Idea Vilariño - Poesía Completa
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.

The Cruel Prince
Holly Black • 2018
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black, comes the first book in a stunning new series about a mortal girl who finds herself caught in a web of royal faerie intrigue. Of course I want to be like them. They're beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever. And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe. Jude was seven years old when her parents were murdered and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. But many of the fey despise humans. Especially Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King. To win a place at the Court, she must defy him--and face the consequences. In doing so, she becomes embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, discovering her own capacity for bloodshed. But as civil war threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself.
The Bell Jar (Modern Classics)
Sylvia Plath · 2005
<p><i>The Bell Jar</i> chronicles the crack-up of Esther Greenwood: brilliant, beautiful, enormously talented, and successful, but slowly going under -- maybe for the last time. Sylvia Plath masterfully draws the reader into Esther's breakdown with such intensity that Esther's insanity becomes completely real and even rational, as probable and accessible an experience as going to the movies. Such deep penetration into the dark and harrowing corners of the psyche is an extraordinary accomplishment and has made <i>The Bell Jar</i> a haunting American classic.</p> <p>This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.</p>

Just Kids
Patti Smith · 2010
<p> It was the summer Coltrane died, the summer of love and riots, and the summer when a chance encounter in Brooklyn led two young people on a path of art, devotion, and initiation. </p> <p> Patti Smith would evolve as a poet and performer, and Robert Mapplethorpe would direct his highly provocative style toward photography. Bound in innocence and enthusiasm, they traversed the city from Coney Island to Forty-second Street, and eventually to the celebrated round table of Max's Kansas City, where the Andy Warhol contingent held court. In 1969, the pair set up camp at the Hotel Chelsea and soon entered a community of the famous and infamous—the influential artists of the day and the colorful fringe. It was a time of heightened awareness, when the worlds of poetry, rock and roll, art, and sexual politics were colliding and exploding. In this milieu, two kids made a pact to take care of each other. Scrappy, romantic, committed to create, and fueled by their mutual dreams and drives, they would prod and provide for one another during the hungry years. </p> <p> <i>Just Kids</i> begins as a love story and ends as an elegy. It serves as a salute to New York City during the late sixties and seventies and to its rich and poor, its hustlers and hellions. A true fable, it is a portrait of two young artists' ascent, a prelude to fame. </p>

Los amores de Nishino
Hiromi Kawakami · 2017
Product Description <br/>Una novela de la autora de El cielo es azul, la tierra blanca, ganadora del Premio Akutagawa, el Premio Ito Sei, el Premio Woman Writer's, el Premio Tanizaki y el Man Asian Literary Prize, con más de 1.000.000 de lectores.<br/>«¿Qué será el amor? Las personas tienen derecho a enamorarse de otros, no a que los demás las amen.»<br/>Todas han amado a Nishino. Todas han sucumbido, aunque solo sea durante una hora, a ese hombre seductor, imprudente y salvaje como un gato, que se inmiscuía de manera natural en la vida de las mujeres a las que deseaba conquistar. Pero, ¿quién era Nishino?<br/>Ellas, que guardan en la memoria el vivo recuerdo de su cálido aliento, de sus silencios indescifrables y sus gestos de indiferencia, toman la palabra para recrear la figura llena de encanto de un hombre conmovedor e inalcanzable. A través de este retrato también ellas revelan quiénes son. Sus testimonios son variaciones llenas de humor, sensualidad, inteligencia y melancolía sobre ese extraño sentimiento llamado amor.<br/>Reseñas:«Sutileza y delicadeza, una prosa detallada que describe a conciencia las marcas del alma.»Pere Guixà, El País<br/>«Si te gusta Haruki Murakami, adorarás Los amores de Nishino.»DozoDomo.com<br/>«Los amores de Nishino es una canción que se nos susurra en voz baja y que nos atrapa hasta el infinito.»L'Express<br/>«La japonesa es una reina en el difícil arte de golpear al lector sin hacer ruido.»Eugenio Fuentes, La Opinión de A Coruña<br/>«Leer a Kawakami es como darse un baño de agua tibia. Lo más importante es el homenaje que se rinde a la melancolía, o a la imposibilidad o, mejor aún, a este estado de indefinición -prerreflexivo- podríamos decir, en el que habitualmente nos movemos los humanos.»Pablo D'Ors, ABC<br/>«La prosa de Kawakami bien puede definirse como cristalina: está construida con la precisión hermosa y reticular, perfectamente conectada, de un cristal.»Ciro García, El Norte de Castilla<br/>«Una capacidad descriptiva y de evocación visual, sutileza y una disección apasionante de las relaciones y la conducta humana.»Flavia Company, El País<br/>«Kawakami cautiva con sus palabras y su estilo poético.»Jacinta Cremades, El Mundo<br/>«Lo que Hiromi Kawakami cuenta es tan carnal, hermoso y estimulante para el lector, que no exige ser más explícita. Su misterio radica en el extraordinario poder alusivo de la escritura, legado de los grandes artistas de la narrativa japonesa moderna. Sin duda.»Robert Saladrigas, La Vanguardia<br/>«Original, ágil y directa, con una prosa liviana que esconde el peso de la vida y sus contrastes: es delicada, pero dura; fría, pero pasional; divertida, pero seria.»Revista Paula (Chile)<br/> About the Author <br/>Hiromi Kawakami (Tokio, 1958) inició su trayectoria literaria a mediados de los años noventa, tras haber estudiado ciencias naturales e impartido clases de biología. Así, con la publicación de su debut, Kamisama, en 1994, Kawakami se ha convertido en una de las autoras japonesas más populares del mundo. Admirada por público y crítica, ha recibido varios galardones, como el Premio Tanizaki (2001) o el Premio de Literatura de Asia (2012). Entre sus libros más destacados se cuentan Abandonarse a la pasión (1999), El cielo es azul, la tierra blanca (2001), Algo que brilla como el mar (2003) y El señor Nakano y las mujeres (2005).

Lolita
Vladimir Nabokov · 1989
Awe and exhiliration--along with heartbreak and mordant wit--abound in <b>Lolita</b>, Nabokov's most famous and controversial novel, which tells the story of the aging Humbert Humbert's obsessive, devouring, and doomed passion for the nymphet Dolores Haze. <b>Lolita</b> is also the story of a hypercivilized European colliding with the cheerful barbarism of postwar America. Most of all, it is a meditation on love--love as outrage and hallucination, madness and transformation.
