The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
Avui -5% en Llibres

Manson, Mark

#1 New York Times Bestseller. Over 10 million copies sold. In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be ''positive'' all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people. For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. ''F**k positivity,'' Mark Manson says. ''Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it.'' In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up. Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—''not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault.'' Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek. There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

El reflex dÆun jove revolucionari que enfronta tot poder i que organitza als obrers georgians per viure dÆuna altra manera.Homenatge a Stalin, critica velada? 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

Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse. The Ultimate History - 40th Anniversary Edition

Gerstein, David

El 18 de noviembre de 1928, el ratón más famoso del mundo hizo su primera aparición. Hoy celebramos los 90 años de Mickey en una de las publicaciones ilustradas más completas sobre el universo Disney. Desde los primeros bocetos de un personaje que, en un principio, se llamó Mortimer, repasamos la carrera de la creación más famosa de Walt Disney y Ub Iwerks, que alcanzó una inmensa popularidad en todo el mundo sólo comparable al éxito anterior de Charlie Chaplin.Con acceso ilimitado a los archivos de Disney, así como a colecciones públicas y privadas, los autores dan vida a la historia de éxito de Mickey. El diseño conceptual, los borradores de las historias, los fondos y los dibujos animados, así como fotografías históricas repasan los orígenes y la evolución de clásicos intemporales como Willy y el barco de vapor, El concierto y El sastrecillo valiente, y siguen a Mickey a medida que amplía su legendaria serie de cortometrajes animados gracias a su aparición en dos largometrajes históricos: Fantasía y Las aventuras de Bongo, Mickey y las judías mágicas.La extensa investigación en los archivos añade nueva información sobre capítulos de la carrera de Mickey poco conocidos, como el origen del Mickey Mouse Club o su utilización como símbolo patriótico durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En este recorrido descubrimos la obra de los principales artistas que dieron forma a Mickey en el cine y los cómics, incluyendo a figuras de la talla de Ub Iwerks, Win Smith, Ferdinand Horvath, Freddie Moore, Floyd Gottfredson, Carl Barks, Manuel Gonzales, Paul Murry, Romano Scarpa, Giorgio Cavazzano, Byron Erickson y César Ferioli.Mickey Mouse ha dejado una huella imborrable tanto en la cultura cotidiana como en el arte más elevado, convirtiéndose en uno de los temas favoritos de artistas pop como Andy Warhol, Keith Haring y Roy Lichtenstein. Como a Walt Disney le gustaba decir: &#x0201C,Sólo espero que nunca perdamos de vista una cosa: que todo lo empezó un ratón&#x0201D,. Y no parece que su éxito tenga fecha de caducidad. Hoy, a la tierna edad de 90 años, Mickey sigue siendo tan adorable y popular como siempre. Rindamos homenaje al pequeñín, a su leyenda y a su legado con un monumento al ratón.Copyright © 2020 Disney Enterprises, Inc.Sobre la serie¡TASCHEN ya tiene 40 años!

WOOLF, VIRGINIA

In this extraordinary essay, Virginia Woolf examines the limitations of womanhood in the early twentieth century. With the startling prose and poetic licence of a novelist, she makes a bid for freedom, emphasizing that the lack of an independent income, and the titular room of ones own, prevents most women from reaching their full literary potential. As relevant in its insight and indignation today as it was when first delivered in those hallowed lecture theatres, A Room of Ones Own remains both a beautiful work of literature and an incisive analysis of women and their place in the world. This Macmillan Collectors Library edition of A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf features an afterword by the British art historian Frances Spalding. Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collectors Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collectors Library are books to love and treasure.
