Capital
Hoy -5% en Libros

Marx, Karl

Capital by Karl Marx. With an Introduction by Mark G. Spencer, Brock University, Ontario, Canada. This edition includes both Volumes One and Two. Few writers have had a more demonstrable impact on the development of the modern world than has Karl Marx (1818-1883). Born in Trier into a middle-class Jewish family in 1818, by the time of his death in London in 1883, Marx claimed a growing international reputation. Of central importance then and later was his book Das Kapital, or, as it is known to English readers, simply Capital. Volume One of Capital was published in Paris in 1867. This was the only volume published during Marx s lifetime and the only to have come directly from his pen. Volume Two, published in 1884, was based on notes Marx left, but written by his friend and collaborator, Friedrich Engels (1820-1895). Readers from the nineteenth century to the present have been captivated by the unmistakable power and urgency of this classic of world literature. Marx s critique of the capitalist system is rife with big themes: his theory of surplus value , his discussion of the exploitation of the working class, and his forecast of class conflict on a grand scale. Marx wrote with purpose. As he famously put it, Philosophers have previously tried to explain the world, our task is to change it.

Luciano Fabro Reinventing Sculpture
Hoy -5% en Libros

Rowell, Margit

La monografía definitiva sobre la obra del escultor, artista de instalaciones y pionero del Arte Povera Luciano FabroLuciano Fabro fue miembro fundador y luego crítico principal de Arte Povera, el movimiento artístico basado en materiales y experiencias que comenzó en Italia a fines de la década de 1960. Continuó siendo exhibido internacionalmente, convirtiéndose en el primer artista del grupo en recibir una importante retrospectiva en los EE. UU., en el Museo de Arte Moderno de San Francisco en 1992. Fabro fue un artista controvertido, pero aún así un favorito de la crítica: en 2018 el arte líder la publicación The Brooklyn Rail dedicó un número entero a Fabro, y la crítica del New York Times, Roberta Smith, escribió que Fabro trató ''la creación artística menos como una profesión y más como un experimento continuo destinado a mantenerse entretenido y al espectador un poco fuera de balance''. Esta monografía completa y muy ilustrada es la primera descripción completa de la vida y carrera de Fabro, escrita por la estimada crítica y curadora Margit Rowell, quien interactuó repetidamente con Fabro en sus últimos años, y se publica con el apoyo y la participación total del patrimonio del artista y galerías internacionales, Paula Cooper (Nueva York), Christian Stein (Milán) y Simon Lee (Londres y Hong Kong).

New Surrealism
Hoy -5% en Libros

Zeller, Robert

New Surrealism: The Uncanny in Contemporary Painting de Robert Zeller ofrece una amplia exposición tanto del Surrealismo histórico como de su legado en el mundo del arte.Demuestra las muchas maneras en que el movimiento artístico más significativo del siglo pasado sigue siendo relevante hoy en día, presentando una selección internacional de artistas contemporáneos cuyas composiciones y práctica de estudio revelan su influencia.Son muchas las modalidades del Surrealismo histórico que aún mantienen su vigencia contemporánea: la presentación de lo familiar como desconocido e inquietante, la yuxtaposición de imágenes aparentemente inconexas, el uso del absurdo para criticar cuestiones políticas o sociales, y la utilización de imágenes eróticas en un contexto irracional y no lineal. No todos los artistas reunidos en este libro se identifican a sí mismos como surrealistas, pero cada uno utiliza alguna variante del surrealismo de manera personal.El libro comienza con un estudio de los orígenes, el liderazgo, los artistas participantes y los principales hitos del surrealismo histórico. Zeller hace una crónica del movimiento a partir del final de la Primera Guerra Mundial y el nacimiento de Dadá. Los protagonistas y acontecimientos más importantes aparecen a lo largo de la cronología de los hechos -incluida la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y artistas tan notables como Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, Leonora Carrington y muchos otros- hasta la muerte de su líder André Breton en 1966.A continuación, Zeller analiza cómo se ponen en práctica los elementos del Nuevo Surrealismo en el mundo del arte contemporáneo. La segunda sección ofrece un estudio de 29 artistas contemporáneos que participan en las variaciones aparentemente ilimitadas de los temas originales del Nuevo Surrealismo, como Rosa Loy, Glenn Brown y Arghavan Khosravi. La tercera sección presenta a 14 artistas, entre ellos importantes artistas contemporáneos como Inka Essenhigh, Ginny Casey y Anna Weyant, que hablan de la influencia del Surrealismo en su práctica de estudio, detallando con sus propias palabras cómo crean una composición de principio a fin.

Romantic comedy
Hoy -5% en Libros

Sittenfeld, Curtis

A comedy writer thinks she’s sworn off love, until a dreamily handsome pop star flips the script on all her assumptions. Romantic Comedy is a hilarious, observant and deeply tender novel from New York Times–bestselling author Curtis Sittenfeld.Sally Milz is a sketch writer for ''The Night Owls,'' the late-night live comedy show that airs each Saturday. With a couple of heartbreaks under her belt, she’s long abandoned the search for love, settling instead for the occasional hook-up, career success, and a close relationship with her stepfather to round out a satisfying life.But when Sally’s friend and fellow writer Danny Horst begins dating Annabel, a glamorous actor who guest-hosted the show, he joins the not-so-exclusive group of talented but average-looking and even dorky men at the show—and in society at large—who’ve gotten romantically involved with incredibly beautiful and accomplished women. Sally channels her annoyance into a sketch called the ''Danny Horst Rule,'' poking fun at this phenomenon while underscoring how unlikely it is that the reverse would ever happen for a woman.Enter Noah Brewster, a pop music sensation with a reputation for dating models, who signed on as both host and musical guest for this week’s show. Dazzled by his charms, Sally hits it off with Noah instantly, and as they collaborate on one sketch after another, she begins to wonder whether there might actually be sparks flying. But this isn’t a romantic comedy, it’s real life. And in real life, someone like him would never date someone like her...right?With her keen observations and trademark ability to bring complex women to life on the page, Sittenfeld explores the neurosis-inducing and heart-fluttering wonder of love, while slyly dissecting the social rituals of romance and gender relations in the modern age.

“Even though A Woman of Pleasure exposes the brutal life of sex workers, a dynamic optimism runs throughout the book. Only Kiyoko Murata can convey this world.” —Yoko Ogawa, author of The Memory Police ( Yomiuri Shimbun )In 1903, a fifteen-year-old girl named Ichi Aoi is sold to the most exclusive brothel in Kumamoto, Japan. Despite her modest beginnings in a southern fishing village, she becomes the protégée of an oiran, the highest-ranking courtesan at the brothel. Through the teachings of her oiran, Shinonome, Ichi begins to understand the intertwined power of sex and money. And in her mandatory school lessons, her writing instructor, Tetsuko, encourages Ichi and the others to think clearly and express themselves. Based on real-life events in Meiji-era Japan, award-winning and critically acclaimed veteran writer Kiyoko Murata re-creates in stunning detail the brutal yet vibrant lives of women in the red-light district at the turn of the twentieth century—the bond they share, the survival skills they pass down, and the power of owning one's language. By banding together, the women organize a strike and walk away from the brothel and into the possibility of new lives.
