Wolk, Douglas

Stan Lee y Jack Kirby hicieron debutar a Silver Surfer (también conocido como Estela Plateada) en las fértiles páginas de Los 4 Fantásticos, y rápidamente se convirtió en uno de los personajes más excepcionales de Marvel. Esclavizado por Galactus, un semidiós que le ordena viajar por el cosmos en busca de su próxima comida (del tamaño de un planeta), Surfer es una figura tan trágica como la que más, ¡y al mismo tiempo increíblemente guay! El personaje, un gran éxito entre los fans y un secundario habitual en Los 4 Fantásticos, tocó la fibra sensible de Lee, quien ardía en deseos de hacerlo protagonista de sus propias historias. Pero había que esperar el momento adecuado.En la primavera de 1968, el autor y el personaje tuvieron su oportunidad, y Lee presentó el primer cómic de tamaño doble de Silver Surfer. Lee también reclutó al dibujante John Buscema, quien recientemente había contribuido con su extraordinario arte a Los Vengadores. Juntos crearon una serie de aventuras legendarias que ayudaron a definir el personaje para siempre.Este tomo XXL de tamaño cósmico de la serie Marvel Comics Library, ganadora del premio Eisner, recopila las historias más destacadas de los 18 números de Silver Surfer de 1968 (con un número final ilustrado por Jack ''King'' Kirby y reproduce fotográficamente los cómics originales mejor conservados, un trabajo realizado en estrecha colaboración con Marvel y Certified Guaranty Company.Cada página se ha fotografiado tal como se imprimió hace más de medio siglo. A continuación, se ha remasterizado digitalmente utilizando modernas técnicas de retoque para corregir problemas con la impresión económica e imperfecta de la época. El resultado es un volumen que parece salir de una imprenta de primera categoría de la década de 1960.  Para esta serie se ha desarrollado en exclusiva un tipo de papel que simula el tacto de los cómics originales.Las historias están acompañadas por fotografías, material documental poco conocido y textos del escritor y crítico Douglas Wolk y del artista de Marvel Sal Buscema. © 2023 MARVEL

La venerada tradición de la ilustración botánica se remonta al Renacimiento. Surgió del deseo de catalogar la naturaleza en su esplendor impredecible, y la tarea necesitó de la participación de artistas de talento.Con su extraordinaria habilidad para capturar los temas más intrincados de la naturaleza, Pierre-Joseph Redouté está considerado el mejor pintor y grabador de motivos botánicos. Trabajar con plantas vivas en lugar de los especímenes de herbario proporcionó a sus acuarelas una sutileza y frescura inusuales. También fue un innovador en los métodos de impresión, e introdujo en Francia la técnica de grabado del punteado en busca de una mayor exactitud en su arte. Redouté logró por casualidad el apoyo de algunos de los mecenas más influyentes de la época, incluidas María Antonieta y la emperatriz Josefina Bonaparte, lo que le aseguró una buena financiación y exposición de su trabajo.Su impresionante colección comprende más de 2.000 pinturas de plantas realizadas con estricta fidelidad a las formas naturales. En esta exquisita edición de Les Roses, Redouté dirige su atención a la flor más romántica, deseable y evocadora. Publicada originalmente en tres volúmenes entre 1817 y 1824, sigue siendo su obra más famosa y celebrada.

In ascension

MacInnes, Martin

Leigh grew up in Rotterdam, drawn to the waterfront as an escape from her unhappy home life and volatile father. Enchanted by the undersea world of her childhood, she excels in marine biology, travelling the globe to study ancient organisms. When a trench is discovered in the Atlantic ocean, Leigh joins the exploration team, hoping to find evidence of the earth's first life forms - what she instead finds calls into question everything we know about our own beginnings.Her discovery leads Leigh to the Mojave desert and an ambitious new space agency. Drawn deeper into the agency's work, she learns that the Atlantic trench is only one of several related phenomena from across the world, each piece linking up to suggest a pattern beyond human understanding. Leigh knows that to continue working with the agency will mean leaving behind her declining mother and her younger sister, and faces an impossible choice: to remain with her family, or to embark on a journey across the breadth of the cosmos.Exploring the natural world with the wonder and reverence we usually reserve for the stars, In Ascension is a compassionate, deeply inquisitive epic that reaches outward to confront the greatest questions of existence, looks inward to illuminate the smallest details of the human heart, and shows how - no matter how far away we might be and how much we have lost hope - we will always attempt to return to the people and places we call home.

Poets of Madrid

Versión en inglés de POETAS DE MADRID, con Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Góngora, Quevedo, Valle-Inclán y Rubén DaríoThis is Madrid.Madrid. Homeric city, the cradle and grave of many of us that pour out the joyful days of youth among its streets and wineries, throughout its history it has accepted into its fold non-conforming poets from the four corners of the earth, because one is born a poet in his land, but one is made and perishes in Madrid.No matter where you are from, Madrid never leaves you indifferent, it always offers the rhapsodist who has moved to the capital in search of fortune, a lively space about which to write their verses. If our lives are the rivers as Manrique said, today the Manzanares river has been reborn and is full of life.Poets of Madrid is a generous title, as is Madrid. This anthology shows that the city drew them in from very distant places: Rubén Darío, for example, was born in Nicaragua, Valle-Inclán in Galicia, Góngora was Andalusian, Cervantes was born in Alcalá de Henares, thirty kilometres from Madrid, only Francisco de Quevedo and Lope de Vega were true Madrid natives.With this, we are trying to say that the presence of Rubén Darío in the anthology represents the percentage of the Hispanic American population who, proud of the city that embraces them, carries the same language in their voices, Góngora and Valle-Inclán, that of the surrounding areas, Cervantes, that of the city's close neighbours, and Lope and Quevedo, that of those born in Madrid. Because those us of from other parts of the globe were attracted to this city, which is no longer a Manchegan dump, for its courtesy and its lack of rejection, as a place known for its cosmopolitanism should be.

A people's history of the portuguese revolution
Avui -5% en Llibres

Varela, Raquel

On the 25th April 1974, a coup destroyed the ranks of Portugal’s fascist Estado Novo government as the Portuguese people flooded the streets of Lisbon, placing red carnations in the barrels of guns and demanding a ‘land for those who work in it’.This became the Carnation Revolution - an international coalition of working class and social movements, which also incited struggles for independence in Portugal’s African colonies, the rebellion of the young military captains in the national armed forces and the uprising of Portugal’s long-oppressed working classes. It was through the organising power of these diverse movements that a popular-front government was instituted and Portugal withdrew from its overseas colonies.Cutting against the grain of mainstream accounts, Raquel Cardeira Varela explores the role of trade unions, artists and women in the revolution, providing a rich account of the challenges faced and the victories gained through revolutionary means.
