Sometimes, on a street corner, a forgotten but flamboyant façade recalls past glories. It's there to remind everyone that cinema is immortal.The packed audiences of darkened cinema rooms are no more. People are gradually drifting back home to lounge in front of a multitude of online platforms, far less expensive than a trip to the picture palace. Habits have changed... the cinema is no longer a world of magic.Movie theatres have lost their splendour, often pushed into the suburbs and choked left and right by fast-food chains as if they were ashamed to exist at all.

Descubra la estética única de Tadao Ando, el único arquitecto que ha ganado los cuatro premios más prestigiosos de su disciplina: el Pritzker, el Carlsberg, el Praemium Imperiale y el Kyoto.Philippe Starck lo definió como ''un místico en un mundo que ya no lo es''. Philip Drew se refiere a sus edificios como obras de land art que ''luchan por salir de la tierra''. Y sus proyectos han sido descritos como haikus compuestos de hormigón, agua, luz y espacio. Sin embargo, para Tadao Ando la verdadera arquitectura no se expresa en la metafísica ni en la belleza sino a través del espacio que representa la comprensión de lo físico.Esta completa edición actualizada en 2023 recorre toda su carrera, e incluye proyectos tan recientes y extraordinarios como el Bourse de Commerce de Paris y el Nakanoshima Children's Book Forest en Osaka. Cada obra se presenta con fotografías y bocetos y explora su uso magistral del hormigón, la madera, el agua, la luz, el espacio y las formas naturales. Este homenaje en tamaño XXL presenta residencias privadas, iglesias, museos, complejos de apartamentos y espacios culturales en Japón, Corea, Francia, Italia, España y Estados Unidos. Es la obra definitiva sobre el maestro de la modernidad.

In this deeply intimate second poetry collection, Ocean Vuong searches for life among the aftershocks of his mother's death, embodying the paradox of sitting within grief while being determined to survive beyond it. Vivid, brave and propulsive, Vuong's poems contend with personal loss, the meaning of family, and the value of joy in a perennially fractured American spirit.The author of the critically acclaimed poetry collection Night Sky with Exit Wounds, winner of the 2016 Whiting Award, the 2017 T. S. Eliot Prize and a 2019 MacArthur fellow, Vuong writes directly to our humanity without losing sight of the current moment. Bold and prescient, and a testament to tenderness in the face of violence, Time is a Mother is a return and a forging-forth all at once.

Federico García Lorca was the most beloved poet of twentieth-century Spain and one of the world's most influential modernist writers. His work has long been admired for its passionate urgency and haunting evocation of sorrow and loss. Perhaps more persistently than any writer of his time, he sought to understand and accommodate the numinous sources of his inspiration. Though he died at age thirty-eight, he left behind a generous body of poetry, drama, musical arrangements, and drawings, which continue to surprise and inspire.Christopher Maurer, a leading García Lorca scholar and editor, has brought together new and substantially revised translations by twelve poets and translators, placed side by side with the Spanish originals. The seminal volume Poet in New York is also included here in its entirety.This is the most comprehensive collection in English of a poet who―as Maurer writes in his illuminating introduction―''spoke unforgettably of all that most interests us: the otherness of nature, the demons of personal identity and artistic creation, sex, childhood, and death.''

COSTA BOOK OF THE YEAR 2017 Winner of the 2017 Costa Poetry Award. To be alive is to be inside the wave, always travelling until it breaks and is gone.

They possess a spare, eloquent lyricism as they explore the bliss and anguish of the voyage.Inside the Wave , Helen Dunmore's tenth and final book of poetry, followed The Malarkey (2012), whose title-poem won the National Poetry Competition. Her other books include Glad of These Times (2007), and Out of the Blue: Poems 1975-2001 (2001), a comprehensive selection drawing on seven previous collections.

US foreign policy is undergoing a dire transformation, forever changing America’s place in the world. Institutions of diplomacy and development are bleeding out after deep budget cuts, the diplomats who make America’s deals and protect democratic interests around the world are walking out in droves. Offices across the State Department sit empty, while abroad the military-industrial complex has assumed the work once undertaken by peacemakers. Increasingly, America is a nation that shoots first and asks questions later.In an astonishing journey from the corridors of power in Washington, DC, to some of the most remote and dangerous places on earth – Afghanistan, Somalia, and North Korea among them acclaimed investigative journalist Ronan Farrow illuminates one of the most consequential and poorly understood changes in American history. His first-hand experience as a former State Department official affords a personal look at some of the last standard bearers of traditional statecraft, including Richard Holbrooke, who made peace in Bosnia and died while trying to do so in Afghanistan.Drawing on newly unearthed documents, and richly informed by rare interviews with warlords, whistle-blowers, and policymakers – including every living secretary of state from Henry Kissinger to Hillary Clinton to Rex Tillerson – War on Peace makes a powerful case for an endangered profession. Diplomacy, Farrow argues, has declined after decades of political cowardice, short-sightedness, and outright malice – but it may just offer a way out of a world at war.A book for anyone interested to know more about how the world really works by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ronan Farrow.
