NOVEDADES

Ottavi enjoyed a rare degree of open and candid access to Lagerfeld in his later years, and this biography offers an unparalleled look into the iconic designer’s complex personality and wide-ranging creativity. Lagerfeld himself wanted this to be a frank, honest, serious account that would be an invaluable resource for fashion lovers and admirers of his incomparable legacy. Unlike other recent books, this intimate portrait deftly reveals his true inner nature in his own words.

The story of a hero’s descent to the underworld Alice Law has only ever had one goal: to become one of the brightest minds in the field of Magick. She has sacrificed everything to make that a reality: her pride, her health, her love life, and most definitely her sanity. All to work with Professor Jacob Grimes at Cambridge, the greatest magician in the world. That is, until he dies in a magical accident that could possibly be her fault. Grimes is now in Hell, and she’s going in after him. Because his recommendation could hold her very future in his now incorporeal hands and even death is not going to stop the pursuit of her dreams…. Nor will the fact that her rival, Peter Murdoch, has come to the very same conclusion. With nothing but the tales of Orpheus and Dante to guide them, enough chalk to draw the Pentagrams necessary for their spells, and the burning desire to make all the academic trauma mean anything, they set off across Hell to save a man they don’t even like. But Hell is not like the storybooks say, Magick isn’t always the answer, and there’s something in Alice and Peter’s past that could forge them into the perfect allies…or lead to their doom.

Chloe Roberts is on top of the world. After a stellar first year at the prestigious Morton Academy, she’s a shoo-in for Head Girl and a coveted position in the school’s secret society, Jewel and Bone. But her dreams are shattered when her best friend, Nikhita Patel, unfairly snatches the top spot—and steals Chloe’s boyfriend at the same time. Heartbroken and humiliated, Chloe discovers a shocking truth: Jewel and Bone isn’t as secret as she thought. The rest of the school despises the Jewels, and there’s even a “Book of Crime and Punishment” cataloging their misdeeds. Things take a very dark turn when the names in the book start to correlate with murders of Jewel and Bone members on campus. Suddenly, anyone could be a suspect.

Este libro ofrece al lector en lengua española el primer comentario integral a los célebres Tres discursos para ocasiones supuestas de Søren Kierkegaard. Ángel Enrique Garrido Maturano no articula esta tarea por los senderos previsibles: no elabora un estudio filológico, asentado sobre las bases de la vieja crítica textual, que sea rico en detalle positivos sobre fuentes, influencias, varian- tes, etc.; pero tampoco nos ofrece –a contracorriente de ciertas lecturas de los textos del filósofo danés– un relato edificante, confesionalmente concernido, sobre una cierta modulación del cristianismo por la que se abogaría. La intención del autor es, por el contrario, ente- ramente filosófica: su lectura indaga, de modo fenomenológico y no confesional, en las tres situaciones decisivas de la existencia con las que se confronta –y nos confronta– el pensamiento de Kierkegaard: el tener que reconocerse a sí mismo tal cual uno es, expresado en la confesión, el amor al otro tal cual ese otro es, expresado en el matrimonio, y la muerte inexorable.

Their union is his revenge. Isolde de Lara considers her wedding day to be her death day. To end a years-long war, she is to marry vampire king Adrian Aleksandr Vasiliev, and kill him. But her assassination attempt is thwarted, and Adrian threatens that if Isolde tries to kill him again, he will raise her as the undead. Faced with the possibility of becoming the thing she hates most, Isolde seeks other ways to defy him and survive the brutal vampire court. Except it isn't the court she fears most—it's Adrian. Despite their undeniable chemistry, she wonders why the king—fierce, savage, merciless—chose her as consort. The answer will shatter her world.

Una guía práctica, paso a paso, basada en la evidencia científica actual y años de experiencia como psicólogo. Todos hemos oído hablar de la autoestima. De métodos y supuestas técnicas para mejorarla y reforzarla. Pero, por desgracia, es un tema que se ha abordado erróneamente en las últimas décadas. Porque, ¿y si te dijera que el problema con la autoestima es que en realidad está mal construida? No necesitamos parches, consejitos ni repetirnos frases bonitas para querernos más: necesitamos replantearnos seriamente de qué modo nos percibimos a nosotros mismos, cómo nos queremos, y corregir los errores para poder querernos bien. Si un reloj no da la hora correcta, la solución no es cambiarle la pila una y otra vez: hay que abrir la caja, sacar todas las piezas, reemplazar las que estén rotas y montarlo de nuevo, engrasado y listo. Del mismo modo, solo revisando los varios componentes que forman la autoestima, podremos relacionarnos con nosotros mismos de forma más sana.
