Este alfabeto fotográfico vincula una letra inicial a un nombre paradigmático; al de aquellos para los que las letras constituyeron sus instrumentos y también el material de su trabajo. Así aparecen Benjamin, Goethe, Descartes, Holderlin o Lutero, pero podrian haber sido otrosBorges, Gongora, Darwin, Homero o Leopardisin que el poder de la inicial ni el del poder alegorico de la imagen asociada hubiera cedido para nada. Pueden ser en este libro las imagenes de un cementerio arruinado en la R de Rilke; la marca grafica de Bentley ligada al angel de la historia en la B de Benjamin; un viñedo nevado y mistico vinculado a la T de Teresa de Jesus; la extraña señalizacion de la L de Lutero vinculada a una decaida via urbana o el camion que en Unamuno se lleva la letra U como si se tratara de un ataud; pueden ser en este libro esas citas u otras, haciendo que la literatura simplemente evoque el sentido de las letras reducidas a imagenes puras, pero siempre identificadas en un entorno, para marcar mas su presencia concreta.

UK readers, you have a nice surprise coming. No, not Brexit, FEVER, by Deon Meyer. Reminiscent of THE STAND and THE PASSAGE. Great stuff' STEPHEN KINGI want to tell you about my Father's murder.I want to tell you who killed him and why.This is the story of my life.And the story of your life and your world too, as you will see.Nico Storm and his father drive across a desolate South Africa, constantly alert for feral dogs, motorcycle gangs, nuclear contamination. They are among the few survivors of a virus that has killed most of the world's population. Young as he is, Nico realises that his superb marksmanship and cool head mean he is destined to be his father's protector.But Willem Storm, though not a fighter, is a man with a vision. He is searching for a place that can become a refuge, a beacon of light and hope in a dark and hopeless world, a community that survivors will rebuild from the ruins. And so Amanzi is born. Fever is the epic, searing story of a group of people determined to carve a city out of chaos.

NORMAN MAILER: FOUR BOOKS OF THE 1960S

A New York Times top 100 Notable Book of the Year** Alexander Bruno is a man with expensive problems. Sporting a tuxedo and trotting the globe, he has spent his adult life as a professional gambler. His particular line of work: backgammon, at which he extracts large sums of money from men who think they can challenge his peerless acumen. In Singapore, his luck turned. Maybe it had something to do with the Blot - a black spot which has emerged to distort Bruno's vision. It's not showing any signs of going away. As Bruno extends his losing streak in Berlin, it becomes clinically clear that the Blot is the symptom of something terrible. There's a surgeon who can help, but surgery is going to involve a lot of money, and worse: returning home to the garish, hash-smoke streets of Berkeley, California. Here, the unseemly Keith Stolarsky - a childhood friend in possession of an empire of themed burger bars and thrift stores - is king. And he's willing to help Bruno out. But there was always going to be a price.

A Guardian / Sunday Times / Irish Times / Herald Scotland / Mail on Sunday Book of the Year Winner of the Bord Gais Novel of the Year `Midwinter Break is a work of extraordinary emotional precision and sympathy, about coming to terms - to an honest reckoning - with love and the loss of love, with memory and pain...this is a novel of great ambition by an artist at the height of his powers' Colm Toibin A retired couple, Gerry and Stella Gilmore, fly to Amsterdam for a midwinter break. A holiday to refresh the senses, to see the sights and to generally take stock of what remains of their lives. But amongst the wintry streets and icy canals we see their relationship fracturing beneath the surface. And when memories re-emerge of a troubled time in their native Ireland things begin to fall apart. As their midwinter break comes to an end, we understand how far apart they are - and can only watch as they struggle to save themselves.

Descubra la ciudad donde historia, espectáculo y sensualidad confluyen, donde las estatuas asombran con su armonía clásica o su dramatismo barroco, donde los cuellos se estiran para admirar la Capilla Sixtina y donde se encuentra la fuente de Trevi que Fellini puso en el mapa universal del cine. Rebosante de encantos y de dolce vita, este...Roma es el lugar en el que historia, espectaculo y sensualidad confluyen en cada esquina y donde el dramatismo barroco florece junto a las maravillas de la Antiguedad clasica. El lugar donde las miradas se elevan para admirar la Capilla Sixtina de Miguel Angel, donde Fellini rodo la Dolce Vita y Mussolini proyecto la ideologia fascista sobre los monumentales edificios de la Esposizione Universale Roma.Este impresionante retrato de Roma reune cientos de fotografias tomadas desde la decada de 1940 hasta hoy que exploran la extraordinaria historia, belleza y patrimonio artistico de esta incomparable capital cultural. La coleccion, compuesta de alrededor de 500 imagenes en sepia, blanco y negro, y color, reune a fotografos como Giacomo Caneva, Pompeo Molins, Giuseppe Primoli, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Carlo Bavagnoli, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Pasquale De Antonis, Peter Lindbergh, Slim Aarons y William Klein que muestran los diferentes rostros de esta ciudad que fue nucleo del antiguo Imperio romano y cuna del Renacimiento, y sigue siendo anhelado destino de viaje, con un variado mosaico de barrios, la sede del Vaticano y centro de la Iglesia catolica y romana, un escenario politico relevante y un perfecto telon de fondo para el cine y la moda.Fruto de un trabajo de rastreo por ilustres archivos fotograficos, las primeras paginas del libro nos ofrecen un Grand Tour privilegiado por los monumentos mas apreciados de Roma en el que el Coliseo, el Foro Romano y la escalinata de la plaza de España pueden contemplarse casi vacios. Las siguientes imagenes exploran los grandes contrastes de la urbe: desde las lujosas mansiones y las actividades de ocio de las clases privilegiadas hasta los puestos callejeros y la ropa tendida de los barrios obreros de Trastevere y Testaccio. Algunas fotografias de estilo documental nos muestran el funesto poder de Mussolini a traves de la iconografia que engalana la ciudad e imagenes de poder, esfuerzo atletico y patriotismo.A medida que la fotografia en color entra en escena, la ciudad transita de la estetica neorrealista a la recuperacion de posguerra y al hedonismo, con los glamurosos vestidos, las celebridades exoticas y la cultura de cafe de Via Veneto inmortalizados por Fellini. Numerosas caras famosas aparecen en esta obra: Louis Armstrong, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Marcello Mastroianni, Sophia Loren, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Anna Magnani y Valentino.

In this thoughtful and engaging book, Feargal Cochrane looks at Northern Ireland's "Troubles" from the late 1960s to the present day. He explains why, a decade and a half after the peace process ended in political agreement in 1998, sectarian attitudes and violence continue to plague Northern Ireland today. Former members of the IRA now sit alongside their unionist adversaries in the Northern Ireland Assembly, but the region's attitudes have been slow to change and recent years have even seen an upsurge in violence on both sides. In this book, Cochrane, who grew up a Catholic in Belfast in the '70s and '80s, explores how divisions between Catholics and Protestants became so entrenched, and reviews the thirty years of political violence in Northern Ireland-which killed over 3,500 people-leading up to the peace agreement. The book asks whether the peace process has actually delivered for the citizens of Northern Ireland, and what more needs to be done to enhance the current reluctant peace.
