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.

'A fine and deeply affecting work of history and memoir' Philippe SandsDecades ago, the historian Bernard Wasserstein set out to uncover the hidden past of the town forty miles west of Lviv where his family Krakowiec (Krah-KOV-yets). In this book he recounts its dramatic and traumatic history. 'I want to observe and understand how some of the great forces that determined the shape of our times affected ordinary people.' The result is an exceptional, often moving book.Wasserstein traces the arc of history across centuries of religious and political conflict, as armies of Cossacks, Turks, Swedes and Muscovites rampaged through the region. In the Age of Enlightenment, the Polish magnate Ignacy Cetner built his palace at Krakowiec and, with his vivacious daughter, Princess Anna, created an arcadia of refinement and serenity. Under the Habsburg emperors after 1772, Krakowiec developed into a typical shtetl, with a jostling population of Poles, Ukrainians and Jews.In 1914, disaster struck. 'Seven years of terror and carnage' left a legacy of ferocious national antagonisms. During the Second World War the Jews were murdered in circumstances harrowingly described by Wasserstein. After the war the Poles were expelled and the town dwindled into a border outpost. Today, the storm of history once again rains down on Krakowiec as hordes of refugees flee for their lives from Ukraine to Poland.At the beginning and end of the book we encounter Wasserstein's own family, especially his grandfather Berl. In their lives and the many others Wasserstein has rediscovered, the people of Krakowiec become a prism through which we can feel the shocking immediacy of history. Original in conception and brilliantly achieved, A Small Town in Ukraine is a masterpiece of recovery and insight.

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.
