Jutja tu mateix.Mikhaïl Bulgàkov (K¡iv, 1891 - Moscou, 1940) es va llicenciar en Medicina lÆany 1916 i va exercir aquesta professió fins que va decidir abandonar-la per dedicar-se a lÆescriptura. A partir del 1921, any en què es va instal·lar a Moscou, va col·laborar en diversos diaris i va començar la seva carrera dÆescriptor. Va patir una censura sistemàtica per part de Stalin, per. va continuar traduint i escrivint teatre i literatura sotmès a una gran penúria i a unes dificultats extremes fins al final dels seus dies. Entre les seves obres, destaquen La guàrdia blanca, Cor de gos i El mestre i Margarida.«Bulgàkov és un conspirador contra el llenguatge.» Boris Groys«La seva genialitat és que la seva energia sat¡rica i les seves provocacions són tan multidireccionals que, molts anys i molts canvis de règim després, encara sembla recentment desafiant.» The Guardian«Sarcàstic i mordaç, genial.» Núvoloja luz sobre nuestro mundo».ù Yolanda D¡az«Un manifiesto tiene fuerza no porque es prescriptivo de lo que deber¡a suceder, sino porque reúne una serie de elementos que, puestos en conjunto, comprueban la existencia de ese mundo novedoso, pero ya existente.»ù Veronica Gago «Mientras que la mayor¡a de los trabajos teóricos del pasado son ahora letra muerta, las vibrantes frases de Marx y Engels seguirán sacudiendo e iluminando el próximo siglo.ù Hans Magnus Enzensberger«[El manifiesto es] un texto formidable que sabe alternar tonos apocal¡pticos e iron¡a, eslóganes eficaces y explicaciones claras, y (si la sociedad capitalista quiere realmente contarse a s¡ misma los disgustos que le han causado estas pocas páginas) todav¡a hoy deber¡a analizarse rigurosamente en las escuelas de publicidad». ù Umberto EcoPero solo una obra inmensa -que aún tiene mucho que decirnos 150 años después- podr¡a invitar a este tipo de escrutinio cr¡tico. Nada podr¡a dar un testimonio más convincente de la genialidad de El manifiesto que la energ¡a que se ha gastado en atacarlo.öù Ellen Meiksins Wood

Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) fue un biólogo, naturalista, evolucionista, artista, filósofo y doctor alemán, que dedicó su vida a la investigación de la flora y la fauna tanto de las cimas de las montañas más altas como de los océanos más profundos. Como ferviente partidario y estudioso de las teorías de la evolución de Darwin, denunció el dogma religioso, escribió tratados filosóficos, obtuvo un doctorado en zoología y acuñó términos científicos, ahora de uso común, como ecología, filo y célula madre.El inmenso legado de Haeckel ha fascinado, desconcertado y polarizado a varias generaciones. Pero ¿cuál era la esencia de la extraordinaria labor de su vida? Al igual que su predecesor intelectual, Alexander von Humboldt, Haeckel no sólo buscaba descubrimientos nuevos sino también explicaciones. Para lograr su objetivo, realizó cientos de dibujos, acuarelas y bosquejos detallados de sus hallazgos que publicó durante el siglo XX en una serie de volúmenes entre los que destacan diversas recopilaciones de organismos marinos y la majestuosa obra Kunstformen der Natur (Formas artísticas en la naturaleza), que bien podría ser el cimiento del proyecto de toda su vida.Como una meticulosa enciclopedia visual de seres vivos, la obra de Haeckel destaca tanto por su precisión gráfica y su detallado sombreado como por su comprensión de la evolución orgánica. De murciélagos a cubozoos, de lagartijas a líquenes, pasando por patas de araña o anémonas marinas, hizo especial hincapié en las simetrías básicas y el orden natural descubriendo belleza biológica incluso en las criaturas más insospechadas. Las láminas, además de suponer un avance en el estudio de la historia natural, ejercieron una influencia en varias generaciones de artistas y arquitectos del siglo XX, desde defensores del modernismo a arquitectos como Hendrik Petrus Berlage.Este libro rinde homenaje a la importancia científica, artística y medioambiental de la obra de Haeckel con una colección de láminas extraídas de varios de sus tomos más importantes sobre biología marina, incluidos Die Radiolarien, Monographie der Medusen, Die Kalkschwämme y Kunstformen der Natur. En un momento en el que la biodiversidad está cada vez más amenazada por las actividades humanas, este volumen es, al mismo tiempo, una obra maestra visual, una exploración submarina y un vívido recordatorio de la hermosa diversidad de la vida.Sobre la serie¡TASCHEN ya tiene 40 años!

En los albores de la era victoriana, en su laboratorio al aire libre en Halstead, Kent, Anna Atkins se embarcó en un experimento radical para documentar especies botánicas utilizando un medio artístico completamente nuevo. Los inimitables cianotipos de algas y helechos que creó se convirtieron en los primeros libros que presentaban imágenes fotográficas. Impactantes aunque etéreos, estos álbumes son una síntesis perfecta de arte y ciencia.Aunque la técnica de la cianotipia fue descubierta por su amigo John Herschel, Atkins fue la primera en darse cuenta tanto de su utilidad práctica para sus propios intereses en botánica y taxonomía como de su intrigante potencial artístico. El proceso, que implicaba fijar el objeto sobre papel sensible y exponerlo directamente a la luz solar, da como resultado el pigmento azul de Prusia que constituye el inconfundible telón de fondo de estas obras de arte.Los álbumes de Atkins British Algae (1843-1853) y Cyanotypes of British and Foreign Ferns (1853), el último de los cuales fue producido con su amiga Anne Dixon, son obras de notable rareza. Reimpresos aquí en su totalidad por primera vez, revelan su dominio de múltiples disciplinas: Si bien el proceso de cianotipia permitió a Atkins enfrentarse al desafío de una representación precisa, los contornos delicados de los especímenes, colocados sobre el fondo azul intenso, le han dado a las imágenes un atractivo estético atemporal.Esta edición, basada en gran medida en las copias de la Biblioteca Pública de Nueva York y del J. Paul Getty Museum, ha compilado cuidadosamente cianotipos de varias fuentes para reimprimir las innovadoras obras de Atkins en su totalidad. Más de 550 impresiones de cianotipos acompañadas de una serie de ensayos introductorios de Peter Walther que sitúan el trabajo de Atkins en sus contextos científico e histórico-artístico y rinden un merecido homenaje a las contribuciones de una pionera.
