Encuadernación: RústicaColección: Pequeña Biblioteca GadirDescripción: 70 p. 18x11 cmEste volumen contiene dos textos de Lewis Carroll desconocidos para el público lector en español, dos aproximaciones inusuales al genial autor de Alicia. El primero "Alimentar la mente", es una conferencia que dictó Carroll sobre la lectura y sus bondades, en clave de humor y genial por momentos. El segundo texto, "Ocho o nueve palabras sabias sobre escritura epistolar", es un texto amable, curioso, delirante y también lleno de humor. En él Carroll describe sus singulares prácticas a la hora de redactar y clasificar su correspondencia. Muchos de sus consejos, en esta época en que la escritura por carta parece extinguirse, siguen siendo útiles, pues lo son para las relaciones personales, y por qué no? para la escritura de correo electrónico. Pero sobre todo, el lector pasará a lo largo del texto de la sonrisa a la carcajada. Esta edición contiene las ilustraciones en color que acompañaron a l

Encuadernación: rústicaColección: Sillón OrejeroLewis Trondheim lleva una felicidad atormentada. Son ya 80 días sin ponerse delante de un nuevo álbum después de haber estado durante 14 años dibujando y también escribiendo para otros de forma ininterrumpida y tremendamente prolífica. Detecta el problema de la repetición y tras preguntarse "Por qué los autores de cómic envejecen mal?" intenta encontrar las esquivas claves que permitan mantener la frescura y la magia que eviten derivar hacia un definitivo agotamiento creativo. Para ello, en sus viajes a distintos salones de cómic a los que es invitado y que alterna supervisando a un equipo de guionistas de una serie de animación para TV sobre El rey catástrofe, decide contrastar experiencias y "documentarse" con múltiples encuentros, conversaciones y correos electrónicos cruzados con autores jóvenes y veteranos ?todos ellos antropomorfizados como él?, de Moebius y Gotlib a Sfar y Frank Margerin, de Bilal y Fred a Christophe Blain y

Escrito seis años después de "Alicia en el País de las Maravillas" y contando con la misma protagonista, "A través del espejo y lo que Alicia encontró al otro lado" ?relato planteado como una partida de ajedrez en la que Alicia, de peón, se convierte en reina?, lleva hasta sus últimas posibilidades los juegos de palabras, las parodias cultas y los recursos literarios que Lewis Carroll utilizara ya en su antecesora. Velada en ocasiones por la mayor popularidad de su antecesora, A través del espejo no sólo no desmerece en absoluto de ella, sino que cuenta entre sus personajes con algunos de los más citados y conocidos de este peculiar universo, como Tararí y Tarará (Tweedledee y Tweedledum) o el oviforme Zanco Panco (Humpty Dumpty).

The Insurrection mounted by the Sendero Luminoso or ‘Shining Path’ guerrilla movement, sparked one of the most vicious civil wars in recent Latin American history, in which an estimated 69,000 people lost their lives. A high proportion of the victims comprised rural people from Peru’s Andean mountains. Shining Path: Guerrilla War in Peru’s Northern Highlands examines the origins and trajectory of the conflict in the Cajabamba-Huamachuco region, located in the country’s northern sierra, a hitherto ignored theatre of conflict in Peru’s recent civil war. Central to the book is the changing relations between guerrilla fighters and the rural population. How, and to what extent, did the Shining Path succeed in building popular support? What tensions arose between the rebels and the civilians? The book also surveys the literature on Shining Path dealing with the Ayacucho and other departments, comparing and contrasting developments elsewhere in the north. Taylor traces the area’s recent agrarian history, assessing the impact of land reform and the emergence of radical peasant organizations in the decade preceding the initiation of armed activity. Using interview data and reports drafted by the security forces, Taylor reveals the the state responses to this violent and bloody insurrection. Expertly written and extremely accessible, Shining Path: Guerrilla War in Peru’s Northern Highlands provides a comprehensive analysis of a tragically ignored chapter in Peru’s civil war.

'Generous but unflinching, sweeping but intimate, fictional but true' KAREN JOY FOWLER. 'A brilliant requiem for our generation and all our dreams' GEORGE R.R. MARTIN. What happened to the idealism of the 1960s? This question has haunted a generation. Outside the Gates of Eden follows two men from their first meeting in high school to their final destination in the 21st century. Alex is torn between his father's business empire and his own artistic yearnings. Cole, constantly uprooted in his childhood, finds his calling at a Bob Dylan concert in 1965. From the Summer of Love in San Francisco to the Woodstock festival in upstate New York, from campus protests to the Soho art scene, from a communal farm in Virginia to the mariachis of Guanajuato, Mexico, the novel charts the rise and fall of the counterculture – and what came after. Using the music business as a window into the history of half a century, Outside the Gates of Eden is both epic and intimate, starkly realistic and ultimately hopeful, a War and Peace for the Woodstock generation. 'Shiner displays the panoramic historical consciousness of a Pynchon or DeLillo, and yet every page is suffused with a humble and scrupulous humanity... You simply live with his people and know them and love them' JONATHAN LETHEM. 'A page-turning tour de force. Anyone with a passion for rock and roll storytelling at its very best must not deny themselves the opportunity to read this tale. A masterpiece' IAIN MATTHEWS. 'A history of a generation seen through the lens of music' JOHN KESSEL.
