Bollmann, Stefan

Relegadas tradicionalmente a un papel secundario y a menudo pasivo en la sociedad, las mujeres encontraron muy pronto en la lectura una manera de romper las estrecheces de su mundo. La puerta abierta al conocimiento, la imaginación, el acceso a otro mundo, un mundo de libertad e independencia, les ha permitido desarrollarse y adoptar, poco a poco, nuevos roles en la sociedad. A través de un recorrido por las numerosas obras de arte que reflejan la estrecha relación entre libros y mujeres, Stefan Bollmann rinde un sentido homenaje a las mujeres y confirma el excepcional poder que confiere la lectura.

Balzac et la petite tailleuse chinoise

Sijie, Dai

Nous nous approchâmes de la valise. Elle était ficelée par une grosse corde de paille tressée, nouée en croix. Nous la débarrassâmes de ses liens, et l'ouvrîmes silencieusement. A l'intérieur, des piles de livres s'illuminèrent sous notre torche électrique, les grands écrivains occidentaux nous accueillirent à bras ouverts: à leur tête, se tenait notre vieil ami Balzac, avec cinq ou six romans, suivi de Victor Hugo, Stendhal, Dumas, Flaubert, Baudelaire, Romain Rolland, Rousseau, Tolstoï, Gogol, Dostoïevski, et quelques Anglais: Dickens, Kipling, Emily Brontë... Quel éblouissement! Il referma la valise et, posant une main dessus, comme un chrétien prêtant serment, il me déclara: avec ces livres, je vais transformer la Petite Tailleuse. Elle ne sera plus jamais une simple montagnarde.

Tales of the unexpected

Aavv

In this collection of stories, Dahl tantalizes, amuses, and sometimes terrifies readers into a sense of what lurks beneath the ordinary. Included in this collection are such notorious gems of the bizarre as The Second Machine, Lamb to the Slaughter, Neck, and The Landlady.Other stories explore: A wine connoisseur with an infallible palate and a sinister taste in wagers. A decrepit old man with a masterpiece tattooed on his back. A voracious adventuress, a gentle cuckold, and a garden sculpture that becomes an instrument of sadistic vengeance. Social climbers who climb a bit too quickly. Philanderers whose deceptions are a trifle too ornate. Impeccable servants whose bland masks slip for one vertiginous instant.

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
Hoy -5% en libros

Manson, Mark

#1 New York Times Bestseller. Over 10 million copies sold. In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be ''positive'' all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. ''F**k positivity,'' Mark Manson says. ''Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it.'' In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—''not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault.'' Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.
