Nuevo volumen de la colección de catálogos razonados del Museo del Prado, tras El Greco, Pintura holandesa, Las miniaturas en el Museo del Prado y Luca Giordano. Este catálogo estudia las pinturas realizadas en los Países Bajos durante el siglo XV que custodia el Museo del Prado, incluyendo las de artistas activos en el XVI pero vinculados con el quehacer del siglo anterior. Se trata de un momento trascendente para la cultura artística occidental, que alumbra la obra de creadores revolucionarios, como Jan van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden o el Maestro de Flémalle, la de los maestros que siguieron su estela, como Dirk Bouts, Hans Memling o Hugo van der Goes, y la de otros autores de menos fama pero de producción igualmente notable. La pintura flamenca temprana es célebre no solo por su delicadeza técnica e intensidad narrativa, sino por la dificultad que entraña interpretar los asuntos representados. Además, la ausencia de documentación cierta sobre sus creadores, de muchos de los cuales se ignora hasta su identidad, y la escasez de datos sobre las propias obras, hacen que su estudio sea uno de los más complejos pero también más atractivos de la historia del arte. Esta publicación actualiza el conocimiento de esas obras y sus autores en el Museo. Se catalogan creaciones individuales, trípticos completos o escenas fragmentarias de unos veinte artistas, de quienes se ofrece una sucinta biografía con sus obras seguras y clave para atribuir las que se examinan, sean estas autógrafas, de taller o de seguidores. A los datos y el análisis histórico y artístico de cada una se añade un exhaustivo estudio técnico, fundamental para precisar conclusiones, incluyendo la revisión de atribuciones tradicionales y la propuesta de la más certera autoría para pinturas que hasta hoy se tenían por anónimas. Su autor, José Juan Pérez Preciado, técnico del Museo en el Área de Pintura Flamenca y Escuelas del Norte, ha llevado a cabo este trabajo en colaboración con el Gabinete Técnico y Laboratorio del Museo y con la asesoría científica de Lorne Campbell, reconocido experto en la pintura de los Países Bajos, que escribe la introducción sobre el temprano interés que esas bellas creaciones despertaron en España.

Primera entrega de las historias de Andrés Rivarola, un muchacho que quiere buscarse la vida -y escribir tangos- en la Buenos Aires de los años 30 Todo por la patria es la primera de las historias de Andrés Rivarola, un muchacho que se busca la vida como puede en la Buenos Aires de los años 30. En esos días agitados, míticos, el Pibe Rivarola se ve envuelto en el misterio de la desaparición -muy real- de Bernabé Ferreyra, el futbolista más famoso del momento. Lo cual lo lleva a mezclarse con dirigentes futboleros, mafiosos con prosapia, comisarios turbios, estancieros y traficantes, un par de monjas, Jorge Luis Borges y el diario Crítica, donde, inútil para cualquier oficio serio, termina trabajando. En medio de esas intrigas, Rivarola se topa con una conspiración muy elegante de la extrema derecha y, entre la Recoleta y el Hipódromo, intenta desarmarla. Y, mientras tanto, trata de escribir sus tanguitos para contar la mishiadura, las injusticias, el pan duro. Su historia es, al fin y al cabo, un recorrido por esa ciudad inmigrante y ambiciosa que ya empezaba su interminable crisis -y que todavía no tenía Obelisco.

¿Qué es un meme? ¿Cómo funciona y cuál es su verdadero impacto en las redes sociales? Estas son algunas de las preguntas que Bradley E. Wiggins se propone responder en El poder de los memes, donde analiza el modo en que este nuevo género de comunicación en línea se produce, difunde y viraliza. Entre el humor, la cultura pop, la crítica política e incluso el arte, los distintos estudios de caso revelan que los memes no solo aportan un nuevo sentido con cada remezcla, sino que además imponen una práctica discursiva que construye espacios de identidad. De esta manera, la ideología, la semiótica y la intertextualidad se conjugan en el análisis de Wiggins para abordar estos artefactos de la cultura digital participativa que integran nuestra vida cotidiana y la resignifican como un lenguaje en permanente mutación.

The Use of Photography recounts a passionate love affair between Annie Ernaux and the journalist and author Marc Marie, after the two met in January 2003. Ernaux had been receiving intensive chemo for breast cancer during the prior three months, and had lost all her hair from the treatments. At the end of January she had surgery, followed by radiation therapy. The affair took place in different locations and Ernaux describes how, shortly after it began, she found herself entranced each morning by the sight of clothes strewn about, chairs out of place and the remains of their last meal of the evening still on the table – and how painful it felt to put things back in order afterwards. She went and got her camera, and began to take photographs of the scenes of disarray. When she told Marc Marie what she had done, he said he had felt the same desire. Translated by Alison L. Strayer into English for the first time, The Use of Photography is an extraordinary meditation on eroticism, photography and writing, a major work by the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate.

Facebook had a problem. Along with its sister platforms Instagram and WhatsApp, it was a daily destination for billions of users around the world, extolling its products for connecting people. But as a succession of scandals rocked Facebook from 2016, some began to question whether the company could control, or even understood, its own platforms.As Facebook employees searched for answers, what they uncovered was worse than they could've imagined. The problems ran far deeper than politics. Facebook was peddling and amplifying anger, looking the other way at human trafficking, enabling drug cartels and authoritarians and allowing VIP users to break the platform's supposedly inviolable rules.It turned out to be eminently possible to isolate many of Facebook's worst problems, but whenever employees offered solutions their work was consistently delayed, watered down or stifled by a company that valued user engagement above all else. The only option left was to blow the whistle.In Broken Code, award-winning Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz tells the riveting inside story of these employees and their explosive discoveries, uncovering the shocking cost of Facebook's blind ambition in the process.

Does terroir really matter? What are the origins of wine and food pairings? Has professional wine tasting led to a uniformity of taste? Are we killing vines by the way we cultivate them? Is it paradoxical to talk about natural wines? How do economics influence wine styles?One Thousand Vines isn't an encyclopedia or atlas but it answers all the important questions about wine and offers the reader keys to understand the links between the bottle and the producers, terroirs and vineyards which give birth to it. With a refreshingly unique approach, star sommelier Pascaline Lepeltier offers those curious about wine not only the answers but also the tools to understand it by oneself.The book contains three parts - Reading the Vines, Reading the Landscapes and Reading the Wines - each broken down into chapters and shorter sub-chapters. The reader is invited to dive in as they by reading from start to finish, or by picking out topics of interest, creating their own paths, connecting dots and discovering new perspectives.In imparting the most up-to-date knowledge in the fields of botany, geography, history, sensory analysis, anthropology and gastronomy, One Thousand Vines challenges preconceived ideas about the vine and its wine. It explains where we are now, how we got here, and shows us a way forward - in how grapes will be grown, made into wine and sold and in how to taste and enjoy wine.

From the moment he interviewed Yoko Ono on his late night radio show in September 1971, Elliot Mintz’s life would never the same again. That phone call would lead him to an intense and revealing friendship with Yoko and her husband, John Lennon, until John’s untimely death in 1980, and beyond, to the present day.In 1971, then the talk host on American airwaves, Elliot Mintz was talking to all of the major figures in the burgeoning West Coast music scene when he was asked whether he would interview Yoko about her new album. Their talk quickly lead to other private calls and then to John Lennon, with whom he quickly formed a firm bond. Those conversations became hours-long epics, to the extent that Elliot had another phone line put in, for which only two people had the number - John and Yoko.The aftermath of The Beatles’ breakup ushered in a tumultuous decade. Elliot witnessed it, or heard all about it, at close hand including the unbearable cost of such fame when John and Yoko separated for what became known as his ‘lost weekend’. There was joy when their son Sean was born and the creative rebirth that was the multi-platinum selling triumph, Double Fantasy. But then there was unimaginable tragedy too when John was brutally murdered in December 1980.

Un viaje por el espacio impulsado por la curiosidad Al levantar la vista hacia la bóveda del cielo nocturno, no solo vemos estrellas titilando en constelaciones y planetas atrapados en plena órbita, sino también nuestro árbol genealógico cósmico. Estamos aquí, en la Tierra, porque hace miles de millones de años el Big Bang originó átomos que, a lo largo de un período de tiempo inimaginable, formó las estrellas y las galaxias. Generaciones de estrellas que se han quemado, estallado o chocado mucho antes de que nuestro planeta se formara crearon el carbono de nuestro cuerpo y el hierro de nuestra sangre. En Los enigmas del universo, la doctora en astrofísica Jillian Scudder guía al lector en un viaje por el espacio impulsado por la curiosidad, retrocediendo en el tiempo desde la Tierra actual hasta las explosiones cósmicas del Big Bang, y pasando por estrellas y galaxias. Scudder aborda pregunta tras pregunta, de este rompecabezas astronómico, respondiéndolas y explicando interrogantes como: «¿De qué color es el universo?», «¿Todos los planetas giran de la misma manera?» y «¿Cuántas galaxias existen?» De paso plantea una serie de conjeturas, por ejemplo: «¿Qué pasaría si partiésemos el Sol por la mitad?» y «¿Qué ocurre con la dilatación del tiempo a la velocidad de la luz?». Comenta detalles sobre los meteoros, la aurora y la Luna (la compañera cósmica de la Tierra), las rayas de Júpiter y las montañas de Plutón, las enanas rojas, las enanas marrones y las enanas blancas, la muerte de las estrellas y la abundancia de las galaxias, y muchas cosas más. Una colección de imágenes de colores vivos ilustran estas maravillas astrofísicas.

A cadascun hi descobrim una cara diferent de l’aleshores capital de l’Imperi Rus.Els Relats de Sant Petersburg són la introducció perfecta a Nikolai Gógol, un dels autors més destacats en llengua russa. Pioner del grotesc i amb un estil que combina sàtira, realisme i fantasia, ha inspirat autors posteriors com Fiódor Dostoievski, Anton Txékhov o Vladimir Nabokov. En aquest recull, crea un mosaic literari que captura la complexitat de la vida urbana i les relacions humanes a Sant Petersburg.
