From the New York Times best-selling author of Red, White & Royal Blue comes a new romantic comedy that will stop listeners in their tracks...For cynical 23-year-old August, moving to New York City is supposed to prove her right: that things like magic and cinematic love stories don’t exist, and the only smart way to go through life is alone. She can’t imagine how waiting tables at a 24-hour pancake diner and moving in with too many weird roommates could possibly change that. And there’s certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failures.But then, there’s this gorgeous girl on the train.Jane. Dazzling, charming, mysterious, impossible Jane. Jane with her rough edges and swoopy hair and soft smile, showing up in a leather jacket to save August’s day when she needed it most. August’s subway crush becomes the best part of her day, but pretty soon, she discovers there’s one big problem: Jane doesn’t just look like an old school punk rocker. She’s literally displaced in time from the 1970s, and August is going to have to use everything she tried to leave in her own past to help her. Maybe it’s time to start believing in some things, after all.Casey McQuiston’s One Last Stop is a magical, sexy, big-hearted romance where the impossible becomes possible as August does everything in her power to save the girl lost in time.

A SENSATIONAL DEBUT FROM HUTCHINSON HEINEMANN IN 2024'What if we decided to try and find him?''What on earth are you on about?' she said. 'How are we going to catch the Yorkshire Ripper, when the police haven't even managed to?' I sighed.Her questioning my ideas was a recent and unwelcome element to our friendship. But it was a valid point. How would we catch him? We needed some sort of plan, a way of gathering clues and putting them into order.I thought about what the policeman had said about structure, and then about Aunty Jean and her notebook, and the idea I had hardened like toffee. I knew exactly what we needed to do.'We'll make a list,' I said. 'A list of the people and things we see that are suspicious.And then . . . And then we'll investigate them.'The List of Suspicious Things is a tender and moving coming of age story about family, friendship and community.

Al fusionar el expresionismo europeo con la cultura popular estadounidense, André Butzer comenzó a dar forma a su obra, que transita por los extremos artísticos y políticos del siglo XX. Con influencias de lo más variado, desde Friedrich Hölderlin y Edvard Munch hasta Walt Disney y Henry Ford, desarrolló un universo ficticio centrado en la colonia espacial NASAHEIM. Allí habita la Peace-Siemens, una simpática forma de cabeza que combina ideas utópicas con el pensamiento económico del incipiente consumismo de masas, mientras figuras como el Wanderer ofrecen proyecciones románticas y el Shame-Human, reflexiones sobre el pasado político. Este universo da profundidad temática a los lienzos, donde los personajes actúan como protagonistas de la pintura y envuelven la N-House, hogar de todos los colores, en un estilo que el artista ha denominado ''expresionismo de ciencia ficción''.Transcurridos algunos años del nuevo milenio, los colores cobraron vida propia y se convirtieron en pinturas abstractas de líneas que recorrían los lienzos con libertad. A partir de 2010, Butzer exploró los límites de la pintura, las dimensiones y potencialidades fundamentales de la expresión pictórica, en las superficies aparentemente negras de sus N-Paintings. En 2018, se mudó a California, donde empezó a pintar al aire libre durante todo el año. Las obras de esta etapa rebosan frescura y colorido, y constituyen una gran familia de líneas y figuraciones modeladas por su experiencia en el límite de la abstracción.Este es el primer libro que abarca toda la obra de Butzer desde 1999 hasta 2023, que se caracteriza por un impulso casi musical compuesto de desarrollo, regreso y nuevos comienzos. Las láminas se intercalan con citas contemporáneas del artista que arrojan luz sobre su actitud idiosincrásica como trasfondo de la obra, así como fotografías procedentes de sus archivos. El ensayo introductorio de Hans Werner Holzwarth analiza las diferentes fases de la obra y ubica las ideas del artista en un discurso más amplio sobre la abstracción y la figuración tras el fin de ambos géneros. Y, lo que es más importante, las impecables ilustraciones de gran formato revelan con total fidelidad la delicadeza como colorista de un artista que se cuenta entre los pintores de su generación con un mayor reconocimiento internacional.

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?

Perhaps the single most influential work of English drama, William Shakespeare's Hamlet is a timeless tragedy of the conflicted loyalties, madness, betrayal and terrible revenge. This Penguin Shakespeare edition is edited by T.J.B. Spencer with an introduction by Alan Sinfield. 'To be or not to be - that is the question' Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. When young prince Hamlet is confronted by his father's ghost on the battlements of Castle Elsinore, he is burdened with a terrible task: slay King Claudius, Hamlet's uncle, who the ghost alleges murdered him. Wrestling with his conscience, Hamlet feigns wild madness while plotting a brutal revenge, alienating his mother Queen Gertrude and spurning his lover Ophelia. But the act of insanity takes Hamlet perilously close to the reality, wreaking havoc on guilty and innocent alike. This book contains a general introduction to Shakespeare's life and Elizabethan theatre, a separate introduction to Hamlet, a chronology, suggestions for further reading, an essay by Paul Prescott discussing performance options on both stage and screen, and a commentary. William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was born to John Shakespeare and Mary Arden some time in late April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. He wrote about 38 plays (the precise number is uncertain), many of which are regarded as the most exceptional works of drama ever produced, including Romeo and Juliet (1595), Henry V (1599), Hamlet (1601), Othello (1604), King Lear (1606) and Macbeth (1606), as well as a collection of 154 sonnets, which number among the most profound and influential love-poetry in English. If you enjoyed Hamlet, you might like Shakespeare's Macbeth, also available in Penguin Shakespeare. 'It has everything - intrigue, romance, politics, violence, revenge, jealousy, wit. It plays itself out on such a grand scale' Kenneth Branagh.

From one of America's iconic writers, a portrait of a marriage and a life - in good times and bad - that will speak to anyone who has ever loved a husband or wife or child. A stunning book of electric honesty and passion.Several days before Christmas 2003, John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion saw their only daughter, Quintana, fall ill. At first they thought it was flu, then pneumonia, then complete sceptic shock. She was put into an induced coma and placed on life support. Days later - the night before New Year's Eve -the Dunnes were just sitting down to dinner after visiting the hospital when John suffered a massive and fatal coronary. In a second, this close, symbiotic partnership of 40 years was over. Four weeks later, their daughter pulled through. Two months after that, arriving at LA airport, she collapsed and underwent six hours of brain surgery at UCLA Medical Centre to relieve a massive hematoma.This powerful book is Didion's 'attempt to make sense of the weeks and then months that cut loose any fixed idea I ever had about death, about illness ... about marriage and children and memory ... about the shallowness of sanity, about life itself'. The result is an exploration of an intensely personal yet universal experience: a portrait of a marriage, and a life, in good times and bad.

La arquitectura japonesa contemporánea ha sido siempre una de las más imaginativas del mundo, y es famosa por sus diseños sostenibles y su creatividad. 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. Tadao Ando puso la arquitectura japonesa en el mapa cultural del mundo y tendió un puente entre Oriente y Occidente. Siguiendo su estela, figuras como Kengo Kuma o Shigeru Ban son pioneros de un enfoque más sostenible. Las generaciones jóvenes han desarrollado nuevas líneas en armonía con la naturaleza y la tradición en una búsqueda incesante de formas que se adapten al entorno. Este libro recoge las últimas tendencias de la arquitectura japonesa y muestra cómo su creatividad es fruto de la particular situación del país, con una alta densidad de población, una economía moderna, una larga historia y la presencia continua de terremotos. La aceptación de la ambigüedad, el cambio constante y la amenaza de las catástrofes demuestra por qué la arquitectura japonesa es única.Derivada del libro de tamaño XL, esta edición asequible destaca 39 arquitectos y 55 proyectos, como el Teatro Poly de Shanghái de Tadao Ando, la sala de conciertos La Seine Musical de Shigeru Ban, Grace Farms de SANAA, el 4 World Trade Center de Fumihiko Maki o la clínica dental sostenible de Takashi Suo. Un ensayo repasa la escena arquitectónica del país y muestra cómo la interacción de pasado, presente y futuro es la base de su arquitectura actual.
