Candide or the optimist
Hoy -5% en Libros

Arouet Voltaire, François-Mari

Young nobleman Candide lives a sheltered and comfortable life under the tutorship of the ridiculous Dr Pangloss who espouses the prevailing 18th-century philosophy of Optimism. Following an indiscretion, Candide is cast out into the world which according to Pangloss is ‘the best of all possible worlds’. But this is not so, Candide and his companions encounter nothing but ludicrous calamities in their madcap travels around the world – war crimes, earthquakes, inquisitions and chain gangs – all based with horrible closeness on real events of the 18th century.

Poets of Madrid
Hoy -5% en Libros

Aavv

Versión en inglés de POETAS DE MADRID, con Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Góngora, Quevedo, Valle-Inclán y Rubén DaríoThis is Madrid.Madrid. Homeric city, the cradle and grave of many of us that pour out the joyful days of youth among its streets and wineries, throughout its history it has accepted into its fold non-conforming poets from the four corners of the earth, because one is born a poet in his land, but one is made and perishes in Madrid.No matter where you are from, Madrid never leaves you indifferent, it always offers the rhapsodist who has moved to the capital in search of fortune, a lively space about which to write their verses. If our lives are the rivers as Manrique said, today the Manzanares river has been reborn and is full of life.Poets of Madrid is a generous title, as is Madrid. This anthology shows that the city drew them in from very distant places: Rubén Darío, for example, was born in Nicaragua, Valle-Inclán in Galicia, Góngora was Andalusian, Cervantes was born in Alcalá de Henares, thirty kilometres from Madrid, only Francisco de Quevedo and Lope de Vega were true Madrid natives.With this, we are trying to say that the presence of Rubén Darío in the anthology represents the percentage of the Hispanic American population who, proud of the city that embraces them, carries the same language in their voices, Góngora and Valle-Inclán, that of the surrounding areas, Cervantes, that of the city's close neighbours, and Lope and Quevedo, that of those born in Madrid. Because those us of from other parts of the globe were attracted to this city, which is no longer a Manchegan dump, for its courtesy and its lack of rejection, as a place known for its cosmopolitanism should be.

Carroll, Lewis

Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. 'I had sent my heroine straight down a rabbit-hole without the least idea what was to happen afterwards,' wrote Dodgson, describing how Alice was conjured up one 'golden afternoon' in 1862 to entertain his child-friend Alice Liddell. In the magical world of Wonderland and the back-to-front Looking-Glass kingdom, order is turned upside-down: a baby turns into a pig, time is abandoned at a tea-party, and a chaotic game of chess makes a 7-year-old a Queen.

The Carabinieri have made a startling discovery in the Amalfi villa of a murdered South African shipping tycoon―a secret vault containing an empty frame and stretcher matching the dimensions of the world’s most valuable missing painting. General Ferrari asks Gabriel to quietly track down the artwork before the trail goes cold.“Isn’t that your job?”“Finding stolen paintings? Technically speaking, yes. But you’re much better at it than we are.”The painting in question is The Concert by Johannes Vermeer, one of thirteen works of art stolen from Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1990. With the help of a most unlikely ally, a beautiful Danish computer hacker and professional thief, Gabriel soon discovers that the painting has changed hands as part of an illicit billion-dollar business deal involving a man code-named the Collector, an energy executive with close ties to the highest levels of Russian power.The missing masterpiece is the lynchpin of a conspiracy that if successful, could plunge the world into a conflict of apocalyptic proportions. To foil the plot, Gabriel must carry out a daring heist of his own, with millions of lives hanging in the balance.

Los años en que vivió Thomas Mann, de 1875 a 1955, significaron en suconjunto una época verdaderamente fatídica para la historia de Alemania.Y Mann los sufrió como muchos, pero de forma diferente, llevándolo todomás allá gracias a sus escritos. En ellos fue introduciendo detalles,recuerdos, anécdotas y sentimientos, llegando incluso a anotar día yhora. Y con ello se puede decir sin caer en falsedad que existe unaidentidad total entre obra y persona.Este Sobre mí mismo es, a modo de presentación o ensayo autobiográfico,un texto donde el autor se sincera sobre sí mismo más aún que encualquier otra obra suya una aventura personal, un cuaderno de viajes yepisodios familiares, y todo aquello que concierne a su trabajo, y susideas acerca de la religión, la música o el psicoanálisis, por ejemplo.Así, Mann se convierte en un representante cultural de su tiempo ydemuestra ser, una vez más, un profundo conocedor del ser humano.

Lejos de las multitudes y los tópicos habituales, Bath tiene inúmeros tesoros ocultos por descubrir para los que saben deambular fuera de los caminos trillados. Esta es una guía indispensable para quienes realmente deseen conocer Bath y, sobre todo, para los que creen que ya la conocen.

Light of Spain
Hoy -5% en Libros

Espinosa de los Monteros, Patr

These pages tell the story without words of a journey through Spain in which the author, the photographer Fernando Manso, visited unknown and hidden corners and captured them on the plates of his large-format camera. From the remotest parts of Galicia to those of Almería, he passed through coasts, deserts and mountains, stopping at old churches, ghostly castles or majestic cathedrals, in forests and gorges, at natural pools and salt mines, and at cemeteries, Arab baths and hermitages carved out of the rock. Fernando has made the light of these places into the leading figure of his journey. His is a different light, as he has relinquished blue skies and brilliant sunshine, often the stuff of clichés, to make way for visions of places that appear to us with such intimate truth that even if we know them, we can barely recognise them. This is thanks to his technique, his art and the patience with which he waits for the light. Fernando's luxury is being able to use all the time in the world to draw us into an artistic heritage that is sometimes secret and hard to reach, and which the viewer has to know how to see. He reveals these places, often in danger of disappearing, after detailed investigation. Both architecture and landscape - for he knows that natural scenery is also a major patrimony that has to be affectionately preserved and protected from speculation - belong to all of us, and we are responsible for their care. We must be aware of this. The result of that trip is this publication, with beautiful images in reproductions of exceptional quality that present us with a vision of Spain in a different light.

The enchanters

Ellroy, James

James Ellroy—Demon Dog of American Letters—goes straight to the tragic heart of postwar Hollywood with the story of Marilyn Monroe’s untimely death, in an astonishing, ripped-from-the-headlines crime story.Los Angeles, August 4, 1962. The city broils through a midsummer heat wave. Marilyn Monroe ODs. A B-movie starlet is kidnapped. The overhyped LAPD overreacts. Chief Bill Parker’s looking for some getback. The Monroe deal looks like a moneymaker. He calls in Freddy Otash.The freewheeling Freddy O: tainted ex-cop, defrocked private eye, dope fiend, and freelance extortionist. A man who lives by the maxim “Opportunity is love.” Freddy gets to work. He dimly perceives Marilyn Monroe’s death and the kidnapped starlet to be a poisonous riddle that only he has the guts and the brains to untangle. We are with him as he tears through all those who block his path to the truth. We are with him as he penetrates the faux-sunshine of Jack and Bobby Kennedy and the shuck of Camelot. We are with him as he falters, and grasps for love beyond opportunity. We are with him as he tracks Marilyn Monroe’s horrific last charade through a nightmare L.A. that he served to create — and as he confronts his complicity and his own raging madness.It’s the Summer of ’62, baby. Freddy O’s got a hot date with history. The savage Sixties are ready to pop. It’s just a shot away.The Enchanters is a transcendent work of American popular fiction. It is James Ellroy at his most crazed, brilliant, provocative, profanely hilarious, and stop-your-heart tender. It is a luminous psychological drama and an unparalleled thrill ride. It is, resoundingly, the great American crime novel.
