En este libro, SergioRoitberg analiza el impacto profundo y multidimensional que tuvo la pandemia del COVID-19 en nuestra forma de ser, pensar, trabajar, comunicarnos y vincularnos. No es solo un registro de hechos, sino una reflexion sobre como ese evento disruptivo nos transformo para siempre, inaugurando una nueva era: la era delunknown, lo desconocido.Al mirar atras y evocar la pandemia, lo natural es querer olvidar. Sin embargo, a algunos años de aquel tsunami que detuvo al mundo y nos obligo a enfrentarnos con nosotros mismos, aqui seguimos. Y no queda mas que reconocerlo: ese sacudon, para el que nadie estaba preparado, nos cambio. Fue el punto de partida de la transformacion sociocultural mas rapida y masiva de nuestra epoca. Un gran reinicio, un verdadero reset . Ese cimbronazo nos enseño que nada estaba escrito en piedra y marco el comienzo de una era de incertidumbre la de lo desconocido, the unknown que puso a prueba nuestra capacidad de adaptacion. Nuestra lucha por sobrevivir prevalecio y nos hizo resilientes. Aprendimos a hacerle frente a la adversidad a velocidad record y de ese vertigo nacieron nuevas formas de relacionarnos, de estudiar, de trabajar, de atender nuestra salud, de consumir. Asumimos el cambio como una oportunidad y comprendimos que la comunicacion debia ser emocional, autentica y profunda, porque nadie se salva solo. Tambien entendimos que una conexion genuina solo podia darse en un escenario comun, guiado por un proposito compartido, y que la tecnologia estaba llamada a ser un medio al servicio de ese fin, nunca el fin en si mismo. Para reflexionar sobre el antes y el despues, SergioRoitberg entrevisto a mas de cien expertos y lideres en educacion, neurociencia, sociologia, negocios, finanzas, tecnologia e inteligencia artificial. Con ellos intento poner en palabras lo que nos paso pero, sobre todo, descifrar que cambio y que permanece tras el estremecimiento global mas profundo de las ultimas decadas: una revolucion que apenas comienza.

Through most of eight hundred years, Somerled of Argyll has been variously denounced as an intractable rebel against his rightful king and esteemed as the honoured ancestor of the later medieval Lord of the Isles, but he can be recognised now as a much more complex figure of major prominence in twelfth-century Scotland and of truly landmark significance in the long history of the Gael. In this book individual chapters investigate his emergence in the forefront of the Gaelic-Norse aristocracy of the western seaboard, his part in Gaeldoms challenge to the Canmore kings of Scots, his war on the Manx king of the Isles, his importance for the church on Iona, and his extraordinary invasion of the Clyde which was cut short by his violent death at Renfrew in 1164. Perhaps most impressive is the books demonstration of how almost everything that is known of or has been claimed for Somerled reflects the same characteristic fusion of Norse and Celt which binds the cultural roots of Gaeldom. It is this recognition which has led its author to his proposal of Somerleds wider historical importance as the personality who most represents the first fully-fledged emergence of the medieval Celtic-Scandinavian cultural province from which is directly descended the Gaelic Scotland of today.

Summer, 1993, and Alex Lane finds himself at the end of the University summer term, broke and without any concrete plans. So, when hes offered the chance to join a group of students tasked clearing out Solace House, a large Victorian residence left to the University by a reclusive hoarder called Flayne, he jumps at it. The other students are a mixed bunch, but Alex quickly falls into a close friendship with the mercurial, red-headed Ella.At first the house seems to be an ordinary, if grandiose, property. But as the team begin sorting through piles of junk, they stumble upon Flaynes journals in which he details his obsession with his missing mother, his discovery of a strange place called Bewise, and - most mysteriously - his belief in another realm lying parallel to ours, along with coded instructions on how it might be reached.As the students continue to sort through the detritus, one of Alexs companions becomes increasingly obsessed with the hidden secrets of Solace House, Flaynes missing mother, and the possibility that, if only they can decipher Flaynes increasingly unintelligible writings, they might gain knowledge beyond their wildest dreams. That is, assuming, they are willing to sacrifice everything.

Francesco Pasquale nació en Sapri, Reino de las Dos Sicilias, un poco más al sur que Giuseppe Verdi, durante los mismos años que Richard Wagner o Robert Schumann, y este libro cuenta sus andanzas, sus viajes, de la misma manera que nos aproxima a tres instantes cruciales de la existencia de esos tres compositores. Francesco migro, igual que Wagner, crio hijos muertos y deseo la unificacion de Italia, igual que Verdi, y convivio con fantasmas, como Schumann. Francesco Pasquale fue una persona unica, tanto que cada lector se le parece, fue tan especial que no siempre es el protagonista de su vida; cede, a cada paso, el papel principal de su propia biografia a celebres medicos, a activistas politicos o a mujeres de una personalidad indestructible. Francesco Pasquale traza, a traves de su vida, un mapa humano del siglo XIX, un mapa que arranca al sur de Italia y llega a las costas del mar Cantabrico, un mapa que sufre y se divierte, un mapa que canta y duerme, un mapa que sueña y despierta. Escrita originalmente en euskera y traducida por el propio autor, Sobre las cinco almas de Francesco Pasquale es una novela construida mediante narraciones independientes, mediante relatos que se enredan para elaborar un todo. Se convierte asi, a traves de olores y puertas abiertas, en una peculiar arquitectura narrativa decorada, en ciertos puntos, con peculiares imagenes oniricas.

An unhappy family returns to Britain from a hot country, filling their suburban house with the glittering hoard they brought back from their exotic sojourn. But the sadness of A, the wife, dulls the shine of their treasure. The house grows quieter, darker. Daughter B learns to hide inside it, in a night-time world whose colours are undimmed by the tense misery of the daytime household. There she sails aquamarine seas on a thistledown boat, ponders the proliferation of dream-tigers, and watches dances and celebrations from the windows of a house whose rooms multiply and change position all the time. As daylight circumstances deteriorate, with her mothers death and Bs departure to boarding school, she becomes determined to take up permanent residence in the house of sleep. But there are night-time institutions determined to control her, and night-time battles to be fought, before she can come home to the dark forever. A kaleidoscopic autobiographical narrative, which speaks the language of childhood dreams which was once known to us all, this is a work of astonishing visual power and devastating loneliness.
