Winton, Barbara

There are around 6000 people in the world today who owe their lives to Nicholas Winton. They are the descendants of a group of refugee children rescued by him from the Nazi threat in 1939. Some of them know of his existence and the part he played in their history, many others do not. It was a short event in his life but a critical one for those whose lives were saved. For him that intervention was over in a flash and other adventures supplanted it. Only much later did this episode re-emerge in his life and ever since has brought him visitors from all over the world anxious to learn his story. This book lays out that story in detail, exploring the motivation and early experiences that led to him acting to save young lives, while others looked the other way. His motto ''If something is not impossible, then there must be a way to do it'' led him to follow his own convictions and undertake an operation others had dismissed as unnecessary or too difficult. His life thereafter was full of exploits stimulated by similar motivation which, though not so consequential, remain testimony to his character. But what was his motivation? How had his life and background led to him being ready, willing and able to conduct a successful rescue operation of 669 children from Czechoslovakia at the age of 29? His daughter has painstakingly sifted through her father's papers and talked to family and friends to construct a detailed account of his whole life. It explores the influences on his character as well as the historical events he was caught up in. Taken from his historical letters and writings, Winton's own words are introduced to convey the atmosphere of many of his diverse experiences.

Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn

Corbijn, Anton

En noviembre de 2020, Depeche Mode ingresó en el Salón de la Fama del Rock & Roll. En su discurso de aceptación, Dave Gahan dijo: ''Quiero expresar mi agradecimiento a Anton Corbijn, que gracias a Dios llegó en el momento oportuno y nos hizo parecer cool''. Además, en otoño de 2020, TASCHEN publicó Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn (81-18) en edición limitada y firmada por Depeche Mode y Anton Corbijn. Se trata de una de las Ediciones de Coleccionista que más rápidamente se han vendido en la historia de la editorial. Esta edición de bolsillo, más amable con la billetera, es un reconocimiento a la creatividad única y cool de Corbijn, tal como Gahan reconoció de manera conmovedora en su discurso, una historia ilustrada de cómo Corbijn se convirtió en 1986 en el director creativo de facto de Depeche Mode y ayudó a cimentar su reputación como el grupo de culto más importante del mundo.Presenta más de 150 fotografías procedentes de los extensos archivos de Corbijn, algunas de ellas inéditas, incluidos retratos formales e informales en lugares como Madrid, Hamburgo, el desierto de California, Praga y Marrakech, una multitud de instantáneas íntimas y espontáneas e impresionantes imágenes de actuaciones en directo de todas sus giras desde 1988 hasta 2023.Creado en estrecha colaboración con los miembros del grupo, que comparten sus impresiones sobre el trabajo con Corbijn, Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn cuenta cómo la estética original de un hombre ha definido todas las fotografías de la banda, así como la mayoría de sus vídeos, el grafismo de sus álbumes y el diseño de sus escenarios para ayudar a dar forma a su popularidad inextinguible. Al reflexionar sobre el rol que desempeña en Depeche, Corbijn recuerda en la introducción del libro: ''Se me ocurrieron muchas ideas y quería que encajasen con ellos. Quería pensar por ellos. Ser grande para ellos''. Este libro es un homenaje a la profundidad y extensión de esa grandeza, una celebración de una de las colaboraciones más creativas y duraderas de la historia del rock.

To kill a monkingbird

Lee, Harper

Brought to you by Penguin.One of the greatest American novels ever written.Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man falsely charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much.To Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story, an anti-racist novel, a historical drama of the Great Depression and a sublime example of the Southern writing tradition.

El campo del diseño de packaging no ha dejado de expandirse e innovar. Hoy es uno de los más vibrantes, competitivos y de rápida evolución del sector. Varios factores influyen en él: los requisitos del consumidor, las técnicas de marketing, políticas ambientales cada vez más exigentes y la necesidad de sintonizar con aspectos culturales y de diversidad.

Andy Warhol. Seven Illustrated Books 1952-1959
Avui -5% en Llibres

Aavv

En el Nueva York de la década de 1950, antes de convertirse en uno de los nombres más célebres del siglo XX, Andy Warhol era ya un hábil y exitoso artista comercial. Durante esa época, como parte de su estrategia para atraer a clientes y forjar amistades, creó siete libros promocionales hechos a mano reservados para sus contactos más valiosos. En ellos incluyó extravagantes dibujos y textos suyos, revelando, entre otras, su pasión por los gatos, la comida, los mitos, los zapatos, los chicos guapos y las chicas hermosas.Décadas más tarde, y con los originales pasando de unos propietarios a otros por miles de dólares en subastas, TASCHEN presenta un volumen de tamaño XL que contiene meticulosas reediciones de estos siete libros. Con títulos como Love Is A Pink Cake (El amor es una tarta color rosa), 25 Cats Named Sam (25 gatos llamados Sam) y À la Recherche du Shoe Perdu (En busca del zapato perdido), esta serie revela el carácter fuera de lo común del artista, su destreza como dibujante, su creatividad ilimitada y su sutil sentido del humor.Este libro juega con estilos y géneros: Las litografías de A Is for Alphabet (A de Alfabeto) dedican una página a cada una de las letras del abecedario, con ilustraciones acompañadas de versos de tres líneas que hablan de extraños encuentros entre el hombre y los animales. In the Bottom of My Garden (Al fondo de mi jardín) es un cuento infantil warholiano y al mismo tiempo un homenaje al amor homosexual. Wild Raspberries (Frambuesas silvestres) es una parodia de un libro de cocina con una serie de recetas atrevidas con instrucciones e ilustraciones.Este colorido volumen también incluye introducciones para cada una de las ilustraciones de Warhol. Enriquecidas con fotografías raramente vistas del artista, objetos inspiradores y trabajos comerciales, contextualizan el arte de Warhol de la década de 1950 ofreciendo una visión de su proceso creativo en aquellos primeros años así como de su carácter entrañable y juguetón.Estos libros son joyas poco conocidas pero muy codiciadas del universo Warhol. Delicias dibujadas a mano tan atractivas y originales hoy como lo fueron en la década de 1950. Con una introducción de la experta en Warhol Nina Schleif, así como ilustraciones de la época y fotografías de Warhol, esta edición meticulosa ofrece una mirada única a un genio incipiente a punto de alcanzar la fama mundial.© The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc.

Supercommunicators
Avui -5% en Llibres

Duhigg, Charles

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Habit, a fascinating exploration of what makes conversations work, and how we can all learn to be Supercommunicators at work and in life. We all know people who are capable of connecting with almost anyone. They're the ones we love talking to, who we turn to for advice, who hear what we are trying to say and make us feel seen. What do they know about conversation that makes them so special? Supercommunicators, Charles Duhigg argues, understand that whenever we speak, we're actually participating in one of three conversations: practical (What's this really about?), emotional (How do we feel?), and social (Who are we?). If you don't know what kind of conversation you're having, connection is hard.Skilled communicators know the importance of recognizing and then matching each kind of conversation, and how to hear the complex emotions, subtle negotiations, and hidden beliefs that color so much of what we say and how we listen. Our experiences, our values, our emotional lives, and how we see ourselves, and others, shape every discussion, from who will pick up the kids to how we want to be treated at work. With his trademark clarity and storytelling, Duhigg shows readers how to recognize these three conversations&mdashand teaches us the skills we need to navigate them more successfully. Communication is a superpower. By bringing readers into jury deliberations and fraught CIA recruitments, into Netflix's companywide conversations about equity and the writers's room of The Big Bang Theory, we learn why some people are able to make themselves heard and to hear others so clearly. We learn how to identify and leverage the hidden layers that lurk beneath every conversation. In the end, we learn a simple but powerful lesson: With the right tools, we can connect with anyone.

STUART, DOUGLAS

It is 1981. Glasgow is dying and good families must grift to survive. Agnes Bain has always expected more from life. She dreams of greater things: a house with its own front door and a life bought and paid for outright (like her perfect, but false, teeth). But Agnes is abandoned by her philandering husband, and soon she and her three children find themselves trapped in a decimated mining town. As she descends deeper into drink, the children try their best to save her, yet one by one they must abandon her to save themselves. It is her son Shuggie who holds out hope the longest. Shuggie is different. Fastidious and fussy, he shares his mother’s sense of snobbish propriety. The miners' children pick on him and adults condemn him as no’ right. But Shuggie believes that if he tries his hardest, he can be normal like the other boys and help his mother escape this hopeless place. Douglas Stuart's Shuggie Bain lays bare the ruthlessness of poverty, the limits of love, and the hollowness of pride. A counterpart to the privileged Thatcher-era London of Alan Hollinghurst’s The Line of Beauty, it also recalls the work of Édouard Louis, Frank McCourt, and Hanya Yanagihara, a blistering debut by a brilliant writer with a powerful and important story to tell.
