Monet
Christoph Heinrich · 2015
Hailed the “Prince of the Impressionists”, Claude Monet (1840-1926) transformed expectations for the purpose of paint on canvas. Defying the precedent of centuries, Monet did not seek to render only reality, but the act of perception itself. Working “en plein air” with rapid, impetuous brush strokes, he interrogated the play of light on the hues, patterns, and contours and the way in which these visual impressions fall upon the eye.<br/><br/>Monet's interest in this space “between the motif and the artist” encompassed too the ephemeral nature of each image we see. In his beloved water lily series, as well as in paintings of poplars, grain stacks, and the Rouen cathedral, he returned to the same motif in different seasons, different weather conditions, and at different times of the day, to explore the constant mutability of our visual environment.<br/><br/>This book offers the essential introduction to an artist whose works simultaneously reflected upon the purpose of a picture and the passage of time, and in so doing transformed irrevocably the story of art.

With contextual essays and interviews covering the trilogy in its entirety, this book contains over 400 color and black-and-white images.</p><p>Schapiro's images take us behind the scenes of this epic and inimitable cinematic saga, revealing the director's working process, capturing the moods and personalities involved, and providing insight into the making of movie history.</p>
John Singer Sargent
Carter Ratcliff, John Singer Sargent · 2001
Sargent's enduring popularity has prompted a thoughtful reappraisal by prominent art critic Carter Ratcliff, who shows us the surprising breadth of the artist's work. Never before has a book so thoroughly represented that variety: 110 lavish color plates and more than 200 halftones convey the brilliance of his portraits, the exuberance of his watercolors, the stately pomp of his murals. It is perhaps the watercolors that are most exciting to contemporary eyes -- bold, spontaneous, and vividly hued, they have a breathtaking immediacy. <p>Born in Florence in 1856 to American parents, Sargent spent a nomadic childhood before going to Paris to study painting. He learned quickly and by the 1880s had begun the steady climb to fame that ultimately placed him at the center of his world, with a circle of friends and rivals that included Henry James, Claude Monet, and James McNeill Whistler. When Sargent died in 1925, a childhood companion wrote in her memorial that "the summing up of a would-be biographer must, I think be: He painted." It is the strikingly beautiful results of that lifelong devotion to his art that glow throughout the pages of this incomparable book.<br>

La muerte de Iván Ilich
Lev. N Tolstói · 2025
Cuando reciben la noticia de que ha muerto el juez Iván Ilich, sus colegas lo primero que piensan es que se ha producido una vacante y en lo que supondrá para ellos en materia de ascensos y traslados. Ya en casa del difunto, con él de cuerpo presente, la viuda está especialmente preocupada por el precio de la parcela del cementerio y por cómo conseguir del Estado un incremento de su pensión. A partir de aquí, la novela vuelve atrás para contarnos la vida de Iván Ilich, que siempre se esforzó en ser «ligera, agradable y decorosa» y dentro de un círculo social «de lo más selecto». Pero un día se da un golpe en el costado cuando señala a un tapicero cómo colocar unas cortinas y cae enfermo. Presa de un dolor insoportable que los médicos vacilan en diagnosticar y tratar, él va comprendiendo poco a poco que la muerte, al contrario de lo que creía, no es algo que únicamente les ocurre a los demás. Y en los extremos de su agonía se pregunta desesperadamente si su vida no habrá sido un error y una menti-ra, mientras un pretendiente pide la mano de su hija y toda la familia se viste de gala para ir al teatro a ver a Sarah Bernhardt. Solo un criado paciente, «alegre, radiante», no le engaña y se vuelca en aliviar su sufrimiento. La muerte de Iván Ilich (1886), para Nabókov«la obra más artística, la más perfecta y la más refinada de Tolstói», es una novela de una precisión y una sequedad impactantes, con toda la determinación de ser un revulsivo para las conciencias, y no es extraño que, pese a su brevedad, se haya convertido en una de las emblemáticas de su autor. Traducción de Joaquín Fernández-Valdés. Esta doble novela del cuerpo que se descompone y del alma que despierta es, sin duda, una de las más impresionantes de la literatura universal.

La Divina Comedia (Spanish Edition)
Dante Alighieri · 1321
La Divina Comedia es un poema donde se mezcla la vida real con la sobrenatural, muestra la lucha entre la nada y la inmortalidad, una lucha donde se superponen tres reinos, tres mundos, logrando una suma de múltiples visuales que nunca se contradicen o se anulan. Los tres mundos infierno, purgatorio y paraíso reflejan tres modos de ser de la humanidad, en ellos se reflejan el vicio, el pasaje del vicio a la virtud y la condición de los hombres perfectos. Es entonces a través de los viciosos, penitentes y buenos que se revela la vida en todas sus formas, sus miserias y hazañas, pero también se muestra la vida que no es, la muerte, que tiene su propia vida, todo como una mezcla agraciada planteada por Dante, que se vuelve arquitecto de lo universal y de lo sublime.
The Great Gatsby
F. Scott Fitzgerald · 1925
This is the definitive, textually accurate edition of a classic of twentieth-century literature, The Great Gatsby. The story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan has been acclaimed by generations of readers. But the first edition contained a number of errors resulting from Fitzgerald's extensive revisions and a rushed production schedule. Subsequent printings introduced further departures from the author's words. This edition, based on the Cambridge critical text, restores all the language of Fitzgerald's masterpiece. Drawing on the manuscript and surviving proofs of the novel, along with Fitzgerald's later revisions and corrections, this is the authorized text -- The Great Gatsby as Fitzgerald intended it.

A Little Life: A Novel
Hanya Yanagihara · 2015
NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST<br/><br/>SHORT-LISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE<br/><br/>Brace yourself for the most astonishing, challenging, upsetting, and profoundly moving book in many a season. An epic about love and friendship in the twenty-first century that goes into some of the darkest places fiction has ever traveled and yet somehow improbably breaks through into the light. Truly an amazement—and a great gift for its readers.<br/><br/>When four classmates from a small Massachusetts college move to New York to make their way, they're broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition. There is kind, handsome Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a quick-witted, sometimes cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their center of gravity. Over the decades, their relationships deepen and darken, tinged by addiction, success, and pride. Yet their greatest challenge, each comes to realize, is Jude himself, by midlife a terrifyingly talented litigator yet an increasingly broken man, his mind and body scarred by an unspeakable childhood, and haunted by what he fears is a degree of trauma that he’ll not only be unable to overcome—but that will define his life forever.<br/><br/>In rich and resplendent prose, Yanagihara has fashioned a tragic and transcendent hymn to brotherly love, a masterful depiction of heartbreak, and a dark examination of the tyranny of memory and the limits of human endurance.

Anna Karenina
Leo Tolstoy · 1877
Love... it means too much to me, far more than you can understand.At its simplest, Anna Karenina is a love story. It is a portrait of a beautiful and intelligent woman whose passionate love for a handsome officer sweeps aside all other ties - to her marriage and to the network of relationships and moral values that bind the society around her. The love affair of Anna and Vronsky is played out alongside the developingromance of Kitty and Levin, and in the character of Levin, closely based on Tolstoy himself, the search for happiness takes on a deeper philosophical significance. One of the greatest novels ever written,Anna Karenina combines penetrating psychological insight with an encyclopedic depiction of Russian life in the 1870s. The novel takes us from high society St Petersburg to the threshing fields on Levin's estate, with unforgettable scenes at a Moscow ballroom, the skating rink, a race course, a railway station. It creates an intricate labyrinth of connections that is profoundly satisfying, and deeply moving. Rosamund Bartlett's translation conveys Tolstoy'sprecision of meaning and emotional accuracy in an English version that is highly readable and stylistically faithful. Like her acclaimed biography of Tolstoy, it is vivid, nuanced, and compelling.
Los Hermanos Karamázov
Fiódor Dostoievski · 1880
El hombre en busca de sentido
Viktor Emil Frankl · 1946
El doctor Frankl, psiquiatra y escritor, suele preguntar a sus pacientes aquejados de multiples padecimientos: Por que no se suicida usted? Y muchas veces, de las respuestas extrae una orientacion para la psicoterapia a aplicar: a este, lo que le ata a la vida son los hijos; al otro, un talento, una habilidad sin explotar; a un tercero, quizas, solo unos cuantos recuerdos que merece la pena rescatar del olvido. Tejer estas tenues hebras de vidas rotas en una urdimbre firme, coherente, significativa y responsable es el objeto con que se enfrenta la logoterapia. En esta obra, Viktor E. Frankl explica la experiencia que le llevo al descubrimiento de la logoterapia. Prisionero, durante mucho tiempo, en los desalmados campos de concentracion, el mismo sintio en su propio ser lo que significaba una existencia desnuda. Como pudo el que todo lo había perdido, que habia visto destruir todo lo que valia la pena, que padecio hambre, frio, brutalidades sin fin, que tantas veces estuvo a punto del exterminio, como pudo aceptar que la vida fuera digna de vivirla? El psiquiatra que personalmente ha tenido que enfrentarse a tales rigores merece que se le escuche, pues nadie como el para juzgar nuestra condicion humana sabia y compasivamente. Las palabras del doctor Frankl alcanzan un temple sorprendentemente esperanzador sobre la capacidad humana de trascender sus dificultades y descubrir la verdad conveniente y orientadora.

Noches Blancas
Fyodor Dostoyevsky · 1848
White Nights by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, 1848.<br/><br/>Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821 - 1881) was a Russian novelist, short story writer, essayist, journalist and philosopher. Dostoyevsky’s literary works explore human psychology in the troubled political, social, and spiritual atmospheres of 19th-century Russia, and engage with a variety of realistic philosophical and religious themes. Many literary critics rate him as one of the greatest psychologists in world literature. His 1864 novella Notes from Underground is considered to be one of the first works of existentialist literature.<br/>Born in Moscow in 1821, Dostoyevsky was introduced to literature at an early age through fairy tales and legends. In 1837 when he was 15, he left school to enter the Nikolayev Military Engineering Institute. After graduating, he worked as an engineer and briefly enjoyed a lavish lifestyle, translating books to earn extra money.<br/>Arrested in 1849 for belonging to a literary group that discussed banned books critical of 'Tsarist Russia', he was sentenced to death but the sentence was commuted at the last moment. He spent four years in a Siberian prison camp.
Crimen y Castigo
Fiódor Dostoyevski · 1866
El joven Rodión Raskólnikov, antiguo estudiante, arrastra una existencia precaria en San Petersburgo. Cuando recibe una carta anunciándole la visita de su madre y su hermana en relación con los súbitos planes de boda de esta última, las fantasías de acabar con sus problemas a través del asesinato de la vieja prestamista a la cual suele recurrir van tomando cuerpo en su voluntad...<br/>Crimen y castigo (1866) es posiblemente la obra más lograda del autor. En ella, sirviéndose de una trama y de unos personajes que reúnen los mejores ingredientes de la novela del siglo XIX, se plantea el problema de la justificación o no de los actos, de la conciencia y de la culpa.<br/>Fiódor Dostoyevski (1821-1881) es, junto con Lev Tolstói, el gran novelista ruso del siglo XIX. Su vida y su creación literaria sufrieron un cambio radical después de que en 1849 fuera detenido y condenado a muerte, pena que se le conmutó en el último instante, por sus actividades contra el zar. Alianza Editorial tiene publicada prácticamente toda su obra.<br/>CENTENARIO DOSTOYEVSKI (1821-2021)
