Mientras se iban publicando los relatos reunidos en el segundo volumen de estos Cuentos completos, entre 1909 y 1937, Edith Wharton se adentrará en el siglo xx, en el que vivirá las fracturas sociales del nacimiento del siglo, el conflicto de la I Guerra Mundial en primera persona, el periodo de entreguerras y el Crack del 29. Son los cuentos que aparecieron antes y después de su novela universal, La edad de la inocencia (Premio Pulitzer en 1921). Son sus décadas de mayor esplendor literario, donde su prosa alcanzó las mayores cotas de calidad y sus cuentos reflejaron como pocos el advenimiento de un nuevo mundo y una nueva sensibilidad.
A must-have collector's edition of Junot Diaz's bestseller and National Book Award finalist, brilliantly illustrated by celebrated comic artist Jaime Hernandez A major "New York Times "bestseller and a finalist for the National Book Award, "This Is How You Lose Her "is Pulitzer Prize-winner Junot Diaz's celebration of love in all its facets--obsessive love, illicit love, fading love, maternal love. For this gorgeous new edition, Jaime Hernandez--deemed "one of the twentieth century's most significant comic creators"--has crafted stunning full-page illustrations, one for each story, that brilliantly capture the love-haunted spirit of the book and of the gutsy women whom irrepressible, irresistible Yunior loves and loses.
On January 20, 2001, after nearly thirty years in politics—eight of them as president of the United States—Bill Clinton was suddenly a private citizen. Only fifty-four years old, full of energy and ideas, he wanted to make meaningful use of his skills, his relationships with world leaders, and all he’d learned in a lifetime of politics, but how? Just days after leaving the White House, the call came to aid victims of a devastating earthquake in India, and Clinton hit the ground running. Over the next two decades, he would create an enduring legacy of public service and advocacy work, from Indonesia to Louisiana, Northern Ireland to South Africa, and in the process reimagine philanthropy and redefine the impact a former president could have on the world.
