Mezcla de leyendas y supersticiones, muchos de los cuentos que figuran en esta selección tienen con frecuencia como protagonistas al tanuki y al zorro, animales muy populares en Japón. Otro de los temas recurrentes es el de la venganza; a través de la cual los culpables reciben el castigo en proporción a la maldad de su acción. Asimismo, muchos relatos nos muestran rasgos que siguen estando muy arraigados en el carácter japonés, como el de dar ciento por uno: es decir, agradecer siempre con creces el favor recibido por muy pequeño que este sea.

Escrito en 1869, La mujer del porvenir es un tratado donde Concepción Arenal analiza la inferioridad en la que vive la mujer y la marginalidad que sufre, y a la vez aporta medidas y soluciones para acabar con dicha situación, como mejorar su educación. La presente edición incluye, además, el sobresaliente La mujer de su casa (1883), en el que Arenal vuelve a las ideas presentadas en La mujer del porvenir para revisarlas y aportar una perspectiva más madura. Nunca hasta ahora se habían publicado en un mismo volumen. Ambos tratados, por una parte, nos ayudan a entender la situación de la mujer hace más de un siglo; por otra, nos dan herramientas para analizar con detalle las mejoras conseguidas en los últimos tiempos y permiten establecer futuras reivindicaciones.

De Jong consigue transformar a su narradora en un auténtico ser humano, una mujer que vive de espaldas a la aridez de su existencia. Y ese silencio suyo, su rechazo a afrontarla tal cual es, está dibujado con la máxima delicadeza y resulta verdaderamente conmovedor.V. S. NAIPAUL, Premio Nobel de LiteraturaEl árbol y la enredadera, publicada por primera vez en 1954 con el respaldo del mítico Maxwell Perkins ;editor también de Hemingway y Fitzgerald;, describe con admirable sutileza la intensa y compleja relación sentimental entre dos mujeres muy distintas: la desafiante y autónoma Érica y la más complaciente Bea. Una periodista y una secretaria cuya relación se intuye condenada al fracaso desde sus inicios, no solo por las evidentes diferencias de carácter, sino también por la propia naturaleza de su amor en la hostil Europa de 1938, donde los tambores de guerra son ya mucho más que una amenaza en la distancia.

Desde hace algunos años, en la estela de importantes descubrimientos científicos relacionados con la comunicación vegetal, una fuerte tendencia nos incita a tomar el árbol como modelo, incluso a penetrar los arcanos de su vida secreta. Pero más allá de las metáforas y las analogías fáciles, qué podemos esperar de este nuevo acercamiento a los árboles? Una fuente de inspiración, un modelo ecológico, la llave para un nuevo bienestar basado en la apertura y en el compartir? Un ecologista apasionado nos entrega sus respuestas marcadas por la ciencia, la sabiduría y un respeto infinito por la naturaleza:[El árbol] es una gran figura de lo vivo que parece querer dirigirse a los grandes primates irreverentes en los que nos hemos convertido. Unos primates hoy frenados en su impulso, aplastados por incertidumbres, perdidos en el borde del camino por haber tontamente olvidado que vivían en el planeta de los árboles.

Cuando le preguntan si es un hombre o una mujer, Ariel no sabe qué responder. Le han dicho que tiene un cuerpo y que este cuerpo podría llegar a amar a otros cuerpos, pero la vivencia de Ariel siempre es otra. 'Ariel y los cuerpos' es la historia de un personaje que existe y que ama de una manera diferente, esquiva, siempre provisional y desconcertante. Con ecos de 'Orlando', el célebre tratado sobre género de Virginia Woolf, esta brillante novela es un homenaje a los amores que no llegan a nacer y a los amores que, una vez nacidos, viven tocados de muerte para siempre. Tras 'El dia que va morir David Bowie' (2016), libro por el que ganó el Premio Time Out Barcelona al Creador del Año, Portell vuelve a sorprendernos con esta joya literaria.

A collection of empowering stories and captivating photos, My Beautiful Black Hair celebrates an aspect of Black femininity—natural hair—and embraces it as a central part of Black womanhood. "A powerful celebration of self-acceptance and sisterhood." – Kirkus Review My Beautiful Black Hair is a book about Black women embracing their natural hair. One hundred and one Black women share their stories of learning to love their natural hair and the immense power in that self-love. St. Clair Detrick-Jules was inspired to write the book when her little sister, Khloe, came home from preschool where a classmate had told her that her hair was ugly. St. Clair wanted to send a message to Khloe and young Black women everywhere that their hair is beautiful just the way it is. The stories she captured reveal both the depth of the physical and emotional damage done to many women by relaxing their hair and trying to make it look "acceptable," and the incredible resilience, self-love, and acceptance they gained by learning to embrace their hair and free themselves from Eurocentric beauty standards. Accompanied by beautiful and intimate photographs of each woman, the book is an encouraging voice for young Black women and the adults who remember their own journeys to self-acceptance. WRITTEN BY BLACK WOMEN, FOR BLACK WOMEN: With powerful interviews and vivid photographs, this book offers an uplifting message to empower any woman looking to love herself just the way she is.

Does your dog know when you've had a bad day? Can your cat tell that the coffee pot you left on might start a fire? Could a chimpanzee be trained to program your computer? In this provocative book, noted animal expert Clive Wynne debunks some commonly held notions about our furry friends. It may be romantic to ascribe human qualities to critters, he argues, but it's not very realistic. While animals are by no means dumb, they don't think the same way we do. Contrary to what many popular television shows would have us believe, animals have neither the "theory-of-mind" capabilities that humans have (that is, they are not conscious of what others are thinking) nor the capacity for higher-level reasoning. So, in Wynne's view, when Fido greets your arrival by nudging your leg, he's more apt to be asking for dinner than commiserating with your job stress. That's not to say that animals don't possess remarkable abilities--and Do Animals Think? explores countless examples: there's the honeybee, which not only remembers where it found food but communicates this information to its hivemates through an elaborate dance. And how about the sonar-guided bat, which locates flying insects in the dark of night and devours lunch on the wing? Engagingly written, Do Animals Think? takes aim at the work of such renowned animal rights advocates as Peter Singer and Jane Goodall for falsely humanizing animals. Far from impoverishing our view of the animal kingdom, however, it underscores how the world is richer for having such a diversity of minds--be they of the animal or human variety.

The Bakerloo is the dull brown line on London's iconic tube map. It doesn't have the multiple branches of the Northern or District Lines, the loops of the Piccadilly or the Central, or the puzzling shape of the non-circular Circle.But its nondescript appearance belies a history encompassing fraud in the boardroom and drama in the courtroom for a line first conceived by sports enthusiasts and finished by Chicago gangsters. With over 120 photographs, this book provides a history of its development from obtaining Parliamentary permission and raising finance through to geology and construction techniques. It details its operation including rolling stock, signalling, stations and signage from the beginning to the current day. The impact of the two World Wars is revealed and it remembers some of the accidents and tragedies that befell the line. Finally, the book describes its evolution up to the present day and beyond.

At the outset of Marx for Cats, Leigh Claire La Berge declares that “all history is the history of cat struggle.” Revising the medieval bestiary form to meet Marxist critique, La Berge follows feline footprints through Western economic history to reveal an animality at the heart of Marxism. She draws on a twelve-hundred-year arc spanning capitalism’s feudal prehistory, its colonialist and imperialist ages, the bourgeois revolutions that supported capitalism, and the communist revolutions that opposed it to outline how cats have long been understood as creatures of economic critique and liberatory possibility. By attending to the repeated archival appearance of lions, tigers, wildcats, and “sabo-tabbies,” La Berge argues that felines are central to how Marxists have imagined the economy, and by asking what humans and animals owe each other in a moment of ecological crisis, La Berge joins current debates about the need for and possibility of eco-socialism. In this playful and generously illustrated radical bestiary, La Berge demonstrates that class struggle is ultimately an interspecies collaboration.
