Francia y la poesía fueron los primeros grandes amores de Stefan Zweig, que dedicó una buena parte de su obra a sacar de su «aparente oscuridad» a los genios de la creación y contagiar así sus pasiones a los lectores. A petición de la editorial berlinesa Schuster & Loeffler, el joven escritor compuso esta breve monografía sobre Paul Verlaine, su primer ensayo biográfico. Esta pequeña joya publicada en 1 9 0 5, que incluye traducciones de algunos de los poemas más emblemáticos del poeta, inauguró en la carrera de Zweig un género literario en el que desplegaría todo su talento y sensibilidad.

Story5 out of 5 stars 1
En este lúcido ensayo, el erudito ensayista francés analiza la obra de Élisabeth Louise Vigee Le Brun, una de las pintoras más brillantes e ignoradas de las últimas decadas prerrevolucionarias en Francia. Retratista magistral "capaz de conjugar el parecido fiel con la idealización im- palpable", Vigee Le Brun fue la aliada a la que escogió María Antonieta para ofrecer una imagen humana y digna de ese mundus muliebris que ella representaba y que, supuestamente, corrompía el prestigio y la autoridad de los monarcas a fuerza de afeminarlos.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 28
Toño Azpilcueta pasa sus días entre su trabajo en un colegio, su familia y su gran pasión, la música criolla, sobre la que lleva investigando desde su juventud. Un día, una llamada le cambia la vida. Una invitación para ir a escuchar a un guitarrista desconocido, Lalo Molfino, personaje del que nadie sabe demasiado pero de gran talento, parece confirmar todas sus intuiciones: el amor profundo que siente por los valses, marineras, polkas y huainos peruanos tiene una razón más allá del placer de escucharlos (o bailarlos).

Estos tres ensayos nacen de una ininterrumpida, apasionante y apasionada relación con Tirant lo Blanc. El primero aborda la idea de la novela total, anunciada quinientos años antes en este libro de caballerías: «Es la novela total. Novela de caballerías fantástica, histórica, social, erótica, psicológica: todas esas cosas a la vez y ninguna de ellas exclusivamente». El segundo ofrece una imagen más personal de Joan Martorell a través de sus cartas. El tercero defiende la importancia de «las palabras» en la obra.

Invitado a exponer sus piezas de cerámica en el museo Nissim de Camondo, Edmund de Waal disfrutó del inesperado privilegio de adentrarse en uno de los palacetes más lujosos de París, antigua propiedad de una influyente familia sefardí. Construido por deseo del filántropo y coleccionista de arte Moïse de Camondo en 1912, el edificio acoge desde entonces una extraordinaria colección de arte francés del siglo xviii. Sin embargo, como ocurrió a los antepasados de De Waal, los Ephrussi, también los Camondo se convirtieron pronto en blanco del antisemitismo.

Como pájaros atolondrados retoma las andanzas de Ana, nieta de la entrañable Loxandra, de regreso a casa despues de su largo periplo ruso, relatado en Vacaciones en el Cáucaso. De clara inspiración autobiográfica, la novela nos hace viajar desde la Constantinopla de entreguerras, en plena ocupación aliada, hasta la Alejandría de la decada de 1920—"una ciudad dividida en dos: el paraíso y el infierno", en palabras de la autora—y la Atenas de 1930 y 1940, escenario de una traumática ocupación alemana.

Entre 1958 y 1962 cuarenta y cinco millones de chinos perecieron a causa de los trabajos forzados, la violencia y la hambruna a los que fueron sometidos por el gobierno de Mao Zedong. Obsesionado con la empresa frenética del Gran Salto Adelante, su iniciativa, destinada a superar el modelo económico occidental en menos de quince años, provocó una de las mayores catástrofes humanas de la historia.

Schopenhauer escribió El arte de tener razón (o Dialéctica erística) para sistematizar «las astucias, ardides y bajezas» que empleamos cuando discutimos con la única finalidad de hacer prevalecer nuestras ideas. En la época en que Hegel señalaba la dialéctica como el único camino para alcanzar la culminación del Espíritu, Schopenhauer, su irreductible antagonista, la entendía como el florete a blandir en el particular combate de esgrima que es cualquier discusión.

Inglaterra, 1972. En plena Guerra Fría la joven estudiante Serena Frome es reclutada en Cambridge por el MI5. A partir de ese momento nada en su vida será lo que parece. Cada verdad oculta una mentira y detrás de cada lealtad se agazapa una traición. La misión que le encargan es crear una fundación para ayudar económicamente a novelistas prometedores, pero la verdadera finalidad es generar propaganda anticomunista. Y en su vida dominada por el engaño entra Tom Haley, joven escritor del que acabará enamorándose.

Cómo comenzar a cristalizar esa vocación en obras literarias, por dónde empezar esa aventura, de dónde salen las historias que cuentan las novelas... son algunas de las preguntas a las que el Premio Nobel de Literatura da respuesta en este libro, que se convierte así en una lección magistral del oficio de escribidor.

La diferencia entre La llamada de la tribu y otros títulos como El pez en el agua es que aquí el protagonismo no lo tienen las vivencias del autor, sino las lecturas que moldearon su forma de pensar y de ver el mundo en los últimos cincuenta años. En Nobel peruano ha hecho una cartografía de los pensadores liberales que le ayudaron a desarrollar un nuevo cuerpo de ideas después del gran trauma ideológico que supuso, por un lado, el desencanto con la Revolución Cubana y, por otro, el distanciamiento de las ideas de Jean-Paul Sartre.

La historia de la revolución, como toda historia, debe, ante todo, relatar los hechos y su desarrollo. Mas esto no basta. Es menester que del relato se desprenda con claridad por qué las cosas sucedieron de ese modo y no de otro. Los sucesos históricos no pueden considerarse como una cadena de aventuras ocurridas al azar ni engarzarse en el hilo de una moral preconcebida, sino que deben someterse al criterio de las leyes que los gobiernan. El autor del presente audiolibro entiende que su misión consiste precisamente en sacar a la luz esas leyes.

Una colección de ensayos magistrales sobre la cultura de masas.
En estos ensayos magistrales, en los que analiza la estructura del mal gusto, la lectura de cómics, el mito de Superman, la canción de consumo, el papel de los medios audiovisuales como instrumento de información o el influjo de la televisión en el mundo actual, Umberto Eco se plantea el problema central de la doble postura ante la cultura de masas: la de los apocalípticos, que ven en ella el signo de una caída irrecuperable.

A partir del juicio que en 1961 se llevó a cabo contra Adolf Eichmann, teniente coronel de la SS y uno de los mayores criminales de la historia, Hannah Arendt estudia en este ensayo las causas que propiciaron el Holocausto y el papel equívoco que desempeñaron en tal genocidio los consejos judíos—cuestión que, en su época, fue motivo de una airada controversia—, así como la naturaleza y la función de la justicia, aspecto que la lleva a plantear la necesidad de instituir un tribunal internacional capaz de juzgar crímenes contra la humanidad.

In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

The history of the Boston Tea Party is a hidden one. Why? Since it was a clandestine operation, all sorts of rumors and legends grew up around the event—many collected decades after the American Revolution had ended. At its core, however, the night of December 16, 1773, when colonials dumped tea from British ships into Boston Harbor, was more than a fight over tea and taxes. It was a struggle over the very nature of democracy and self-governance.
