From The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley comes a candid memoir in which she reveals the unscripted moments that shaped who she is today.Dorit Kemsley has spent years cultivating a persona that exudes elegance, ambition, and confidence. But behind the designer labels and otherwise picture-perfect image lies a story of resilience, transformation, and self-discovery. Now, for the first time, shes telling this story in full. Before the cameras started rolling, Dorit was raised in a Jewish home in Connecticut, shaped by her familys international roots. But her early interest in fashion soon took her around the world for school and work, which later brought her back to New York City to launch her own global resort-wear line. Along the way, a charming Britthe man she once thought was the love of her lifeswept her off her feet . . .With the effortless charm of a best friend, Dorit reminisces on her early seasons as a Real Housewife, navigating new motherhood in the spotlight. She reveals the true stories behind #PantyGate and #PuppyGate and the ups and downs of her friendships with cast members across nearly a decade on the show. She delves into the fears and traumas she has long kept private, including the dissolution of her marriage to Paul "PK" Kemsley, the terrifying home invasion that shattered her sense of security, and the pressure of living under constant public scrutiny.With candor, humor, and the kind of perspective earned only by a woman who has lived as a wife and mother onscreen for eight seasons and counting, Dorit recounts the lessons shes learned, the mistakes shes made, and the strength shes discovered in starting over.

Las memorias del autor de El gueto interior, maestro en ahondar en los recodos del silencio y sus filiales.¿Podemos seguir hablando de literatura? La pregunta puede parecer ociosa, pero el autor no busca evitarla. Un proyecto modesto y, sin embargo, de una ambicion desmesurada, totalmente irrealizable, apasionante por sus propias contradicciones, ya que no deja de interrogarse sobre la validez de la escritura y pretende acabar con el lenguaje volviendo sus propias armas contra el.Le MondeAntes de ser cineasta y escritor, Santiago H. Amigorena fue un niño silencioso, dividido entre lenguas, ciudades y recuerdos. A los once años lo arrancaron de Buenos Aires y Montevideo para llevarlo a Francia, siguiendo una larga estirpe de exilios y huidas. A partir de ahi aprendio que el silencio puede ser una patria y una condena.Una infancia laconica es la memoria de aquel niño que intento comprender el mundo desde el mutismo, el recuento de su primer desarraigo, sus primeros amores y derrotas. En estas paginas, Amigorena escribe como quien busca una reconciliacion imposible: con su infancia, con el lenguaje, con la perdida que funda toda escritura.Libro del origen y del regreso, es tambien una meditacion luminosa sobre el poder de las palabras para devolvernos, por un instante, aquello que creiamos perdido.Sobre el autor y El gueto interiorla critica ha dicho:Lei este libro como hace mucho que no leia ninguno. Martin Caparros Amigorena empuja la empatia literaria hasta los limites de lo posible, haciendo suyas las ideas del abuelo que apenas conocio.Le Monde Una potente meditacion acerca del exilio y del peso del silencio en el corazon de una familia.La Croix He aqui una novela con voz y modulacion, una novela susurrada, una novela inquietante con paginas perturbadoras.Le Figaro La historia del Holocausto es bien conocida, pero jamas la habia leido desde la perspectiva argentina. Es conmovedora.L Obs Amigorena se une a Primo Levi, Jorge Semprun o Imre Kertesz poniendo su ladrillo en el edificio erigido en memoria de todas las victimas del Holocausto y, mas alla, de la humanidad. Un gran libro.Culturebox

Un ensayo fascinante sobre cómo "el año terrible" de París desembocó en el nacimiento del impresionismo.Entre el verano de 1870 y la primavera de 1871, un periodo que Victor Hugo bautizó como el "Año Terrible", Paris fue sitiada, padecio una hambruna y hubo de rendirse al ejercito aleman. A continuacion, los republicanos radicales establecieron la Comuna, que fue aplastada tras sangrientas batallas callejeras y el incendio del centro de la ciudad. Como demuestra el prestigioso critico de arte Sebastian Smee, ganador del Premio Pulitzer, fue durante estos tiempos tumultuosos cuando nacio el movimiento impresionista, como respuesta a la violencia, la guerra civil y la intriga politica.Smee relata la historia de aquellos dias dramaticos a traves de los ojos de las grandes figuras del impresionismo. Edouard Manet, Berthe Morisot y Edgar Degas quedaron atrapados en Paris durante el sitio. Otros, como Pierre-Auguste Renoir y Frederic Bazille, se unieron a regimientos fuera de la capital, mientras que Claude Monet y Camille Pissarro huyeron del pais justo a tiempo. En el periodo posterior, estos artistas desarrollaron una nueva conciencia sobre la fragilidad de la vida. Esa sensacion de transitoriedad -reflejada en el enfasis en la luz fugitiva, las estaciones cambiantes, las escenas callejeras fugaces y la impermanencia de todas las cosas- se convirtio en la gran aportacion del movimiento a la historia del arte.En el corazon de todo ello hay una historia de amor: la de Manet, considerado por todos el padre del impresionismo, y Morisot, la unica mujer que desempeño un papel central en el movimiento desde sus inicios. Smee describe con gran sensibilidad su compleja relacion, la influencia mutua que ejercieron y su inmenso legado, al tiempo que otorga el merecido reconocimiento a la mujer en el corazon del impresionismo.Penetrante y absorbente, Paris en ruinas capta las pasiones y politicas cambiantes del mundo del arte y explica el profundo impacto que tuvieron las presiones del sitio y el caos de la Comuna en el arte moderno, y como el genio artistico puede surgir de la oscuridad y la catastrofe.La critica ha dicho:Smee se basa en una gran cantidad de fuentes historicas y biograficas para examinar el nacimiento del impresionismo durante una epoca de feroz agitacion politica y social en Francia... Transmite vividamente el terror de la epoca, los tensos enfrentamientos militares y las conspiraciones, y las pasiones inflamadas... Su descripcion de las obras de los impresionistas es perspicaz, como lo es su sensibilidad hacia las complicadas relaciones entre los artistas.
