This volume marks the publishing debut of the Spanish-Argentinian photographer based in Milan, Patricio Reig, and introduces one of the artist’s preferred subjects: the female portrait. Patricio Reig prints and sets his images on special oriental paper, folded over and over, and finally dipped in a bath of coffee and sodium thiosulfate. He has found the result intriguing ever since his very first experiments: fortuitous coffee stains become scars that denote each photograph, and consequently every story they tell. As he himself says: “A portrait is not the recording of a single identity, but rather the layering of many elements. For this reason, the image may be fragmented, pieced back together, or even folded over, and yet it never loses its essence.” Text in English, French and Spanish.

Antes de cumplir quince años, Sandra Martos descubre su inclinación sexual y asiste a la separación de sus padres; dos circunstancias que la harán sentirse en desventaja con el mundo que la rodea hasta que conoce a Isa, una chica mayor que ella, que le abrirá las puertas de la vida. Desde ese momento, estará en guerra permanente con sus orígenes y buscará respuestas y cobijo fuera de la familia, en la amistad, así como en el cine y en los libros, únicos lugares donde la desolación y el desamor pueden resultar hermosos. Inconsciente de la fugacidad del tiempo, se lanzará a vivir convencida de que su inconformismo no remitirá, del poder magnético de la amistad y de algunos amores y de la durabilidad de los sentimientos, sin saber que un amigo puede ser el agua pero también el desierto.Una novela puramente humana, con más preguntas que respuestas, con una prosa realista, capaz de iluminar las zonas más oscuras de la condición humana y de matizar las más luminosas.

Un verso y un reverso es un canto poético al recuerdo, al amor, a la ciudad amada, una obra que bebe directamente de la Generación del 27, cuya lírica resuena y se atisba en cada una de las estrofas de Alquimista de Palabras , pseudónimo que proyecta con gran atino la capacidad del poeta de jugar con los fonemas, de sustentar el concepto de Homo ludens que Huizinga planteaba al establecer la poesía como una de las formas de juego más antiguas del ser humano.El autor plantea en el mismo inicio de Un verso y un reverso que este es un libro de adivinanzas. No hay forma más acertada de definir a un poemario.Así como la competencia de adivinanzas genera sabiduría, así la competencia poética origina la palabra bella. ?Homo ludens, Johan Huizinga.

Sin ser localista, la poesía de Gloria Fuertes es una de las poesías más castizamente urbanas que tenemos. Perdura en ella su juventud sensorial y sentimental, una juventud tan prolongada como su inspiración, que permanecerá abierta como un radar de poeta en guardia. Esta edición recoge la poesía de los últimos años.

En la fábula titulada El hierro y el topacio, el hierro pregunta por qué teniendo él un mayor valor utilitario es más apreciado el topacio, a lo que este le responde: Una sencilla verdad // Te dará la explicación: // Tu sirves a la razón, // Yo sirvo a la vanidad. // Fijos dos hechos verás // Aunque de justicia ajenos, // Que la razón paga menos, // La vanidad paga más.

One of Poland's most important and independent postwar artists, Andrzej Wroblewski (1927-57) created in his short life his own highly individual, suggestive, and prolific form of abstract and figurative painting that continues to inspire artists today. This volume offers a stunning presentation and thorough reevaluation of his work and its legacy in the international context of art history. Offering an insightful picture of the world of postwar painting in communist Europe, and highlighting Wroblewski's political engagement, the book helps us to understand the immensely evocative vision of war and oppression that he created. This close look at a painter and a period that are of growing interest for international art historians will serve to further cement Wroblewski in the postwar pantheon.

Throughout written history and across the world, women have protested the restrictions of gender and the limitations placed on women's bodies and women's lives. People-of any and no gender-have protested and theorized, penned manifestos and written poetry and songs, testified and lobbied, gone on strike and fomented revolution, quietly demanded that there is an "I" and loudly proclaimed that there is a "we." The Book of Feminism chronicles this history of defiance and tracks it around the world as it develops into a multivocal and unabashed force.Global in scope, The Book of Feminism shows the breadth of feminist protest and of feminist thinking, moving through the female poets of China's Tang Dynasty to accounts of indigenous women in the Caribbean resisting Columbus's expedition, British suffragists militating for the vote to the revolutionary petroleuses of the 1848 Paris Commune, the first century Trung sisters who fought for the independence of Nam Viet to women in 1980s Botswana fighting for equal protection under the law, from the erotica of the 6th century and the 19th century to radical queer politics in the 20th and 21st.The Book of Feminism is a weapon, a force, a lyrical cry, and an ongoing threat to misogyny everywhere.

This glorious design comes from Sangorski & Sutcliffe, a world-renowned British bindery best known for their bejewelled cover of Omar Khayyam’s Rubaiyat. Established in London in 1901, Sangorski & Sutcliffe quickly rose to become one of the 20th century’s most important bookbinders. They were especially celebrated for their jewelled bindings, like the one reproduced here. Originally crafted in 1922 to house Rudyard Kipling’s 1897 “Recessional” poem written for Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, it incorporated real turquoise, aquamarine and ruby gemstones, alongside medieval-style illumination by Alberto Sangorski and gold tooling by George Sutcliffe.
