Teresa, cuarenta y siete años, profesora de inglés, ni lista ni tonta, ni guapa ni fea, fumadora (mucho), bebedora de café, vive en casa de sus padres en una ciudad de provincias y va en bicicleta a todas partes. La madre de Teresa es una mujer agobiante, hipócrita, cateta, estirada y ridícula, un ser invasivo que se arroga estar a cargo de todo en este mundo, incluso del padre de Teresa, que nadie sabe si tiene alzhéimer o se lo hace. Teresa no conoce el amor, no lo ha conocido nunca, pero cree saber lo que significa ser amada sin que te desangren. Lo podrá comprobar, tras un elaborado conjunto de peripecias -resumen de las miserias y virtudes de la vida en ciudad-, cuando decida enamorarse voluntariamente de Alessandro, exalumno, guapo y estúpido, incapaz de todo y hasta de aprovechar el viento cuando sopla a favor, escoria del sistema educativo y del sistema familiar. Teresa vive en una familia perfectamente tóxica, Alessandro en una familia imperfectamente tóxica. Cada uno por su lado, contarán sus taras y sus ambiciones hasta que al final ni unas ni otras tengan cabida en dos personajes que las confunden y a las que, miserables o ambiciosos, se atan sin saber lo difícil que será deshacer el nudo.

Teorema es la inexorable descripción de la conducta y de los conflictos de una familia burguesa en un momento de crisis y, al mismo tiempo, una parábola acerca de la irrupción de lo religioso en el orden familiar y de sus demoledoras consecuencias, que se desatan a partir de la visita de un enigmático joven. Este establecerá una irresistible conexión sexual e intelectual con todos los componentes de la familia, a través de la cual cada uno de ellos tomará conciencia de su más íntima naturaleza. Provocador y profético como su autor, Teorema marca un punto de inflexión en la obra de Pasolini y configura esa visión fuertemente sagrada y simbólica de la realidad que el intelectual italiano desarrolló en la última etapa de su vida.

The first and only Estate-authorized biography of the legendary artist, Tupac Shakur, a moving exploration of his life and powerful legacy, fully illustrated with photos, mementos, handwritten poetry, musings, and more.Artist, Poet, Actor, Revolutionary, Legend- Tupac ShakurTupac Shakur is one of the greatest and most controversial artists of all time. More than a quarter of a century after his tragic death in 1996 at the age of just twenty-five, he continues to be one of the most misunderstood, complicated and prolific figures in modern history. Tupac’s unapologetic lyrics, for which he was villainized by many at the time, read in these pages as prophecy. His cry of outrage in a country that repeatedly told Black men and women that their lives did not matter, continues to inspire his fans around the world. In Tupac Shakur , author and screenwriter Staci Robinson—who knew Tupac as a young man and who was entrusted by his mother, Afeni Shakur, to write his biography—peels back the myths and unpacks the complexities that have shadowed Tupac’s existence. With exclusive access to his private notebooks, letters, unpublished lyrics and uncensored conversations with those who knew and loved him best, Robinson tells a powerful story of a life defined by politics and art, and a man driven by equal parts brilliance and impulsiveness.It is a story of a mother and son bound together by a love for each other and for their people, and the relationship that endured through their darkest times. It is a political story that begins in the whirlwind of the 60’s Civil Rights Movement, and takes you through a young artist's awakening to rage and purpose in the nineties era of Rodney King. It is a story of dizzying success and its devastating consequences. And, of course, it is the story of his music, his timeless message that will never die as it continues to touch and inspire past, present and future generations.

From historian and author of the popular daily newsletter LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN, a vital narrative that explains how America, once a beacon of democracy, now teeters on the brink of autocracy -- and how we can turn back.In the midst of the impeachment crisis of 2019, Heather Cox Richardson launched a daily Facebook essay providing the historical background of the daily torrent of news. The essays soon turned into a newsletter and, spread by word of mouth, its readership ballooned to more than 2 million dedicated readers who rely on its plainspoken and informed take on the present and past in America. In Democracy Awakening, Richardson crafts a compelling and original narrative, explaining how, over the decades, a small group of wealthy people have made war on American ideals. By weaponizing language and promoting false history they have led us into authoritarianism -- creating a disaffected population and then promising to recreate an imagined past where those people could feel important again. She argues that taking our country back starts by remembering the elements of the nation’s true history that marginalized Americans have always upheld. Their dedication to the principles on which this nation was founded has enabled us to renew and expand our commitment to democracy in the past. Richardson sees this history as a roadmap for the nation’s future.Richardson’s unique talent is to wrangle our giant, meandering, confusing news feed into a coherent story that singles out what we should pay attention to, what the historical roots and precedents are, and what possible paths lie ahead. Writing in her trademark calm prose, she manages to be both realistic and optimistic about the future of democracy. Richardson’s easy command of history allows her to pivot effortlessly from the Founders to the abolitionists to Reconstruction to Goldwater to Mitch McConnell, highlighting the political legacies of the New Deal, the lingering fears of socialism, the death of the liberal consensus and birth of “movement conservatism.”There are many books that tell us what has happened over the last five years. Democracy Awakening explains how we got to this perilous point, what our history really tells us about ourselves, and what the future of democracy can be.

A wild, sweeping novel that imagines an alternate secret history of Korea and the traces it leaves on the present—loaded with assassins and mad poets, RPGs and slasher films, pop bands and the perils of social media.March, 1919. Far-flung Korean patriots establish the Korean Provisional Government to protest the Japanese occupation of their country. This government-in-exile proves mostly symbolic, though, and after Japan’s defeat in World War II, the KPG dissolves and civil war erupts, resulting in the North-South split that remains today.But what if the KPG still existed now, today—working toward a unified Korea, secretly harnessing the might of a giant tech company to further its aims? That’s the outrageous premise of Same Bed Different Dreams, which weaves together three distinct narrative voices and an archive of mysterious images and twists reality like a kaleidoscope, spinning Korean history, American pop culture, and our tech-fraught lives into an extraordinary and unforgettable novel.Early on we meet Soon Sheen, who works at the sprawling international technology company GLOAT, and comes into possession of an unfinished book authored by the KPG. The manuscript is a mysterious, revisionist history, tying famous names and obscure bit players to the KPG’s grand project. This strange manuscript links together figures from architect-poet Yi Sang to Jack London to Marilyn Monroe. M*A*S*H is in here, too, and the Moonies, and a history of violence extending from the assassination of President McKinley to the Soviet downing of Korean Air Lines Flight 007.Just as foreign countries have imposed their desires on Korea, so too has Park tucked different dreamers into this sprawling bed of a novel. Among them: Parker Jotter, Korean War vet and appliance-store owner, who saw something--a UFO?--while flying over North Korea, Nora You, nail salon magnate, and Monk Zingapan, game designer turned writing guru. Their links are revealed over time, even as the dreamers remain in the dark as to their own interconnectedness. A thrilling feat of imagination and a step forward from an award-winning author, Same Bed Different Dreams begins as a comic novel and gradually pulls readers into another dimension—one in which utopia is possible.

A breathtaking debut about one unforgettable Southern Black family, seen through the eyes of its youngest daughter as she comes of age in the 1990s.So begins award-winning poet DéLana R. A. Dameron’s debut novel, Redwood Court. The baby of the family, Mika Tabor spends much of her time in the care of loved ones, listening to their stories and witnessing their struggles. On Redwood Court, the cul-de-sac in the all-Black working-class suburb of Columbia, South Carolina, where her grandparents live, Mika learns important lessons from the people who raise her: her exhausted parents, who work long hours at multiple jobs while still making sure their kids experience the adventure of family vacations, her older sister, who in a house filled with Motown would rather listen to Alanis Morrisette, her retired grandparents, children of Jim Crow, who realized their own vision of success when they bought their house on the Court in the 1960s, imagining it filled with future generations, and the many neighbors who hold tight to the community they’ve built, committed to fostering joy and love in an America so insistent on seeing Black people stumble and fall.With visceral clarity and powerful prose, Dameron reveals the devastation of being made to feel invisible and the transformative power of being seen. Redwood Court is a celebration of extraordinary, ordinary people striving to achieve their own American dreams.

Una reflexión sobre el papel de los instrumentos, hábitos y percepciones de nuestro mundo entendiéndonos como parte de todo el entresijo de relaciones e interdependencias«Nuestros objetos cuentan nuestras historias». Bajo esta premisa, Gabriela Hens propone una reflexión sobre el papel de los instrumentos, hábitos y percepciones de nuestro mundo circundante. A partir de tres objetos nos invita a repensar cómo los habitantes de la ciudad nos relacionamos con los animales, las plantas y el aire que respiramos, es decir, con todo lo que es más-que-humano. Estos elementos que ella selecciona se introducen a través de relatos personales que tienen que ver con lo cotidiano en su vida y su infancia, y nos asegura que podrían haber sido muchos otros, subrayando así la prevalencia del cómo miramos sobre el qué miramos. Lonchas, correas y tamagotchis es un texto que nos urge a mirar de otra manera los dispositivos que nos rodean y, a través de ellos, volver la mirada sobre nosotros mismos, entendiéndonos como parte de todo el entresijo de relaciones e interdependencias que llamamos naturaleza.

En La literatura del pueblo español, el llamado hispanista de hispanistas británico Gerald Brenan traza un recorrido libre de prejuicios, aunque no menos riguroso, apasionante y sincrético, por los hitos y mitos fundamentales de las letras españolas, desde la época romana hasta mediados del siglo XX. Sin ir más lejos, aborda, con una actualidad analítica apabullante, a los componentes de la Generación del 27, especialmente a su amado Federico García Lorca. Utilizando un estilo claro y erudito, el autor de Al sur de Granada, El laberinto español y La faz de España (en esta colección), no solo explora a retóricos romanos, poetas árabes o autores clásicos como Cervantes, Góngora, Galdós, Unamuno, Ortega y Valle-Inclán, sino que también ilumina el contexto histórico, social y cultural en el que surgieron sus obras, además de ofrecer atrevidas y sorprendentes comparaciones con escritores coetáneos europeos. Este análisis profundo y original abarca tanto la poesía, el teatro y la prosa, como las ideas que sustentaron y forjaron el carácter único de la literatura española a lo largo de los siglos, lo que coincidió con su formación como una de las naciones más poderosas de Europa. No es un libro académico, sino una lectura imprescindible, fresca y arriesgada, apta para cualquier lector interesado en la riqueza cultural e histórica de España. Gerald Brenan (1894-1987), autor de obras fundamentales para entender la España contemporánea, desde las penumbras rurales hasta el advenimiento de la democracia, como El laberinto español, La literatura del pueblo español, La faz de España y Al sur de Granada, es considerado el hispanista más reconocido por su caleidoscópico y original enfoque hacia nuestro país. Su vida, marcada por un espíritu erudito y bohemio, osciló precisamente entre dos mundos en contraste: la rígida y clasista Inglaterra de principios del siglo XX, de la que huyó tras combatir en la Primera Guerra Mundial, y su descubrimiento de España, en especial Andalucía, que se convertiría en su refugio y tierra de adopción. Este encuentro le permitió desarrollar una visión única sobre la cultura, historia y sociedad españolas.

As he sends her letters, extends countless invitations to travel, and even visits her husband's summer home in Mallorca, their unlikely relationship blossoms, though only on her terms.As the power struggle between them intensifies -- Is it Beatriz who limits their passion by controlling her emotions? Or is it Witold, trying to force into life his dream of love?

LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN’S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTIONONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES’ BEST BOOKS OF 2023ONE OF THE ECONOMIST‘S BEST BOOKS OF 2023ONE OF THE NEW YORKER‘S BEST BOOKS OF 2023ONE OF BARACK OBAMA’S BEST BOOKS OF 2023TIME MAGAZINE’S #1 NONFICTION BOOK OF THE YEARMy job is to go to places where people die. I pack my bags, talk to the survivors, write my stories, then go home to wait for the next catastrophe. I don’t wait very long.Journalist Patricia Evangelista came of age in the aftermath of a street revolution that forged a new future for the Philippines. Three decades later, in the face of mounting inequality, the nation discovered the fragility of its democratic institutions under the regime of strongman Rodrigo Duterte.Some People Need Killing is Evangelista’s meticulously reported and deeply human chronicle of the Philippines’ drug war. For six years, Evangelista chronicled the killings carried out by police and vigilantes in the name of Duterte’s war on drugs – a war that has led to the slaughter of thousands – immersing herself in the world of killers and survivors and capturing the atmosphere of fear created when an elected president decides that some lives are worth less than others.The book takes its title from a vigilante whose words seemed to reflect the psychological accommodation that most of the country had made: ‘I’m really not a bad guy,’ he said. ‘I’m not all bad. Some people need killing.’A profound act of witness and a tour de force of literary journalism, Some People Need Killing is also a brilliant dissection of the grammar of violence and an important investigation of the human impulses to dominate and resist.
