Hoy -5% en Libros

Aldecoa, Francisco

'This book brings together the main contributions contained in the books published by the Spanish Federal Council of the European Movement (CFEME) over the last four years on the subject of EU federal developments and the future of Europe. The aim of this book is to present the political thinking of the Spanish European Movement and its action plans for the 2019-2024 political cycle, focusing on the unique advances that have taken place in the European Union in a federal key. The authors are mainly part of the executive committee of the CFEME and some other are professors, politicians and prominent diplomats linked to the CFEME. A group of young people from the European Movement are also involved. The Spanish Federal Council of the European Movement is a plural, intergenerational association, made up of different types of professionals (although teachers predominate), interregional, and also international, as it includes colleagues from national sections of the International European Movement: Virgilio Dastoli, President of the Italian European Movement, and Yves Bertoncini, Former President of the French European Movement, among others. Finally, it should be noted that the articles featured include illustrious figures in European politics, who have held positions of high responsibility, such as Enrique Barón, President of the European Parliament (1989-1992) and President of the International European Movement (1987-1989), José María Gil-Robles, President of the European Parliament (1997- 1999) and President of the International European Movement (1999-2005), and Josep Borrell, High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (2019-present). We also include a chapter on Spain's role in the European Union since its entry into the EU in 1986, featuring prominent politicians, ministers, ambassadors and secretaries of state, among others, who enrich the vision of Spain within Europe, and not only the analysis of the latest events of the last legislature.

Walton Ford. 40th Ed.
Hoy -5% en Libros

Buford, Bill

A primera vista, las acuarelas de animales a gran escala tan sumamente detalladas recuerdan a los grabados de los ilustradores del siglo XIX John James Audubon y Edward Lear. Una segunda mirada más de cerca, sin embargo, revela un complejo universo perturbadoramente antropomórfico, lleno de símbolos, bromas pícaras y alusiones a la cualidad ''operística'' de la historia natural tradicional.En este universo visual asombroso y siniestro a un tiempo, las bestias y los pájaros no son meros objetos estéticos sino más bien actores dinámicos en batallas alegóricas: un pavo aplastando a un pequeño loro con sus garras, una colección de monos causando estragos en una mesa formalmente dispuesta, o un búfalo rodeado por una manada de lobos blancos ensangrentados. Las imágenes, deslumbrantes acuarelas, impresionan tanto por su impecable realismo como por su complejo contenido.Disponible originalmente en edición limitada y firmada, este volumen actualizado de Pancha Tantra es el estudio más exhaustivo de la obra de Ford hasta la fecha, que incluye más de 20 nuevas obras del artista. Ofrece detalles deslumbrantes, una exploración en profundidad de su universo visual, una biografía completa y extractos de los textos que le sirvieron de inspiración: desde cuentos populares indios y las cartas de Benjamin Franklin a la Autobiografía de Benvenutto Cellini y la Ornithological Biography de John James Audubon.

Queen of the sea: a history of Lisbon
Hoy -5% en Libros

Hatton, Barry

Lisbon's charm is legendary, but its vibrant 2,000-year history is not widely known, from its Roman legacy to its centuries under Moorish rule. Its journey from port town to Portugal's capital was not always smooth sailing--in 1755 the city was devastated by the largest earthquake ever to strike modern Europe, followed by a catastrophic tsunami and a six-day inferno that turned sand to glass.Barry Hatton unearths these forgotten memories in a vivid account of Lisbon's colourful past and present, bringing to life the 1147 siege during the Iberian reconquista, the assassination of the king, the founding of a republic and the darkness of a modern dictatorship. He reveals the rich, international heritage of Portugal's metropolis--the gateway to the Atlantic and the unrivalled Queen of the Sea.

Julian Schnabel
Hoy -5% en Libros

Holzwarth, Hans Werner

Julian Schnabel convierte la vida en arte y encuentra los asuntos de sus obras en el tejido de lo cotidiano. Utiliza platos rotos como soporte inesperado para sus cuadros y pinta sobre terciopelo, cubiertas de puestos de mercado, fondos de teatro kabuki, lonas militares y de cuadriláteros de boxeo: materiales encontrados que aportan su propia historia a la exploración del artista. Tras el éxito fulgurante de su primera exposición individual en Nueva York en 1979, que lo convirtió en el abanderado del regreso de la pintura, trabajó con todo tipo de medios: realizó esculturas que trasponen sus pinturas al espacio tridimensional como artefactos en bruto, aparentemente desgastados por el paso del tiempo, dirigió películas premiadas que retratan a artistas y otras figuras sutilmente heroicas, e incluso hizo realidad su sueño de construir un palacio veneciano en Nueva York. ''Quiero que mi vida esté en mi obra, comprimida en mi pintura como un coche prensado. De lo contrario, mi trabajo solo son cosas'', ha dicho Schnabel, y esta urgencia impregna su obra sin importar qué soportes o medios elija. Esta monografía de TASCHEN, realizada en estrecha colaboración con el artista, está ahora disponible en una edición popular que presenta la rica variedad de la obra de Schnabel con una profundidad sin precedentes.  Completan el volumen textos de amigos y colaboradores: Laurie Anderson elabora una semblanza íntima de Schnabel, en tres ensayos de comisarios e historiadores del arte, Éric de Chassey analiza la pintura, Bonnie Clearwater la escultura y Max Hollein sus obras in situ, Donatien Grau escribe sobre el Palazzo Chupi, la extravagante casa del artista en el West Village de Nueva York, y el novelista Daniel Kehlmann explora su obra cinematográfica. Esta edición le permitirá estudiar las superficies y las acciones y gestos artísticos de Schnabel, y le dará la oportunidad de sentir su arte de un modo que solo experimentarlo en persona puede superar.

Kay Nielsen. 1001 Nights
Hoy -5% en Libros

Aavv

In the late 1910s, in a Europe ravaged by World War I, Danish illustrator Kay Nielsen put the finishing touches on his illustrations of A Thousand and One Nights. The results are considered masterpieces of early 20th-century illustration: bursting with sumptuous colors of deep blues, reds, and gold leaf, and evoking all the magic of this legendary collection of Indo-Persian and Arabic folktales, compiled between the 8th and 13th centuries.However, publishers retreated from Nielsen's project in the financially strapped postwar climate, and the publication never happened. A rising star, Nielsen moved on to other work. This world heritage classic's spectacular pen, ink, and watercolor images remained under lock and key for 40 years. Published just once in the 1970s, the illustrations were rescued from oblivion after Nielsen's death in 1957 and are now held by the UCLA Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, the Art Institute of Chicago, and in two private collections.This publication is a unique compilation of fine art prints and stunning illustrations reproduced directly from Nielsen's original watercolors-the only complete set of his extraordinary drawings to have survived. The book features descriptions of all of the images and three generously illustrated essays on the making of this series, the origin of Nielsen's unique imagery, and a history of the tales. In addition, it shows many unpublished or rarely seen artworks by Nielsen and intricate black-and-white drawings Nielsen created for the original publication.

Evanovich, Janet

Stephanie Plum returns to hunt down a master cyber-criminal operating out of Trenton in the 28th book in the wildly popular series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich. When Stephanie Plum is woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of footsteps in her apartment, she wishes she didn’t keep her gun in the cookie jar in her kitchen. And when she finds out the intruder is fellow apprehension agent Diesel, six feet of hard muscle and bad attitude whom she hasn’t seen in more than two years, she still thinks the gun might come in handy. Turns out Diesel and Stephanie are on the trail of the same fugitive: Oswald Wednesday, an international computer hacker as brilliant as he is ruthless. Stephanie may not be the most technologically savvy sleuth, but she more than makes up for that with her dogged determination, her understanding of human nature, and her willingness to do just about anything to bring a fugitive to justice. Unsure if Diesel is her partner or her competition in this case, she’ll need to watch her back every step of the way as she sets the stage to draw Wednesday out from behind his computer and into the real world.

Meditations: Marcus Aurelius

Aurelio, Marco

A clear and eloquent leading translation of the Roman emperor’s reflections of human life and death, timeless Stoic philosophy that inspires countless others including The Daily Stoic author Ryan Holiday to use philosophy as a tool for self-improvement and resilience to live a better lifeWritten in Greek by an intellectual Roman emperor without any intention of publication, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius offer a wide range of fascinating spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the leader struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. Spanning from doubt and despair to conviction and exaltation, they cover such diverse topics as the question of virtue, human rationality, the nature of the gods and the values of leadership. But while the Meditations were composed to provide personal consolation, in developing his beliefs Marcus also created one of the greatest of all works of philosophy: a series of wise and practical aphorisms that have been consulted and admired by statesmen, thinkers and ordinary readers for almost two thousand years.To provide a full understanding of Aurelius's seminal work, this edition includes explanatory notes, a general index, an index of quotations, an index of names, and an introduction by Diskin Clay putting the work in its biographical, historical, and literary context, a chronology of Marcus Aurelius's life and career.Penguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Edición a cargo de David García Cueto, comisario de la exposición y conservador de Pintura Italiana y Francesa hasta 1800 del Museo del Prado. Inglés. Rústica. 24 x 30 cm. 448 páginas.Publicado con motivo de la exposición Guido Reni, celebrada en el Museo Nacional del Prado entre el 28 de marzo y el 9 de julio de 2023.Guido Reni (1575-1642) fue uno de los artistas más destacados en la Europa de su tiempo, llegando su fama al nivel de la que alcanzaron Rubens, Caravaggio o Bernini. Desde su Bolonia natal, su obra se difundió no solo por buena parte de Italia, sino que también alcanzó algunas de las principales capitales del continente, como París, Londres o Madrid. En efecto, España no permaneció ajena al interés por las creaciones del maestro boloñés, coleccionadas tanto por la corona como por algunos de los más destacados miembros de la aristocracia y que, en varios casos, acabaron en los fondos del Museo Nacional del Prado. Además, a la vista de sus obras, ciertos artistas hispanos decidieron enriquecer su propio lenguaje con la evocación de las propuestas de Reni, entre ellos varios pintores de especial relevancia, como Bartolomé Esteban Murillo.Este catálogo pone de manifiesto la actualidad del legado de Guido Reni. Cuenta con nueve ensayos, a cargo de otros tantos autores internacionales, y se centra en su obra y su técnica, así como en el contexto en el que destacó en la Bolonia y Roma de su época y en particular en su relación con España durante el siglo de Oro. Además, analiza y reproduce casi cien obras de Reni y otros artistas entre pinturas, dibujos y esculturas.

Pero enfatizando la mirada sobre ese monumental conjunto de imágenes y explorando las esquinas de los cuadros, los fondos y los detalles-en los personajes secundarios, en lo que no debería estar, en lo que aparece por casualidad, accidente o error-es posible descubrir una narrativa diferente: una más espesa, turbia, turbulenta, compleja, contemporánea y contradictoria. Como un estallido y un ápice: una premonición de la continuidad genealógica de las múltiples violencias sistémicas, tumultuosas, visibles e invisibles, atronadoras y silenciosas que dan forma al rostro de la sociedad estadounidense.El libro funciona simultáneamente como un reflejo de la angustiosa realidad de los Estados Unidos en nuestros días y como un instrumento de reflexión sobre la forma en que se interpreta y comprende la fotografía histórica y documental.

Gaetano Pesce

Adamson, Glenn

The definitive volume on Gaetano Pesce’s incomparable life and career, as told in the artist-designer’s own wordsIn a category all his own, Gaetano Pesce is widely considered one of the most important, and elusive, creative figures of the last half century. Bridging numerous key art and design movements, while never belonging to any of them, Pesce’s singular practice has remained steadfastly provocative, defying convention, utility, and good taste.Glenn Adamson, the acclaimed curator and writer, conducted the wide-ranging interview with Pesce on which this book is based, drawing out new stories and insights, as well as providing an introduction that thoroughly contextualizes Pesce’s unique position in contemporary art and design. As postmodern design has become increasingly desirable, interest in Pesce has grown with renewed exhibition activity and critical attention, and his work has become even more valuable and collectible.In this long overdue summary co-published with Salon 94, Pesce looks back at his incomparable and wildly inventive career, recounting his life and practice in his own words.

Black women taught us

Jackson, Jenn M.

A reclamation of essential history and a hopeful gesture toward a better political future, this is what listening to Black women looks like —from a professor of political science and columnist for Teen Vogue.This is my offering. My love letter to them, and to us.Jenn M. Jackson, PhD, has been known to bring historical acuity to some of the most controversial topics in America today. Now, in their first book, Jackson applies their critical analysis to the questions that have long energized their Why has Black women’s freedom fighting been so overlooked throughout history, and what has our society lost because of our refusal to engage with our forestrugglers’ lessons?A love letter to those who have been minimized and forgotten, this collection repositions Black women’s intellectual and political work at the center of today’s liberation movements.Across eleven original essays that explore the legacy of Black women writers and leaders—from Harriet Jacobs and Ida B. Wells to the Combahee River Collective and Audre Lorde—Jackson sets the record straight about Black women’s longtime movement organizing, theorizing, and coalition building in the name of racial, gender, and sexual justice in the United States and abroad. These essays show, in both critical and deeply personal terms, how Black women have been at the center of modern liberation movements despite the erasure and misrecognition of their efforts. Jackson illustrates how Black women have frequently done the work of liberation at great risk to their lives and livelihoods.For a new generation of movement organizers and co-strugglers, Black Women Taught Us serves as a reminder that Black women were the first ones to teach us how to fight racism, how to name that fight, and how to imagine a more just world for everyone.
