The Use Of Photography

Ernaux, Annie

The Use of Photography recounts a passionate love affair between Annie Ernaux and the journalist and author Marc Marie, after the two met in January 2003. Ernaux had been receiving intensive chemo for breast cancer during the prior three months, and had lost all her hair from the treatments. At the end of January she had surgery, followed by radiation therapy. The affair took place in different locations and Ernaux describes how, shortly after it began, she found herself entranced each morning by the sight of clothes strewn about, chairs out of place and the remains of their last meal of the evening still on the table – and how painful it felt to put things back in order afterwards. She went and got her camera, and began to take photographs of the scenes of disarray. When she told Marc Marie what she had done, he said he had felt the same desire. Translated by Alison L. Strayer into English for the first time, The Use of Photography is an extraordinary meditation on eroticism, photography and writing, a major work by the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate.

Barrios: Madrid 1976-1980.

Campano, Javier

Entre 1976 y 1980, Javier Campano (Madrid, 1950) recorrió con su cámara muchos barrios de la capital surgidos a raíz del crecimiento demográfico provocado por el éxodo rural desde los años de la posguerra y el posterior desarrollismo. El resultado es un extraordinario relato visual sobre la transición urbana de Madrid a través de 90 imágenes inéditas tomadas durante esos paseos, en los que el fotógrafo se acercó con una mirada cercana y reivindicativa a la vida de barrio.-Un archivo de 90 imágenes inéditas hasta el momento-

The Prime Of Life

Beauvoir, Simone de

The second volume in Simone de Beauvoir’s celebrated autobiography recalls her formative years in Paris when she began to emerge as a public figureFirst published in 1960, The Prime of Life offers an intimate, captivating picture of Simone de Beauvoir in her twenties, thirties and forties. Beginning as a recent graduate from the Sorbonne teaching high-school girls, we see de Beauvoir revel in the freedom her new financial independence brings. We see her and Jean-Paul Sartre recognise the powerful romantic and intellectual partnership they have found in one another, as they fall in love and define their own unconventional parameters. The Second World War comes, bringing austerity, violence and questions of the reality of freedom and individual responsibility into de Beauvoir’s life. As relevant and penetrating as when first published, The Prime of Life offers rare insight into a truly fascinating mind.

Solito

Zamora, Javier

New York Times Bestseller • Read With Jenna Book Club Pick as seen on Today • Winner of the Los Angeles Times Christopher Isherwood Prize for Autobiography • Winner of the American Library Association Alex AwardA young poet tells the inspiring story of his migration from El Salvador to the United States at the age of nine in this “gripping memoir” (NPR) of bravery, hope, and finding family. Javier Zamora’s adventure is a three-thousand-mile journey from his small town in El Salvador, through Guatemala and Mexico, and across the U.S. border. He will leave behind his beloved aunt and grandparents to reunite with a mother who left four years ago and a father he barely remembers. Traveling alone amid a group of strangers and a “coyote” hired to lead them to safety, Javier expects his trip to last two short weeks.At nine years old, all Javier can imagine is rushing into his parents’ arms, snuggling in bed between them, and living under the same roof again. He cannot foresee the perilous boat trips, relentless desert treks, pointed guns, arrests and deceptions that await him, nor can he know that those two weeks will expand into two life-altering months alongside fellow migrants who will come to encircle him like an unexpected family.A memoir as gripping as it is moving, Solito provides an immediate and intimate account not only of a treacherous and near-impossible journey, but also of the miraculous kindness and love delivered at the most unexpected moments. Solito is Javier Zamora’s story, but it’s also the story of millions of others who had no choice but to leave home.

Will

A.A. V.V.

One of the most dynamic and globally recognized entertainment forces of our time opens up fully about his life, in a brave and inspiring book that traces his learning curve to a place where outer success, inner happiness, and human connection are aligned. Along the way, Will tells the story in full of one of the most amazing rides through the worlds of music and film that anyone has ever had.Will Smith's transformation from a fearful child in a tense West Philadelphia home to one of the biggest rap stars of his era and then one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood history, with a string of box office successes that will likely never be broken, is an epic tale of inner transformation and outer triumph, and Will tells it astonishingly well. But it's only half the story.Will Smith thought, with good reason, that he had won at life: not only was his own success unparalleled, his whole family was at the pinnacle of the entertainment world. Only they didn't see it that way: they felt more like star performers in his circus, a seven-days-a-week job they hadn't signed up for. It turned out Will Smith's education wasn't nearly over.This memoir is the product of a profound journey of self-knowledge, a reckoning with all that your will can get you and all that it can leave behind. Written with the help of Mark Manson, author of the multi-million-copy bestseller The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, Will is the story of how one exceptional man mastered his own emotions, written in a way that can help everyone else do the same. Few of us will know the pressure of performing on the world's biggest stages for the highest of stakes, but we can all understand that the fuel that works for one stage of our journey might have to be changed if we want to make it all the way home. The combination of genuine wisdom of universal value and a life story that is preposterously entertaining, even astonishing, puts Will the book, like its author, in a category by itself.

The Red Emperor: Xi Jinping and His New China

Sheridan, Michael

'Michael Sheridan is one of the best informed and wisest writers on China' - Chris Patten, last governor of Hong KongThe Red Emperor presents an eye-opening portrait of Xi Jinping, the man who presides over 1.4 billion people and the second largest economy on earth. Born a 'princeling' to one of Communist China's ruling families, the young Xi was exiled to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution. He fought his way back to the top by stealth, privilege and guile. In 2012, following the spectacular fall of his rival Bo Xilai, Xi Jinping became the leader of China.In a compulsively readable narrative, veteran foreign correspondent Michael Sheridan takes the reader from the poor, isolated country of Xi's youth to the military and economic superpower of today. In Xi's new China, family mafias struggle for power amid murder, corruption and sex scandals as ministers and generals vanish in purges. No one is safe in his techno-security state. Xi is an absolute ruler whose word is law on everything from war and peace to the ruthless campaign against Covid-19. He aims to dominate world trade, to defeat Western democracy and to make China the supreme power in the East. A loner and a risk-taker, he is the most consequential leader of our time.Drawing on intimate stories from the closed world of China's leading families and two decades of first-hand reporting, Michael Sheridan sheds new light on the history and politics of China. The book reveals that behind the façade of the Chinese Communist Party there is a modern dynasty and a new emperor.

Tupac Shakur: The Authorized Biography

Robinson, Staci

The first and only Estate-authorized biography of the legendary artist, Tupac Shakur, a moving exploration of his life and powerful legacy, fully illustrated with photos, mementos, handwritten poetry, musings, and more.Artist, Poet, Actor, Revolutionary, Legend- Tupac ShakurTupac Shakur is one of the greatest and most controversial artists of all time. More than a quarter of a century after his tragic death in 1996 at the age of just twenty-five, he continues to be one of the most misunderstood, complicated and prolific figures in modern history. Tupac’s unapologetic lyrics, for which he was villainized by many at the time, read in these pages as prophecy. His cry of outrage in a country that repeatedly told Black men and women that their lives did not matter, continues to inspire his fans around the world. In Tupac Shakur , author and screenwriter Staci Robinson—who knew Tupac as a young man and who was entrusted by his mother, Afeni Shakur, to write his biography—peels back the myths and unpacks the complexities that have shadowed Tupac’s existence. With exclusive access to his private notebooks, letters, unpublished lyrics and uncensored conversations with those who knew and loved him best, Robinson tells a powerful story of a life defined by politics and art, and a man driven by equal parts brilliance and impulsiveness.It is a story of a mother and son bound together by a love for each other and for their people, and the relationship that endured through their darkest times. It is a political story that begins in the whirlwind of the 60’s Civil Rights Movement, and takes you through a young artist's awakening to rage and purpose in the nineties era of Rodney King. It is a story of dizzying success and its devastating consequences. And, of course, it is the story of his music, his timeless message that will never die as it continues to touch and inspire past, present and future generations.

Nadal

Zubiarrain, Miguel Ángel

El 5 de junio de 2005 se escribía la primera página de la mayor leyenda de la historia del deporte español: Rafa Nadal, con tan solo 19 años, ganaba el primer Grand Slam (los cuatro grandes torneos de tenis) de su carrera: Roland Garros. Hoy, 2024, el tenista mallorquín acaba de anunciar su retirada con un palmarés legendario: 22 victorias en Grand Slam (14 Roland Garros, 4 Open USA, 2 Wimbledon y 2 Open de Australia), dos triunfos en Juegos Olímpicos (oro en individuales en Pekín-2008 y oro en dobles en Río de Janeiro-2016) y cinco títulos para España de Copa Davis (2004, 2008, 2009, 2011 y 2019). Con un resultado de victorias/derrotas de 1.080/227, con 92 títulos ganados en el circuito mundial ATP, con unas ganancias estimadas de más de 125 millones de euros y con 209 semanas como número uno del mundo, don Rafael Nadal Parera es sin duda ya una leyenda del deporte mundial. Y justo en el momento de su retirada, el mejor homenaje es un libro que recoge, en texto y en imágenes, las dos décadas de Rafa Nadal en la cima del deporte mundial. Su autor, Miguel Ángel Zubiarrain, es la mayor autoridad mediática del tenis español, con más de cuatro décadas viajando por el mundo escribiendo y, sobre todo, fotografiando las hazañas de Rafa y del resto de tenistas. Y la edición de PoeBOOKS, como siempre, de auténtico lujo: gran formato, tapa dura, 256 páginas en color y un estilo gráfico que pretende trasladar al papel las sensaciones que Rafa Nadal no ha parado de provocarnos en estas dos décadas.

I pack my bags, talk to the survivors, write my stories, then go home to wait for the next catastrophe. I don’t wait very long.Journalist Patricia Evangelista came of age in the aftermath of a street revolution that forged a new future for the Philippines. Three decades later, in the face of mounting inequality, the nation discovered the fragility of its democratic institutions under the regime of strongman Rodrigo Duterte.Some People Need Killing is Evangelista’s meticulously reported and deeply human chronicle of the Philippines’ drug war. For six years, Evangelista chronicled the killings carried out by police and vigilantes in the name of Duterte’s war on drugs – a war that has led to the slaughter of thousands – immersing herself in the world of killers and survivors and capturing the atmosphere of fear created when an elected president decides that some lives are worth less than others.The book takes its title from a vigilante whose words seemed to reflect the psychological accommodation that most of the country had made: ‘I’m really not a bad guy,’ he said. ‘I’m not all bad. Some people need killing.’A profound act of witness and a tour de force of literary journalism, Some People Need Killing is also a brilliant dissection of the grammar of violence and an important investigation of the human impulses to dominate and resist.

“Si no te arriesgas a vivir, no vives, sobrevives” Sé malvada, sé valiente es el testimonio de una vida vivida contra todo pronóstico, la historia de una niña que decidió no resignarse ante sus circunstancias y ha librado con audacia, perseverancia y autenticidad las batallas que la han convertido en la mujer que es hoy.

Panikkar. Una biografia

Bielawski, Maciej

Es deia Raimon Panikkar (Barcelona 1918 - Tavertet 2010). Erudit excels, viatger infatigable, interlocutor fascinant, oficiant extàtic, escriptor fecund que anava més enllà de l'escriptura i parlava del silenci de la paraula. Sempre serè i somrient, fresc i lúcid fins al final. Home bell i encantador, lleuger i robust, delicat i resistent. La llegenda és una mirada llunyana, i aquí resideixen la força, la bellesa, la fascinació i la seducció que la impregnen. Panikkar es presentava i era vist d'aquesta manera. Era un meteor, un cometa, un llamp. Sempre venia de lluny i després desapareixia. Procedia d'un ric passat, compost de totes les terres que havia recorregut i de tots els coneixements que havia acumulat. Més enllà de la llegenda, la investigació biogràfica ens permet superar el retrat hagiogràfic i obtenir una imatge més fidel a la realitat històrica. Si l'obra de Panikkar és interessant, important, fascinant i grandiosa, no ho és menys la seva trajectòria vital. Si es mira la seva vida amb honestedat, delicadesa i respecte, i sense prejudicis, idealitzacions ni censures absurdes, es troba en ella la clau de comprensió del seu missatge.

Siempre sereno y sonriente, fresco y lúcido hasta el final. Hombre bello y encantador, ligero y robusto, delicado y resistente. La leyenda es una mirada lejana, y aquí residen la fuerza, la belleza, la fascinación y la seducción que la impregnan. Panikkar se presentaba y era visto de este modo. Era un meteoro, un cometa, un relámpago. Siempre venía de lejos y luego desaparecía. Procedía de un rico pasado, compuesto de todas las tierras que había recorrido y de todos los conocimientos que había acumulado. Más allá de la leyenda, la investigación biográfica nos permite superar el retrato hagiográfico y obtener una imagen más fiel a la realidad histórica. Si la obra de Panikkar es interesante, importante, fascinante y grandiosa, no lo es menos su trayectoria vital. Si se mira su vida con honestidad, delicadeza y respeto, y sin prejuicios, idealizaciones ni censuras absurdas, se encuentra en ella la clave de comprensión de su mensaje.

Un silencio a gritos

Barbero, Manuel

Aquella Navidad fue desoladora. Manuel Barbero se levantó el 24 de diciembre del 2013 con la noticia de que un profesor de Educación Física había abusado sexualmente de uno de sus hijos. Cuando era niño, Manuel también había sufrido abusos y conocía la perfección el túnel aterrador que tendría que recorrer Toni. Su primer impulso fue hacer justicia por su cuenta, pero por suerte se arrepintió y decidió mover cielo y tierra para destapar otros abusos que habían tenido lugar en la misma y en otras escuelas y exponerlos públicamente. Gracias a él, el caso Maristas está sobre la mesa de personas que querrían mirar hacia otro lado. Este es el relato en primera persona de un hombre que ha presionado a la justicia para que hiciera justicia y que ha ayudado a muchas personas como él y su hijo a alzar la cabeza y seguir adelante sin sentirse culpables de haberse topado con el demonio. «Inocencia y despreocupación, la mejor etapa del ser humano, la infancia como síntesis de ternura y de amor: es una sentencia con pies de barro, aunque tendrían que ser de acero. Que se lo pregunten a todos los que se limitan a sobrevivir en la infancia. Preguntádmelo a mí.»
