David Sedaris returns with his most deeply personal and darkly hilarious book.If you've ever laughed your way through David Sedaris's cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you're getting with Calypso. You'd be wrong.When he buys a beach house on the Carolina coast, Sedaris envisions long, relaxing vacations spent playing board games and lounging in the sun with those he loves most. And life at the Sea Section, as he names the vacation home, is exactly as idyllic as he imagined, except for one tiny, vexing realization: it's impossible to take a vacation from yourself.With Calypso, Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation toward middle age and mortality. Make no mistake: these stories are very, very funny - it's a book that can make you laugh 'til you snort, the way only family can. Sedaris's powers of observation have never been sharper, and his ability to shock readers into laughter unparalleled. But much of the comedy here is born out of that vertiginous moment when your own body betrays you and you realize that the story of your life is made up of more past than future.This is beach reading for people who detest beaches, required reading for those who loathe small talk and love a good tumor joke. Calypso is simultaneously Sedaris's darkest and warmest book yet - and it just might be his very best.

Lucy Barton is recovering slowly from what should have been a simple operation. Her mother, to whom she hasn’t spoken for many years, comes to see her. Gentle gossip about people from Lucy’s childhood in Amgash, Illinois, seems to reconnect them, but just below the surface lie the tension and longing that have informed every aspect of Lucy’s life: her escape from her troubled family, her desire to become a writer, her marriage, her love for her two daughters. Knitting this powerful narrative together is the brilliant storytelling voice of Lucy herself: keenly observant, deeply human, and truly unforgettable.

La creación de la ruta del Kisokaido fue una orden del entonces sogún de Japón, Tokugawa Ieyasu, que a principios del siglo XVII decretó la construcción de estaciones de descanso en el penoso tramo que iba desde Edo (actual Tokio) hasta Kyoto. Se abrieron posadas, tiendas y restaurantes que proporcionaban alimento y alojamiento a los agotados viajeros. En 1835, el famoso xilógrafo Keisai Eisen recibió el encargo de realizar una serie de estampas que representaran la ruta del Kisokaido. Después de hacerse cargo de 24 de estas estampas, Eisen fue sustituido por Utagawa Hiroshige, que completó la serie de 70 imágenes en 1838.Tanto Eisen como Hiroshige eran reconocidos maestros del grabado. Las sesenta y nueve estaciones del Kisokaido pone de manifiesto los distintos estilos de ambos y su habilidad común. Desde el ajetreado punto de partida de Nihonbashi hasta el castillo de Iwamurata, Eisen opta por una paleta más apagada, pero sobresale en la figuración, sobre todo en la representación de mujeres glamurosas, y se recrea en las imágenes de toda la actividad que se realiza a lo largo del camino, desde el herrado de un caballo hasta campesinos aventando arroz. Hiroshige demuestra su dominio del grabado paisajista con escenas grandiosas y evocadoras, desde las tranquilas orillas del río Ota hasta el imponente paso de Wada o una ascensión a la luz de la luna entre Yawata y Mochizuki.Tomadas en conjunto, las estampas de Las sesenta y nueve estaciones del Kisokaido suponen no sólo un animado ejemplo del arte de la xilografía, con composiciones audaces y un uso experimental del color, sino también un encantador tapiz del Japón del siglo XIX, mucho antes de que apareciera el fantasma de la industrialización. Esta nueva edición de TASCHEN presenta la serie con la excelencia que merece. Las imágenes reproducidas provienen de la única primera edición de la serie completa que se conoce, lo que asegura la mejor calidad para esta legendaria obra.

El 1 de octubre de 1958 se puso en marcha la primera agencia espacial civil del mundo como respuesta de emergencia al lanzamiento del Sputnik por parte de la Unión Soviética un año antes. En una década, la National Aeronautics and Space Administration, universalmente conocida como NASA, pasó de estar integrada por unos modestos equipos de investigación que experimentaban con pequeños cohetes adaptados a convertirse en una de las empresas tecnológicas y de gestión más grandes de la historia, capaz de llevar personas a la Luna a bordo de cohetes gigantescos y de enviar robots exploradores a Venus, Marte y mundos mucho más lejanos.A pesar de ocasionales y trágicos reveses en la historia de la NASA, el programa Apolo sigue simbolizando la inventiva estadounidense, sus transbordadores espaciales lideraron la construcción de la Estación Espacial Internacional y su deslumbrante conjunto de satélites astronómicos, módulos de descenso y programas de geociencias han transformado nuestra comprensión del cosmos y del frágil lugar que ocupa en él nuestro mundo.A lo largo de los 60 años de historia de la NASA, las imágenes han desempañado un papel fundamental. ¿Quién no está familiarizado hoy con las fascinantes imágenes del universo que nos brinda el telescopio espacial Hubble o con las nítidas panorámicas de Marte enviadas por los vehículos de exploración espacial de la NASA? ¿Y quién podría olvidar las fotografías de los hombres caminando por la superficie lunar?Este volumen compacto está basado en nuestro libro XXL, documentado y editado en colaboración con la NASA, y reúne cientos de fotografías e imágenes renderizadas poco conocidas que han sido escaneadas y remasterizadas con la última tecnología. Los textos del periodista especializado en ciencia y tecnología Piers Bizony, del historiador jefe de la NASA Roger Launius y del famoso historiador del programa Apolo Andrew Chaikin, además de una extensa lista de verificaciones de la misión que documenta las principales tareas llevadas a cabo por humanos y robots, completan esta exhaustiva exploración sobre la NASA, que abarca desde sus primeros días hasta hoy, ocupada en el desarrollo de los sistemas espaciales para el futuro.The NASA Archives es más que una fascinante historia visual del programa espacial de Estados Unidos. Es también una profunda reflexión sobre por qué elegimos explorar el espacio y cómo vamos a enfrentarnos a esta aventura colosal en los años venideros.Sobre la serie¡TASCHEN ya tiene 40 años!

When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master Mr Jones and take over the farm themselves, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality. But gradually a cunning, ruthless élite among them, masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, starts to take control. Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as equal as they thought, and find themselves hopelessly ensnared as one form of tyranny is replaced with another.

One of the last surviving members of the futurist generation, Bruno Munari's Design as Art is an illustrated journey into the artistic possibilities of modern design translated by Patrick Creagh published as part of the 'Penguin on Design' series in Penguin Modern Classics.'The designer of today re-establishes the long-lost contact between art and the public, between living people and art as a living thing'Bruno Munari was among the most inspirational designers of all time, described by Picasso as 'the new Leonardo'. Munari insisted that design be beautiful, functional and accessible, and this enlightening and highly entertaining book sets out his ideas about visual, graphic and industrial design and the role it plays in the objects we use everyday. Lamps, road signs, typography, posters, children's books, advertising, cars and chairs - these are just some of the subjects to which he turns his illuminating gaze.How do we see the world around us? The Penguin on Design series includes the works of creative thinkers whose writings on art, design and the media have changed our vision forever.Bruno Munari (1907-1998), born in Milan, was the enfant terrible of Italian art and design for most of the twentieth century, contributing to many fields of both visual (paint, sculpture, film, industrial design, graphics) and non-visual arts (literature, poetry). He was twice awarded the Compasso d'Oro design prize for excellence in his field.If you enjoyed Design as Art, you might like John Berger's Ways of Seeing, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.
