L'artista sud-africà William Kentridge no es refia d'aquells que abracen cegament les pròpies certeses sense tenir en compte els dubtes i les paradoxes. L'ambigüitat i les contradiccions són al centre de la seva obra, que ha crescut i s'ha transformat al ritme de la polièdrica Sud-àfrica. El setembre del 2020, la periodista Gemma Parellada va entrevistar William Kentridge al seu estudi de Johannesburg amb motiu de l'exposició que l'artista preparava per al CCCB. Kentridge va parlar de segregació, de les repercussions del colonialisme i de la lluita antiracista, dels desequilibris i dels abusos de poder, del privilegi i del paper de l'art a l'hora de repensar els relats dominants.

Zaha Hadid fue una arquitecta revolucionaria. Durante muchos años no construyó casi nada pese a sus diseños premiados y al entusiasmo de la crítica. Algunos decían incluso que sus proyectos eran inedificables. Sin embargo, durante los últimos años de su vida sus atrevidas visiones se hicieron realidad, llevando a las ciudades un lenguaje arquitectónico y único, y estructuras como las oficinas portuarias de Amberes, la estación de trenes de alta velocidad de Nápoles-Afragola, en Nápoles, y la nueva y espectacular terminal del aeropuerto de Pekín.Hadid murió en 2016 de forma repentina. Era una de las figuras más consolidadas en el mundo de la arquitectura y se encontraba trabajando en proyectos en Europa, en China, el Oriente Medio y Estados Unidos. Fue la primera mujer que ganó el premio Pritzker de arquitectura y la prestigiosa RIBA Royal Gold Medal, junto con su socio Patrik Schumacher, que ahora dirige Zaha Hadid Architects.Este libro, basado en la enorme monografía de TASCHEN, se encuentra ahora disponible en una edición accesible que reúne las obras completas de Hadid. Este volumen contiene numerosas fotografías, textos en profundidad e ilustraciones de la propia artista, y expone la progresión de su carrera, desde sus construcciones más vanguardistas hasta los muebles y diseños de interiores que dieron forma a un universo único y plenamente integrado en el siglo XXI.

Au début des années 90, la narratrice est embauchée par Yumimoto, une puissante firme japonaise. Elle va découvrir à ses dépens l'implacable rigueur de l'autorité d'entreprise, en même temps que les codes de conduite, incompréhensibles au profane, qui gouvernent la vie, sociale au pays du Soleil levant. D'erreurs en maladresses et en échecs, commence alors pour elle, comme dans un mauvais rêve, la descente inexorable dans les degrés de la hiérarchie, jusqu'au rang de surveillante des toilettes, celui de l'humiliation dernière. Une course absurde vers l'abîme - image de la vie -, où l'humour percutant d'Amélie Nothomb fait mouche à chaque ligne. Entre le rire et l'angoisse, cette satire des nouveaux despotismes aux échos kafkaïens a conquis un immense public et valu à l'auteur d'Hygiène de l'assassin le Grand Prix du roman de l'Académie française en 1999.

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.

Una noche de invierno de 1949 en Nueva York, el joven estudiante de marketing y fotógrafo en ciernes Walter Chandoha se encontró un gatito abandonado en medio de la nieve, lo cubrió con su abrigo y se lo llevó a casa. Poco podía imaginar que acababa de conocer a la musa que guiaría su vida. Chandoha se puso a retratar a su nuevo amigo felino, al que llamó Loco, y le gustaron tanto los resultados que empezó a fotografiar a los mininos de un refugio de la ciudad. Estas imágenes fueron el punto de partida de una carrera extraordinaria que se prolongaría siete décadas. Mucho antes de Internet y #gatosdeinstagram, Chandoha cautivó al público con los protagonistas peludos de sus fotografías. De anuncios a tarjetas de felicitación, pasando por puzzles y envases de comida para gatos, en sus imágenes confluían un afecto genuino por los animales, una ética profesional intachable y gran maestría. La glamurosa técnica de iluminación de Chandoha, con la que el pelaje de los gatos quedaba perfectamente definido, sentó las bases del vocabulario visual del retrato de animales durante generaciones e inspiró a maestros como Andy Warhol, que siguió el ejemplo de los encantadores retratos de Chandoha para ilustrar su libro de gatos. The Cat Book salta hasta los archivos del artista que sentó las bases de un género fotográfico. A través de retratos en color de estudio y otros ambientes, imágenes callejeras en blanco y negro, escenas de certámenes antiguos de felinos y mucho más, este libro constituye un merecido homenaje no sólo a estos animales fascinantes, sino también a un artista, fallecido en enero de 2019 a la edad de 98 años, cuyo amor por ellos se percibe en cada una de sus fotografías.

From the author of the beloved novel The Towers of Trebizond, a book about Portugal that is part travelogue, part history and wholly personal.Henry Fielding sailed to Portugal with his household in search of a cure for dropsy, jaundice and asthma. The rather more alluring promise of orange-scented and wine-soaked afternoons was what drew fellow novelist William Beckford to its shores. Byron, having enjoyed the landscape was sent into a black rage, his companions making several guesses to the cause, and wrote vehemently of the country in his poetry.Rose Macaulay, meanwhile, first travelled to Lisbon in March 1943 to escape the misery of London and loss of her bombed flat. Turning to letters, diaries and travelogues, she brought together the reactions of some of the many British travellers in whose footsteps she now trod. They Went to Portugal rambles down the centuries, bringing us the voices and experiences of a fascinating cast of characters: from pirate crusaders to ambassadors, from clergymen of all denominations to the port-wine trading pioneers, from aesthetes to the Romantics. Rich in detail, ambitious in scope, the people who fill these pages are animated by Macaulay’s humour and astute eye.

The story of the real relationship between King Charles III and his mother, by the esteemed royal biographer, Ingrid Seward.The relationship between the late Monarch and her son, the King, has long been a subject of fascination. The upbringing of an heir is especially important and places an extra burden on top of all the cares of motherhood. The demands placed on the monarch are unique and there was no one better placed to know this than the late Queen. She knew that not only must they be figureheads, but they must be seen to care for others less fortunate than themselves. They are also expected to uphold family values. Princess Elizabeth made it a point of maternal honour to try and build her routine around her young son while doing her duty. When she became Queen, it was a more delicate balance, but one which she eventually learnt to sustain.Unlike his self-contained mother, who always put duty above personal happiness, King Charles needed love and support to function properly. This is the story of how Charles was shaped and moulded by his heritage. His mother was the woman he always loved but could never be close to. As Queen she held the Pandora’s box of the crown and all he could do was wait and learn. In his mother’s old age, he finally received the affection and respect from her he had craved for so long. This book documents his life through many personal anecdotes from his family and his friends, from the moment the guns saluted his birth to the day he was officially declared as the King at his Coronation.
