NOVEDADES

In the beginning was the word, and in the Middle Ages were kings, princes, and high-ranking religious members whose wealth and influence produced illustrated bibles of extraordinary craftsmanship. This edition brings together 50 of the finest medieval bible manuscripts from the Austrian National Library. With examples from every epoch of the Middle Ages, the collection explores visualizations of the bible in various theological and historical contexts. In impeccable reproduction quality, these stunning images may be appreciated as much as art historical treasures as they are important religious artifacts.

Meet Jessica Jones: Retired super hero, private investigator, loner. She tried her best to be a shiny spandex crimefighter, but that life only led to unspeakable trauma. Now she avoids that world altogether and works on surviving day-to-day in Hell’s Kitchen, New York. The morning a distraught mother comes into her office, Jessica would prefer to nurse her hangover and try to forget last night’s poor choices. But something about Amber Randall’s story strikes a chord with her. Amber is adamant that something happened to her teenage twins while they were visiting their father in the UK. The twins don’t act like themselves, and they now have flawless skin, have lost their distinctive tics and habits, and keep talking about a girl named Belle. Amber insists her children have been replaced by something horrible, something “perfect.” Traveling to a small village in the British countryside, Jessica meets the mysterious Belle, who lives a curiously isolated life in an old farmhouse with a strange woman who claims to be her guardian. Can this unworldly teenager really be responsible for the Randall twins’ new personas? Why does the strange little village of Barton Wallop seem to harbor dark energies and mysteries in its tight-knit community?

Brilla sobre mí un sol que invento, este verso de Nocturnidad del viento, detonó esta mirada central en la poesía de Mateo Morrison para mí, implicaba esta noción triple de cuerpo, naturaleza y sociedad, “brilla sobre mf expresaba la noción de cuerpo, de forma física, “un soP' indicaba la apertura de lo natural, el sol es un astro encendido del universo, pero este sol no es designado “el sol' sino “un sol”, es decir, de los soles posibles de aquel universo, sólo hablamos de uno, un sol, además, “que invento”, que estoy figurándome, estamos diciendo entonces que ese sol inventado pertenece al ámbito de la cultura, del conocimiento, del arte. Hay un vencimiento de la naturaleza por el arte. El sol cenital y radiante, abrillanta la carne de un cuerpo en su figura esplendente, todo esto pasa en la mente del poeta, todo lo dicho es una invención de la poesía, en el mismo sentido de poeisis que refería Platón, “poeisis: creación pura de la mente”.
