‘In the beginning was the Word,’ says the Gospel of John. This sentence – and the words of all four gospels – is central to the teachings of the Christian church and has shaped Western art, literature and language, and the Western mind.Yet in the years after the death of Christ there was not merely one word, nor any consensus as to who Jesus was or why he had mattered. There were many different Jesuses, among them the aggressive Jesus who scorned his parents and crippled those who opposed him, the Jesus who sold his twin into slavery and the Jesus who had someone crucified in his stead.Moreover, in the early years of the first millennium there were many other saviours, many sons of gods who healed the sick and cured the lame. But as Christianity spread, they were pronounced unacceptable – even heretical – and they faded from view.Now, in Heresy, Catherine Nixey tells their extraordinary story, one of contingency, chance and plurality. It is a story about what might have been.

Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) fue un biólogo, naturalista, evolucionista, artista, filósofo y doctor alemán, que dedicó su vida a la investigación de la flora y la fauna tanto de las cimas de las montañas más altas como de los océanos más profundos. Como ferviente partidario y estudioso de las teorías de la evolución de Darwin, denunció el dogma religioso, escribió tratados filosóficos, obtuvo un doctorado en zoología y acuñó términos científicos, ahora de uso común, como ecología, filo y célula madre.El inmenso legado de Haeckel ha fascinado, desconcertado y polarizado a varias generaciones. Pero ¿cuál era la esencia de la extraordinaria labor de su vida? Al igual que su predecesor intelectual, Alexander von Humboldt, Haeckel no sólo buscaba descubrimientos nuevos sino también explicaciones. Para lograr su objetivo, realizó cientos de dibujos, acuarelas y bosquejos detallados de sus hallazgos que publicó durante el siglo XX en una serie de volúmenes entre los que destacan diversas recopilaciones de organismos marinos y la majestuosa obra Kunstformen der Natur (Formas artísticas en la naturaleza), que bien podría ser el cimiento del proyecto de toda su vida.Como una meticulosa enciclopedia visual de seres vivos, la obra de Haeckel destaca tanto por su precisión gráfica y su detallado sombreado como por su comprensión de la evolución orgánica. De murciélagos a cubozoos, de lagartijas a líquenes, pasando por patas de araña o anémonas marinas, hizo especial hincapié en las simetrías básicas y el orden natural descubriendo belleza biológica incluso en las criaturas más insospechadas. Las láminas, además de suponer un avance en el estudio de la historia natural, ejercieron una influencia en varias generaciones de artistas y arquitectos del siglo XX, desde defensores del modernismo a arquitectos como Hendrik Petrus Berlage.Este libro rinde homenaje a la importancia científica, artística y medioambiental de la obra de Haeckel con una colección de láminas extraídas de varios de sus tomos más importantes sobre biología marina, incluidos Die Radiolarien, Monographie der Medusen, Die Kalkschwämme y Kunstformen der Natur. En un momento en el que la biodiversidad está cada vez más amenazada por las actividades humanas, este volumen es, al mismo tiempo, una obra maestra visual, una exploración submarina y un vívido recordatorio de la hermosa diversidad de la vida.Sobre la serie¡TASCHEN ya tiene 40 años!

In a village in a medieval fiefdom buffeted by natural disasters, a motherless shepherd boy finds himself the unlikely pivot in a power struggle that puts all manner of faith to a savage test, in a spellbinding novel that represents Ottessa Moshfegh's most exciting leap yet. Little Marek, the abused and delusional son of the village shepherd, never knew his mother, his father told him she died in childbirth. One of life's few consolations for Marek is his enduring bond with the blind village midwife, Ina, who suckled him when he was a baby, as she did for many of the village's children.Ina's gifts extend beyond childcare: she possesses a unique ability to communicate with the natural world. Her gift often brings her the transmission of sacred knowledge on levels far beyond those available to other villagers, however religious they might be. For some people, Ina's home in the woods outside the village is a place to fear and to avoid, a godless place.Among their number is Father Barnabas, the town priest and lackey for the depraved lord and governor, Villiam, whose hilltop manor contains a secret embarrassment of riches. The people's desperate need to believe that there are powers that be who have their best interests at heart is put to a cruel test by Villiam and the priest, especially in this year of record drought and famine.But when fate brings Marek into violent proximity to the lord's family, new and occult forces upset the old order. By year's end, the veil between blindness and sight, life and death, the natural world and the spirit world will prove to be very thin indeed.

The greatest test of all, however, may be resisting her forbidden attraction to Bjorn. If Freya succumbs to her lust for the charming and fierce warrior, she risks not only her own destiny but the fate of all the people she swore to protect.
