Frankenstein

Shelley, Mary W.

One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World'The Penguin English Library Edition of Frankenstein by Mary ShelleyA twisted, upside-down creation myth, Mary Shelley's chilling Gothic tale lays bare the dark side of science, and the horror within us all. It tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, who plunders graveyards to create a new being from the bodies of the dead - but whose botched creature causes nothing but murder and destruction. Written after a nightmare when its author was only eighteen, Frankenstein gave birth to the modern science fiction novel.The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.¿A quién va dirigido el libro FRANKENSTEIN?Frankenstein es una novela con un amplio espectro de lectores. Su temática universal sobre la creación, la responsabilidad, el rechazo y las consecuencias del progreso científico la hace accesible a un público diverso. Se recomienda para lectores jóvenes interesados en la ciencia ficción y el terror gótico, así como para adultos que buscan una obra literaria con profundidad filosófica y social. La complejidad de la narrativa y la exploración de temas morales la convierten en una lectura enriquecedora para estudiantes de literatura y filosofía. En definitiva, la obra trasciende las barreras generacionales y ofrece una experiencia de lectura significativa para un amplio rango de edades y niveles de conocimiento.Temas que trata el libro FrankensteinFrankenstein explora una multitud de temas interconectados que la convierten en una obra compleja y multifacética. Algunos de los temas más relevantes son:La ambición científica y sus consecuencias: La novela presenta una crítica a la ambición desmedida del científico que busca trascender los límites naturales sin considerar las implicaciones éticas y morales de sus actos. El Dr. Frankenstein se obsesiona con la creación de vida artificial, sin prever las consecuencias devastadoras de su experimento. Este tema invita a la reflexión sobre la responsabilidad del científico en la sociedad y la necesidad de una ética rigurosa en la investigación.La creación y la responsabilidad: El tema central gira en torno a la creación de vida y la responsabilidad que conlleva. Frankenstein crea una criatura, pero la abandona a su suerte, sin asumir las consecuencias de sus actos. La novela explora la relación entre creador y criatura, cuestionando el derecho a la creación y la obligación de cuidar de lo que se ha creado.El rechazo y el prejuicio: La criatura de Frankenstein es rechazada por la sociedad debido a su apariencia monstruosa. La novela muestra cómo el prejuicio y el miedo a lo diferente pueden llevar a la exclusión y la violencia. Este tema invita a la reflexión sobre la importancia de la aceptación y la tolerancia hacia los demás, independientemente de sus diferencias físicas o sociales.La naturaleza humana: Frankenstein explora la naturaleza humana en sus aspectos más oscuros y complejos. La novela muestra la capacidad del ser humano para la crueldad, la venganza y la autodestrucción, pero también su capacidad para el amor, la compasión y la redención. La obra presenta una visión ambivalente de la condición humana, sin simplificaciones ni juicios morales fáciles.El aislamiento y la soledad: Tanto el Dr. Frankenstein como su criatura experimentan un profundo aislamiento y soledad. El científico se aísla por la culpa y el horror de su creación, mientras que la criatura es rechazada por la sociedad. La novela explora las consecuencias del aislamiento social y la importancia de las relaciones humanas para el bienestar individual.El poder de la naturaleza: La novela contrasta el poder de la naturaleza con el poder de la ciencia. La naturaleza se presenta como una fuerza poderosa e impredecible, capaz de destruir y crear. La ciencia, por su parte, se presenta como una herramienta poderosa, pero también peligrosa, que puede ser utilizada para el bien o para el mal.Resumen de críticas, opiniones y valoraciones del libro FRANKENSTEINSe considera una obra fundamental de la literatura gótica y de ciencia ficción, alabada por su capacidad para generar inquietud y reflexión.

Evanovich, Janet

Stephanie Plum returns to hunt down a master cyber-criminal operating out of Trenton in the 28th book in the wildly popular series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich. When Stephanie Plum is woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of footsteps in her apartment, she wishes she didn’t keep her gun in the cookie jar in her kitchen. And when she finds out the intruder is fellow apprehension agent Diesel, six feet of hard muscle and bad attitude whom she hasn’t seen in more than two years, she still thinks the gun might come in handy. Turns out Diesel and Stephanie are on the trail of the same fugitive: Oswald Wednesday, an international computer hacker as brilliant as he is ruthless. Stephanie may not be the most technologically savvy sleuth, but she more than makes up for that with her dogged determination, her understanding of human nature, and her willingness to do just about anything to bring a fugitive to justice. Unsure if Diesel is her partner or her competition in this case, she’ll need to watch her back every step of the way as she sets the stage to draw Wednesday out from behind his computer and into the real world.

García Cueto, David

Edición a cargo de David García Cueto, comisario de la exposición y conservador de Pintura Italiana y Francesa hasta 1800 del Museo del Prado. Inglés. Rústica. 24 x 30 cm. 448 páginas.Publicado con motivo de la exposición Guido Reni, celebrada en el Museo Nacional del Prado entre el 28 de marzo y el 9 de julio de 2023.Guido Reni (1575-1642) fue uno de los artistas más destacados en la Europa de su tiempo, llegando su fama al nivel de la que alcanzaron Rubens, Caravaggio o Bernini. Desde su Bolonia natal, su obra se difundió no solo por buena parte de Italia, sino que también alcanzó algunas de las principales capitales del continente, como París, Londres o Madrid. En efecto, España no permaneció ajena al interés por las creaciones del maestro boloñés, coleccionadas tanto por la corona como por algunos de los más destacados miembros de la aristocracia y que, en varios casos, acabaron en los fondos del Museo Nacional del Prado. Además, a la vista de sus obras, ciertos artistas hispanos decidieron enriquecer su propio lenguaje con la evocación de las propuestas de Reni, entre ellos varios pintores de especial relevancia, como Bartolomé Esteban Murillo.Este catálogo pone de manifiesto la actualidad del legado de Guido Reni. Cuenta con nueve ensayos, a cargo de otros tantos autores internacionales, y se centra en su obra y su técnica, así como en el contexto en el que destacó en la Bolonia y Roma de su época y en particular en su relación con España durante el siglo de Oro. Además, analiza y reproduce casi cien obras de Reni y otros artistas entre pinturas, dibujos y esculturas.

Keltner, Dacher

From a foremost expert on the science of emotions, a ground-breaking exploration into the history, psychology and meaning of aweSocial psychologist Dacher Keltner has spent his career speaking to different groups of people, from schoolchildren to prisoners to healthcare workers, about the good life. These conversations and his pioneering research into the science of emotion have convinced him that happiness comes down to one thing: finding awe.Awe allows us to collaborate with others, open our minds to wonder, and see the deep patterns of life. In his new book, Keltner presents a radical investigation into this elusive emotion. Drawing on his own scientific research into how awe transforms our brains and bodies, alongside an examination of awe across history, culture and within his own life during a period of immense grief, Keltner shows us how cultivating wonder leads us to appreciate what is most humane in our human nature. The book includes intensely moving, deeply personal stories of awe from people all over the world - doctors and veterans, environmentalists and filmmakers, indigenous scholars and hospice workers, ministers and midwives, poets and prisoners.At turns radical and profound, Awe is our field guide for how to uncover everyday wonder as a vital force within our lives.

Omen

Aavv

''Omen'' reexamina el archivo fotográfico de la Farm Security Administration, revelando un relato menos conocido que cuestiona las perspectivas tradicionales de la historia estadounidense. La secuencia visual de este libro desafía las normas al recortar de manera creativa imágenes de los archivos de la Farm Security Administration (1935-1944) de la Biblioteca Pública de Nueva York.Lucy Ives, la aclamada escritora y poetisa estadounidense, ha escrito con maestría el cautivador texto de Omen. Ives se ha consolidado como una de las principales voces del mundo literario contemporáneo, con numerosas publicaciones aclamadas por la crítica.Persiguiendo al fantasma, las huellas del olvido y los ecos de lo que fue y ya no es, Omen representa una es una revisión y recontextualización de una parte del archivo fotográfico de la Farm Security Administration (1935-1944) alojado en la Biblioteca Pública de Nueva York. Este programa destacó como uno de los hitos de la fotografía documental moderna y desempeñó un papel fundamental en la construcción de una narrativa hegemónica -principalmente en torno al triunfo contra la adversidad, la división y la catástrofe- de la historia reciente de los Estados Unidos y su orden social. Pero enfatizando la mirada sobre ese monumental conjunto de imágenes y explorando las esquinas de los cuadros, los fondos y los detalles-en los personajes secundarios, en lo que no debería estar, en lo que aparece por casualidad, accidente o error-es posible descubrir una narrativa diferente: una más espesa, turbia, turbulenta, compleja, contemporánea y contradictoria. Como un estallido y un ápice: una premonición de la continuidad genealógica de las múltiples violencias sistémicas, tumultuosas, visibles e invisibles, atronadoras y silenciosas que dan forma al rostro de la sociedad estadounidense.El libro funciona simultáneamente como un reflejo de la angustiosa realidad de los Estados Unidos en nuestros días y como un instrumento de reflexión sobre la forma en que se interpreta y comprende la fotografía histórica y documental.

Gaetano Pesce

Adamson, Glenn

The definitive volume on Gaetano Pesce’s incomparable life and career, as told in the artist-designer’s own wordsIn a category all his own, Gaetano Pesce is widely considered one of the most important, and elusive, creative figures of the last half century. Bridging numerous key art and design movements, while never belonging to any of them, Pesce’s singular practice has remained steadfastly provocative, defying convention, utility, and good taste.Glenn Adamson, the acclaimed curator and writer, conducted the wide-ranging interview with Pesce on which this book is based, drawing out new stories and insights, as well as providing an introduction that thoroughly contextualizes Pesce’s unique position in contemporary art and design. As postmodern design has become increasingly desirable, interest in Pesce has grown with renewed exhibition activity and critical attention, and his work has become even more valuable and collectible.In this long overdue summary co-published with Salon 94, Pesce looks back at his incomparable and wildly inventive career, recounting his life and practice in his own words.

Art and Illusion
Hoy -5% en Libros

Gombrich, E.H.

Described by Kenneth Clark as 'one of the most brilliant books of art criticism that I have ever read', Art and Illusion is a classic study of image-making. It seeks to answer a simple question: why is there such a thing as style? The question may be simple but there is no easy answer, and Professor Gombrich's brilliant and wide-ranging exploration of the history and psychology of pictorial representation leads him into countless crucial areas.Gombrich examines, questions and re-evaluates old and new ideas on such matters as the imitation of nature, the function of tradition, the problem of abstraction, the validity of perspective and the interpretation of expression: all of which reveal that pictorial representation is far from being a straightforward matter.First published more than 40 years ago, Art and Illusion has lost none of its vitality and importance. In applying the findings of experimental science to a nuanced understanding of art and in tackling complex ideas and theoretical issues, Gombrich is rigorous. Yet he always retains a sense of wonder at the inexhaustible capacity of the human brain, and at the subtlety of the relationships involved in seeing the world and in making and seeing art.With profound knowledge and his exceptional gift for clear exposition, he advances each argument as an hypothesis to be tested. The problems of representation are forever fundamental to the history of art: Art and Illusion remains an essential text for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of art.For the sixth edition Professor Gombrich has written an entirely new 12-page preface, in which he makes use of the distinction between an image and a sign, so as to clarify his intentions in writing the book in the first place.
