Todo lo que los filósofos griegos pensaron hace mucho tiempo para mejorar tu vida ahora mismo¿Qué le diría Epicuro a Elon Musk? ¿Y Diógenes a una celebrity de Instagram? Es más, ¿qué te dirían los viejos filósofos a ti? Sí, a ti. Eres más griego de lo que piensas, todo lo que te pasa les pasó antes a ellos, tus problemas son los mismos y sus recetas para la vida siguen estando vigentes, pero desgraciadamente las hemos olvidado o malinterpretado. Es hora de volver a ellos. El escritor y aventurero Fabián C. Barrio ha recorrido el mundo en busca de respuestas y las ha encontrado en los filósofos de hace tres mil años, cuyo pensamiento logró modelar quienes somos hoy. Sus enseñanzas son la base de este libro ameno, socarrón e iconoclasta que quiere subsanar «la duda más roedora a la que se enfrenta el primate moderno: ¿cómo coño consigo estar bien?». La clave está en las cuatro escuelas principales del pensamiento griego: el estoicismo, el epicureísmo, el escepticismo y el cinismo. Ellos nos enseñaron a controlar los placeres, a lidiar con el deseo, a sobrellevar los miedos y a cultivar la belleza. Estos «griegos apolillados» tienen mucho que decir al hombre moderno, y a nosotros sólo no toca aprender a releer conceptos como ataraxia, eudaimonía y epoché. Usted se encuentra aquí es un divertido e irreverente viaje al pasado para traer al presente, a nuestras aceleradas vidas del siglo xxi, la filosofía que lleva siglos ayudándonos a vivir mejor. Nadie como Fabián C. Barrio para que sus lecciones nos lleguen tan frescas como si hubiesen sido pensadas expresamente para ti.

En el año del 85 aniversario de la creación de Batman os presentamos Batman: Cronología, uno de los proyectos más ambiciosos y especiales que se han publicado hasta la fecha. En esta colección de ocho entregas quincenales en tapa dura podréis disfrutar de los mejores cómics del Hombre Murciélago, desde 1980 a 2019, en riguroso orden cronológico y de forma íntegra. Un material imprescindible, acompañado de ilustraciones y artículos que contextualizan cada historia y explican con todo detalle la historia del personaje, delante y detrás de la mesa de dibujo. ¡Las historias clave que han convertido a Batman en el icono más universal del noveno arte! Al dejar atrás el ecuador de la década de los ochenta nada volvería a ser lo mismo para el Caballero Oscuro. Crisis en Tierras Infinitas fue la base que permitió renovar su origen, al igual que el de numerosos personajes principales de DC. Y así, en 1987, se publicó la versión de este que muchos autores y lectores -como su editor, Dennis O’Neil- considerarían definitiva. Batman: Año uno, de Miller y Mazzucchelli, es ese clásico inapelable coprotagonizado por Jim Gordon, al que sigue el también revisado origen de Jason Todd como Robin. Junto a La broma asesina, de Moore y Bolland, Una muerte en la familia, de Starlin y Aparo, o Asilo Arkham, de Morrison y McKean, son relatos de tal magnitud que aquí no hay ni una página que no sea clave en la historia del Hombre Murciélago... Pero, por si faltase alguna, el tomo incluye textos creados expresamente para esta edición que detallan la trayectoria de Batman entre bastidores y explican muchos de sus sorprendentes cambios a través de los años.

(It really is a shame he's so attractive).After the evening is over, Reginald admits to Amelia that he's a vampire, which doesn't frighten her the way he expects it will.

But there's a fine line between love and hate, and the last thing either of them expects is there might be a growing spark between them...

¿Por qué dependemos de la naturaleza y cómo nos beneficiamos de ella?«Quienes hayan leído hasta aquí podrán acusarme, no sin motivo, de haber hecho trampas en mi argumentación: ''Usted nos dice, por un lado, que demos gracias a los microbios, y por otro que afortunadamente hongos y malas hierbas han inventado los remedios para matarlos, también que necesitamos a los insectos, pero a la vez que agradezcamos que los murciélagos se los coman. ¿En qué quedamos? ¿O acaso existen microbios e insectos, biodiversidad, en definitiva, buena y mala, y deberíamos cuidar la una y erradicar la otra?''. Entiendo su perplejidad. (...) Pero la importancia de la vida de la que formamos parte no se puede parcelar, ya que en esencia es un enorme conjunto de pesos y contrapesos relacionados, que como resultado mantienen la biosfera en un equilibrio dinámico idóneo para nuestra especie (y las otras).»Del prólogo, Miguel Delibes de Castro

‘Sharing food is one of the purest human acts'Food has always been an integral part of Stanley Tucci’s life: from stracciatella soup served in the shadow of the Pantheon, to marinara sauce cooked between rehearsals and costume fittings, to home-made pizza eaten with his children before bedtime.Now, in What I Ate in One Year Tucci records twelve months of eating, in restaurants, kitchens, film sets, press junkets, at home and abroad, with friends, with family, with strangers, and occasionally just by himself.Ranging from the mouth-wateringly memorable, to the comfortingly domestic, to the infuriatingly inedible, the meals memorialized in this diary are a prism through which he reflects on the ways his life, and his family, are constantly evolving. Through food he marks – and mourns – the passing of time, the loss of loved ones, and prepares himself for what is to come.Whether it’s duck à l’orange eaten with fellow actors and cooked by singing Carmelite nuns, steaks barbecued at a gathering with friends, or meatballs made by his mother and son and shared at the table with three generations of his family, these meals give shape and richness to his days.

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.
