NOVEDADES

En un mundo dominado por la explotación voraz y la injusticia sistemática, la literatura se convierte en un arma arrojadiza. Takiji Kobayashi, el gran exponente de la narrativa proletaria japonesa, empuñó su pluma sin miedo para denunciar las condiciones inhumanas de los trabajadores y pagó con su vida el precio de su valentía.Esta antología reúne sus relatos más emblemáticos, encabezados por su obra maestra, El cangrejero (Kanikosen), un feroz retrato de la brutalidad capitalista a bordo de un barco factoría, donde los tripulantes son reducidos a meras piezas de una maquinaria despiadada.Con un estilo directo y una fuerza arrolladora, Kobayashi plasma la agónica desesperación de los explotados, pero también su determinación por luchar, en historias cargadas de realismo y emoción que son un testimonio conmovedor de la dignidad humana.

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.

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.
