From one of America's iconic writers, a portrait of a marriage and a life - in good times and bad - that will speak to anyone who has ever loved a husband or wife or child. A stunning book of electric honesty and passion.Several days before Christmas 2003, John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion saw their only daughter, Quintana, fall ill. At first they thought it was flu, then pneumonia, then complete sceptic shock. She was put into an induced coma and placed on life support. Days later - the night before New Year's Eve -the Dunnes were just sitting down to dinner after visiting the hospital when John suffered a massive and fatal coronary. In a second, this close, symbiotic partnership of 40 years was over. Four weeks later, their daughter pulled through. Two months after that, arriving at LA airport, she collapsed and underwent six hours of brain surgery at UCLA Medical Centre to relieve a massive hematoma.This powerful book is Didion's 'attempt to make sense of the weeks and then months that cut loose any fixed idea I ever had about death, about illness ... about marriage and children and memory ... about the shallowness of sanity, about life itself'. The result is an exploration of an intensely personal yet universal experience: a portrait of a marriage, and a life, in good times and bad.

The climate crisis is here. Our chance to stop it has come and gone, but this doesn’t have to mean the world is ending.‘If you care about the planet, and about the people and animals who live on it, there are two ways to think about this. You can keep on hoping that catastrophe is preventable, and feel ever more frustrated or enraged by the world’s inaction. Or you can accept that disaster is coming, and begin to rethink what it means to have hope.’The honesty and realism of Jonathan Franzen’s writings on climate have been widely denounced and just as widely celebrated. Here, in his definitive statement on the subject, Franzen confronts the world’s failure to avert destabilising climate change and takes up the question: Now what?

David Sedaris returns with his most deeply personal and darkly hilarious book.If you've ever laughed your way through David Sedaris's cheerfully misanthropic stories, you might think you know what you're getting with Calypso. You'd be wrong.When he buys a beach house on the Carolina coast, Sedaris envisions long, relaxing vacations spent playing board games and lounging in the sun with those he loves most. And life at the Sea Section, as he names the vacation home, is exactly as idyllic as he imagined, except for one tiny, vexing realization: it's impossible to take a vacation from yourself.With Calypso, Sedaris sets his formidable powers of observation toward middle age and mortality. Make no mistake: these stories are very, very funny - it's a book that can make you laugh 'til you snort, the way only family can. Sedaris's powers of observation have never been sharper, and his ability to shock readers into laughter unparalleled. But much of the comedy here is born out of that vertiginous moment when your own body betrays you and you realize that the story of your life is made up of more past than future.This is beach reading for people who detest beaches, required reading for those who loathe small talk and love a good tumor joke. Calypso is simultaneously Sedaris's darkest and warmest book yet - and it just might be his very best.

It is 1981. Glasgow is dying and good families must grift to survive. Agnes Bain has always expected more from life. She dreams of greater things: a house with its own front door and a life bought and paid for outright (like her perfect, but false, teeth). But Agnes is abandoned by her philandering husband, and soon she and her three children find themselves trapped in a decimated mining town. As she descends deeper into drink, the children try their best to save her, yet one by one they must abandon her to save themselves. It is her son Shuggie who holds out hope the longest. Shuggie is different. Fastidious and fussy, he shares his mother’s sense of snobbish propriety. The miners' children pick on him and adults condemn him as no’ right. But Shuggie believes that if he tries his hardest, he can be normal like the other boys and help his mother escape this hopeless place. Douglas Stuart's Shuggie Bain lays bare the ruthlessness of poverty, the limits of love, and the hollowness of pride. A counterpart to the privileged Thatcher-era London of Alan Hollinghurst’s The Line of Beauty, it also recalls the work of Édouard Louis, Frank McCourt, and Hanya Yanagihara, a blistering debut by a brilliant writer with a powerful and important story to tell.

En el Nueva York de la década de 1950, antes de convertirse en uno de los nombres más célebres del siglo XX, Andy Warhol era ya un hábil y exitoso artista comercial. Durante esa época, como parte de su estrategia para atraer a clientes y forjar amistades, creó siete libros promocionales hechos a mano reservados para sus contactos más valiosos. En ellos incluyó extravagantes dibujos y textos suyos, revelando, entre otras, su pasión por los gatos, la comida, los mitos, los zapatos, los chicos guapos y las chicas hermosas.Décadas más tarde, y con los originales pasando de unos propietarios a otros por miles de dólares en subastas, TASCHEN presenta un volumen de tamaño XL que contiene meticulosas reediciones de estos siete libros. Con títulos como Love Is A Pink Cake (El amor es una tarta color rosa), 25 Cats Named Sam (25 gatos llamados Sam) y À la Recherche du Shoe Perdu (En busca del zapato perdido), esta serie revela el carácter fuera de lo común del artista, su destreza como dibujante, su creatividad ilimitada y su sutil sentido del humor.Este libro juega con estilos y géneros: Las litografías de A Is for Alphabet (A de Alfabeto) dedican una página a cada una de las letras del abecedario, con ilustraciones acompañadas de versos de tres líneas que hablan de extraños encuentros entre el hombre y los animales. In the Bottom of My Garden (Al fondo de mi jardín) es un cuento infantil warholiano y al mismo tiempo un homenaje al amor homosexual. Wild Raspberries (Frambuesas silvestres) es una parodia de un libro de cocina con una serie de recetas atrevidas con instrucciones e ilustraciones.Este colorido volumen también incluye introducciones para cada una de las ilustraciones de Warhol. Enriquecidas con fotografías raramente vistas del artista, objetos inspiradores y trabajos comerciales, contextualizan el arte de Warhol de la década de 1950 ofreciendo una visión de su proceso creativo en aquellos primeros años así como de su carácter entrañable y juguetón.Estos libros son joyas poco conocidas pero muy codiciadas del universo Warhol. Delicias dibujadas a mano tan atractivas y originales hoy como lo fueron en la década de 1950. Con una introducción de la experta en Warhol Nina Schleif, así como ilustraciones de la época y fotografías de Warhol, esta edición meticulosa ofrece una mirada única a un genio incipiente a punto de alcanzar la fama mundial.© The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc.

Un estudio único de 350 obras de arte de artistas LGBTQ+ de todo el mundo, muchos de ellos poco reconocidos y olvidados, de los últimos 50 años.Aunque los disturbios de Stonewall sean ahora la abreviatura del inicio del movimiento por los derechos de los homosexuales, gran parte del arte y la cultura han sido ''queer'' desde el principio de los tiempos. En About Face, el historiador del arte y comisario Jonathan D. Katz explora este concepto de frente, comisariando un tapiz de obras que conectan hilos históricos y revelan cómo el género y la identidad sexual han sido entretejidos por artistas contemporáneos y posteriores a Stonewall.Con más de 350 obras de más de 40 artistas LGBTQ+ de distintas nacionalidades y generaciones, y textos originales de artistas y académicos, About Face es tan sorprendente como importante.Jonathan David Katz, PhD, es Profesor Asociado de Práctica en Historia del Arte y Estudios de Género, Sexualidad y Mujer en la Universidad de Pensilvania. En 2019, Katz comisarió About Face: Stonewall, Revolt and New Queer Art en la galería Wrightwood 659 de Chicago.Con textos de Julian Carter, Anthony Cianciolo, Amelia Jones, Ava L.H. Kim, Joshua Chambers-Letson, Christopher Reed, Jacolby Satterwhite y Dagmawi Woubshet.

The best book of curious stories of Barcelona.In a corner of Paradís Street, there’s a millstone that commemorates the summit of Mount Tàber, the highest point in the Roman city, where Emperor Augustus’ men began constructing the city they named Iulia Augusta Faventia Paterna Barcino.Since then, this city has left us with many anecdotes and curiosities. By reading them, the reader can embark on an exciting journey through our history and, this way, gain a better understanding of the reality that surrounds them.The first Earl of Barcelona: a lord from Carcassonne.Ramón Berenguer III and the controversy surrounding his horse’s tail.The Eiffel Tower could have been erected in Barcelona.La Mercè, who made 1000 locusts disappear.The Güell family saga, between business and art.«After the success of the edition in Spanish and Catalan, now the English edition is finally published.»The history of Barcelona is visible to the pedestrian strolling through its streets and squares, observing its buildings, and listening with surprise and admiration to the stories of bygone eras. The city’s streets conceal latent histories waiting to be uncovered by the walker at the pace of their own steps. Because every corner, every passage, every fountain hides passionate pages, tales of love or war, tragedies, revolts, cries, dreams, and hopes. Those who know the past that envelops them can better understand the future that awaits them. This book shows us, in the form of brushstrokes and in a playful manner, what the origins of the city of Barcelona were and what remains of that Roman Barcino.It is evident that the urban landscape has changed significantly throughout this time, but the traces of that past can still be seen, not only while strolling through Ciutat Vella but also in the most unexpected corner of the city. All it takes is to sit on a stone bench and gaze up at one of the historic buildings or walk on one of the few remaining cobblestone streets. They are silent testimonies of a past that invites us to listen to it.

En noviembre de 2020, Depeche Mode ingresó en el Salón de la Fama del Rock & Roll. En su discurso de aceptación, Dave Gahan dijo: ''Quiero expresar mi agradecimiento a Anton Corbijn, que gracias a Dios llegó en el momento oportuno y nos hizo parecer cool''. Además, en otoño de 2020, TASCHEN publicó Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn (81-18) en edición limitada y firmada por Depeche Mode y Anton Corbijn. Se trata de una de las Ediciones de Coleccionista que más rápidamente se han vendido en la historia de la editorial. Esta edición de bolsillo, más amable con la billetera, es un reconocimiento a la creatividad única y cool de Corbijn, tal como Gahan reconoció de manera conmovedora en su discurso, una historia ilustrada de cómo Corbijn se convirtió en 1986 en el director creativo de facto de Depeche Mode y ayudó a cimentar su reputación como el grupo de culto más importante del mundo.Presenta más de 150 fotografías procedentes de los extensos archivos de Corbijn, algunas de ellas inéditas, incluidos retratos formales e informales en lugares como Madrid, Hamburgo, el desierto de California, Praga y Marrakech, una multitud de instantáneas íntimas y espontáneas e impresionantes imágenes de actuaciones en directo de todas sus giras desde 1988 hasta 2023.Creado en estrecha colaboración con los miembros del grupo, que comparten sus impresiones sobre el trabajo con Corbijn, Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn cuenta cómo la estética original de un hombre ha definido todas las fotografías de la banda, así como la mayoría de sus vídeos, el grafismo de sus álbumes y el diseño de sus escenarios para ayudar a dar forma a su popularidad inextinguible. Al reflexionar sobre el rol que desempeña en Depeche, Corbijn recuerda en la introducción del libro: ''Se me ocurrieron muchas ideas y quería que encajasen con ellos. Quería pensar por ellos. Ser grande para ellos''. Este libro es un homenaje a la profundidad y extensión de esa grandeza, una celebración de una de las colaboraciones más creativas y duraderas de la historia del rock.

One of the last surviving members of the futurist generation, Bruno Munari's Design as Art is an illustrated journey into the artistic possibilities of modern design translated by Patrick Creagh published as part of the 'Penguin on Design' series in Penguin Modern Classics.'The designer of today re-establishes the long-lost contact between art and the public, between living people and art as a living thing'Bruno Munari was among the most inspirational designers of all time, described by Picasso as 'the new Leonardo'. Munari insisted that design be beautiful, functional and accessible, and this enlightening and highly entertaining book sets out his ideas about visual, graphic and industrial design and the role it plays in the objects we use everyday. Lamps, road signs, typography, posters, children's books, advertising, cars and chairs - these are just some of the subjects to which he turns his illuminating gaze.How do we see the world around us? The Penguin on Design series includes the works of creative thinkers whose writings on art, design and the media have changed our vision forever.Bruno Munari (1907-1998), born in Milan, was the enfant terrible of Italian art and design for most of the twentieth century, contributing to many fields of both visual (paint, sculpture, film, industrial design, graphics) and non-visual arts (literature, poetry). He was twice awarded the Compasso d'Oro design prize for excellence in his field.If you enjoyed Design as Art, you might like John Berger's Ways of Seeing, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.

La comida y el surrealismo son amantes perfectos: sexo y langostas, collage y canibalismo, el encuentro de un cisne y un cepillo de dientes en una pastelería. Las cenas opulentas que organizaban Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) y Gala (1894-1982), su mujer y musa, fueron legendarias. Afortunadamente para nosotros, Dalí publicó un libro de cocina en 1973, Les dîners de Gala, que desvela algunos de aquellos ingredientes sensuales, imaginativos y exóticos que confluían en tan célebres encuentros.Esta reedición abreviada agrupa 78 de sus recetas en 12 capítulos, ilustrados especialmente por Dalí y organizados en función de los distintos platos, así como una sección dedicada a los afrodisíacos. Las ilustraciones y las recetas se acompañan de las extravagantes reflexiones de Dalí cual asuntos tratados en las conversaciones durante las cenas: ''La mandíbula es nuestra mejor herramienta para aferrarnos al conocimiento filosófico''.Todas las valiosas recetas del libro pueden prepararse en casa, aunque en algunos casos se requiera buena mano en la cocina y una despensa bien surtida. Son platos de la vieja escuela, con especialidades de los mejores chefs franceses de restaurantes de París condecorados con estrellas Michelin. El buen gusto, por voluptuoso que sea, nunca pasa de moda. Y dando a conocer al gran público este libro excepcionalmente raro, TASCHEN aporta una obra de arte, un recetario práctico y una experiencia multisensorial a la cocina actual.

There are around 6000 people in the world today who owe their lives to Nicholas Winton. They are the descendants of a group of refugee children rescued by him from the Nazi threat in 1939. Some of them know of his existence and the part he played in their history, many others do not. It was a short event in his life but a critical one for those whose lives were saved. For him that intervention was over in a flash and other adventures supplanted it. Only much later did this episode re-emerge in his life and ever since has brought him visitors from all over the world anxious to learn his story. This book lays out that story in detail, exploring the motivation and early experiences that led to him acting to save young lives, while others looked the other way. His motto ''If something is not impossible, then there must be a way to do it'' led him to follow his own convictions and undertake an operation others had dismissed as unnecessary or too difficult. His life thereafter was full of exploits stimulated by similar motivation which, though not so consequential, remain testimony to his character. But what was his motivation? How had his life and background led to him being ready, willing and able to conduct a successful rescue operation of 669 children from Czechoslovakia at the age of 29? His daughter has painstakingly sifted through her father's papers and talked to family and friends to construct a detailed account of his whole life. It explores the influences on his character as well as the historical events he was caught up in. Taken from his historical letters and writings, Winton's own words are introduced to convey the atmosphere of many of his diverse experiences.
