Der Steppenwolf ist dasjenige Buch Hermann Hesses, das die internationale Renaissance seines Autors ausgelöst hat. Schon 1927 schrieb Kurt Pinthus: "Ich lese den Steppenwolf, dies unbarmherzigst und seelenzerwühlendste aller Bekenntnisbücher, düsterer und wilder als Rousseaus Confessions, die grausamste Geburtsfeier, die je ein Dichter selbst zelebrierte."§"Es handelt sich um einen Anarchisten, der voll rasender Wut auf dieses falsch dastehende Dasein Warenhäuser und Kathedralen zerschlagen und der bürgerlichen Weltordung das Gesicht ins Genick drehen möchte. Es handelt sich um einen Revolutionär des Ichs... Der Steppenwolf ist eine Dichtung des gegenbürgerlichen Mutes."

UNA NOVELA TOTAL SOBRE LA GUERRA CIVIL ESPAÑOLA EN CLAVE DE REALISMO MÁGICOHe aquí la historia de la descomposición total de una familia, de la deshumanización de un pueblo, de la desintegración de un territorio y de una península de casas vacías.La historia de un soldado que se raja la piel para dejar salir la ceniza acumulada, de un poeta que cose la sombra de una niña tras un bombardeo, y de un maestro que enseña a sus alumnos a hacerse los muertos; de un general que duerme junto a la mano cortada de una santa, de un niño ciego que recupera la vista durante un apagón, y de una campesina que pinta de negro todos los árboles de su huerto; de un fotógrafo extranjero que pisa una mina cerca de Brunete y no levanta el pie en cuarenta años, de un gernikarra que conduce hasta el centro de París una camioneta con los restos humeantes de un ataque aéreo, y de un perro herido cuya sangre teñirá la última franja de una bandera abandonada en Badajoz.He aquí pues la historia total de la Guerra Civil española y de una Iberia agonizante donde lo fantástico apuntala la crudeza de lo real; donde los anónimos miembros de un extenso clan de olivareros de Jándula cruzan sus destinos con los de Alberti, Lorca y Unamuno; Rodoreda, Zambrano y Kent; Hemingway, Orwell y Bernanos; Picasso y Mallo; Azaña y Foxá; donde lo épico y lo costumbrista se entrelazan para tejer un portentoso tapiz, poético y grotesco, bello y delirante.«Con una prosa imprevista, tan original como desacomplejada, David Uclés es un auténtico soplo de aire fresco en las letras españolas».Pablo Martín Sánchez
Beginning in the 1960s, John Brookes MBE (1933–2018) revolutionized garden design, with a new design philosophy and methodology that was rooted in the notion that gardens are about the people who live in them. Recognizing the demands of the contemporary lifestyle, he broke with previous labor-intensive garden design traditions and the emphasis on showcasing plants. Instead he promoted using gardens as extensions of the home.He introduced this notion in his 1969 book, A Room Outside, which also contained practical advice on materials, methodology, and planting. His approach was unprecedented and included the then-novel idea that people of all income levels could have designed, fashionable gardens tailored to their needs, low-maintenance, and beautiful. John taught and lectured around the world and, thanks to his energetic writing, teaching and media appearances, he became regarded as the 'king’ and 'godfather’ of garden and landscape design.How to Design a Garden is an informative and ultimately practical collection of his thoughts and advice selected from countless writings and lectures given to students, professionals and the public around the world. In addition to his teaching on how to design a garden, the book has two key themes – environmental sustainability and a focus on the local vernacular. They show how far ahead he was of his time and to what a great extent his teaching remains relevant to garden-makers today.

Con motivo de los 50 ańos de la aparición de la novela Pedro Páramo, del escritor mexicano Juan Rulfo (1917-1986), la Fundación que lleva su nombre ha concedido a la editorial RM Verlag los derechos editoriales para la publicación de la versión original de este clásico de la literatura latinoamericana. Desde su primera aparición en 1955 se han prodigado diversas ediciones y más de 50 traducciones, pero la presente versión es la única avalada por la Fundación Juan Rulfo, garante de la fidelidad e integridad de la obra.Desde su aparición, Pedro Páramo provocó una convulsión en el panorama literario de la época. En sus aspectos formales, la novela desorientó a los lectores acostumbrados a la unidad de estilo, espacio y tiempo de la novela decimonónica. Pedro Páramo, por el contrario, ofrecía una aparente falta de unidad del texto, una composición desordenada, la ausencia de un argumento central, la aparición de continuas elipsis y la aparición de unos personajes en ocasiones fantasmagóricos.En cuanto a su contenido, Pedro Páramo logró retratar de manera lúcida y penetrante el espíritu y la idiosincrasia del pueblo mexicano. Las principales fuentes de Rulfo para componer esta obra fueron, sin duda alguna, su formación como lector, su interés por la historia, la antropología y el estudio de las culturas y las gentes de México. Siempre dedicó gran parte de sus lecturas a este ámbito, asistió como oyente a la Universidad y dedicó gran parte de su juventud a recorrer los rincones más interesantes de su país.
'Groundbreaking ... [provides] a deep history of the invention of the 'normal' mind as one of the most oppressive tools of capitalism. To read it is to see the world more clearly' - Steve Silberman, author of NeuroTribesNeurodiversity is on the rise.Awareness and diagnoses have exploded in recent years, but we are still missing a wider understanding of how we got here and why. Beyond simplistic narratives of normativity and difference, this groundbreaking book exposes the very myth of the 'normal' brain as a product of intensified capitalism. Exploring the rich histories of the neurodiversity and disability movements, Robert Chapman shows how the rise of capitalism created an 'empire of normality' that transformed our understanding of the body into that of a productivity machine.Neurodivergent liberation is possible - but only by challenging the deepest logics of capitalism. Empire of Normality is an essential guide to understanding the systems that shape our bodies, minds and deepest selves - and how we can undo them.

Usually in that order.Too bad for Naomi, her evil twin hasn't changed at all. After helping herself to Naomi's car and cash, Tina leaves behind something unexpected: the niece Naomi didn't know she had. Now she's a guardian to an eleven-year-old-going-on-thirty with no car, no money, and no plan.There's a reason this bearded, bad-boy barber doesn't get involved with high-maintenance women, especially not Type-A romantic ones. But since Naomi's life imploded right in front of him, the least Knox can do is help her out of her jam. And just as soon as she stops getting into new trouble, he can leave her alone and get back to his quiet, solitary life.At least, that's the plan.
