Set in a German spa town wracked by climate change, this intense, enthralling debut explores trust, abuse, and solidarity through the unexpected bond between two women.When Iris took over the family hotel from her grandfather, Bad Heim was still a popular spa town. But now fierce forest fires rage in the area, spewing smoke into the air. The summers are dry and hot and never seem to end. Guests have become a rare sight. But suddenly, a young mother shows up with her small daughter and asks for a room. Something doesn’t seem right about her. Does she need help? Or even pose a threat?Franziska Gänsler’s debut conjures up the heat of the fires, the ashes falling on skin, and the all-pervading smell of smoke. Yet you will want to stay with these women in this inhospitable place as they draw closer together and prepare to fight for their freedom.

Cosmetic surgeries are at an all-time high, Ozempic is bringing back 'heroin chic' and TikTok trad-wives are on the rise - after four waves of feminism, what went wrong?Despite decades of progress, the gains of the feminist movement feel more fragile than ever. But as Atlantic critic and Pulitzer Prize finalist Sophie Gilbert points out, this is not a unique moment. Feminism felt just as fragmented in the early 2000s, when the momentum of third-wave feminists and riot grrrls was squashed by lad culture and the commodification of Girl Power.Casting her eye across pop culture of the past thirty years - from Madonna, the Spice Girls and the Kardashians, to MySpace, #GirlBoss and Real Housewives - Sophie Gilbert reveals a toxic pattern of progress and misogynistic backlash. Girl on Girl shows how every form of media, heavily influenced by the rise of porn, has shaped and warped women's relationships with themselves and other women.We cannot move forward without fully reckoning with the ways pop culture has defined us - this book shows us how.

Con Ceremonia de despedida, Marcelo Rioseco regresa a una escritura de orden metafísico, la cual sigue el hilo conductor de libros anteriores respecto a temáticas concernientes a la extranjería, donde se produce un desdoblamiento del hablante lírico por su condición de inmigrante radicado en Oklahoma, Estados Unidos. A partir de dicha irradiación surgen libros como La vida doméstica (2016) y Olivia en los suburbios (2020), por citar solo dos de sus últimas entregas. El poema que da inicio al volumen, es una clara muestra de ello y se titula, “También son extranjeros”. Allí escribe: “Para el desterrado no hay patria ni casa / ni forma de regresar. / Se ha caminado / demasiado y todas las ciudades se parecen”. Sin embargo, el poeta tiene un lugar en el mundo, y ese lugar es el lenguaje y Rioseco lo utiliza de manera maestra. Su país natal es la metáfora de lo que ya no se puede asir, y a la vez, se desmorona y linda con lo fantasmagórico, características propias de nuestra época. Por lo mismo, su obra es actual y nos podemos leer en ella. En “Regresar a la patria”, escribe: “Regresar a la patria, / arrastrando otro país a cuestas, sentados ahora alrededor de una mesa / rodeados de extranjeros”.La poesía de Marcelo Rioseco, en estas páginas, nos invita a reflexionar sobre la muerte, lo filial, dios y, finalmente, la existencia. Su mirada es incisiva y aguda, dejando en el lector más interrogantes que respuestas. Esto resulta singular, pues constituye, a fin de cuentas, el trasfondo de todo lo metafísico.

Nuclear war begins with a blip on a radar screen.This is a minute-by-minute account of what comes next.It has to be read to be believed.There is only one scenario other than an asteroid strike that could end the world as we know it in a matter of hours: nuclear war.Until now, no one outside official circles has known exactly what would happen if a rogue state launched a nuclear missile at the Pentagon. Second by second and minute by minute, these are the real-life protocols that choreograph the end of civilization.Decisions that affect hundreds of millions of lives need to be made within six minutes, based on partial information, in the knowledge that once launched, nothing is capable of halting the destruction.Based on dozens of new interviews with military and civilian experts who have built the weapons, been privy to the response plans, and taken responsibility for crucial decisions, this is the only account of what a nuclear exchange would look like.Nuclear War is at once a compulsive non-fiction thriller and a powerful argument that we must rid ourselves of these world-ending weapons for ever.

Filippo Brunelleschi is at once the most famous and most misunderstood architect of the Renaissance. The founding architect of the movement that led the way to modernity, his originality was not expressed in words or theory but rather in the materials he used, the scenography of space he engineered, the ingenuity of his designs, the exquisite workmanship of his detailing and the strikingly creative reworking of classical elements that make up his buildings. Marvin Trachtenberg offers a new view of Brunelleschi’s brilliant career as well as his life, guiding the reader through his most iconic works in Florence. In the process, this book sheds light on the driven, competitive culture of Renaissance Italy. This is an original, lively account of a key Renaissance figure.

Estuche que incluye las novelas Volver a Canfranc y El cielo sobre Canfranc. Marzo de 1943. Agazapados dentro de una habitación secreta, varias personas contienen la respiración mientras aguardan a que el sonido de las botas reforzadas con metal de los soldados alemanes se aleje. En la estación internacional de Canfranc, en el Pirineo, la esvástica ondea sobre la playa de vías. En medio de la oscuridad, Laurent Juste, jefe de la aduana, Jana Belerma, camarera del hotel, y el bandolero Esteve Durandarte arriesgan sus vidas para devolverles la libertad.Volver a Canfranc es su historia. Jana y Esteve, armados tan solo con la valentía que da el amor, lucharon porque miles de ciudadanos judíos consiguieran atravesar esta estación mítica. Además de ellos, otras personas guiadas por la generosidad decidieron enfrentar el terror y ayudarlos. Para miles de perseguidos por el régimen nazi la esperanza se llamó Canfranc. Sinopsis de El cielo sobre Canfranc Canfranc, 1944. La joven Valentina Báguena, colaboradora de la Resistencia contra las fuerzas de ocupación nazis en el sur de Francia, descubre que la guerra cambia por completo la forma de vivir, de pensar y, sobre todo, de amar cuando conoce al paracaidista alemán Franz Geist el mismo día en que un incendio destruye el pueblo de Canfranc. Tras la devastación producida por el fuego, los habitantes de este lugar serán víctimas, además, de una de las mayores estafas de la historia de España. Un hecho de dimensiones extraordinarias, pero casi desconocido hasta ahora. El cielo sobre Canfranc es una novela que late desde el corazón del Pirineo para desplegarse después hacia sus otros escenarios aragoneses, gallegos y franceses. Rosario Raro vuelve con esta obra al territorio mítico de su exitosa Volver a Canfranc, para mostrarnos que, a veces, el tren equivocado puede llevarnos a la estación correcta.

For fans of Station Eleven or Birnam Wood a literary novel with a dystopian world as its setting and at its heart is a human story about compassion in times of great adversity. In a future San Francisco transformed by years of rain, Bo, a 40-year-old lapsed artist, is grieving the community she’s lost to catastrophic flooding. Her friends and family have disappeared or fled, the streets are rivers, and the buildings are falling apart. Yet on the day of her planned departure, Bo finds a note slipped under her door: I need help, it reads. Three days a week, afternoons. Can pay in cash. Unable to bring herself to board the ship that could save her life, Bo instead chooses to answer the note, which turns out to have been written by her neighbour Mia, a 130-year-old “supercentenarian” long abandoned by her own family.

How the need for closure has shaped history, determines our future and understanding it can transform your lifeHow much do we reply upon certainty? And, how does the way we deal with uncertainty impact our future and our lives?Uncertainty is one of the defining issues of our time. The stability we once had is disappearing, and fast. Vast changes in society are shifting our realities: extraordinary numbers of immigrants and refugees are upsetting the demographic, and the cultural and religious foundations of nations. Changing attitudes and approaches to employment, with an increase in freelance and temporary work undermines people's ability to plan for the future. And, there is an ever decreasing sense of trust in what once hallowed: the government, the media, in education, religion, in medicine. Instead, the internet provides us with a wave of conflicting advice.When we can no longer make sense of the world together, insecurity takes over. We develop anxiety and confusion about our purpose, and in searching for certainty find it in autocratic leaders and populism. Democracy begins to fade as our uncertainty grows.If we are aware of our need for certainty, and understand why we behave instinctively in the way that we do, we can better understand how stress and pressure affects our decisions. We can shed light not only on historical trends but understand how we change those trends for the future.
