"Abandon the Old in Tokyo "continues to delve into the urban underbelly of 1960s Tokyo, exposing not only the seedy dealings of the Japanese everyman but Yoshihiro Tatsumi's maturation as a storyteller. Many of the stories deal with the economic hardships of the time and the strained relationships between men and women, but do so by means of dark allegorical twists and turns. A young sewer cleaner's girlfriend has a miscarriage and leaves him when he proves incapable of finding higher-paying work. When a factory worker loses his hand on the job, the parallels between him and his pet monkey prove startling and significant.
Ocho narraciones trenzadas con la extraordinaria prosa de HiromiKawakami, la autora más aclamada de la literatura japonesa actual.Losocho relatos que componen este libro, si bien totalmenteindependientes los unos respecto a los demás, parecen atravesados porel mismo eje, tejidos con el mismo hilo, sutil pero firme en suatadura. Con asombrosa sensibilidad, Kawakami hilvana historias quehablan de enamoramientos, de desenga?o, de pasión, de sexo, de amor ydel casi inevitable desamor, y dibuja unos personajes hermosamenteheridos, mujeres que descubren lo que la vida parece depararles parabien o para mal.La extraordinaria prosa de la autora nos empapa con la fina lluvia de sus narraciones, nos hace sentir el miedo y larepugnancia, la indignación, el dolor y el odio, pero también lacomprensión, la empatía y el apego por los personajes que nospresenta. A un ritmo suave pero en ningún caso lento, Kawakami nosacerca a lo dulce y amargo de la vida y el amor.Críticas:«Con un lirismo delicado y nada efectista, Kawakami relata el dolor de la separación y la intromisión de la muerte.»El Mundo«Kawakami vuelve a hacer gala de una fina delicadeza, calidadtan poco habitual como bienvenida estos días.»La Vanguardia«Una disección apasionante de las relaciones y laconducta humana.»El País«Conmovedora lectura de estos delicados relatos.»Hoy de Extremadura«Kawakami expresa, desde varios ángulos y con unariqueza sensorial y psicológica potentísima, una visión profundamentemelancólica y afligida de la feminidad. Un libro espléndido.»Ara«Unos bellísimos, inquietantes y melancólicos relatos escritos enuna prosa transparente.»Levante«La prosa de Kawakami bien puede definirse como cristalina:está construida con la precisión hermosa y reticular, perfectamenteconectada, de un cristal.»El Norte de Castilla

An exceptional photographic report of Abandoned Italy. Robin Brinaert has been travelling around Italy for over eight years in search of these abandoned, forbidden places. He highlights the sometimes dramatic fate of our heritage - a serious reflection on safeguarding.
Award-winning photographer James Kerwin's love affair with Lebanon started in 2017 when he began his research into locating interesting, unique, and abandoned architecture. That relationship grew stronger when he finally set foot in the country for the first time in 2019, and began uncovering these architectural delights.Beautiful yet haunting photographs of abandoned places in Lebanon – once thriving buildings now ravaged by nature and time are the subject of this fascinating, coffee table photo book. Lebanon is a country that still holds many secrets of what life was like there prior to the civil war, and more recently the Beirut port blast.Inside, we discover ruins, deserted buildings, and glamorous architecture all tucked away from the public eye. These include the abandoned mansion of a former prime minister, one of the most remarkable buildings in Zokak el-Blat, Beirut, a once glorious hotel now bearing its war wounds, a 17th-century palace in Deir El Qamar, and a stunning yet unfinished passion project, where each arch of the structure reflects a different civilisation.
With 150 outstanding colour photographs exploring hauntingly beautiful locations, Abandoned Places is a brilliant and moving pictorial examination of worlds we have left behind.
Relics of the Soviet conquest of space, Moscow Pioneer camps, remnants of propaganda along a journey sparsely dotted with statues of Stalin or Lenin, from traditional Moldovan houses to ghosts of the Caucasian wars, by way of petro-chemical factories in the Donbass ...This report invites the reader to relive, through its striking pictures, more than ahundred years of history, from the beginnings of the Soviet period to the legacy of acommunist era now fast fading from memory.Terence Abela has spent nine years travelling across the former USSR unearthing fragments from its past. His love of history, of photographing relics of the past and discovering the unknown, have combined to create this work. Driven by a desire to preserve the heritage abandoned by states that lurch between the threat of nationalism, dictatorship, wars and the will to invent a new history for themselves, he appeals to us through his pictures to protect these mementos which are at risk of disappearing in the not too distant future.

Also included arelots of fabulous new verses and more eye-popping illustrations. Filled with fun animal facts, ABC Animal Jamboree is a read-aloud classic little ones will love!
"L" is for lion, prowling across the page! "G" is for a giraffe, ambling along! "W" is for whale, jumping in and out of the waves! Marrying the ABCs with the magic of Scanimation and the excitement of a child's visit to the zoo, ABC ANIMALS! is an alphabet book unlike any other. With four letters and four corresponding animal names and moving images per spread (except for the first spread, with a horizontal snapping alligator, and the last spread, which features one massive image of the entire zoo!), ABC ANIMALS! presents the alphabet - and Scanimation! - in a whole new way. As children interact with the pages, they will familiarize themselves not only with the 26 letters, but also with zoo animals and how each one uniquely moves as they turn the page. ABC Animals makes learning the alphabet a wildly fun and completely interactive. Scanimation is the technology behind the New York Times best-selling series that started with Gallop! and is perfectly applied here to the ABCs.
