José Luis Sastre es una de las voces más relevantes del periodismo actual, y su talento como cronista y articulista se ha trasladado ahora a su primera novela. Las frases robadas es un relato emotivo y feliz sobre la memoria, la dignidad y la muerte que explica cómo una hija puede conocer a su padre a partir de las lecturas que leyó y subrayó. Es, sobre todo, un desprejuiciado canto a la vida.Mi padre me ha pedido que, por mucho que el mundo se desplome en esta habitación, sea siempre verano, y yo quiero darle un verano invencible. Esta es la historia de un padre y de una hija que, después de una vida juntos, empiezan a conocerse de verdad. Él está por morirse y ella quiere darle un final que esté a su altura, hasta el momento en que el padre pide lo que su hija no sabe si podrá darle.Esta crónica sobre una despedida es, en realidad, un relato irónico sobre la aspiración de una vida que merece la pena vivir y una reivindicación del presente frente a los riesgos de la nostalgia. Aunque, por encima de todo lo demás, lo que aquí se narra es la importancia imbatible de los libros, del mar y del vínculo íntimo entre un padre y su hija.

A world filled with unrest wrestles for control over this new world order: A mother’s husband is killed in a work accident due to negligence, a young woman fights to fund her school for impoverished children, a well-intentioned young man unexpectedly inherits a failing business, one man ruthlessly protects his wealth no matter the cost, all the while war cries are heard from France, as Napoleon sets forth a violent master plan to become emperor of the world. As institutions are challenged and toppled in unprecedented fashion, ripples of change ricochet through our characters’ lives as they are left to reckon with the future and a world they must rebuild from the ashes of war.

La inspiración suele entenderse como la presencia de un influjo extraordinario en la creación artística, como un elemento misterioso directamente vinculado al carácter perdurable de la obra tocada por este hálito trascendente. Además, la capacidad de la música de ahondar en este ámbito elevado, asociado a la divinidad, impulsa la obra artística a la categoría de revelación: ya era esta la intención última de los aedos de la antigüedad, y quizás también la ha sido para grandes compositores que, como Bach, Beethoven o Brahms, escribían conscientes de tocar con su arte los resortes de la intimidad humana y vigorizarlos. Como decía George Steiner, la música es la teología de los que no tienen ningún credo formal. En este ensayo, el musicólogo y cantante Josep Maria Gregori reflexiona sobre la relación íntima de la música con la inspiración, la sacralidad y el pensamiento simbólico. Y lo hace sumergiéndose en la experiencia trascendente de la creación de algunos grandes compositores, transmisores del vínculo que une el mundo humano y el arquetipal. Estudia el relato platónico de la armonía de las esferas y analiza su aplicación a los mitos de las sirenas y las musas. Por último, se adentra en la figura de Orfeo y en la obra que Striggio y Monteverdi le dedicaron, y propone un análisis afinado de este hito musical que conjuga sonido, número y palabra como expresiones de un único verbo.

'Michael Sheridan is one of the best informed and wisest writers on China' - Chris Patten, last governor of Hong KongThe Red Emperor presents an eye-opening portrait of Xi Jinping, the man who presides over 1.4 billion people and the second largest economy on earth. Born a 'princeling' to one of Communist China's ruling families, the young Xi was exiled to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution. He fought his way back to the top by stealth, privilege and guile. In 2012, following the spectacular fall of his rival Bo Xilai, Xi Jinping became the leader of China.In a compulsively readable narrative, veteran foreign correspondent Michael Sheridan takes the reader from the poor, isolated country of Xi's youth to the military and economic superpower of today. In Xi's new China, family mafias struggle for power amid murder, corruption and sex scandals as ministers and generals vanish in purges. No one is safe in his techno-security state. Xi is an absolute ruler whose word is law on everything from war and peace to the ruthless campaign against Covid-19. He aims to dominate world trade, to defeat Western democracy and to make China the supreme power in the East. A loner and a risk-taker, he is the most consequential leader of our time.Drawing on intimate stories from the closed world of China's leading families and two decades of first-hand reporting, Michael Sheridan sheds new light on the history and politics of China. The book reveals that behind the façade of the Chinese Communist Party there is a modern dynasty and a new emperor.

Mark Haddon weaves ancient fables into fresh and unexpected forms, and forges new legends to sit alongside them. The myth of the Minotaur in his labyrinth is turned into a wrenching parable of maternal love – and of the monstrosities of patriarchy. The lover of a goddess, Tithonus, is gifted eternal life but without eternal youth. Actaeon, changed into a stag after glimpsing the naked Diana and torn to pieces by his hunting dogs, becomes a visceral metaphor about how humans use and misuse animals.

A diabolical collection of stories featuring achingly human characters whose lives intertwine with ghosts, goblins, and the macabre, by “one of Latin America’s most exciting authors” (Silvia Moreno-Garcia)On the shores of this river, all the birds that fly, drink, perch on branches, and disturb siestas with the demonic squawking of the possessed—all those birds were once women.Welcome to Argentina and the fascinating, frightening, fantastical imagination of Mariana Enriquez. In twelve spellbinding new stories, Enriquez writes about ordinary people, especially women, whose lives turn inside out when they encounter terror, the surreal, and the supernatural. A neighborhood nuisanced by ghosts, a family whose faces melt away, a faded hotel haunted by a girl who dissolved in the water tank on the roof, a riverbank populated by birds that used to be women—these and other tales illuminate the shadows of contemporary life, where the line between good and evil no longer exists.Lyrical and hypnotic, heart-stopping and deeply moving, Enriquez’s stories never fail to enthrall, entertain, and leave us shaken. Translated by the award-winning Megan McDowell, A Sunny Place for Shady People showcases Enriquez’s unique blend of the literary and the horrific, and underscores why Kazuo Ishiguro, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, calls her “the most exciting discovery I’ve made in fiction for some time.”

La inspiració se sol entendre com la presència d'un influx extraordinari en la creació artística, com un element misteriós directament vinculat al caràcter perdurable de l'obra tocada per aquest alè transcendent. A més, la capacitat de la música d'endinsar-se en aquest àmbit elevat, lligat a la divinitat, impulsa l'obra artística a la categoria de revelació: ja era aquesta la intenció última dels aedes de l'antiguitat, i potser també l'ha siguda per grans compositors que, com Bach, Beethoven o Brahms, escrivien conscients de tocar amb el seu art els ressorts de la intimitat humana i envigorir-los. Com deia George Steiner, la música és la teologia dels que no tenen cap credo formal. En aquest assaig docte i clar, el musicòleg i cantant Josep Maria Gregori reflexiona sobre el lligam íntim de la música amb la inspiració, la sacralitat i el pensament simbòlic. I ho fa endinsant-se en l'experiència transcendent de la creació d'alguns grans compositors, transmissors del vincle que uneix el món humà amb el món arquetipal. L'autor estudia el relat platònic de l'harmonia de les esferes i n'analitza l'aplicació als mites de les sirenes i les Muses, inspiradores dels grans relats d'Occident. Per últim, s'endinsa en la figura d'Orfeu i en l'obra que Striggio i Monteverdi van dedicar-li, i proposa una anàlisi afinada d'aquesta fita musical que conjuga so, número i paraula com a expressions d'un únic verb.
