1960. The border between East and West Germany has closed.For Elisabeth - a young painter - the GDR is her generation's chance to build an egalitarian socialist future. For her brother Uli, it is a place of stricture and oppression. Separating them is the ever-wider chasm of the party line, over them loom the twin spectres of opportunity and fear, and the shadow of their defector brother Konrad. In prose as bold as a scarlet paint stroke, Brigitte Reimann battles with the clash of idealism and suppression, familial loyalty and desire. This fervid, ground-breaking novel, written when Reimann was only twenty-seven, remains one of the cult classics of East German literature.

Aclamado en todo el mundo como un monumento literario, La Divina Comedia, terminada en 1321 y escrita por Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), está considerada la obra literaria más importante escrita en italiano. El poema épico describe el viaje de Dante a través del infierno, el purgatorio y el cielo, representando, en un nivel más profundo, el camino del alma hacia la salvación. En los últimos años de su vida, el artista y poeta romántico William Blake (1757-1827) realizó 102 ilustraciones para la obra maestra de Dante, tanto bocetos a lápiz como acuarelas acabadas. Al igual que el revolucionario poema de Dante, los dibujos de Blake incluyen tanto escenas de sufrimiento infernal o luz celestial como horribles desfiguraciones humanas o de perfección física. Aunque fiel al texto, Blake también aportó su propio punto de vista sobre algunos de los temas centrales de Dante. Las ilustraciones de Blake, que en el momento de su muerte se hallaban en diferentes fases de ejecución, se encuentran hoy en siete instituciones distintas. Esta edición de TASCHEN reúne de nuevo todas estas imágenes acompañadas de fragmentos de la obra maestra de Dante. Dos textos introductorios evalúan la figura de Dante y de Blake relacionándolos con otros importantes artistas que también se inspiraron en la Divina Comedia, como Sandro Botticelli, Miguel Ángel, Eugène Delacroix, Gustave Doré y Auguste Rodin. Mediante un análisis pormenorizado de las ilustraciones de Blake y muchos fragmentos ampliados que permiten maravillarse con los detalles más delicados, se dan cita en este volumen dos de los talentos artísticos más excepcionales de la historia ante unos temas tan universales como el amor, la culpa, el castigo, la venganza y la redención.

One week into the COVID-19 shutdown, tenants of a Lower East Side apartment building in Manhattan have begun to gather on the rooftop and tell stories. With each passing night, more and more neighbors gather, bringing chairs and milk crates and overturned pails. Gradually the tenants—some of whom have barely spoken to each other—become real neighbors. In this Decameron-like serial novel, general editor Margaret Atwood, Authors Guild president Douglas Preston, and a star-studded list of contributors create a beautiful ode to the people who couldn’t get away from the city when the pandemic hit. A dazzling, heartwarming collection, Fourteen Days reveals how beneath the horrible loss and suffering, some communities managed to become stronger.

“Even though A Woman of Pleasure exposes the brutal life of sex workers, a dynamic optimism runs throughout the book. Only Kiyoko Murata can convey this world.” —Yoko Ogawa, author of The Memory Police ( Yomiuri Shimbun )In 1903, a fifteen-year-old girl named Ichi Aoi is sold to the most exclusive brothel in Kumamoto, Japan. Despite her modest beginnings in a southern fishing village, she becomes the protégée of an oiran, the highest-ranking courtesan at the brothel. Through the teachings of her oiran, Shinonome, Ichi begins to understand the intertwined power of sex and money. And in her mandatory school lessons, her writing instructor, Tetsuko, encourages Ichi and the others to think clearly and express themselves. Based on real-life events in Meiji-era Japan, award-winning and critically acclaimed veteran writer Kiyoko Murata re-creates in stunning detail the brutal yet vibrant lives of women in the red-light district at the turn of the twentieth century—the bond they share, the survival skills they pass down, and the power of owning one's language. By banding together, the women organize a strike and walk away from the brothel and into the possibility of new lives.

Twenty-one-year-old Tanner Quimby needs a place to live. Preferably one where she can continue sitting around in sweatpants and playing video games nineteen hours a day. Since she has no credit or money to speak of, her options are limited, so when an opportunity to work as a live-in caregiver for an elderly woman falls into her lap, she takes it.One slip on the rug. That’s all it took for Louise Wilt’s daughter to demand that Louise have a full-time nanny living with her. Never mind that she can still walk fine, finish her daily crossword puzzle, and pour the two fingers of vodka she drinks every afternoon. Bottom line -- Louise wants a caretaker even less than Tanner wants to be one.The two start off their living arrangement happily ignoring each other until Tanner starts to notice things—weird things. Like, why does Louise keep her garden shed locked up tighter than a prison? And why is the local news fixated on the suspect of one of the biggest jewelry heists in American history who looks eerily like Louise? And why does Louise suddenly appear in her room, with a packed bag at 1 a.m. insisting that they leave town immediately?Thus begins the story of a not-to-be-underestimated elderly woman and an aimless young woman who—if they can outrun the mistakes of their past—might just have the greatest adventure of their lives.
