Washington, Bryan

From the bestselling author of Memorial, a novel that will 'break your heart twice over, with sadness, sure, but more unexpectedly, with joy.' Rumaan AlamGrowing up , TJ was Cam's boy next door. When Cam needed a home, TJ's parents - Mae and Jin - took him in. Their family bakery became Cam's safe place. Until he left, and it wasn't anymore.Years later, Cam's world is falling apart. The love of his life, Kai, is gone: but his ghost keeps haunting Cam, and won't let go. And Cam's not sure he wants to let go, not sure he's ready. When he has a chance to return to his home town, to work in a gay bar clinging on in a changing city landscape, he takes it. Back in the same place as TJ, they circle each other warily, their banter electric with an undercurrent of betrayal, drawn together despite past and current drama. Family is family. But TJ is no longer the same person Cam left behind, he's had his own struggles. The quiet, low-key, queer kid, the one who stayed home, TJ's not sure how to navigate Cam - utterly cool, completely devastated and self-destructing - crashing back into his world.When things said - or left unsaid - become so insurmountable that they devour us from within, hope and sustenance and friendship can come from the most unlikely source. Nourishment has many forms: eating croissants, sitting together at a table with bowls of curry, sharing history, confronting demons, growing flowers, showing up. This is a story about how the people who know us the longest can hurt us the most, but how they also set the standard for love, and by their necessary presence, create a family.

The Power Of Art
Hoy -5% en Libros

Campbell, Caroline

To read most histories of art, you might be forgiven for supposing that great artists are superhuman, and the knowledge of different movements, periods and styles is essential to truly appreciate art.It's time to look at art in a new way.THE POWER OF ART delves into the stories behind remarkable acts of creation in fifteen global cities at pivotal moments of artistic brilliance. It shows how art is an integral part of our daily lives, embedded in the very fabric of our existence. From the enduring wonders of ancient Babylon to the menacing pastel architecture of contemporary Pyongyang, eminent curator Caroline Campbell intertwines the stories of artists with the broader social, cultural and political landscapes of their time.In each vivid episode, Campbell reveals how art, in all its forms, is a testament to humanity's inventiveness and ingenuity: it has served our fundamental needs for shelter, sustenance, spirituality, pleasure, order and community. But it can also evoke envy, anger, greed, and even be used as a means of social control.Spanning thousands of years of creativity, THE POWER OF ART will ignite your imagination and open your eyes to the art that surrounds us, whether it be a painting in a gallery, a public sculpture or an everyday object with hidden beauty.

Caparrós, Martín

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.

El poder de los memes
Hoy -5% en Libros

Wiggins, Bradley

¿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.

Trujillo Aragón, Alicia

El arte y la vida se entremezclan, al igual que el sueño y la muerte o el sol y la oscuridad. Todo llama a su opuesto, y todo opuesto se toca. El milagro se produce cuando nuestra propia voz es la que logra reflejar lo antagónico y evidenciar la libertad que cruza esa barrera, ese umbral, del que nos habla Alicia Trujillo, sabedora de que la palabra puede redimir pero, igualmente, puede dañar.Ante del umbral es un itinerario obscuro y claro —al mismo tiempo—, intimista y profundo sobre la esencia artística, sobre esos arcanos que se deslizan en el acto de la creación y que confieren al ser humano un valor único y eterno.Alicia Trujillo vive para la literatura, y eso es un don que tarde o temprano tenía que estallar para obsequiarnos con este conjunto de poemas trascendentes y bellos que rozan los límites —el umbral— de la percepción.

The Genetic Book Of The Dead
Hoy -5% en Libros

Dawkins, Richard

From one of the world's great science writers, a book that explores the deepest principles of evolutionary history.In this groundbreaking new approach to the evolution of all life, Richard Dawkins shows how the body, behaviour, and genes of every living creature can be read as a book – an archive of the worlds of its ancestors. A perfectly camouflaged desert lizard has a desiccated landscape of sand and stones 'painted' on its back. Its skin can be read as a description of ancient deserts in which its ancestors survived – and, before that, of the worlds of its more remote ancestors: a genetic book of the dead.But such descriptions are more than skin-deep. The fine chisels of Darwinian natural selection carve their way through the very warp and woof of the body, into every biochemical nook and corner, into every cell of every living creature. A zoologist of the future, presented with a hitherto-unknown animal, will be able to reconstruct the worlds that shaped its ancestors, to read its unique 'book of the dead'.The book is filled with fascinating examples of the power of Darwinian natural selection to build exquisite perfection, paradoxically accompanied by what look like gross blunders. Along the way, Dawkins dismantles influential criticisms of the 'gene's-eye-view' of life. And, to end with a provocative sting in the tail, the author asks there is a sense in which all our 'own' genes can be seen as a gigantic colony of cooperating viruses?From the author of The Selfish Gene and The Ancestor's Tale comes a revolutionary, richly illustrated book that unlocks the door to an ancient past, seen through wholly new eyes.

Diario de la India
Hoy -5% en Libros

Azeredo, Maria

«Este libro no es un diario con una descripción detallada de las actividades y experiencias del viaje, ni pretende ser una guía de lugares a visitar en la India. Es solo un diario íntimo y personal, escrito por una mujer de veinticinco años que en ese momento no sabía que más tarde iría a ser publicado. No sabía que su fragilidad iría a ser expuesta ante otros corazones. Este diario es un compartir que rompe con mi vulnerabilidad.» Maria de Azeredo«A pesar de los cambios que se dejó hacer, estableció lo que jamás quería que fuese diferente. No quería –no podía– habituarse al desprecio por los derechos humanos. No quería habituarse a la pobreza. En el momento en el que esto se convirtiera en algo «normal», dejaría de sentirse viva. Fue en la escritura en la que encontró un refugio para digerir lo que sucedía a su alrededor, y lo que le estaba sucediendo sin que ella misma se diera cuenta. Y fue en el amor y en la comprensión donde halló el lugar para expandir su mundo interior.» Del prefacio de Carolina Franco

What I Ate In A Year
Hoy -5% en Libros

Tucci, Stanley

‘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.
