NOVEDADES

What is a meaningful life, and how do we make one? How do certain communities foster closeness, fulfillment, happiness, and energy? In Flourish, bestselling author and leading culture expert Daniel Coyle trains his eye on the groups and people who demonstrate exceptional connectivity, presence, and dynamism. He draws on research and original reporting—taking us inside an unlikely brotherhood of thirty-three men who were trapped in a Chilean mine, a tiny Michigan deli that blossomed into a $90 million ecosystem of businesses, an inventive Dutch soccer team that revolutionized the sport as we know it, and a disconnected Paris district that remade itself into a tight-knit neighborhood—to reveal the principles and practices that ignite and sustain thriving. He finds that flourishing groups do two things: They make meaning (creating deep connections) and build community (forging a common good). Through captivating real-world stories, rigorous scientific studies, and firsthand accounts, Coyle reveals what sets some groups apart—and offers you the tools and insights to flourish in your own life.

To find the answer, Maya must finally come to terms with deep secrets and deceit in her own past before she can face the unbelievable truth about her husband—and herself.

Frankenstein es el paradigma de novela gótica creada como respuesta a la necesidad de adaptación del viejo mito griego a las modernas realidades científicas y literarias que el incipiente siglo XIX exigía a un grupo de escogidos creadores. La historia inventada por Mary Shelley nos cuenta cómo, a finales del siglo XVIiI, un estudiante de medicina suizo, Víctor Frankenstein, crea una abominable criatura a partir de los restos de cadáveres. El nuevo ser, rechazado por la gente, abatido por la melancolía y sumido en la más cruel de las soledades, degenera en un brutal monstruo que amarga la vida de su creador.
