Mucho antes de que se empleara con fines adivinatorios, el tarot se utilizaba como juego y como medio para profundizar en el autoconocimiento. Inspirada en los arquetipos junguianos, el trabajo onírico y la filosofía esotérica, Nina Bunjevac ''reconocida artista cuya obra se expone ahora mismo en el Pompidou, en el «quién es quién» de la novela gráfica que ocupa casi todas sus salas desde la primavera de 2024'' recupera la simbología original del tarot y nos brinda un conjunto de herramientas que pueden ayudar a desgranar el significado arquetípico de los arcanos mayores, descubrir nuestra esencia y reflexionar sobre el presente. Las llamativas composiciones de Bunjevac, que destacan por el trazo grueso y los ricos detalles dorados, dan un nuevo significado a las escenas clásicas de estas cartas del triunfo y nos ofrecen una versión revitalizada de la tradicional baraja Rider-Waite. Presentada en un estuche compuesto por veintidós cartas y una guía espiritual de cada una de ellas, esta baraja es también una exquisita obra de arte.

'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.

Roma y sus legiones no siempre fueron victoriosas e invencibles. Los diversos pueblos con los que se toparon presentaron en muchos casos una fuerte resistencia a desaparecer dentro del mundo romano. Algunos de estos pueblos fueron alabados por los propios romanos, quienes les respetaban y, en gran medida, contaron su historia y a sus líderes más destacados. En este libro nos acercamos a alguno de estos pueblos desde el punto de vista militar. Abarcando un periodo largo desde los inicios del siglo III a. C. hasta el siglo V d.C. Y en escenarios tan distantes como las brumas de Britania, Hispania, la Galia o Germania, al soleado sur de Italia, el Ponto Euxino o las planicies de Oriente Medio, el libro logra capturar al lector e ilustrarle en un tono ameno, sin renunciar al nivel y rigor que el estudio de la Historia exige.

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.”

A hundred and fifty years of conflict. What does that do to a person’s soul, to the spirit of a nation? To both the occupied and the occupier?International Booker Prize-winning Israeli novelist David Grossman has spent decades campaigning for peace in Israel and Palestine. But after October 7th 2023, a day marking the biggest loss of Jewish life in this century, he retreated inwards to ask himself difficult and necessary questions about his beloved nation:How could this massacre have happened?How could the Netanyahu government, tangled in its web of scandals, fail to protect its citizens?And did October 7 and the war that followed take with it their last hope of a two-state solution?In eleven essays David Grossman traces the years leading up to that day and the ensuing war through a string of failures by a morally bankrupt party clinging to power. He documents the struggle being fought on both sides between those committed to conflict, and the many who simply want to live in peace.Ultimately, Grossman arrives at the most important question of all: Will there ever be a lasting peace in the region?
