Women Without Men: A Novel of Modern Iran
Shahrnush Parsipur • 2012
From an outspoken Iranian author comes a “charming, powerful novella” that is banned in Iran for its depiction of female freedom (Publishers Weekly). “Parsipur is a courageous, talented woman, and above all, a great writer.” —Marjane Satrapi, author of Persepolis This modern literary masterpiece follows the interwoven destinies of five women—including a wealthy middle-aged housewife, a prostitute, and a schoolteacher—as they arrive by different paths to live together in an abundant garden on the outskirts of Tehran. Drawing on elements of Islamic mysticism and recent Iranian history, this unforgettable novel depicts women escaping the narrow confines of family and society, and imagines their future living in a world without men. Reminiscent of a wry fable, Women Without Men creates an evocative and powerfully drawn allegory of life in contemporary Iran. Shortly after the novel’s 1989 publication, Parsipur was arrested and jailed for her frank and defiant portrayal of women’s sexuality. Banned in Iran, this national bestseller was eventually translated into several languages, giving new readers access to the witty and subversive work of a brilliant Persian writer. “Using the techniques of both the fabulist and the polemicist, Parsipur continues her protest against traditional Persian gender relations in this charming, powerful novella.” —Publishers Weekly

Prada: The Complete Collections (Catwalk)
2019
<b>A dazzling and authoritative look at three decades of Prada's groundbreaking fashion designs through stunning runway photography</b><br> <br> <br> <br> <b>"[A] 'greatest hits' riffing on Miuccia Prada's own obsessions with maid's uniforms, schoolgirl garb and twists on luxury."--Alexander Fury, <i>AnOther Magazine</i></b><br> <br> <br> <br> <b>"The perfect coffee-table book for style-savvy bibliophiles."--<i>Los Angeles Times</i></b><br> <br> <br> <br> Founded in 1913 as a leather-goods house in Milan, Prada entered the field of fashion when Miuccia Prada took the helm of the company in 1979. After initially focusing on accessories, she presented the house's first fashion collection in 1988, quickly transforming Prada into one of the world's most influential luxury brands. Her deeply personal, sophisticated, and subtly subversive approach often works against the clichés of beauty and sexy as she strives, in her own words, to be "more clever, or more difficult, or more complicated . . . or more new."<br> <br> <br> <br> Published in collaboration with Prada to celebrate 30 years of trend-setting creations, this stunning volume offers a comprehensive and definitive history of the house. Organized chronologically, each of Prada's collections is introduced by a description of its influences and highlights and is illustrated with stunning catwalk images of models such as Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, and Gisele Bündchen showcasing clothing, accessories, and beauty looks. With a biographical profile of Miuccia Prada and an extensive reference section, this handsome and well-researched retrospective reflects the passion, craftsmanship, and creative spirit that define Prada.

El niño en la cima de la montaña (Spanish Edition)
John Boyne • 2016
<p> <b>Boyne nos hace reflexionar, a través de los ojos de un niño, sobre la fragilidad de la juventud, la atracción del poder, y la culpa. </b> </p> <p>De padre alemán y madre francesa, Pierrot ha tenido una infancia no muy distinta de la de cualquier niño de su época. Sin embargo, nos hallamos en París, corre el año 1935 y la guerra que se avecina trastocará el destino de millones de personas. Tras la muerte prematura de sus padres, Pierrot deberá separarse de su íntimo amigo Anshel y abandonar Francia para vivir con su tía Beatrix, que trabaja de ama de llaves en una mansión imponente erigida en lo alto de una montaña. Pero no es una casa cualquiera; se trata nada menos que del Berghof, la enorme residencia que Adolf Hitler posee en los Alpes de Baviera.</p> <p>Así, a sus siete años, alojado de manera involuntaria en el entorno íntimo del todopoderoso Führer, Pierrot se verá inmerso en un mundo tan extrañamente seductor como peligroso. En él no hay lugar para la inocencia, y cuando al final de la guerra es capturado por los aliados, Pieter #como ahora se llama# llevará un peso insoportable en su conciencia. A su regreso a París, abrumado por la culpa, un aspecto clave de la historia surgirá como una tabla de salvación, y el inesperado desenlace será una muestra más de la insondable dimensión del perdón y la amistad.</p>
