Helmut Newton

Newton, Helmut

Las inolvidables fotografías de Helmut Newton, sofisticadas y provocativas a la vez, constituyen un legado artístico rico que no ha perdido un ápice de relevancia. Este libro presenta una muestra compacta pero amplia de su trabajo, e incluye una reveladora introducción y una pormenorizada cronología biográfica.Las imágenes de Newton se mueven en la ambigüedad, e incluyen alusiones y observaciones sociales que atraen y desafían a la vez a sus espectadores. Esta selección consigue reflejar el punto de vista único de Newton y las complejas corrientes subyacentes que distinguen su trabajo editorial en los campos de la moda y del retrato.Podrá apreciar la evolución de Newton hasta convertirse en un personaje inconformista, astuto y malicioso, voyeur y satírico a la vez, cuyo objetivo capturó aspectos polémicos pero fundamentales de la alta costura y la alta sociedad en las últimas décadas del siglo XX. Trabajaba como ''pistolero a sueldo'' pero a la vez imponía sus propias perspectivas y obsesiones, y definía su idea de una mujer poderosa y segura de sí misma. Esta figura se convirtió en su tema más insistente, desarrollado en escenarios cargados de erotismo, habitualmente en el seductor ambiente de lujosos apartamentos o grandes hoteles, sobre todo en París, Montecarlo y Los Ángeles.Desde mediados de la década de 1960, las dinámicas imágenes de Newton consolidaron su reputación en el mundo de la moda por medio de trabajos publicados en revistas de primer orden, como Vogue Paris, Elle, Marie Claire, Nova, Queen y la edición británica de Vogue. A partir de mediados de los años setenta su fama se extendió gracias a sus primeros libros y exposiciones. Sus imágenes inmortalizan a grandes figuras de la alta sociedad, el cine y la moda, como la princesa Carolina de Mónaco, Charlotte Rampling, Paloma Picasso y Karl Lagerfeld.Las fotografías glamurosas, innovadoras y transgresoras de Helmut Newton tienen un sello propio y una autoridad indiscutible que las hace mantener su dominio en nuestra imaginación.

Paradise lost (clothbound classics)
Hoy -5% en Libros

Milton, John W.

John Milton's Paradise Lost is one of the greatest epic poems in the English language. It tells the story of the Fall of Man, a tale of immense drama and excitement, of rebellion and treachery, of innocence pitted against corruption, in which God and Satan fight a bitter battle for control of mankind's destiny. The struggle rages across three worlds - heaven, hell, and earth - as Satan and his band of rebel angels plot their revenge against God. At the center of the conflict are Adam and Eve, who are motivated by all too human temptations but whose ultimate downfall is unyielding love.Marked by Milton's characteristic erudition, Paradise Lost is a work epic both in scale and, notoriously, in ambition. For nearly 350 years, it has held generation upon generation of audiences in rapt attention, and its profound influence can be seen in almost every corner of Western culture.

Ondaatje, Michael

From the acclaimed Booker Prize-winning novelist, a gorgeous and most of all surprising poetry collection about memory, love, and the act of looking back. Following several of his internationally acclaimed, beloved novels, A Year of Last Things is Michael Ondaatje's long-awaited return to poetry. In pieces that are sometimes wittily funny, moving and always wise, we journey back through time by way of alchemical leaps, unearthing writings by revered masters, moments of shared tenderness, and abandoned landscapes we hold onto to rediscover the influence of every border crossed, Moving from a Sri Lankan boarding school to Moliere's chair during his last stage performance, to Bulgarian churches and their icons, to a California coast, and his beloved Canadian rivers, Michael Ondaatje casts a brilliant eye that merges his past and present, in the way memory and the distant shores of art and lost friends continue to influence all that surrounds him. These poems reflect the life of a writer, traveller and watcher of the world who has never conformed to western traditions - always describing himself as a 'mongrel', someone who contains multitudes, Looking back on a life of displacement and discovery, love and loss, this is an intercultural and brave book, Poetry - where language is made to work hardest - is what Ondaatje has returned to, and this is both an intimate personal record of a life lived and a great artist's guide to the vital, various world around us,

Stan Lee y Jack Kirby hicieron debutar a Silver Surfer (también conocido como Estela Plateada) en las fértiles páginas de Los 4 Fantásticos, y rápidamente se convirtió en uno de los personajes más excepcionales de Marvel. Esclavizado por Galactus, un semidiós que le ordena viajar por el cosmos en busca de su próxima comida (del tamaño de un planeta), Surfer es una figura tan trágica como la que más, ¡y al mismo tiempo increíblemente guay! El personaje, un gran éxito entre los fans y un secundario habitual en Los 4 Fantásticos, tocó la fibra sensible de Lee, quien ardía en deseos de hacerlo protagonista de sus propias historias. Pero había que esperar el momento adecuado.En la primavera de 1968, el autor y el personaje tuvieron su oportunidad, y Lee presentó el primer cómic de tamaño doble de Silver Surfer. Lee también reclutó al dibujante John Buscema, quien recientemente había contribuido con su extraordinario arte a Los Vengadores. Juntos crearon una serie de aventuras legendarias que ayudaron a definir el personaje para siempre.Este tomo XXL de tamaño cósmico de la serie Marvel Comics Library, ganadora del premio Eisner, recopila las historias más destacadas de los 18 números de Silver Surfer de 1968 (con un número final ilustrado por Jack ''King'' Kirby y reproduce fotográficamente los cómics originales mejor conservados, un trabajo realizado en estrecha colaboración con Marvel y Certified Guaranty Company.Cada página se ha fotografiado tal como se imprimió hace más de medio siglo. A continuación, se ha remasterizado digitalmente utilizando modernas técnicas de retoque para corregir problemas con la impresión económica e imperfecta de la época. El resultado es un volumen que parece salir de una imprenta de primera categoría de la década de 1960.  Para esta serie se ha desarrollado en exclusiva un tipo de papel que simula el tacto de los cómics originales.Las historias están acompañadas por fotografías, material documental poco conocido y textos del escritor y crítico Douglas Wolk y del artista de Marvel Sal Buscema. © 2023 MARVEL

Score, Lucy

From Sunday Times and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Things We Never Got Over Dominic: I got her fired. Okay, so I'd had a bad day, but there's nothing innocent about Ally Morales. Maybe her colourful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine's offices that have felt like a prison for the past year. Maybe I like that she argues with me in front of the editorial staff. And maybe my after-hours fantasies are haunted by her brown eyes and sharp tongue. She's working herself to death at half a dozen dead-end jobs for some secret reason. And I'm going to fix it all. Don't accuse me of caring. She's nothing more than a puzzle to be solved. If I can get her to quit, I can finally peel away all those layers. Then I can go back to salvaging the family name and forget all about the dancing, beer-slinging brunette. Ally: Ha. Hold my beer, Grumpy Grump Face.

Alice's adventures (clothbound classics)
Hoy -5% en Libros

Carroll, Lewis

Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. 'I had sent my heroine straight down a rabbit-hole without the least idea what was to happen afterwards,' wrote Dodgson, describing how Alice was conjured up one 'golden afternoon' in 1862 to entertain his child-friend Alice Liddell. In the magical world of Wonderland and the back-to-front Looking-Glass kingdom, order is turned upside-down: a baby turns into a pig, time is abandoned at a tea-party, and a chaotic game of chess makes a 7-year-old a Queen.
