Cuando David Hockney descubrió el iPhone como medio artístico, se abrieron posibilidades totalmente nuevas para su arte. Hizo sus primeros dibujos digitales la primavera de 2009, describiendo el paisaje matutino con líneas anchas y deslumbrantes colores directamente en una pantalla que ofrecía matices sutiles como expresiones de pura luz sin mezclas. Después, en 2010, Hockney empezó a trabajar con un iPad. Gracias a la pantalla más grande, amplió su repertorio artístico y permitió una interacción aún más compleja de luz, línea y color.Cada imagen de este libro capta un momento fugaz visto a través de una ventana de la casa de Hockney en Yorkshire: desde el vibrante amanecer y el cielo lila de la mañana hasta las apacibles impresiones nocturnas o la repentina llegada de la primavera. Detalles fascinantes revelan gotas en los cristales de las ventanas, luces distantes en la noche, reflejos en jarrones, o una abundante y variada vegetación en el alféizar. En 120 dibujos realizados entre 2009 y 2012, seleccionados y secuenciados por el propio artista, experimentamos el paso del tiempo a través de los ojos de David Hockney.Este libro de artista, que apareció por primera vez en una exclusiva edición firmada, vuelve ahora en tirada ilimitada y con un generoso formato XL que muestra las impresiones de Hockney en brillante resolución. Así que ahora es la ocasión perfecta para hacer caso al consejo del crítico del Times sobre este libro: ''Si quiere que David Hockney le regale un ramo de flores, esta es su oportunidad.''

Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, a new regime emerged in Hungary that bears striking resemblances to the long-gone one-party communist system. The return to power of Viktor Orbán, who became the champion of ultra-nationalist populism, degraded the Hungarian institutions to the point of turning a young democracy into a thinly disguised autocratic regime. In this personal chronicle, Luis G. Prado, who began visiting Budapest more than two decades ago and, falling in love with the Hungarian capital, moved to live there with his family, asks himself whether the time has come to leave Hungary. Is the political evolution towards authoritarianism in Hungary irreversible? Will the Orbán regime ever find its final form? How did it reach this point in a member state of the European Union, which is a club of democracies, no less?

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.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's timeless tale, reissued in a beautiful clothbound edition designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith.Antoine de Saint-Exupéry first published The Little Prince in 1943, only a year before his plane vanished over the Mediterranean during a reconnaissance mission. Nearly eighty years later, this fable of love and loneliness has lost none of its power.The narrator is a downed pilot in the Sahara Desert, frantically trying to repair his wrecked plane. His efforts are interrupted one day by the apparition of a little prince, who asks him to draw a sheep. ''In the face of an overpowering mystery, you don't dare disobey,'' the narrator recalls. ''Absurd as it seemed, a thousand miles from all inhabited regions and in danger of death, I took a scrap of paper and a pen out of my pocket.'' And so begins their dialogue, which stretches the narrator's imagination in all sorts of surprising, childlike directions.

Valldaura, a wealthy diplomat, and Teresa, a widowed fishmonger's daughter, marry and move into a grand, sprawling villa on the outskirts of Barcelona. In that house, their family flourishes and fractures across a century of change: from Teresa's second husband and her secret, illegitimate son Masdéu, to daughter Sofia and Sofia's playboy husband Eladi, and son, Ramon, tormented by a heinous act from his childhood and unknowingly in love with his half-sister, as well as several generations of servants, ghosts and even a rodent.Through a kaleidoscope of perspectives and turning upon events both intimate and historic, A Broken Mirror tells the story of a splintering matriarchal dynasty founded on love, lies, secrets, and betrayals.Translated by Josep Miquel Sobrer

Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.” So begins Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen’s witty comedy of manners—one of the most popular novels of all time—that features splendidly civilized sparring between the proud Mr. Darcy and the prejudiced Elizabeth Bennet as they play out their spirited courtship in a series of eighteenth-century drawing-room intrigues. Renowned literary critic and historian George Saintsbury in 1894 declared it the “most perfect, the most characteristic, the most eminently quintessential of its author’s works,” and Eudora Welty in the twentieth century described it as “irresistible and as nearly flawless as any fiction could be.”

Ocho arquitectos japoneses han ganado el premio Pritzker.Desde que la Exposición Universal de Osaka de 1970 cedió el protagonismo a las formas contemporáneas, Japón ha sido un actor clave de la arquitectura global.

The Iliad is the first and the greatest literary achievement of Greek civilization - an epic poem without rival in the literature of the world, and the cornerstone of Western culture. The story centres on the critical events in the last year of the Trojan War, which lead to Achilleus' killing of Hektor and determine the fate of Troy. But Homer's theme is not simply war or heroism. With compassion and humanity, he presents a universal and tragic view of the world, of human life lived under the shadow of suffering and death, set against a vast and largely unpitying divine background.Seven Greek cities claim the honour of being the birthplace of Homer (c. 8th-7th century BC), the poet to whom the composition of the Iliadand Odyssey are attributed. The Iliad is the oldest surviving work of Western literature, but the identity - or even the existence - of Homer himself is a complete mystery, with no reliable biographical information having survived.
