womanhood in the early twentieth century. With the startling prose and poetic licence of a novelist, she makes a bid for freedom, emphasizing that the lack of an independent income, and the titular room of ones own, prevents most women from reaching their full literary potential. As relevant in its insight and indignation today as it was when first delivered in those hallowed lecture theatres, A Room of Ones Own remains both a beautiful work of literature and an incisive analysis of women and their place in the world. This Macmillan Collectors Library edition of A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf features an afterword by the British art historian Frances Spalding. Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collectors Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collectors Library are books to love and treasure.

Las inolvidables fotografías de Helmut Newton, sofisticadas y provocativas a la vez, constituyen un legado artístico rico que no ha perdido un ápice de relevancia. Este libro presenta una muestra compacta pero amplia de su trabajo, e incluye una reveladora introducción y una pormenorizada cronología biográfica.Las imágenes de Newton se mueven en la ambigüedad, e incluyen alusiones y observaciones sociales que atraen y desafían a la vez a sus espectadores. Esta selección consigue reflejar el punto de vista único de Newton y las complejas corrientes subyacentes que distinguen su trabajo editorial en los campos de la moda y del retrato.Podrá apreciar la evolución de Newton hasta convertirse en un personaje inconformista, astuto y malicioso, voyeur y satírico a la vez, cuyo objetivo capturó aspectos polémicos pero fundamentales de la alta costura y la alta sociedad en las últimas décadas del siglo XX. Trabajaba como ''pistolero a sueldo'' pero a la vez imponía sus propias perspectivas y obsesiones, y definía su idea de una mujer poderosa y segura de sí misma. Esta figura se convirtió en su tema más insistente, desarrollado en escenarios cargados de erotismo, habitualmente en el seductor ambiente de lujosos apartamentos o grandes hoteles, sobre todo en París, Montecarlo y Los Ángeles.Desde mediados de la década de 1960, las dinámicas imágenes de Newton consolidaron su reputación en el mundo de la moda por medio de trabajos publicados en revistas de primer orden, como Vogue Paris, Elle, Marie Claire, Nova, Queen y la edición británica de Vogue. A partir de mediados de los años setenta su fama se extendió gracias a sus primeros libros y exposiciones. Sus imágenes inmortalizan a grandes figuras de la alta sociedad, el cine y la moda, como la princesa Carolina de Mónaco, Charlotte Rampling, Paloma Picasso y Karl Lagerfeld.Las fotografías glamurosas, innovadoras y transgresoras de Helmut Newton tienen un sello propio y una autoridad indiscutible que las hace mantener su dominio en nuestra imaginación.

John Milton's Paradise Lost is one of the greatest epic poems in the English language. It tells the story of the Fall of Man, a tale of immense drama and excitement, of rebellion and treachery, of innocence pitted against corruption, in which God and Satan fight a bitter battle for control of mankind's destiny. The struggle rages across three worlds - heaven, hell, and earth - as Satan and his band of rebel angels plot their revenge against God. At the center of the conflict are Adam and Eve, who are motivated by all too human temptations but whose ultimate downfall is unyielding love.Marked by Milton's characteristic erudition, Paradise Lost is a work epic both in scale and, notoriously, in ambition. For nearly 350 years, it has held generation upon generation of audiences in rapt attention, and its profound influence can be seen in almost every corner of Western culture.
