Lonely Castle in the Mirror
Mizuki Tsujimura
Have you ever wondered why that 13-digit number on the back of a book costs $125 in the United States but is completely free in Canada and India? This book, The Global ISBN Handbook, is your 2025 guide to the International Standard Book Number. It explains everything about this global "fingerprint" for books. The ISBN is the most important cornerstone of the publishing industry. It started as a simple warehouse tool in the 1960s. Now, it is a complex digital identifier used in over 200 countries. This handbook deconstructs the entire system. It uses 15 distinct national case studies to do this. You will learn how the old 10-digit system changed to the new 13-digit one. We break down the five parts of the ISBN, from the "Bookland" prefix to the final check digit. The book explores the global governance framework, starting with the International ISBN Agency. Then, it dives deep into how different countries run their systems. You'll see the privatized, high-cost model in the United States. You'll compare it to Canada's free, government-run system. We explore the industry-led models in Brazil and Germany. We look at government-run systems in Mexico and India. We even cover the unique case of China, where the ISBN is not a simple identifier but a state-controlled publication license. The book also examines the systems in the UK , France , Russia , Japan , Australia , South Africa , Nigeria , and Egypt. Many books and websites can tell you how to get an ISBN. This handbook is the only resource that explains why the process is so different everywhere you look. It moves beyond a simple "how-to" and provides a true global analysis. It directly compares the privatized, for-profit models in the US and UK against the free, public-good systems in Canada and South Africa. You won't just learn the price; you will understand the cultural policies, market structures, and legal philosophies that shape that price. This book shows how the ISBN is a "global mirror". It reveals how a simple number can be a commercial product in one nation , a tool of cultural policy in another , and an instrument of state control in a third. This comparative insight is the missing piece for any author, publisher, or researcher trying to navigate the complex international publishing market. Disclaimer: This handbook is an independently produced resource for commentary and analysis. The author has no affiliation with the International ISBN Agency, R.R. Bowker, Library and Archives Canada, the National Press and Publication Administration, or any other national ISBN agency. This work is independently produced under the principle of nominative fair use.

Eloy Moreno • 2018
Emotiva, conmovedora, diferente... Invisible narra, a través de los ojos de un niño, una historia que podría ser la de cualquiera de nosotros.<br/><br/>¿Quién no ha deseado alguna vez ser invisible?<br/><br/>¿Quién no ha deseado alguna vez dejar de serlo?<br/><br/>El problema es que nunca he llegado a controlar bien ese poder: A veces, cuando más ganas tenía de ser invisible, era cuando más gente me veía, y en cambio, cuando deseaba que todos me vieran, era cuando a mi cuerpo le daba por desaparecer.<br/><br/>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION<br/><br/>Moving, emotional, different ... Through a child’s eyes, Invisible tells a story that could be that of any one of us.<br/><br/>Who hasn’t at one point wished they were invisible?<br/><br/>Who hasn’t wanted to stop being invisible?<br/><br/>The problem is that I have never been able to control that power: Sometimes, when I mostly felt a desire to be invisible, it was when more people saw me, on the other hand, when I wanted everyone to see me, it was when my body decided to disappear.
Corazón: Diario de un niño (Spanish Edition)
Edmondo De Amicis • 2015
Corazón, publicada en 1886, se convierte de inmediato en la obra cumbre de Edmondo de Amicis. Traducida a todos los idiomas, esta obra dedicada a los niños y a los jóvenes, marca un hito en la literatura de su época. Corazón es una obra llena de humanidad y patriotismo, en ella se refleja, de un modo único y certero, la personalidad de Edmondo de Amicis, hombre altruista, generoso y de una bondad que repercute por igual en los hombres de todas las clases sociales que se describen en su obra, de una inmensa bondad que se refleja en cada uno de sus personajes creados por él. Corazón presenta una escritura directa, sencilla, natural y detalladamente ingenua, reflejando con ello el modo de pensar progresista de la época. En Corazón, el amor que se refleja es auténtico, con sentido humano, y en cada una de sus páginas se deja ver como una sublime lección de caridad, dignidad y gloria y es por ello que esta obra seguirá maravillando y emocionando siempre a todos los lectores de todos los tiempos. Amicis concibió Corazón por y para los niños, no solamente como una obra literaria más entre muchas otras, sino, como una gran fuente de valores, como una auténtica doctrina moral para las presentes y futuras generaciones.
