Hiroshige: One Hundred Famous Views of Edo
Melanie Trede • 2015
<p><b>Utagawa Hiroshige</b> (1797-1858) was <b>one of the last great artists in the ukiyo-e tradition</b>. Literally meaning "pictures of the floating world," ukiyo-e was a particular genre of art that flourished between the 17th and 19th centuries and came to characterize the Western world's visual idea of Japan. In many ways images of hedonism, ukiyo-e scenes often represented the <b>bright lights and attractions of Edo (modern-day Tokyo)</b>: <b>beautiful women, actors and wrestlers, city life, and spectacular landscapes.</b><br> <br> Though he captured a variety of subjects, Hiroshige was most famous for landscapes, with a final masterpiece series known as <b>"One Hundred Famous Views of Edo"</b> (1856-1858), which depicted various scenes of the city through the seasons, from <b>bustling shopping streets to splendid cherry orchards.</b><br> <br> This reprint is made from one of the finest complete original sets of woodblock prints belonging to the Ota Memorial Museum of Art in Tokyo. It pairs each of the 120 illustrations with a description, allowing readers to immerse themselves in these beautiful, vibrant vistas that became paradigms of Japonisme and inspired <b>Impressionist, Post-Impressionist</b> and <b>Art Nouveau</b> artists alike, from Vincent van Gogh to James McNeill Whistler.</p>

Rainer Metzger • 2015
Vincent van Gogh’s story is one of the most ironic in art history. Today, he is celebrated the world over as one of the most important painters of all time, recognized with sell-out shows, feted museums, and record prices of tens of millions of dollars at auction.<br/>Yet as he was painting the canvases that would subsequently become these sell-out modern masterpieces, van Gogh was battling not only the disinterest of his contemporary audiences but also devastating bouts of mental illness, with episodes of depression and paralyzing anxiety which would eventually claim his life in 1890, when he committed suicide shortly after his 37th birthday.<br/>This comprehensive study of Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) pairs a detailed monograph on his life and art with a complete catalogue of his 871 paintings.<br/><br/>About the series<br/>Bibliotheca Universalis — Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe!

Stefan Bollmann • 2016
Relegadas tradicionalmente a un papel secundario y a menudo pasivo en la sociedad, las mujeres encontraron muy pronto en la lectura una manera de romper las estrecheces de su mundo. La puerta abierta al conocimiento, la imaginación, el acceso a otro mundo, un mundo de libertad e independencia, les ha permitido desarrollarse y adoptar, poco a poco, nuevos roles en la sociedad. A través de un recorrido por las numerosas obras de arte que reflejan la estrecha relación entre libros y mujeres, Stefan Bollmann rinde un sentido homenaje a las mujeres y confirma el excepcional poder que confiere la lectura.

Alejandra Pizarnik • 2016
Lumen publica la obra poética completa de una de las escritoras argentinas más emblemáticas de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, la controvertida, polémica y malograda Alejandra Pizarnik.<br/><br/>«Cada poema [suyo] es el cubo de una inmensa rueda.»<br/>Julio Cortázar<br/>Alejandra Pizarnik es una figura de culto de las letras hispanas y una autora que se internó por infiernos raramente visitados por la literatura española. Su poesía se caracteriza por un hondo intimismo y una severa sensualidad o, en palabras de Octavio Paz, la obra de Pizarnik lleva a cabo una «cristalización verbal por amalgama de insomnio pasional y lucidez meridiana en una disolución de realidad sometida a las más altas temperaturas».<br/>Esta edición, a cargo de Ana Becciu, incluye los libros de poemas editados en vida de la autora y los poemas inéditos compilados a partir de manuscritos.<br/>Reseñas:<br/>«La belleza de su enigmática y sobrecogedora poesía [...] no acaba nunca.»<br/>Winston Manrique Sabogal, El País<br/>«Cada poema [suyo] es el cubo de una inmensa rueda.»<br/>Julio Cortázar<br/>«Sobre mi mesa, lleva semanas abierto el volumen que contiene la Poesía completa de ese irrepetible y doliente meteoro que fue Alejandra Pizarnik (1936-1972), de quien no me resisto a transcribir unos versos estremecedores: no atraigas frases / poemas / versos / no tienes nada que decir / nada que defender / sueña sueña que no estás aquí / que ya te has ido / que todo ha terminado.»<br/>Manuel Rodríguez, Babelia<br/>«Sumergirse en la intimidad de la gran poeta argentina es adentrarse en las arenas movedizas de una pulsión suicida. [...] Así es su escritura: el constante descubrimiento de una rosa con espinas. [...] Se la lee de poco en poco, como quien paladea un vino añejo.»<br/>Rocío Niebla, Tinta Libre<br/>«La palabra parece la guarida que no siempre es capaz de proteger. Su poesía es luminosa en la oscuridad; provoca vértigo, perturba; las ausencias pesan y la belleza desgarra.»<br/>Estandarte<br/>«Un hecho excepcional en la literatura argentina, que puede adjudicarse al aura de prestigio casi legendario que ha envuelto la vida y la obra de Alejandra Pizarnik.»<br/>César Aira<br/>«Al encanto de Pizarnik de ser una figura envuelta en el misterio y una personalidad inexplicable, hay que añadir el hecho de que palabra por palabra ella escribía la noche, y el lector que se acerque a ella descubrirá que esa escritura nocturna, que tenía un alto sentido del riesgo, nacía de la más pura necesidad, como a pocos escritores del siglo XX se les ha visto: una lírica extrema y también una tragedia.»<br/>Enrique Vila-Matas, Babelia<br/>«Alrededor de una obra breve, se despliega una constelación que va conformando la imagen deuna de las poetas más leídas, comentadas y hasta mitificadas de la segunda mitad del siglo XX.»<br/>Edgardo Dobry, El País<br/>«Una figura de culto y una autora que se internó en infiernos raramente visitados en la literatura española.»<br/>Rosa Martí, Esquire<br/>«La poesía de Pizarnik hay que desbrozarla lentamente.»<br/>Julia Navarro, ABC - Cultural<br/>«Pizarnik nos descubre un éxtasis en la inestabilidad del lenguaje y logra arrancarle una verdad mercurial y patética.»<br/>Los Angeles Review of Books<br/>«Basta nombrarla para que en el aire vibren la poesía y la leyenda. Una lírica extrema y también una tragedia.»<br/>Luis Chitarroni

The Handmaid's Tale (Spanish Edition)
Margaret Atwood • 2021
BESTSELLER DEL NEW YORK TIMES * RECOMENDADO POR JENNA BUSH EN SU CLUB DE LECTURA DEL TODAY SHOW Y EN SU PODCAST READ WITH JENNA<br/><br/>El libro en que se basa la serie de Hulu.<br/><br/>El libro de cabecera de una nueva generación.<br/><br/>Amparándose en la coartada del terrorismo islámico, unos políticos teócratas se hacen con el poder y, como primera medida, suprimen la libertad de prensa y los derechos de las mujeres. Esta trama, inquietante y oscura, que bien podría encontrarse en cualquier obra actual, pertenece en realidad a esta novela escrita por Margaret Atwood a principios de los ochenta, en la que la afamada autora canadiense anticipó con llamativa premonición una amenaza latente en el mundo de hoy.<br/><br/>En la República de Gilead, el cuerpo de Defred sólo sirve para procrear, tal como imponen las férreas normas establecidas por la dictadura puritana que domina el país. Si Defred se rebela -o si, aceptando colaborar a regañadientes, no es capaz de concebir- le espera la muerte en ejecución pública o el destierro a unas Colonias en las que sucumbirá a la polución de los residuos tóxicos. Así, el régimen controla con mano de hierro hasta los más ínfimos detalles de la vida de las mujeres: su alimentación, su indumentaria, incluso su actividad sexual. Pero nadie, ni siquiera un gobierno despótico parapetado tras el supuesto mandato de un dios todopoderoso, puede gobernar el pensamiento de una persona. Y mucho menos su deseo.<br/><br/>Los peligros inherentes a mezclar religión y política; el empeño de todo poder absoluto en someter a las mujeres como paso conducente a sojuzgar a toda la población; la fuerza incontenible del deseo como elemento transgresor: son tan sólo una muestra de los temas que aborda este relato desgarrador, aderezado con el sutil sarcasmo que constituye la seña de identidad de Margaret Atwood. Una escritora universal que, con el paso del tiempo, no deja de asombrarnos con la lucidez de sus ideas y la potencia de su prosa.<br/><br/>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION<br/><br/>NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • READ WITH JENNA BOOK CLUB PICK AS FEATURED ON TODAY • RECOMMENDED ON THE 'READ WITH JENNA' PODCAST•<br/><br/>A book-adapted series on Hulu. !<br/><br/>Look for The Testaments, the sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale, available now.<br/><br/>An instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon, from “the patron saint of feminist dystopian fiction” (New York Times).<br/><br/>Now an award-winning Hulu series starring Elizabeth Moss.<br/><br/>In Margaret Atwood’s dystopian future, environmental disasters and declining birthrates have led to a Second American Civil War. The result is the rise of the Republic of Gilead, a totalitarian regime that enforces rigid social roles and enslaves the few remaining fertile women. Offred is one of these, a Handmaid bound to produce children for one of Gilead’s commanders. Deprived of her husband, her child, her freedom, and even her own name, Offred clings to her memories and her will to survive. At once a scathing satire, an ominous warning, and a tour de force of narrative suspense, The Handmaid’s Tale is a modern classic.

"Persephone is the Goddess of Spring in title only. Since she was a little girl, flowers have only shriveled at her touch. After moving to New Athens, she hoped to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist. All of that changes when she sits down in a forbidden nightclub to play a hand of cards with a hypnotic and mysterious stranger. Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible. But nothing has ever intrigued him as much as the goddess offering him a bargain he can't resist. After her encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the God of the Dead, and his terms are impossible: Persephone must create life in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever. The bet does more than expose Persephone's failure as a goddess, however. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows-a love that is both captivating and forbidden"--
Circe
Madeline Miller • 2020
"A bold and subversive retelling of the goddess's story," this #1 New York Times bestseller is "both epic and intimate in its scope, recasting the most infamous female figure from the Odyssey as a hero in her own right" (Alexandra Alter, The New York Times). In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child -- not powerful like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power -- the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves. Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts, and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus, the murderous Medea, and, of course, wily Odysseus. But there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone and Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods, ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians. To protect what she loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and choose, once and for all, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love. With unforgettably vivid characters, mesmerizing language, and page-turning suspense, Circe is a triumph of storytelling, an intoxicating epic of family rivalry, palace intrigue, love and loss, as well as a celebration of indomitable female strength in a man's world. #1 New York Times bestseller -- named one of the best books of the year by NPR, the Washington Post, People, Time, Amazon, Entertainment Weekly, Bustle, Newsweek, the A.V.
