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. Susan Sontag's groundbreaking critique of photography asks forceful questions about the moral and aesthetic issues surrounding this art form. Photographs are everywhere. They have the power to shock, idealize or seduce, they create a sense of nostalgia and act as a memorial, and they can be used as evidence against us or to identify us. In six incisive essays, Sontag examines the ways in which we use these omnipresent images to manufacture a sense of reality and authority in our lives.

Though the circumstances surrounding Thalia's death and the conviction of the school's athletic trainer, Omar Evans, are hotly debated online, Bodie prefers—needs—to let sleeping dogs lie.But when the Granby School invites her back to teach a course, Bodie is inexorably drawn to the case and its increasingly apparent aws. In their rush to convict Omar, did the school and the police overlook other suspects? Is the real killer still out there? As she falls down the very rabbit hole she was so determined to avoid, Bodie begins to wonder if she wasn't as much of an outsider at Granby as she'd thought—if, perhaps, back in 1995, she knew something that might have held the key to solving the case.

One of English literature's classic masterpieces—a gripping novel of love, propriety, and tragedy. Nominated as one of America’s bestloved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read Emily Brontë's only novel endures as a work of tremendous and farreaching influence. The Penguin Classics edition is the definitive version of the text, edited with an introduction by Pauline Nestor. Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange, situated on the bleak Yorkshire moors, is forced to seek shelter one night at Wuthering Heights, the home of his landlord. There he discovers the history of the tempestuous events that took place years before. What unfolds is the tale of the intense love between the gypsy foundling Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. Catherine, forced to choose between passionate, tortured Heathcliff and gentle, wellbred Edgar Linton, surrendered to the expectations of her class. As Heathcliff's bitterness and vengeance at his betrayal is visited upon the next generation, their innocent heirs must struggle to escape the legacy of the past. In this edition, a new preface by Lucasta Miller, author of The Brontë Myth, looks at the ways in which the novel has been interpreted, from Charlotte Brontë onwards. This complements Pauline Nestor's introduction, which discusses changing critical receptions of the novel, as well as Emily Brontë's influences and background.

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.
