No pocas veces los filósofos y los poetas se embarcan en las mismas aventuras del pensamiento y de la intuición. Así, mientras en la dimensión de Homero y de la Ilíada, la flecha de Paris lanzada desde las murallas de Troya recorre una línea de palabras y llega siempre a la pierna de Aquiles, la flecha de Zenón, lanzada en Elea hace 2600 años, atraviesa una línea numérica eternamente divisible por dos y todavía hoy no logra llegar a su imposible destino.

Un despiadado guerrero con un pasado oscuro. Un falso matrimonio lleno de secretos. ¿Vale la pena arriesgarlo todo por salvar un reino que no es tuyo? Cuando pienso que el día más horrible de mi vida no puede ir a peor… una carta de tarot me transporta a un mundo en el que los Arcanos son reales: Towerfall. Mi prioridad es regresar a casa, y Kane, un caballero exiliado, insiste en que la única manera de lograrlo es adentrarnos en el palacio y convencer al Rey de Pentáculos de que estamos casados.

Alemania será una potencia mundial o no será». Adolf Hitler El desembarco de los Aliados en Normandía marcó el principio del fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial e inauguró una lucha totalmente desequilibrada. Las órdenes del dictador de combatir hasta el último hombre en pie condujeron a los defensores del Reich a una masacre. Por qué, cómo y en qué medida las tropas alemanas continuaron una lucha cada vez más desesperada son las cuestiones centrales de esta obra que rompe con todos los tópicos sobre esta temida fuerza. La Wehrmacht nacionalsocialista y sus protagonistas se muestran en su máxima miseria bajo las fuentes inéditas de Jean-Luc Leleu, el historiador que más esfuerzos ha hecho por desmitificar el Tercer Reich en los últimos años. La leyenda de que las tropas alemanas mantuvieron las manos limpias en la guerra de los jerarcas nazis es simplemente una falsificación. Igual que lo es el mito de que su derrota fue exclusivamente provocada por la creciente intromisión de Hitler en la dirección de las operaciones.

Thirty-five contemporary artists create their own version of Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe. Édouard Manet’s Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe (1863) is generally cited as the first modern painting. The entry slide in art history lectures about modernism, the work remains among the “most audacious painting[s] ever seen in France,” as Ross King described it in The Judgement of Paris (2006). As Manet did with Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe, the most provocative painters today collapse the historical and the contemporary onto one plane. Jeffrey Deitch invited a group of these influential artists to create their own versions, combined here with historical responses to Manet’s painting. The slim volume features these often biting and satirical works alongside essays discussing Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe’s enduring influence on contemporary figurative painting.

At sixteen, Honora “Nora” Holtzfall is the daughter of the most powerful heiress in all of Walstad. Her family controls all the money–and all the magic–in the entire country. But despite being the center of attention, Nora has always felt like an outsider. When her mother is found dead in an alley, the family throne and fortune are suddenly up for grabs, and Nora will be pitted against her cousins in the Veritaz, the ultimate magical competition for power that determines the one family heir. But there’s a surprise contestant this time: Lotte, the illegitimate daughter of Nora’s aunt. When Lotte’s absent mother retrieves her from the rural convent she’d abandoned her to, Lotte goes from being an orphan to surrounded by family. Unfortunately, most of them want her dead.

Noria, a single-by-choice barista with a little resentment for the "crazy cat lady" label, is a member of The Meow-Yorkers, a group in Brooklyn who takes care of the neighborhood's stray cats. On her volunteering days, she starts finding Post-it notes left by a secret admirer in the area where she feeds her favorite stray-a black cat named Cat. Like most felines, he is both curious and observant, so of course he knows who the notes are from. Noria, however, is clueless. Are the notes from Collin, a bestselling author and self-professed hermit with a weakness for good coffee? Are they from Lily, a fresh-out-of-high-school Georgia native searching for her long-lost half sister? Are they from Omar, the beloved neighborhood mailman going through an early midlife crisis? Or are they from Bong, the grieving widower who owns Noria's favorite bodega?
