Gaiman, Neil

The great Norse myths, which have inspired so much of modern fiction, are dazzlingly retold by Neil Gaiman. Tales of dwarfs and frost giants, of treasure and magic, and of Asgard, home to the gods: Odin the all-father, highest and oldest of the Aesir, his mighty son Thor, whose hammer Mjollnir makes the mountain giants tremble, Loki, wily and handsome, reliably unreliable in his lusts, and Freya, who spurns those who seek to control her.From the dawn of the world to the twilight of the gods, this is a vivid retelling of the Norse myths from the award-winning, bestselling Neil Gaiman.

The adventures of Sherlock Holmes
Hoy -5% en Libros

Doyle, Arthur Conan

Having firmly established the characters of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson in the novels A Study in Scarlet and The Sign of the Four, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was retained by The Strand Magazine to contribute a series of twelve short stories, which began with A Scandal in Bohemia in 1891 and were published monthly for the next year. The stories, in which the master sleuth receives a stream of clients presenting him with baffling and bizarre mysteries in his consulting room at 221B Baker Street, were instantly popular and by the time of the publication of the final story, The Copper Beeches, they had become the mainstay of the magazine. They included such classic tales as The Five Orange Pips and The Adventure of the Speckled Band, and were gathered together in a collection known as The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, representing some of the finest detective stories ever written.

Hoy -5% en Libros

Aldecoa, Francisco

'This book brings together the main contributions contained in the books published by the Spanish Federal Council of the European Movement (CFEME) over the last four years on the subject of EU federal developments and the future of Europe. The aim of this book is to present the political thinking of the Spanish European Movement and its action plans for the 2019-2024 political cycle, focusing on the unique advances that have taken place in the European Union in a federal key. The authors are mainly part of the executive committee of the CFEME and some other are professors, politicians and prominent diplomats linked to the CFEME. A group of young people from the European Movement are also involved. The Spanish Federal Council of the European Movement is a plural, intergenerational association, made up of different types of professionals (although teachers predominate), interregional, and also international, as it includes colleagues from national sections of the International European Movement: Virgilio Dastoli, President of the Italian European Movement, and Yves Bertoncini, Former President of the French European Movement, among others. Finally, it should be noted that the articles featured include illustrious figures in European politics, who have held positions of high responsibility, such as Enrique Barón, President of the European Parliament (1989-1992) and President of the International European Movement (1987-1989), José María Gil-Robles, President of the European Parliament (1997- 1999) and President of the International European Movement (1999-2005), and Josep Borrell, High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (2019-present). We also include a chapter on Spain's role in the European Union since its entry into the EU in 1986, featuring prominent politicians, ministers, ambassadors and secretaries of state, among others, who enrich the vision of Spain within Europe, and not only the analysis of the latest events of the last legislature.

Supercommunicators
Hoy -5% en Libros

Duhigg, Charles

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Habit, a fascinating exploration of what makes conversations work, and how we can all learn to be Supercommunicators at work and in life. We all know people who are capable of connecting with almost anyone. They're the ones we love talking to, who we turn to for advice, who hear what we are trying to say and make us feel seen. What do they know about conversation that makes them so special? Supercommunicators, Charles Duhigg argues, understand that whenever we speak, we're actually participating in one of three conversations: practical (What's this really about?), emotional (How do we feel?), and social (Who are we?). If you don't know what kind of conversation you're having, connection is hard.Skilled communicators know the importance of recognizing and then matching each kind of conversation, and how to hear the complex emotions, subtle negotiations, and hidden beliefs that color so much of what we say and how we listen. Our experiences, our values, our emotional lives, and how we see ourselves, and others, shape every discussion, from who will pick up the kids to how we want to be treated at work. With his trademark clarity and storytelling, Duhigg shows readers how to recognize these three conversations&mdashand teaches us the skills we need to navigate them more successfully. Communication is a superpower. By bringing readers into jury deliberations and fraught CIA recruitments, into Netflix's companywide conversations about equity and the writers's room of The Big Bang Theory, we learn why some people are able to make themselves heard and to hear others so clearly. We learn how to identify and leverage the hidden layers that lurk beneath every conversation. In the end, we learn a simple but powerful lesson: With the right tools, we can connect with anyone.

Queen of the sea: a history of Lisbon
Hoy -5% en Libros

Hatton, Barry

Lisbon's charm is legendary, but its vibrant 2,000-year history is not widely known, from its Roman legacy to its centuries under Moorish rule. Its journey from port town to Portugal's capital was not always smooth sailing--in 1755 the city was devastated by the largest earthquake ever to strike modern Europe, followed by a catastrophic tsunami and a six-day inferno that turned sand to glass.Barry Hatton unearths these forgotten memories in a vivid account of Lisbon's colourful past and present, bringing to life the 1147 siege during the Iberian reconquista, the assassination of the king, the founding of a republic and the darkness of a modern dictatorship. He reveals the rich, international heritage of Portugal's metropolis--the gateway to the Atlantic and the unrivalled Queen of the Sea.

Milton Glasser: Pop
Hoy -5% en Libros

Heller, Steven

Milton Glaser's designs changed the way we see the world.' - Gloria Steinem.An overview of the work of illustrator and designer Milton Glaser during the 1960s and 70sFrom 1954, when he co-founded the legendary Push Pin Studios, to the late ’70s, Milton Glaser was one of the most celebrated graphic designers of his day, whose work graced countless book and album covers, posters, magazine covers, and advertisements, both famous and little-known. Glaser largely defined the international visual style for illustration, advertising, and typeface design and interest in his legacy continues unabated, with modern creatives acknowledging his influence, for example, in 2014 Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner enlisted Glaser to design the ad campaign and branding for the show’s final season.His renowned work garnered solo exhibitions at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Creator of the iconic ‘I love NY’ logo (featuring a heart symbol in place of the word ‘love’) and cofounder of New York magazine, Glaser received numerous accolades and lifetime achievement awards. Across thousands of works across all print media, he invented a graphic language of bright, flat color, drawing and collage, imbued with wit. This collection of work from Glaser’s Pop period features hundreds of examples of his design that have not been seen since their original publication, demonstrating the graphic revolution that transformed design and popular culture.

The United Nations and collective security in the face of global threats: from Ukraine and Russia to Iran, Syria and Afghanistan (Papel + e-book)
Hoy -5% en Libros

García Magariño, Sergio

This book covers some of the key global dynamics of our age. It aspires to assist the non-specialized reader, as well as the specialized one, to understand the world we live in, the forces that affect our coexistence, the trends that will shape our future and the promising avenues for peace and prosperity. Globalization, collective security, the connection between human rights, development and peace will be some of the concepts upon which the book aims to shed some light in a rigorous but a didactic manner. In addition, those complex cases that rarely are explained in the divulgative media, such as the functioning of the United Nations and its mechanisms for conflict resolution, Daesh and Al-Qaeda, the Palestinian conflict, the Arab Spring, the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan and the violence in Afrika will be examined balancing the details with the need to be pedagogical. In brief, this work is an attempt, on the one hand, to describe and explain the forces and threats that were present and contributed to the upsurge of coronavirus pandemics, such as climate change and the exploitation of nature and, on the other, to set some hopeful paths and to inform policies to rearrange our order: if social dynamics are global, global should be our political governance too. Finally, the book approaches, from an innovative and enlightening manner, the ins and outs of the Russian aggression to Ukraine.

Julian Schnabel
Hoy -5% en Libros

Holzwarth, Hans Werner

Julian Schnabel convierte la vida en arte y encuentra los asuntos de sus obras en el tejido de lo cotidiano. Utiliza platos rotos como soporte inesperado para sus cuadros y pinta sobre terciopelo, cubiertas de puestos de mercado, fondos de teatro kabuki, lonas militares y de cuadriláteros de boxeo: materiales encontrados que aportan su propia historia a la exploración del artista. Tras el éxito fulgurante de su primera exposición individual en Nueva York en 1979, que lo convirtió en el abanderado del regreso de la pintura, trabajó con todo tipo de medios: realizó esculturas que trasponen sus pinturas al espacio tridimensional como artefactos en bruto, aparentemente desgastados por el paso del tiempo, dirigió películas premiadas que retratan a artistas y otras figuras sutilmente heroicas, e incluso hizo realidad su sueño de construir un palacio veneciano en Nueva York. ''Quiero que mi vida esté en mi obra, comprimida en mi pintura como un coche prensado. De lo contrario, mi trabajo solo son cosas'', ha dicho Schnabel, y esta urgencia impregna su obra sin importar qué soportes o medios elija. Esta monografía de TASCHEN, realizada en estrecha colaboración con el artista, está ahora disponible en una edición popular que presenta la rica variedad de la obra de Schnabel con una profundidad sin precedentes.  Completan el volumen textos de amigos y colaboradores: Laurie Anderson elabora una semblanza íntima de Schnabel, en tres ensayos de comisarios e historiadores del arte, Éric de Chassey analiza la pintura, Bonnie Clearwater la escultura y Max Hollein sus obras in situ, Donatien Grau escribe sobre el Palazzo Chupi, la extravagante casa del artista en el West Village de Nueva York, y el novelista Daniel Kehlmann explora su obra cinematográfica. Esta edición le permitirá estudiar las superficies y las acciones y gestos artísticos de Schnabel, y le dará la oportunidad de sentir su arte de un modo que solo experimentarlo en persona puede superar.

SENSATIONAL WINNERS OF THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZEIn the tempestuous summer of 2005, a local veterinarian becomes enraptured by a 14-year-old farmer's daughter - his 'favourite' - as he tends her father's cows. This deeply troubled soul is our narrator: a man who believes he offers the object of his love a tantalizing path out of the constrictions of her conservative rural life, a chance to escape to a world of fantasy. But the obsessive reliance he cultivates builds into a terrifying trap, with a crime and confession at the heart of it that threatens to rip their small community apart.An unflinching excavation of taboos and social norms, My Heavenly Favourite is a torrent of grief and obsession. The remarkable and chilling successor to Lucas Rijneveld's international sensation, The Discomfort of Evening, this profane novel is powered by the paradoxical beauty of its prose, which holds the reader fast to the page.
