Budapest Twilight
Avui -5% en Llibres

García Prado, Luis

Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, a new regime emerged in Hungary that bears striking resemblances to the long-gone one-party communist system. The return to power of Viktor Orbán, who became the champion of ultra-nationalist populism, degraded the Hungarian institutions to the point of turning a young democracy into a thinly disguised autocratic regime. In this personal chronicle, Luis G. Prado, who began visiting Budapest more than two decades ago and, falling in love with the Hungarian capital, moved to live there with his family, asks himself whether the time has come to leave Hungary. Is the political evolution towards authoritarianism in Hungary irreversible? Will the Orbán regime ever find its final form? How did it reach this point in a member state of the European Union, which is a club of democracies, no less?

Díaz, Hernán

ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES TOP TEN BOOKS OF 2022ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2022LONGLISTED FOR THE 2022 BOOKER PRIZEEven through the roar and effervescence of the 1920s, everyone in New York has heard of Benjamin and Helen Rask. He is a legendary Wall Street tycoon, she is the daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together, they have risen to the very top of a world of seemingly endless wealth—all as a decade of excess and speculation draws to an end. But at what cost have they acquired their immense fortune? This is the mystery at the center of Bonds, a successful 1937 novel that all of New York seems to have read. Yet there are other versions of this tale of privilege and deceit.Hernan Diaz’s TRUST elegantly puts these competing narratives into conversation with one another—and in tension with the perspective of one woman bent on disentangling fact from fiction. The result is a novel that spans over a century and becomes more exhilarating with each new revelation.At once an immersive story and a brilliant literary puzzle, TRUST engages the reader in a quest for the truth while confronting the deceptions that often live at the heart of personal relationships, the reality-warping force of capital, and the ease with which power can manipulate facts.

Hemingway, Ernest

It is the story of an old Cuban fisherman, down on his luck, and his supreme ordeal: a relentless, agonizing battle with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.Using the simple, powerful language of a fable, Hemingway takes the timeless themes of courage in the face of defeat and personal triumph won from loss and transforms them into a magnificent twentieth-century classic. Written in 1952, this hugely successful novel confirmed his power and presence in the literary world and played a large part in his winning the 1954 Nobel Prize for Literature.

Julian Schnabel

Holzwarth, Hans Werner

Julian Schnabel convierte la vida en arte y encuentra los asuntos de sus obras en el tejido de lo cotidiano. Utiliza platos rotos como soporte inesperado para sus cuadros y pinta sobre terciopelo, cubiertas de puestos de mercado, fondos de teatro kabuki, lonas militares y de cuadriláteros de boxeo: materiales encontrados que aportan su propia historia a la exploración del artista. Tras el éxito fulgurante de su primera exposición individual en Nueva York en 1979, que lo convirtió en el abanderado del regreso de la pintura, trabajó con todo tipo de medios: realizó esculturas que trasponen sus pinturas al espacio tridimensional como artefactos en bruto, aparentemente desgastados por el paso del tiempo, dirigió películas premiadas que retratan a artistas y otras figuras sutilmente heroicas, e incluso hizo realidad su sueño de construir un palacio veneciano en Nueva York. ''Quiero que mi vida esté en mi obra, comprimida en mi pintura como un coche prensado. De lo contrario, mi trabajo solo son cosas'', ha dicho Schnabel, y esta urgencia impregna su obra sin importar qué soportes o medios elija. Esta monografía de TASCHEN, realizada en estrecha colaboración con el artista, está ahora disponible en una edición popular que presenta la rica variedad de la obra de Schnabel con una profundidad sin precedentes.  Completan el volumen textos de amigos y colaboradores: Laurie Anderson elabora una semblanza íntima de Schnabel, en tres ensayos de comisarios e historiadores del arte, Éric de Chassey analiza la pintura, Bonnie Clearwater la escultura y Max Hollein sus obras in situ, Donatien Grau escribe sobre el Palazzo Chupi, la extravagante casa del artista en el West Village de Nueva York, y el novelista Daniel Kehlmann explora su obra cinematográfica. Esta edición le permitirá estudiar las superficies y las acciones y gestos artísticos de Schnabel, y le dará la oportunidad de sentir su arte de un modo que solo experimentarlo en persona puede superar.

Buford, Bill

A primera vista, las acuarelas de animales a gran escala tan sumamente detalladas recuerdan a los grabados de los ilustradores del siglo XIX John James Audubon y Edward Lear. Una segunda mirada más de cerca, sin embargo, revela un complejo universo perturbadoramente antropomórfico, lleno de símbolos, bromas pícaras y alusiones a la cualidad ''operística'' de la historia natural tradicional.En este universo visual asombroso y siniestro a un tiempo, las bestias y los pájaros no son meros objetos estéticos sino más bien actores dinámicos en batallas alegóricas: un pavo aplastando a un pequeño loro con sus garras, una colección de monos causando estragos en una mesa formalmente dispuesta, o un búfalo rodeado por una manada de lobos blancos ensangrentados. Las imágenes, deslumbrantes acuarelas, impresionan tanto por su impecable realismo como por su complejo contenido.Disponible originalmente en edición limitada y firmada, este volumen actualizado de Pancha Tantra es el estudio más exhaustivo de la obra de Ford hasta la fecha, que incluye más de 20 nuevas obras del artista. Ofrece detalles deslumbrantes, una exploración en profundidad de su universo visual, una biografía completa y extractos de los textos que le sirvieron de inspiración: desde cuentos populares indios y las cartas de Benjamin Franklin a la Autobiografía de Benvenutto Cellini y la Ornithological Biography de John James Audubon.

Walt Disney soñó durante décadas con crear el mejor complejo de entretenimiento, pero no fue hasta principios de la década de 1950 cuando empezó a hacer realidad su sueño gracias a un equipo al que seleccionó personalmente. Juntos, artistas, arquitectos e ingenieros transformaron un polvoriento campo de naranjos en uno de los destinos más queridos del mundo. En la actualidad hay parques Disney en todo el mundo, desde París hasta Shanghái, pero el original en Anaheim, California, visitado hasta la fecha por más de 800 millones de personas, sigue siendo una de las atracciones turísticas más populares de Estados Unidos. Desde el día de su inauguración, el 17 de julio de 1955, Disneyland hizo historia dando vida a los cuentos de hadas. Trajo el futuro al presente y nos acercó a culturas remotas e incluso a galaxias muy lejanas. Esta historia visual se sirve de las extensas colecciones históricas de Disney, de archivos privados y de la era dorada del fotoperiodismo para proporcionar un acceso único al concepto, desarrollo, lanzamiento y disfrute de este oasis de diversión y fantasía bañado por el sol. Disneyland incluye documentación sobre las primeras inspiraciones e ideas de Walt para el parque, los extraordinarios logros en cuanto a diseño e ingeniería y todas sus áreas temáticas de Main Street U.S.A. a Tomorrowland. Se trata de un valioso tesoro compuesto por documentación original de Disney y la colaboración del galardonado escritor Chris Nichols, que aporta su extenso conocimiento sobre Disneyland y la historia del sur de California para desvelar el fascinante relato del ''lugar más feliz de la Tierra''.Copyright © 2024 Disney Enterprises, Inc.

SENSATIONAL WINNERS OF THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZEIn the tempestuous summer of 2005, a local veterinarian becomes enraptured by a 14-year-old farmer's daughter - his 'favourite' - as he tends her father's cows. This deeply troubled soul is our narrator: a man who believes he offers the object of his love a tantalizing path out of the constrictions of her conservative rural life, a chance to escape to a world of fantasy. But the obsessive reliance he cultivates builds into a terrifying trap, with a crime and confession at the heart of it that threatens to rip their small community apart.An unflinching excavation of taboos and social norms, My Heavenly Favourite is a torrent of grief and obsession. The remarkable and chilling successor to Lucas Rijneveld's international sensation, The Discomfort of Evening, this profane novel is powered by the paradoxical beauty of its prose, which holds the reader fast to the page.
