El primer libro de recetas de María Lo, ganadora de Masterchef En este libro no encontrarás recetas «sencillas, fáciles y rápidas, con menos de tres ingredientes» (alguna puede ser que sí), porque no es el objetivo. Tampoco encontrarás recetas para salir del paso en este mundo ajetreado y sin tiempo para nada. De esos, ya hay muchos. Lo que sí encontrarás en él son recetas que te alimenten el estómago y el alma, recetas que me definen como cocinera y como persona, recetas con historia, recetas que hablan de mí, reflexiones y recomendaciones con las que acercarte a mi cocina, a la cocina hecha con amor, donde el tiempo y el cuidado de cada ingrediente y proceso tienen un sentido. Y para mí ese sentido viene de dónde invierto mi tiempo, dónde lo empleo, siendo el tiempo lo más valioso que tengo en mi vida. No se me ocurre mejor manera de destinarlo que cocinando, ya sea para cuidarme o para compartirlo con la gente que quiero. Espero que lo disfrutes igual que lo he hecho yo mientras dedicaba mi tiempo a «cocinarlo» para vosotros. With Love & Passion

Tommy grows up in the brutal landscape of Spitzbergen alongside his two brothers, for whom he would do anything, and his grandmother, the seed keeper of the vault.

A partir del estudio y la influencia de la Antigüedad clásica en la cultura occidental, esta obra reflexiona desde distintas perspectivas y mediante los conceptos eje de valor, tiempo y responsabilidad el lugar del clasicismo el estudio de esta época en la actualidad. De esta manera, se busca cuestionar y redefinir lo clásico bajo paradigmas actuales, en los que se reconocen narrativas olvidadas por la disciplina, como el feminismo o el poscolonialismo. Se analizan los desafíos que esto plantea y la necesidad que surge para replantear nuestra aproximación a lo clásico desde una conciencia crítica más allá del idealismo y los discursos hegemónicos con los que hemos estudiado tal periodo durante siglos.

«A mi hija, si yo no le enseño, llega muy justa a saber leer. En clase no practican ni les mandan deberes para casa. Han desaparecido libros, exámenes… Todo es vivencial».Esta es la queja de una madre que no entiende lo que se hace en muchas escuelas, y esa incomprensión parece generalizarse.¿Qué está pasando? Está pasando que mientras se baja la exigencia y el rendimiento, se inflan los resultados (las notas).Está pasando que la docencia es cada vez una profesión menos atractiva, que los estudiantes se han convertido en consumidores y los profesores en proveedores de servicios, y que pretendemos lograr el bienestar de los estudiantes a expensas del éxito académico, cuando debería ser al revés.Está pasando que nunca ha habido más pedagogos, psicopedagogos y terapeutas por metro cuadrado. Y, sin embargo, no sabemos garantizar la calidad de nuestros sistemas educativos. Hoy día, por ejemplo, la palabra repetición evoca enseguida daños emocionales en el repetidor, ignorando los perjuicios a los que se condena de por vida a aquellos que finalizan su enseñanza obligatoria con dificultades severas a la hora de comprender un texto mínimamente complejo.Estos son algunos de los muchos temas que plantea Gregorio Luri en este completo recorrido por todos los aspectos de la educación. Nada se queda fuera en esta crítica pero a la vez optimista obra, porque el autor tiene claro que la escuela no puede sobrevivir sin confianza en sí misma… Y ese es el reto.

The New York Times bestseller and basis for the Tony Award–winning hit musical, soon to be a major motion picture starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.With millions of copies in print around the world, Gregory Maguire’s Wicked is established not only as a commentary on our time but as a novel to revisit for years to come. Wicked relishes the inspired inventions of L. Frank Baum’s 1900 novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, while playing sleight of hand with our collective memories of the 1939 MGM film starring Margaret Hamilton (and Judy Garland). In this fast-paced, fantastically real, and supremely entertaining novel, Maguire has populated the largely unknown world of Oz with the power of his own imagination. Years before Dorothy and her dog crash-land, another little girl makes her presence known in Oz. This girl, Elphaba, is born with emerald-green skin—no easy burden in a land as mean and poor as Oz, where superstition and magic are not strong enough to explain or overcome the natural disasters of flood and famine. Still, Elphaba is smart, and by the time she enters Shiz University, she becomes a member of a charmed circle of Oz’s most promising young citizens.But Elphaba’s Oz is no utopia. The Wizard’s secret police are everywhere. Animals—those creatures with voices, souls, and minds—are threatened with exile. Young Elphaba, green and wild and misunderstood, is determined to protect the Animals—even if it means combating the mysterious Wizard, even if it means risking her single chance at romance. Ever wiser in guilt and sorrow, she can find herself grateful when the world declares her a witch. And she can even make herself glad for that young girl from Kansas. Recognized as an iconoclastic tour de force on its initial publication, the novel has inspired the blockbuster musical of the same name—one of the longest-running plays in Broadway history. Popular, indeed. But while the novel’s distant cousins hail from the traditions of magical realism, mythopoeic fantasy, and sprawling nineteenth-century sagas of moral urgency, Maguire’s Wicked is as unique as its green-skinned witch.

In 1986, twenty-year-old Syvert Løyning returns from the military to his mother’s home in southern Norway. One evening, his dead father comes to him in a dream. Realizing that he doesn’t really know who his father was, Syvert begins to investigate his life and finds clues pointing to the Soviet Union. What he learns changes his past and undermines the entire notion of who he is. But when his mother becomes ill, and he must care for his little brother, Joar, on his own, he no longer has time or space for lofty speculations.In present-day Russia, Alevtina Kotov, a biologist working at Moscow University, is traveling with her young son to the home of her stepfather, to celebrate his eightieth birthday. As a student, Alevtina was bright, curious and ambitious, asking the big questions about life and human consciousness. But as she approaches middle-age, most of that drive has gone, and she finds herself in a place she doesn’t want to be, without really understanding how she got there. Her stepfather, a musician, raised her as his own daughter, and she was never interested in learning about her biological father, when she finally starts looking into him, she learns that he died many years ago and left two sons, Joar and Syvert.Years later, when Syvert and Alevtina meet in Moscow, two very different approaches to life emerge. And as a bright star appears in the sky, it illuminates the wonder of human existence and the mysteries that exist beyond our own worldview. Set against the political and cultural backdrop of both the 1980s and the present day, The Wolves of Eternity is an expansive and affecting book about relations—to one another, to nature, to the dead.

Un pack con bolsa de tela y edición de El proceso para conmemorar el centenario de Franz Kafka«Alguien debía de haber hablado mal de Josef K., puesto que, sin haber hecho nada malo, una mañana lo arrestaron». El proceso, que publicamos en una nueva y excelente traducción de Isabel Hernández, presenta un mundo absurdo pero terriblemente real, un mundo que se parece poco a la experiencia ordinaria, pero que se compone de los elementos de la vida normal, configurados sobre la base de la cotidianeidad del hombre moderno. Debido a todo ello, resulta, a día de hoy, una obra profundamente inquietante, seguramente porque en ella podemos ver innumerables concomitancias con nuestra sociedad actual.

Muchos de quienes sobrevivieron a la guerra civil, pasaron hambre en la posguerra, buscaron ''prosperar'' en los sesenta y ayudaron a sus hijos y a sus nietos durante la crisis de 2008, acabaron muriendo solos durante la pandemia que estalló en 2020. Eran los niños de Franco en los que se centra este libro. Los menores se distancian generacionalmente de los adultos. De un lado, por su mayor vulnerabilidad ante escenarios extremos como las guerras, las posguerras, las hambrunas, los exilios o las dictaduras. De otro lado, por la subestimación que suelen hacer del riesgo. Ello los convierte en víctimas de la violencia, la carestía y los desplazamientos y, a la vez, en sujetos con capacidad para actuar, adaptarse, sobreponerse e influir sobre su entorno. A través de la escuela, la cotidianeidad en sus pueblos de colonización, el hambre y las enfermedades durante los años cuarenta, el trabajo que se vieron obligados a desempeñar, la experiencia del exilio en Francia o las prácticas desobedientes (a menudo políticas) este volumen se acerca a lo que significó ser niño bajo el franquismo. Al analizar tanto los discursos oficiales sobre los menores como las experiencias de aquellos que vivieron y crecieron durante el periodo 1939-1969 el libro ofrece una imagen compleja y matizada de la infancia durante el régimen de Franco. Así, muestra que los niños del franquismo se movieron entre el adoctrinamiento, la pobreza y la picaresca. Todo ello permite ofrecer respuestas para avanzar hacia una mejor y mayor comprensión de la dictadura en su conjunto.
