" La casa de Bernarda Alba " sigue siendo hoy un título frecuente en las carteleras teatrales, y no solo españolas. Desde su estreno en Buenos Aires en 1945, directores, escenógrafos y actores la han sentido como un reto. Quizá es difícil imaginar hoy una situación similar a la que se plantea en la obra. Vivir en un pueblo pequeño, donde el peso de la honra y la tradición ahoga a la mujer hasta el punto de que el luto por la muerte de alguien significa encerrarse durante ocho años en una casa sin tan siquiera poder asomarse a la ventana. Esta es la situación descrita en la obra. Un drama en el que un clamor callado de anhelos insatisfechos intenta encontrar algún resquicio hacia la libertad y la vida.

Bernice is having a truly rotten time at her friend's birthday party. First, everyone else gets a piece of cake with a frosting rose. But not Bernice. Then, everyone else gets strawberry-melon soda.

So when the balloons arrive, Bernice knows just what she has to do: grab them all. And then, poor cross Bernice gets carried up, up, and away. Luckily, she figures out just how to make her way back down to the party...and she brightens lots of other animals' days on her way.

A landmark survey of one of the most significant American photographers of the twentieth century Best known for his intimate portrayals of barrio communities of the Southwest United States, Louis Carlos Bernal made photographs in the late 1970s and 1980s that draw upon the resonance of Catholicism, Indigenous beliefs, and popular practices tied to the land. For Bernal, photography was a potent tool in affirming the value of individuals and communities who lacked visibility and agency. Working in both black and white and in color, he photographed the interiors of homes and their inhabitants, often presenting his subjects surrounded by the objects they lived with—framed portraits of family members, religious pictures and statuaries, small shrines festooned with flowers, and elements of contemporary popular culture. Bernal viewed these spaces as rich with personal, cultural, and spiritual meaning, and his unforgettable photographs express a vision of la vi

Berlin detective Bernie Gunther bows out at last in the 14th and final book of the Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling series. With an introduction by Ian Rankin.'One of the greatest anti-heroes ever written' LEE CHILD'One of the greatest master story-tellers in English' ALAN FURSTBerlin, 1928, the height of the Weimar Republic.

Face au peloton d’exécution qui allait le fusiller le 17 août 1946 à 7 h 05 à Alençon, Bernard Jardin, très pâle, prononçait d’une voix assez faible ses derniers mots : « Vive le national socialisme », puis avant que les balles ne fusent, il ajoutait « Et vive la France quand même ». À notre connaissance, Bernard Jardin demeure le seul auxiliaire de la Sipo-SD en Normandie à proclamer jusqu’au bout son adhésion au national-socialisme. Pourquoi ce jeune homme commis boucher choisit-il délibérément le camp nazi ? L’appât du gain l’amène d’abord à monter des affaires de marché noir. Repéré par Hildebrandt, le chef roué et manipulateur de l’antenne ornaise du Sipo-SD, Bernard Jardin devient d’abord agent de renseignement avant de prendre la responsabilité d’opérations contre la Résistance ornaise ; en quelques mois, lui et son équipe, portent des coups très durs à celle-ci. D’abord enquêteur, Jardin frappe et torture ses victimes avant de devenir un assassin.

Gracefully written and brilliantly illustrated, this handsome new volume captures the vision, the wit, and the down-to-earth inventiveness of one of the most influential and beloved architects of the early 20th century. Raised in Greenwich Village and trained in Paris, Maybeck spent most of his long career in northern California. An irrepressible bohemian with no desire to run a large office, he spent much of his time designing houses for friends and family, as well as for other patrons so loyal that they often hired him to design more than one house. Maybeck also created two of the most beautiful buildings in all of California: the exhilarating Church of Christ, Scientist, in Berkeley, and the gloriously romantic Palace of Fine Arts, in San Francisco. This incisive overview-the first to feature colour reproductions of Maybeck's exquisite interiors and exteriors-analyses every aspect of his life and work. Not only his architecture but also his furniture, his lighting designs, and his innovations in fire-resistant construction are thoroughly discussed and illustrated. The book is also enlivened by documentary photographs, by clearly drawn plans, and by several of Maybeck's dazzling, previously unpublished visionary drawings. Bernard Maybeck is a major study of an internationally significant architect whose environmentally responsive work has much to offer today's designers and whose houses have given enormous pleasure to those fortunate enough to visit or dwell in them.

"What I love, and those whom I love, you, that is to say us in so far as we are capable of forming a we, all this I love, and I love them, and I love you infinitely" (Bernard Steigler April 1952- August 2020). When Bernard Stiegler writes "I love you" in the quote above, he openly provokes us to question or experience the meaning or contact of these words. He also invites us to question the relationship between a thinker's life and their thought. For Stiegler, they were inextricable. His life was one that focused on friendship but not friendships at a purely social level but ones that produced philosophy, politics, and existential truths. Bringing together scholars who knew Stiegler, including Shaj Mohan, Achille Mbembe, Divya Dwivedi, Peter Szendy, and Emily Apter, this volume provides an original - and personal - insight into his life and philosophy. Each piece gives a sense of the wide range of Stiegler’s work and how it affected the praxis of the philosopher in different parts of the world.

Over the course of three days in 1970, June 5, 6, and 7, simply sitting on a white bench in a Hamburg park, Thomas Bernhard delivered a powerful monologue for Three Days (Drei Tage), filmmaker Ferry Radax’s commanding film portrait of the great Austrian writer. Radax interwove the monologue with a variety of metaphorically resonant visual techniques—blacking out the screen to total darkness, suggestive of the closing of the observing eye; cuts to scenes of cameramen, lighting and recording equipment; extreme camera distance and extreme closeup. Bernhard had not yet written his autobiographical work Gathering Evidence, published originally in five separate volumes between 1975 and 1982, and his childhood remembrances were a revelation. This publication of Bernhard’s monologue and stills from Radax’s artful film allows this unique portrait of Bernhard to be savored in book form.

His photos reflect locales he has visited all over the world: Senegal, Turkey, Poland, Mexico, Guatemala, and the American West. The photographs here were taken by Plossu in the late 1970s and are images of New Mexico - where the sun, the dust, the rain, the mud, the wind, the snow, the altitude (7000 feet), and the smells forge a uniqueness.

Bernard Shaw was twenty-four and Sidney Webb twenty-one when they met in October 1880 at a gathering of a debating club called the Zetetical Society. Having sympathetic interests, both men decided, after some personal and joint exploration, to devote their lives to improving the human condition. This collection of 140 annotated letters, 74 of which have never been published, documents the subsequent friendship and collaboration shared by Shaw, Webb, and Webb's wife Beatrice, throughout their lives. The letters, written between 1883 and 1946, discuss the founding of the Fabian Society, the British Labour Party, the London School of Economics, and the New Statesman through the Boer, First, and Second World Wars. Fully annotated with headnotes and footnotes, this collection will expand the general view of Shaw the dramatist to incorporate Shaw the political activist and lifelong friend of the Webbs.

Atribuida por su autor a Bernardo Soares, personalidad literaria de quien dijo Pessoa soy yo menos el raciocinio y la afectividad, esta maravilla es el diario íntimo de un ayudante de contable en la ciudad de Lisboa en los años 30. En él, el protagonista plasma sus divagaciones y ensueños así como sus reflexiones estéticas, filosóficas y literarias, contraponiéndolas a lo gris de su vida cotidiana. Inédito hasta 1982, el Libro del desasosiego es probablemente la principal obra en prosa de Fernando Pessoa, que lo ocupó durante la mayor parte de su vida de escritor: desde 1912, aproximadamente, hasta el mismo año de su muerte. Ha sido elogiado por la crítica como uno de los dietarios más bellos del siglo XX, y en él se entrelazan el ensayo, el poema en prosa e incluso lo narrativo y descriptivo. En la presente edición, Ángel Crespo dejó fijada una organización del material que sirvió de base para su publicación en otras lenguas, estableciendo la unidad de sentido que el autor hubiese de

The American artist Theresa Ferber Bernstein (1890–2002) made and exhibited her work in every decade of the twentieth century. This authoritative book about Bernstein provides an overview of her life and artistic career, examining her relationships with contemporary artists. Bernstein’s work is noteworthy, even among her more famous male contemporaries such as John Sloan, Stuart Davis, and Edward Hopper, all of whom she knew. Working in realist and expressionist styles, she treated the major subjects of her time, including the fight for women’s suffrage, the plight of immigrants, World War I, jazz, unemployment, racial discrimination, and occasionally explicitly Jewish themes such as a synagogue interior or ritual objects such as a menorah. She was a member of the American Artists’ Congress and painted a mural for the U.S. government during the Great Depression. Bernstein’s portrait subjects include Albert Einstein, Martha Graham, Judy Garland, Louis Armstrong, Lil Hardin, and Billie Holiday, yet it is her particular sensibility and empathy with those subjects that set her apart from her mostly male contemporaries. Theresa Bernstein: A Century in Art includes thematic essays by Michele Cohen, Patricia M. Burnham, Elsie Heung, Sarah Archino, Stephanie Hackett, Gillian Pistell, and by the editor, Gail Levin. It features more than two hundred images, including full-color reproductions of her art and rare documentary photographs, many published here for the first time. It also includes a detailed chronology of Bernstein’s life, a list of public collections, and a list of her writings.
