La correspondencia de Descartes, lejos de ser algo marginal respecto de las obras que publica, es una valiosa clave para comprender su sistema. En ella encontramos ideas y principios cuya asunción resulta necesaria para profundizar en el análisis de las teorías que da a la imprenta bajo las formas más canónicas de la escritura filosófica: el Discurso, las Meditaciones, los Principios. En la presente edición se ofrece su correspondencia completa con Isabel de Bohemia y con Cristina de Suecia y su círculo, así como una amplia selección de las cartas sobre la libertad, la moral y la teoría del hombre que Descartes intercambia, a lo largo de toda su vida intelectual, con otros corresponsales. Con ello, se pone a disposición del lector español un conjunto de textos esencial para el estudio y la comprensión del cartesianismo, verdadero centro de gravitación intelectual de la Modernidad filosófica, y de las polémicas en cuyo laborioso y a veces áspero despliegue cobra forma.

La degradación de la autoridad educativa y parental en las últimas décadas es una de las causas del aumento drástico de la violencia, la delincuencia y del elevado abandono escolar de niños, niñas y adolescentes. Haim Omer y su equipo nos presentan una solución teórica y práctica para esta situación alarmante mediante La Nueva Autoridad, un modelo que es el resultado de un proceso largo y polifacético de pensamiento y acción, que se ha puesto en práctica en numerosos centros educativos en todo el mundo. Esta obra presenta múltiples ejemplos de situaciones de acoso escolar, boicot, violencia, delincuencia, abuso sexual, adicciones, intimidación, etc., resueltas a través de esta nueva autoridad cuyas claves son las transparencia y la voluntad de resolución del conflicto que involucra a todos en conjunto y no de manera aislada: agresor, víctima, familia, profesorado, dirección escolar, policía local, servicios sociales, y los alumnos y alumnas, cuya participación es fundamental sobre todo

The collection of works by Giorgio Morandi selected by Antonio and Matilde Catanese belongs to the tradition of great Milanese collectors who had a far-sighted view of the painter, acquiring his works in the 1930s and becoming among the first to contribute to his fame. The Morandi’s works in the Catanese collection are a microcosm of the artist’s oeuvre, thanks to the number of works, their chronological spread covering almost all the years of the artist’s activity, the techniques used to create them, their themes, their place in collecting history and, most importantly, their artistic importance, rendering the collection well suited for deciphering and understanding Morandi’s work. The group includes 15 paintings made between 1914 and 1959 and three watercolours representing the distinctive themes of his work indicated by anodyne titles: Still Life, Landscape, Flowers and, most importantly, a Self-Portrait dated 1914 by Morandi. Another integral part of the collection is the almost complete series of etchings, showing the collectors’ embrace of the technique that Morandi practised in parallel to painting and that cannot be separated from it. The works have been the subject of scientific investigations, preliminary to restoration and conservation, conducted by the University of Urbino, the results of which are presented here. Texts by: Cristina Bandera, Luca Cecchetto, Mariella Gnani, Buccolini Federica, Paolo Triolo, Sabrina Burattini, Laura Valentini. Text in English and Italian.

An enthralling biography about one of the most intriguing women of the Victorian age: the first self-invented international social celebrity. Lola Montez was one of the most celebrated and notorious women of the nineteenth century. A raven-haired Andalusian who performed her scandalous “Spider Dance” in the greatest performance halls across Europe, she dazzled and beguiled all who met her with her astonishing beauty, sexuality, and shocking disregard for propriety. But Lola was an impostor, a self-invention. Born Eliza Gilbert, the beautiful Irish wild child escaped a stifling marriage and reimagined herself as Lola the Sevillian flamenco dancer and noblewoman, choosing a life of adventure, fame, sex, and scandal rather than submitting to the strictures of her era. Lola cast her spell on the European aristocracy and the most famous intellectuals and artists of the time, including Alexandre Dumas, Franz Liszt, and George Sand, and became the obsession of King Ludwig I of Bavaria. She then set out for the New World, arriving in San Francisco at the height of the gold rush, where she lived like a pioneer and performed for rowdy miners before making her way to New York. There, her inevitable downfall was every bit as dramatic as her rise. Yet there was one final reinvention to come for the most defiant woman of the Victorian age—a woman known as a “savage beauty” who was idolized, romanticized, vilified, truly known by no one, and a century ahead of her time.
