Thorne, Jennifer

White Lotus meets Hereditary in this uproarious and unsettling dissection of a dysfunctional family and their ghosts, both literal and metaphorical, Perfect for fans of Grady Hendrix and Ronald Malfi. Anna only has one rule for the annual Pace family vacations: tread lightly, and survive, It isn't easy when she's the only who doesn't seem to fit in, Her twin brother Benny goes with the flow so much he's practically dissolved, and her high-strung older sister Nicole is so used to everyone-including her blandly docile husband and two young daughters-falling in line that Anna often ends up chastised for simply asking a question,Her Mom is baffled by Anna's life choices (why waste her artistic talent at an ad agency?), and her Dad-well, he just wants a little peace and quiet. The gorgeous villa outside a remote Tuscan town seems like the perfect place to endure so much family time-not to mention Benny's demanding new boyfriend, Christopher, If her family becomes too much to handle, then at least Anna can wander off to a wine tasting or lose herself in an art gallery, That is, until strange things start to happen-strange noises at night, food rotting within hours, dreams that feel more like memories, Then, the unsettling warnings from the locals: don't open the tower door. But Anna does open it. And what she releases threatens to devour her family-that is, if her family doesn't tear itself apart first,

1984 nineteen-eighty four
Hoy -5% en Libros

Orwell, George

Among the seminal texts of the 20th century, Nineteen Eighty-Four is a rare work that grows more haunting as its futuristic purgatory becomes more real. Published in 1949, the book offers political satirist George Orwell's nightmare vision of a totalitarian, bureaucratic world and one poor stiff's attempt to find individuality. The brilliance of the novel is Orwell's prescience of modern life--the ubiquity of television, the distortion of the language--and his ability to construct such a thorough version of hell. Required reading for students since it was published, it ranks among the most terrifying novels ever written.

'All human beings, as we meet them, are commingled out of good and evil: and Edward Hyde, alone in the ranks of mankind, was pure evil'Published as a shilling shocker, Robert Louis Stevenson's dark psychological fantasy gave birth to the idea of the split personality. The story of respectable Dr Jekyll's strange association with damnable young man Edward Hyde, the hunt through fog-bound London for a killer, and the final revelation of Hyde's true identity is a chilling exploration of humanity's basest capacity for evil.

Fifteenth - Century netherlandish painting
Hoy -5% en Libros

Pérez Preciado, José Juan

Nuevo volumen de la colección de catálogos razonados del Museo del Prado, tras El Greco, Pintura holandesa, Las miniaturas en el Museo del Prado y Luca Giordano. Este catálogo estudia las pinturas realizadas en los Países Bajos durante el siglo XV que custodia el Museo del Prado, incluyendo las de artistas activos en el XVI pero vinculados con el quehacer del siglo anterior. Se trata de un momento trascendente para la cultura artística occidental, que alumbra la obra de creadores revolucionarios, como Jan van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden o el Maestro de Flémalle, la de los maestros que siguieron su estela, como Dirk Bouts, Hans Memling o Hugo van der Goes, y la de otros autores de menos fama pero de producción igualmente notable. La pintura flamenca temprana es célebre no solo por su delicadeza técnica e intensidad narrativa, sino por la dificultad que entraña interpretar los asuntos representados. Además, la ausencia de documentación cierta sobre sus creadores, de muchos de los cuales se ignora hasta su identidad, y la escasez de datos sobre las propias obras, hacen que su estudio sea uno de los más complejos pero también más atractivos de la historia del arte. Esta publicación actualiza el conocimiento de esas obras y sus autores en el Museo. Se catalogan creaciones individuales, trípticos completos o escenas fragmentarias de unos veinte artistas, de quienes se ofrece una sucinta biografía con sus obras seguras y clave para atribuir las que se examinan, sean estas autógrafas, de taller o de seguidores. A los datos y el análisis histórico y artístico de cada una se añade un exhaustivo estudio técnico, fundamental para precisar conclusiones, incluyendo la revisión de atribuciones tradicionales y la propuesta de la más certera autoría para pinturas que hasta hoy se tenían por anónimas. Su autor, José Juan Pérez Preciado, técnico del Museo en el Área de Pintura Flamenca y Escuelas del Norte, ha llevado a cabo este trabajo en colaboración con el Gabinete Técnico y Laboratorio del Museo y con la asesoría científica de Lorne Campbell, reconocido experto en la pintura de los Países Bajos, que escribe la introducción sobre el temprano interés que esas bellas creaciones despertaron en España.

The factory
Hoy -5% en Libros

Oyamada, Hiroko

Beyond the town, there is the factory. Beyond the factory, there is nothing.Within the sprawling industrial complex, three employees are assigned to different departments. There, each must focus on a specific task: one shreds paper, one proofreads documents, and another studies the moss growing all over the expansive grounds. As they grow accustomed to the routine and co-workers, their lives become governed by their work. Days take on a strange logic and momentum, and little by little, the margins of reality seem to be dissolving: Where does the factory end and the rest of the world begin? What’s going on with the strange animals here? And after a while – it could be weeks or years – the three workers struggle to answer the most basic question: what am I doing here?With hints of Kafka and Beckett and unexpected moments of creeping humour, The Factory is a vivid, and sometimes surreal, portrait of the absurdity and meaninglessness of the modern workplace.

Gifford, Barry

In Writers, great American storyteller Barry Gifford paints portraits of famous writers caught in imaginary vulnerable moments in their lives. In prose that is funny, grotesque, and a touch brutal, Gifford shows these writers at their most human, which is to say at their worst: they are liars, frauds, lousy lovers, and drunks.This is a world in which Ernest Hemingway drunkenly sets explosive trip wires outside his home in Cuba, Marcel Proust implores the angel of death as a delirious Arthur Rimbaud lies dying in a hospital bed, and Albert Camus converses with a young prostitute while staring at himself in the mirror of a New York City hotel room.In Gifford's house of mirrors, we are offered a unique perspective on this group of literary greats. These stories, meant to be performed as plays, are tender and thoughtful exercises in empathy. Obsessions loom large, especially a preoccupation with death. Gifford asks: What does it mean to devote oneself entirely to art? And as an artist, what defines failure, or success?This new edition of Writers includes five new pieces, featuring Georges Simenon with André Gide, Franz Kafka with Marcel Proust, Flannery O’Connor with William Burroughs, Ivan Turgenev with Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Joseph Conrad with D.H. Lawrence, and Willa Cather with Gypsy Rose Lee.

Humans lack the capacity to comprehend geo-logical time, a breadth unfathomable from our biological perspective. Our callous extraction of resources negates the patience of geomorphology. The Burren’s karst landscape instinctively rejects the notion of deep time. Its proximity to the visible surface belies its layered creation over millennia. It is a unique terrain where natural processes can be appreciated rather than exploited. A landscape that can be interpreted in the tension between depth and shallowness, mass and volume.
