Overview

Ann Patchett, the New York Times bestselling author of Commonwealth and State of Wonder, returns with her most powerful novel to date: a richly moving story that explores the indelible bond between two siblings, the house of their childhood, and a past that will not let them go. “'Do you think it’s possible to ever see the past as it actually was?’ I asked my sister. We were sitting in her car, parked in front of the Dutch House in the broad daylight of early summer.” At the end of the Second World War, Cyril Conroy combines luck and a single canny investment to begin an enormous real estate empire, propelling his family from poverty to enormous wealth. His first order of business is to buy the Dutch House, a lavish estate in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia. Meant as a surprise for his wife, the house sets in motion the undoing of everyone he loves. The story is told by Cyril’s son Danny, as he and his older sister, the brilliantly acerbic and self-assured Maeve, are exiled from the house where they grew up by their stepmother. The two wealthy siblings are thrown back into the poverty their parents had escaped from and find that all they have to count on is one another. It is this unshakeable bond between them that both saves their lives and thwarts their futures. Set over the course of five decades, The Dutch House is a dark fairy tale about two smart people who cannot overcome their past. Despite every outward sign of success, Danny and Maeve are only truly comfortable when they’re together. Throughout their lives they return to the well-worn story of what they’ve lost with humor and rage. But when at last they’re forced to confront the people who left them behind, the relationship between an indulged brother and his ever-protective sister is finally tested. The Dutch House is the story of a paradise lost, a tour de force that digs deeply into questions of inheritance, love and forgiveness, of how we want to see ourselves and of who we really are. Filled with suspense, you may read it quickly to find out what happens, but what happens to Danny and Maeve will stay with you for a very long time.

Overview

Notes From Your Bookseller Could there be a hotter men's fashion designer today than Virgil Abloh? The artistic director of the men's fashion line at Louis Vuitton and the founder and CEO of the luxury line Off White is taking his inimitable style and craft to this book using Nike as his source of inspiration. Alboh takes 10 iconic Nike shoes and redesigns them in ways that only a fashion designer can conceive. The book takes the reader deep into the creative process and shows how sneaker design can be practical and breathtakingly beautiful. In 2016, sportswear manufacturer Nike and fashion designer Virgil Abloh joined forces to create a sneaker collection celebrating 10 of the Oregon-based company’s most iconic shoes. With their project The Ten—which reimagines icons like Air Jordan 1, Air Max 90, Air Force 1, and Air Presto, among others—they reinvigorated sneaker culture. Virgil Abloh’s new designs offer deep insights into engineering ingenuity and burst with cultural cachet. Drawing on the genius of the original shoe using lettering, ironic labels, collage, and sculpting techniques, Abloh plays with language and sculptural elements to construct new meaning. Inspired by the wit of Dadaism, architectural theory, and avant-garde happenings, he analyzes what makes each shoe iconic and deconstructs it into an artistic assemblage, making each shoe into a piece of industrial design, a readymade sculpture, and a wearable all at once.Icons traces Abloh’s investigative, creative process through documentation of the prototypes, original text messages from Abloh to Nike designers, and treasures from the Nike archives. We find Swooshes sliced away from Air Jordans and reapplied with tape or thread, Abloh’s typical text fragments in quotation marks on Air Force 1, and All Stars cut into pieces. We take a look behind the scenes and witness Abloh’s DIY approach, which gives each model in the Off-WhiteTM c/o Nike collection its own unique touch. The book documents Abloh’s cooperative way of working and reaffirms the power of print. For its design Nike and Abloh partnered with the acclaimed London-based design studio Zak Group. Together they conceived a two-part compendium, equal parts catalog and conceptual toolbox. The first part of the book presents a visual culture of sneakers while a lexicon in the second part defines the key people, places, objects, ideas, materials, and scenes from which the project grew. Texts by Nike’s Nicholas Schonberger, writer Troy Patterson, curator and historian Glenn Adamson, and Virgil Abloh himself frame the collaborative work within fashion and design history. A forward by Hiroshi Fujiwara places the project within the historical continuum of Nike collaborators.

Nuestro librero Raúl Garrido (Oficinas Centrales) recomienda Memorias de un mujeriego: "Del Ganador del premio Príncipe de Asturias de las Letras 2011, nos llega esete poemario exquisito; un canto a las vivencias, las complejidades de las relaciones humanas y la naturaleza femenina".

En cuanto al derrumbamiento del viejo sistema, estoy dispuesto a dejarlo caer y, sin embargo, juro defenderlo. Personalmente, apenas puedo alejar mi mente de las arrugas de sus faldas. No sé, desearía que se diesen prisa y tomaran el poder. Dejad que lo consigan. Yo me rindo.

Overview

Edición especial y definitiva de la gran obra del Premio Nobel de Literatura Orhan Pamuk, ampliada con 250 nuevas fotografías y una nueva introducción.

Estambul. Ciudad y recuerdoses sin duda el libro más célebre de Orhan Pamuk. Su publicación en lengua española en 2006 y la obtención del Premio Nobel ese mismo año colocaron al autor en primera línea del panorama narrativo internacional, convirtiéndose en el gran referente de la literatura turca. El autor nació en Estambul y aún hoy sigue viviendo en el mismo apartamento familiar. El retrato de esta ciudad asentada en las ruinas de un imperio perdido, con sus decrépitas mansiones con vistas al Bósforo, así como de la familia de Pamuk y de los escritores y artistas que dieron forma a la percepción de la metrópoli, es a su vez un autorretrato refractado por elhüzün,la«melancolía turca» que comparte con sus conciudadanos, y por su propia memoria.

Desde la publicación original de la obra, Orhan Pamuk ha seguido ampliando su colección de fotografías de Estambul, seleccionando más de doscientas imágenes adicionales, provenientes de sus archivos familiares, de coleccionistas especializados en la ciudad y de fotógrafos como Ara Güler o Henri Cartier-Bresson, para incluirlas en esta nueva ...
