André Breton y los datos fundamentales del surrealismo
Michel Carrouges · 2008
El autor analiza conceptos como la escritura automática o el azar objetivo y describe las ligazones del surrealismo con la pintura, mostrando cómo, a partir de André Breton, el surrealismo supuso un acto de rebelión del subconsciente humano contra el corsé de la ortodoxia racionalista, como actitud vital más allá del arte, que rompe con la educación tradicional. Breton mantuvo una actitud de militancia que ejemplifica el compromiso del creador con su trabajo y del ser humano consigo mismo, defendiendo el valor de la palabra como artefacto capaz de reformular el mundo.

New Aesthetic 2
Leonhard Laupichler, Sophia Brinkgerd
"Dive deep into contemporary type design and visual communication with our New Aesthetic bundle. This collection brings together the first three volumes of the acclaimed series, offering a comprehensive exploration of experimental and independent type design. New Aesthetic looks at experimental and independent type design as an intersection of art and design. Typography has established itself in our increasingly graphic culture as an essential component--whether in print or on screen--serving to strengthen visual messages. The traditional form of type was built around the way we read and write. We live in a time of transformation and adaption, however: our world is experiencing great changes and habits now accommodate new technologies as they appear. What if we saw typography in a more playful context? Not necessarily as a final outcome but rather an experimental process? There is potential in blurring and obfuscating the lines of legibility and practicality, pushing the boundaries of emotional expressiveness and allowing for unusual approaches in modern design. New Aesthetic is interested in creating an environment where the expressive side of typography design is celebrated, with attention paid to innovative solutions as well as creative ambition"--Distributor's website.

Karel Martens - Re-Printed Matter (Roma publication)
Karel Martens · 2019
<p>Karel Martens occupies an intriguing place in the current European landscape of art and design. His work is both personal and experimental, but also publicly answerable. Martens, a prolific book designer, has also contributed to a wide range of design commissions, including stamps, coins, and signs. His artistic practice is intimately connected with this design work, from geometric and kinetic constructions, to works on paper and monoprints. Covering almost 60 years of practice and now in its fourth edition, this book offers new ways to look at and discuss the output of this designer and artist, and is offered in the same spirit of experiment and dialogue that characterises the work it presents.</p>

Wuthering Heights
Emily Bronte · 2002
<b>Coming soon to the big screen is Emerald Fennell’s feature film “<i>Wuthering Heights</i>,” which captures the spirit of this epic love story and stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as Catherine and Heathcliff.<br></b><br>Emily Brontë's only novel endures as a work of tremendous and far-reaching influence. The Penguin Classics edition is the definitive version of the text, edited with an introduction by Pauline Nestor.<br><br>Lockwood, the new tenant of Thrushcross Grange, situated on the bleak Yorkshire moors, is forced to seek shelter one night at Wuthering Heights, the home of his landlord. There he discovers the history of the tempestuous events that took place years before. What unfolds is the tale of the intense love between the gypsy foundling Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. Catherine, forced to choose between passionate, tortured Heathcliff and gentle, well-bred Edgar Linton, surrendered to the expectations of her class. As Heathcliff's bitterness and vengeance at his betrayal is visited upon the next generation, their innocent heirs must struggle to escape the legacy of the past. <br><br>In this edition, a new preface by Lucasta Miller, author of <i>The Brontë Myth</i>, looks at the ways in which the novel has been interpreted, from Charlotte Brontë onwards. This complements Pauline Nestor's introduction, which discusses changing critical receptions of the novel, as well as Emily Brontë's influences and background.

Rumi Matthews is desperate for a fresh start.<br/>As a single mom, Rumi's sole focus is providing for her daughter and giving her the life she never had—one filled with love and security. She never thought she would be strong enough to break the cycle of abuse, not until the night her boyfriend takes things too far. Fighting for her life, Rumi escapes, vowing to never let anything—or anyone—ever get close enough to hurt her or her daughter again.<br/>One year later, Rumi is content as a barista and thankful for the new best friend her job has given her. Though her circle is small, she is safe, and she is happy. But most importantly, so is her daughter. Yet Rumi can't help but wonder if she's still keeping the people around her at an arm's length. She doesn't need a partner—or want one after her last relationship—but maybe a few more friends couldn't hurt.<br/>Enter Jack Hastings, the grief-ridden firefighter who recently came back to town.<br/>After months of isolation—hiding in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, away from anything and anyone that reminds him of why he ran—Jack knows he needs to come home. He has yet to process his feelings about why he left in the first place and is now reeling with PTSD, but he’s back in town, convinced that he can just put it all behind him and move on. He’s struggling to reclaim a sense of purpose when he stumbles upon Rumi, full of questions she’s too afraid to ask and a resilience he can't ignore.<br/>The two find comfort in one another, learning to trust not only each other, but themselves too. Their connection slowly becomes something neither of them thought they were ready for but maybe something that could save them both. But, as their friendship deepens, will they be able to confront the pasts they’ve tried to outrun?<br/>Together, Rumi and Jack learn that not all is lost when everything around you seems to burn to the ground. But rather, it is possible for something new to rise from the ashes.

In a Rush
Kate Canterbary · 2025
Love forever, your (probably) future wife. Pro quarterback Ryan Ralston has always known two things. First, he's desperately in love with his best friend Emme Ahlborg. Second-and most importantly-he still has no idea how to tell her. The marriage pact they made in their senior yearbook was the closest he ever came. Years passed and Emme forgot about their promise. Ryan never did, especially not on his thirtieth birthday. Emme can't catch a break. Always unlucky in love, her cheating ex is a groomsman in her best friend's wedding--and there's no way she's showing up alone. Ryan offers her the one thing better than a wedding date: a revenge husband. And he's not just any fake husband but the NFL's brightest star...and in need of serious reputation rehab. Playing the part of the happy couple comes easy and soon enough, the lines between real and fake blur. They disappear altogether when there's just one bed. All Ryan has to do is save Emme from her ex, find her step-sister an internship, and get his wife to fall in love with him--or fumble the one thing he's ever wanted: her heart.--

The River Is Waiting
Wally Lamb · 2025
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of two Oprah Book Club Picks--She's Come Undone and I Know This Much Is True--Wally Lamb comes the propulsive story of a young father who, after an unbearable tragedy, reckons with the possibility of atonement for the unforgivable.<br/><br/>Corby Ledbetter is struggling. New fatherhood, the loss of his job, and a growing secret addiction have thrown his marriage to his beloved Emily into a tailspin. And that's before he causes the tragedy that tears the family apart. Sentenced to prison, Corby struggles to survive life on the inside, where he bears witness to frightful acts of brutality but also experiences small acts of kindness and elemental kinship with a prison librarian who sees his light and some of his fellow offenders, including a tender-hearted cellmate and a troubled teen desperate for a role model. Buoyed by them and by his mother's enduring faith in him, Corby begins to transcend the boundaries of his confinement, sustained by his hope that mercy and reconciliation might still be possible. Can his crimes ever be forgiven by those he loves?

The Paradise Problem

Christina Lauren, the instant New York Times bestselling and “reigning romance queens” (PopSugar), returns with a delicious new romance between the buttoned-up heir of a grocery chain and his free-spirited artist ex as they fake their relationship in order to receive a massive inheritance.<br/><br/>Anna Green thought she was marrying Liam “West” Weston for access to subsidized family housing while at UCLA. She also thought she’d signed divorce papers when the graduation caps were tossed, and they both went on their merry ways.<br/><br/>Three years later, Anna is a starving artist living paycheck to paycheck while West is a Stanford professor. He may be one of four heirs to the Weston Foods conglomerate, but he has little interest in working for the heartless corporation his family built from the ground up. He is interested, however, in his one-hundred-million-dollar inheritance. There’s just one catch.<br/><br/>Due to an antiquated clause in his grandfather’s will, Liam won’t see a penny until he’s been happily married for five years. Just when Liam thinks he’s in the home stretch, pressure mounts from his family to see this mysterious spouse, and he has no choice but to turn to the one person he’s afraid to introduce to his one-percenter parents—his unpolished, not-so-ex-wife.<br/><br/>But in the presence of his family, Liam’s fears quickly shift from whether the feisty, foul-mouthed, paint-splattered Anna can play the part to whether the toxic world of wealth will corrupt someone as pure of heart as his surprisingly grounded and loyal wife. Liam will have to ask himself if the price tag on his flimsy cover story is worth losing true love that sprouted from a lie.

But she's determined to keep up appearances, especially when it comes to concealing the bruises her husband's temper leaves behind. Until Cole Luciano moves into her best friend's house across the street. He's abrasive and rude, but his steel-blue eyes tell a different story--one with dark secrets that has Callie curious.

One Percent of You
Michelle Gross · 2019
Make no mistakes about it. I know what I look like to others. Young, government-aided, pregnant mom. They see Lucy on my hip, and they see a mistake. I mean, why else would someone have a child so young, right? They couldn’t be more wrong. I’m too busy most days between parenting, work, and finishing up my last year of nursing school to let their judging gaze tear me down until he moves into the vacant house next to the apartments I live in.His cold, blunt observation of us doesn’t differ from any other stranger. He doesn’t know me, but he’s already painting a picture of who he thinks I am in his mind. He judges my very round belly, Lucy’s inability to leave him alone, the bags under my eyes, and the fact that I couldn’t care less what I look like anymore.He’s a rude guy. Stays that way for months too. Then something happens, I’m not even sure what. Judgmental Guy decides Lucy and me—as well as baby Eli, are worth his friendship.Turns out, Judgmental Guy isn’t too mean—okay, he kind of still is. But he graduates to Elijah. I build an unlikely friendship with him which deems it necessary for him to start smiling around me and my kids. I’m wrong again. Elijah isn’t rude. He’s terrifying. His strange acts of kindness are unraveling me. Elijah is only my friend.Right? Oh, fudge. I think I’m wrong. Again.

Each day I prayed for my husband to love me again.After fifteen years together, he walked away from me, and into the arms of another.I didn't know how to cope. I didn't know my worth. I didn't know how to exist without him by my side.All I wanted was for him to come back to me.Then, Jackson Emery appeared.He was supposed to be a distraction for my mind. A summer fling. A confidence boost to my bruised heart.We were perfect for one another, because we both knew we wouldn't last. Jackson didn't believe in commitment, and I no longer believed in love. He was too closed-off for me, and I was too damaged for him.Everything was fine, until one night my heart skipped a beat.I didn't expect him to make me laugh. To make me think. To make my sadness somewhat disappear.When our time was up, my heart didn't know how to walk away.Each day I prayed for my husband to love me again, yet slowly my prayers began to shift toward the man who wasn't right for me. I prayed for one more smile, one more kiss, one more laugh, one more touch... I prayed for him to be mine.Even though I knew his heart wasn't destined to love.

How she's made it through the last two years of her life without killing anyone is nothing short of a miracle. Being a grown-up wasn't supposed to be so hard. With a new house, two little boys she inherited the most painful possible way, a giant dog, a job she usually loves, more than enough family, and friends, she has almost everything she could ever ask for.

That’s a different story…<br/>Getting hitched is the only way I can inherit Snowberry Lodge, and I’ll do anything to spare my childhood home from the wrecking ball–even wear Devlin Buckley’s ring on my finger.<br/>Not that I’ll enjoy it.<br/>Sure, he’s charming and handsome, and that no-last-names one night stand we shared ended with a fantastically big bang (I saw stars I hadn’t seen in six months, if you catch my drift).<br/>But I’ll never trust him–he was working for the company trying to bulldoze my life.<br/>Right up until the day he knocked on my door with an offer I couldn’t refuse.<br/>Marry him, and he’ll help me restore my family’s crumbling resort to its former glory–and get revenge on his ex-boss in the process. Once our goals are achieved, we’ll go our separate ways.<br/>It’s temporary. Strictly business. Purely for show.<br/>Until I realize how much I like it when he says "my wife."<br/>Once we’re sharing a last name–and a bed–our make-believe match starts to feel a little too real.<br/>And if I’m not careful, I could lose everything… my home, my dreams, and my heart.

The Match: A Romantic Comedy (It Happened in Charleston)

Having worked for Southern Service Paws for a few years now, I like to think I'm prepared for just about any client meeting under the sun. I am dead wrong. The day I meet with single dad, Jacob Broaden, about potentially matching his daughter with one of our service dogs, I learn a few valuable lessons. 1) Always set my alarm clock. 2) Single dads are way hotter than I previously thought. 3) It is possible to go from fantasizing about kissing someone to wishing they would be run over by a truck in a matter of two minutes. Unfortunately, I don't hold that opinion of him for very long. Not when he shows me a different side of himself--one that's sweet as maple syrup and hot as apple pie fresh out of the oven.Too bad this guy is so far out of my league that I shouldn't even be allowed to enter the game. Jake doesn't seem to get that memo though. And after a few days of working closely with him and his daughter, he starts looking at me with fire in his eyes, making me dream of something I probably shouldn't...A family.The Match is a feel-good romantic comedy! Perfect for readers who enjoy a sizzling romance without explicit content.
