«Una novela maravillosa con intriga, amor, misterio y ternura.» Mario Vargas Llosa, Premio Nobel de LiteraturaUna novela de amor y espionaje en el exotismo colonial de África.Sola y acuciada por deudas ajenas, Sira se traslada a Tetuán, la capital del Protectorado español en Marruecos. Con argucias inconfesables y ayudada por amistades de reputación dudosa, forja una nueva identidad y logra poner en marcha un selecto atelier en el que atiende a clientas de orígenes remotos y presentes insospechados.A partir de entonces, el destino de la protagonista queda ligado a un puñado de personajes históricos quienes la empujarán hacia un arriesgado compromiso en el que las telas, las puntadas y los patrones de su oficio se convertirán en la fachada visible de algo mucho más turbio y peligroso.Escrita en una prosa espléndida, El tiempo entre costuras avanza con ritmo imparable por los mapas, la memoria y la nostalgia, transportándonos hasta los legendarios enclaves coloniales del norte de África, al Madrid proalemán de la inmediata posguerra y a una Lisboa cosmopolita repleta de espías, oportunistas y refugiados sin rumbo.El tiempo entre costuras es una aventura apasionante en la que los talleres de alta costura, el glamour de los grandes hoteles, las conspiraciones políticas y las oscuras misiones de los servicios secretos se funden con la lealtad hacia aquellos a quienes queremos y con el poder irrefrenable del amor.

Brooches, rings, buckles, pendants, buttons, purses and other accessories were part of everyday dress in the middle ages. Over two thousand such items dating from the period 1150-1450 are described and discussed here, all found in recent archaeological excavations in London - then as now one of western Europe's most cosmopolitan cities, its social and economic activity compounded by the waterside bustle of the Thames. These finds constitute the most extensive and varied group of such accessories yet recovered in Britain, and their close dating and the scientific analysis carried out on them have been highly revealing. Important results published here for the first time show, for example, the popularity of shoddy, mass-produced items in base metals during the high middle ages and enable researchers to identify the varied products of rival traditions of manufacture mentioned in historical sources. Anyone needing accurate information on period costume will welcome this book, which will appeal to the general reader interested in costume and design, as well as to archaeologists and historians. THE AUTHORS are members of staff of the Museum of London.

Desde su aparición en 1949, El héroe de las mil caras ha influenciado a millones de lectores de todo el mundo, desde antropólogos y cineastas hasta escritores y artistas, con sus penetrantes aportaciones psicológicas basadas en una profunda y renovadoracomprensión de la mitología comparada. A lo largo de este libro, Joseph Campbell nos va describiendo, paso a paso, el viaje iniciático del héroe ?su partida, iniciación, culminación y regreso?, cuya aventura transformadora de la experiencia anímica humana recorre todas las tradiciones míticas, para terminar analizando el ciclo cosmogónico de creación y destrucción del mundo, en el que los dioses nacen y perecen cíclicamente en su ocaso, como una eterna repetición del devenir. Tras ofrecernos una amplia comparación del simbolismo deciertos sueños con el de las referencias mitológicas más dispares?desde Grecia, África o Polinesia hasta los cuentos de hadastradicionales?, Campbell nos indica que, a causa de la progresivaracionalización de todo nuestro sistema de pensamiento, las imágenessimbólicas se han refugiado en su lugar de origen ?lo inconsciente?,dejándonos desamparados frente a los dilemas queen otros tiempos resolvían los sistemas psicológicos del mito.Como señala Campbell, «los viejos maestros bien sabían loque decían», y una vez que hemos aprendido a leer su lenguajesimbólico a través de la psicología junguiana, se nos abre lapuerta a todos sus misterios.
What can fashionable ideas, blind faith, or pure fantasy possibly have to do with the scientific quest to understand the universe? Surely, theoretical physicists are immune to mere trends, dogmatic beliefs, or flights of fancy? In fact, acclaimed physicist and bestselling author Roger Penrose argues that researchers working at the extreme frontiers of physics are just as susceptible to these forces as anyone else. In this provocative book, he argues that fashion, faith, and fantasy, while sometimes productive and even essential in physics, may be leading today's researchers astray in three of the field's most important areas - string theory, quantum mechanics, and cosmology. Arguing that string theory has veered away from physical reality by positing six extra hidden dimensions, Penrose cautions that the fashionable nature of a theory can cloud our judgment of its plausibility. In the case of quantum mechanics, its stunning success in explaining the atomic universe has led to an uncritical faith that it must also apply to reasonably massive objects, and Penrose responds by suggesting possible changes in quantum theory. Turning to cosmology, he argues that most of the current fantastical ideas about the origins of the universe cannot be true, but that an even wilder reality may lie behind them. Finally, Penrose describes how fashion, faith, and fantasy have ironically also shaped his own work, from twistor theory, a possible alternative to string theory that is beginning to acquire a fashionable status, to "conformal cyclic cosmology," an idea so fantastic that it could be called "conformal crazy cosmology."

The first book on the history of black dandyism, "Slaves to Fashion" examines the pivotal role that style has played in the politics and aesthetics of African diasporic identity formation. The figure of the black dandy first emerged in eighteenth-century England as an attempt to control the representation of Africans by imposing upon domestic slaves luxurious uniforms intended to flaunt their masters' wealth. These uniforms were soon manipulated by those who wore them, initiating a struggle between master and slave in which style emerged as a primary means of self-expression for blacks. Tracing the history of the black dandy forward to contemporary celebrity incarnations such as Andre 3000 and Sean Combs, Monica L. Miller explains how black people became arbiters of style and how they have historically used the dandy's signature tools - clothing, gesture, and wit - to break down limiting identity markers and propose new, fluid ways of fashioning political and social possibility in the black Atlantic world.Miller draws from literature, film, photography, print ads, and music to generate a cultural history of the black dandy, ranging from Mungo Macaroni, a freed slave and well-known dandy in the London social scene in the eighteenth century, to the ways that contemporary visual artists represent the black dandy as an emblem of black cosmopolitanism. Along the way, she addresses the role of the black dandy in nineteenth-century American literature and drama, W. E. B. Du Bois' use of the dandy to investigate the relationship between black masculinity and cultural nationalism, and black dandyism in the modernist aesthetics of the Harlem Renaissance. With masterful aplomb worthy of its iconographic subject, "Slaves to Fashion" analyzes and celebrates the black dandy as a cultural figure in the Atlantic diaspora.
La esperada continuación de El problema de los tres cuerpos, el mejor libro de ciencia ficción y fantasía de 2016 según El Periódico, y uno de los diez mejores libros de ficción de 2016 según Playground. Ahora la Tierra tiene cuatro siglos para defenderse de lo inevitable: la llegada de los Trisolaris. Los colaboracionistas humanos pueden haber sido derrotados, pero los sofones permiten a los extraterrestres acceder a la información de la humanidad, dejando al descubierto toda estrategia de defensa. Solo la mente humana sigue siendo un secreto, y ahora también la clave del acuciante plan que urdirán tres estadistas, un científico y un sociólogo. «La trilogía de los Tres Cuerpos» es el gran fenómeno editorial que ha conquistado Occidente tras vender cuatro millones de ejemplares solamente en China y haberse hecho con prescriptores de la talla de Barack Obama, George R.R. Martin o Mark Zuckeberg. Cixin Liu se considera el gran descubrimiento de la ciencia ficción internacional tras alzarse con el Premio Hugo 2015 a la mejor novela, siendo la primera vez que una obra no escrita originariamente en inglés recibe este auténtico Nobel del género.La crítica ha dicho...«Increíblemente imaginativa, realmente interesante.»Barack Obama «Un descubrimiento. Una mezcla única de especulación científica y filosófica, de teoría de la conspiración y cosmología.»George R.R. Martin «Una tregua divertida a todos esos libros sobre economía y ciencias sociales que he estado leyendo últimamente.»Mark Zuckeberg
"The Cross of Redemption" is a revelation by an American literary master: a gathering of essays, articles, polemics, reviews, and interviews that have never before appeared in book form. James Baldwin was one of the most brilliant and provocative literary figures of the past century, renowned for his fierce engagement with issues haunting our common history. In "The Cross of Redemption" we have Baldwin discoursing on, among other subjects, the possibility of an African-American president and what it might mean; the hypocrisy of American religious fundamentalism; the black church in America; the trials and tribulations of black nationalism; anti-Semitism; the blues and boxing; Russian literary masters; and the role of the writer in our society. Prophetic and bracing, "The Cross of Redemption" is a welcome and important addition to the works of a cosmopolitan and canonical American writer who still has much to teach us about race, democracy, and personal and national identity. As Michael Ondaatje has remarked, "If van Gogh was our nineteenth-century artist-saint, Baldwin (was) our twentieth-century one."
