“L'admirable cathédrale, restaurée, rapiécée, éreintée, est vraiment une grande chose morte, un gigantesque sépulcre. Elle se dresse encore en beauté sur le fleuve avec ses contreforts et ses béquilles. Tel fragment de ses assises émeut toujours par sa force : on croirait ces pierres issues du sol, et c'est en nous le même sentiment de vénération que devant un arbre de cinq cents ans au milieu d'une clairière. Telle sculpture aussi enivre par sa beauté délicate, le sens de la vie qu'elle manifeste.” L’écrivain, journaliste et historien de l’art Gustave Geffroy (1855‐1926) propose ici une promedade de deux heures sur les deux îles au coeur de Paris. Livre publié à l’occasion de l’exposition au Louvre sur Notre‐Dame de Paris, automne 2023.

Can you live a lie?It’s a ghost town, this place that haunts me, the one that made me.It’s clear to me that I’ll never outgrow Triple Falls or outlive the time I spent here.I can still feel them all, my boys of summer.Even when I’d sensed the danger, I gave in.I didn’t heed a single warning. I let my sickness, my love, both rule and ruin me. I played my part, eyes wide open, tempting fate until it delivered.There was never going to be an escape.All of us are to blame for what happened. All of us serving our own sentences. We were careless and reckless, thinking our youth made us indestructible, exempt from our sins, and it cost us all.I’m done pretending I didn’t leave the largest part of me between these hills and valleys, between the sea of trees that hold my secrets.It’s the reason I’m back. To make peace with my fate.And if I can’t grieve enough to cure myself in my time here, I’ll remain sick. That will be my curse.But it’s time to confess, to myself more so than any other, that I’d hindered my chances because of the way I was built, and because of the men who built me.At this point, I just want to make peace with who I am, no matter what ending I get.Because I can no longer live a lie.

Ce ''P'tits docs'' retrace l'histoire de ce monument parisien si connu. Inaugurée lors de l'Exposition universelle de 1889, elle était le plus haut bâtiment existant de l'époque. La tour devait être démontée, mais Gustave Eiffel l'a sauvée en en faisant un paratonnerre. Elle a aussi servi d'antenne radio pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, puis de radio grand public plus tard. Aujourd'hui, les gratte-ciels l'ont dépassée, mais elle fait partie de l'histoire et continue de fasciner petits et grands.

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

Obra ganadora del Premi LlibreterThe Promise charts the crash and burn of a white South African family, living on a farm outside Pretoria. The Swarts are gathering for Ma's funeral. The younger generation, Anton and Amor, detest everything the family stand for -- not least the failed promise to the Black woman who has worked for them her whole life. After years of service, Salome was promised her own house, her own land... yet somehow, as each decade passes, that promise remains unfulfilled.The narrator's eye shifts and blinks: moving fluidly between characters, flying into their dreams deliciously lethal in its observation. And as the country moves from old deep divisions to its new so-called fairer society, the lost promise of more than just one family hovers behind the novel's title.In this story of a diminished family, sharp and tender emotional truths hit home. Confident, deft and quietly powerful, The Promise is literary fiction at its finest.

I have killed several people (some brutally, others calmly) and yet I currently languish in jail for a murder I did not commit.When I think about what I actually did, I feel somewhat sad that nobody will ever know about the complex operation that I undertook. Getting away with it is highly preferable, of course, but perhaps when I’m long gone, someone will open an old safe and find this confession. The public would reel. After all, almost nobody else in the world can possibly understand how someone, by the tender age of 28, can have calmly killed six members of her family. And then happily got on with the rest of her life, never to regret a thing.When Grace Bernard discovers her absentee millionaire father has rejected her dying mother’s pleas for help, she vows revenge, and sets about to kill every member of his family. Readers have a front row seat as Grace picks off the family one by one – and the result is as and gruesome as it is entertaining in this wickedly dark romp about class, family, love… and murder.But then Grace is imprisoned for a murder she didn’t commit.Outrageously funny, compulsive and subversive, perfect for fans of Killing Eve and My Sister, the Serial Killer.

Hona zein den tragedia shakespearetar eta komedia txe-khovtar baten arteko alde nagusia: Shakespeareren tragedia baten amaieran agertokia gorpuz betea dagoela, pertsonaia hilez, eta beharbada justizia nagusitu da, beharbada. Txekhoven antzezlan baten bukaeran, jende guztia desilusionatua dago, guztiz joa, atsekabetua, adoregabetua, baina bizirik. Eta nik bizitza osoan sinetsi izan dut borroka egin behar genukeela, ez gatazka baten amaiera zoriontsu bat izateko –gatazken amaiera zoriontsuetan ez dut nik sinesten–, soluzio txekhovtar bat izateko baizik. ––––––––––––––––– Der grösste Unterschied zwischen der Shakespear’schen Tragödie und der Tschechow’schen Komödie liegt darin, dass am Ende der Tragödie nach Shakespeare die Bühne bedeckt ist mit Leichen, und vielleicht hat die Gerechtigkeit gesiegt, vielleicht. Am Ende eines Stückes von Tschechow sind alle enttäuscht, erschüttert, untröstlich, gebrochen – aber am Leben. Seit ich denken kann bin ich davon überzeugt, dass es nicht darum geht, für das glückliche Ende von Konflikten zu kämpfen – ich glaube bei Konflikten gibt es kein Happy End – sondern für eine Tschechowsche Lösung. ––––––––––––––––– La principal diferencia entre una tragedia de Shakespeare y una comedia de Chejov es que al finalizar una tragedia de Shakespeare el escenario está cubierto de cadáveres y quizás –solo quizás– se haya impuesto la justicia. Al término de una comedia de Chejov, todo el mundo está decepcionado, afligido, derrotado o desencantado, pero vivo. Y toda mi vida he pensado que deberíamos luchar no por un final feliz del conflicto –nunca he creído en los finales felices de los conflictos–, sino por una solución chejoviana.

La más alegre de sus novelas según Nabokov mismo. «Este fogoso animal es la más alegre de mis novelas», dijo Nabokov de Rey, Dama, Valet, una sátira en la que un jovencito miope, provinciano, mojigato y desprovisto de sentido del humor irrumpe en el frío paraíso de un matrimonio de nuevos ricos berlineses. La esposa seduce al recién llegado y le convierte en su amante. Poco después le convence para intentar eliminar al marido. Éste es el aparentemente sencillo planteamiento de la más clásica, quizá, de las novelas escritas por Nabokov. Pero, tras esa aparente ortodoxia se oculta una notable complejidad técnica, y, sobre todo, un tratamiento singular presidido por el tono de farsa.Publicada originalmente en Berlín, a finales de los años veinte, y ampliamente reelaborada por Nabokov en el momento de su traducción al inglés, a finales de los sesenta, Rey, Dama, Valet muestra un fuerte influjo del expresionismo alemán, especialmente del cinematográfico, y contiene un auténtico derroche de humor negro.Nabokov vapulea a sus personajes, los convierte en autómatas, se ríe de ellos a diabólicas carcajadas, caricaturizándolos con gruesos trazos que no impiden, sin embargo, que posean una verosimilitud que proporciona sostenida amenidad a toda la novela.

La autora despliega toda su experiencia en la narración breve atrapando al lector a través del desarrollo psicológico de los protagonistas y su actitud ante las situaciones a las que se ven enfrentados, una mujer con hipermnesia violada, el enamoramiento del superviviente de un accidente aéreo, la valentía de una ejecutiva en su oficina frente a un terrorista La mente del ser humano, en medio de la excepcionalidad, perfectamente reflejada gracias a la habitual capacidad de la nueva ''dama de la novela negra'' para engancharnos desde el primer momento, con austeridad narrativa pero con la carga emocional necesaria en cada línea. El ilustrador, con su visión lírica, apoya y enriquece cada relato empapándose, con sutileza, en la arquitectura de los mismos pero sin coartar la imaginación del lector ni traicionar al texto, convirtiendo sus pinturas, al mismo tiempo, en indisolubles del mismo. Una obra literaria excepcional convertida en una joya gracias a la unión creativa de dos mentes extraordinarias.

When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master Mr Jones and take over the farm themselves, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality. But gradually a cunning, ruthless élite among them, masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, starts to take control. Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as equal as they thought, and find themselves hopelessly ensnared as one form of tyranny is replaced with another.

'Shoot all the Bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a Mockingbird.'A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the thirties. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much-

Bill Bryson has the rare knack of being out of his depth wherever he goes - even (perhaps especially) in the land of his birth. This became all too apparent when, after nearly two decades in England, the world's best-loved travel writer upped sticks with Mrs Bryson, little Jimmy et al. and returned to live in the country he had left as a youth.Of course there were things Bryson missed about Blighty but any sense of loss was countered by the joy of rediscovering some of the forgotten treasures of his childhood: the glories of a New England autumn, the pleasingly comical sight of oneself in shorts, and motel rooms where you can generally count on being awakened in the night by a piercing shriek and the sound of a female voice pleading, 'Put the gun down, Vinnie, I'll do anything you say.'Whether discussing the strange appeal of breakfast pizza or the jaw-slackening direness of American TV, Bill Bryson brings his inimitable brand of bemused wit to bear on that strangest of phenomena - the American way of life...

WINNER OF THE FOOTBALL BOOK OF THE YEAR'This is a masterfully written history of the world's greatest football club. Més que un book!' - GARY LINEKERFrom the bestselling co-author of Soccernomics comes the story of how FC Barcelona became the most successful football club in the world - and how that envied position now hangs in the balance.Barça is not just the world's most popular sports club, it is simply one of the most influential organisations on the planet. With almost 250 million followers on social media and 4 million visitors to its Camp Nou stadium each year, there's little wonder its motto is 'More than a club'. But it was not always so. In the past three decades, Barcelona has transformed from regional team to global powerhouse, becoming a model of sporting excellence and a consistent winner of silverware.Simon Kuper unravels exactly how these transformations took place. He outlines the organisational structure behind the club's business decisions, and details the work of its coaches, medics, data analysts and nutritionists who have revolutionised the sporting world. And, of course, he studies the towering influence of the club's two greatest legends, Johan Cruyff and Lionel Messi.Like many leading global businesses, FC Barcelona closely guards its secrets, granting few outsiders a view behind the scenes. But, after decades of writing about the sport and the club, Kuper was given unprecedented access to the inner sanctum and to the people who strive daily to keep Barcelona at the top.Erudite, personal, and capturing all the latest successes and upheavals, his portrait of this incredible institution goes beyond football to understand Barça as a unique social, cultural, and political phenomenon.''I began my research thinking I was going to be explaining Barca's rise to greatness, and I have, but I've also ended up charting the decline and fall.''

Anthropological theory can radically transform our understanding of human experience and offer theologians an introduction to the interdisciplinary nature between anthropology and Christianity.Both sociocultural anthropology and theology have made fundamental contributions to our understanding of human experience and the place of humanity in the world. But can these two disciplines, despite the radical differences that separate them, work together to transform their thinking on these topics? Robbins argues that they can. To make this point, he draws on key theological discussions of atonement, eschatology, interruption, passivity, and judgement to rethink important anthropological debates about such topics as ethical life, radical change, the ways people live in time, agency, gift giving, and the nature of humanity. The result is both a major reconsideration of important aspects of anthropological theory through theological categories and a series of careful readings of influential theologians such as Moltmann, Pannenberg, Jüngel, and Dalferth informed by rich ethnographic accounts of the lives of Christians from around the world. In conclusion, Robbins draws on contemporary discussions of secularism to interrogate the secular foundations of anthropology and suggests that the differences between anthropology and theology surrounding this topic can provide a foundation for transformative dialogue between them, rather than being an obstacle to it. Written as a work of interdisciplinary anthropological theorizing, this book also offers theologians an introduction to some of the most important ground covered by burgeoning field of the anthropology of Christianity while guiding anthropologists into core areas of theological discussion. Although theoretically ambitious, the book is clearly argued throughout and written to be accessible to all readers in the social sciences, theology, and religious studies interested in the place of religion in social life and human experience.
