NOVEDADES

Unpopular at school and subjected to her mother’s religious fanaticism at home, Carrie White does not have it easy. But while she may be picked on by her classmates, she has a gift she’s kept secret since she was a little girl: she can move things with her mind. Doors lock. Candles fall. Her ability has been both a power and a problem. And when she finds herself the recipient of a sudden act of kindness, Carrie feels like she’s finally been given a chance to be normal. She hopes that the nightmare of her classmates’ vicious taunts is over . . . but an unexpected and cruel prank turns her gift into a weapon of horror so destructive that the town may never recover.

Caravaggio, or more accurately Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610), was a legend even in his own lifetime. Notorious bad boy of Italian painting, the artist was at once celebrated and controversial: Violent in temper, precise in technique, a creative master, and a man on the run. This work offers a comprehensive reassessment of Caravaggio’s entire œuvre with a catalogue raisonné of his works. Each painting is reproduced in large format, with recent, high production photography allowing for dramatic close-ups with Caravaggio's ingenious details of looks and gestures. Five introductory chapters analyze Caravaggio's artistic career from his early struggle to make a living, through his first public commissions in Rome, and his growing celebrity status. They look at his increasing daring with lighting and with a boundary-breaking naturalism which allowed even biblical events to unfold with an unprecedented immediacy before the viewer.

«Un canto de denuncia, testimonio fidedigno de la violencia en Centroamérica». Fiel a su compromiso poético, William González nos regala su confesión más humana. El poeta que pudo haber empuñado un arma, pero eligió la palabra. Un poemario desgarrador y tan extraordinariamente sagaz como clarividente, que articula una denuncia poética de la violencia estructural de América Central. Hay una memoria colectiva que toma cuerpo y se pronuncia a través de historias profundas y trágicas, cuyas víctimas son jóvenes armados, mujeres violadas o migrantes que sueñan con un destino mejor. Una voz testimonial que disecciona la barbarie.
