Throughout 2024, Samar Yazbek met with hundreds of survivors from Gaza asking each one of them about their experience of October 7, 2023, and what their life has been like since that pivotal date. She has selected twenty-six of these narratives to share with the world. Yazbek captures the raw, chilling accounts of ordinary civilians aged thirteen to sixty-five, who have witnessed what history may one day remember as one of the most savage military offensives of our time. Their stories reveal a nightmarish dystopia, where each survivor has endured unimaginable loss homes shattered, loved ones vanished, limbs obliterated and many have been treated in hospitals ravaged by Israeli attacks. But these survivors remain determined to share their stories, and cling to the hope that their voices will resonate. The title, Your Presence Is a Danger to Your Life, is adapted from one of the flyers dropped on the residents of Gaza minutes before a bombing.

SHEREZADE INVENTA CUENTOS PARA APLAZAR LA MUERTE. WINTERSON LOS REESCRIBE PARA DEVOLVERNOS LA VIDA. Vuelve la mejor Jeanette Winterson con un revolucionario libro inspirado en Las mil y una noches: un alegato sobre el poder de la imaginacion como motor de cambio Winterson dinamita categorias, vocabularios y convenciones tristes. Una escritora maravillosa.Marta Sanz, Babelia Una mujer lucha por seguir viva cada noche y, para alejar la muerte unas horas mas, se inventa un cuento. Todos conocemos la historia de Sherezade, pero nadie ha leido Las mil y una noches como lo haria Jeanette Winterson, que se sumerge en este libro legendario para plantear preguntas y respuestas aun hoy vigentes: ¿como influyen nuestros relatos en las creencias sobre el mundo?, ¿cual es el impacto de la imaginacion sobre la realidad?, ¿donde esta el limite entre la honestidad y la mentira?, ¿es el amor, acaso, lo mas importante?Disfrazada de Aladino, la autora que se formo en visitas clandestinas a la biblioteca durante su infancia nos insta a releer lo que creemos conocer y nos presenta dos posibles caminos: la lampara de lo material, el control y la codicia, o la lampara de la creacion, la empatia y la palabra poetica. Ante un mundo injusto e incomprensible, su respuesta es la misma que la de Sherezade: cambiar el relato convirtiendose en el. Un Aladino y dos lamparas es un entramado de ficcion, magia, fantasia, reflexion y memoria, un alegato del poder de nuestras historias y un paso radical hacia un futuro donde imaginar el mundo de nuevo.La critica ha dicho: Deslumbrante [].

Fraud is big business: not only is it one of the easiest crimes to commit, but its also one with the most lenient punishments. So how can we put a stop to it, how can we protect ourselves, and what new dangers do we need to be looking out for?Deeply researched and filled with expert testimony, The Future of Fraud explores interesting fraud cases past and present, from the first officially recorded case of a Greek sea merchant attempting to commit insurance fraud in 300 BC, to todays sophisticated technology perfectly poised to exploit via social media, the dark web, gaming, cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence.The only way to tackle the fraud epidemic, argues Holmes, is head on, via education, language, technology and regulation. We need everyone to understand the dangers and have protections in place to stop the bad guys. Are we fighting a losing battle, or can we make the future a safer place for all?

The Death of the Clinic: Radical Experiments in the Art of Medicine weaves together biography, history and personal reflection in a groundbreaking exploration of five experimental clinics in recent Western history. A sex clinic housed in a stately mansion in Weimar Berlin. A preventive health centre in pre-NHS London. A radical institute of psychiatry and medical philosophy in a post-war French chateau. A feminist health centre born from the womens liberation movement in Geneva. A grassroots research initiative featuring clinical trials run by and for people with AIDS in 1980s-90s New York. Each of these clinics emerged in response to seismic political shifts and era-defining global events yet at their heart lie the stories of extraordinary individuals who dared to reimagine how we care for one another. At once deeply personal and sharply analytical, Benoit Loiseaus investigation is anchored in his own encounters with medical care and in the quiet influence of one health worker who shaped his life: his mother. In moving and reflective interludes addressed to her, Loiseau illuminates the emotional and ethical stakes of medicine today. Reframing Michel Foucaults seminal text, The Death of the Clinic is a radical invitation to reimagine the clinic not as a fixed institution, but as a living, evolving practice rooted in care, resistance and collective imagination.

Their complex relationship, set against the French Revolution and its aftermath, is brought to life with humour and compassion by Margaret Crosland, the translator of Sades Gothic Tales.

El poeta concibe la misión, en un domingo de septiembre tormentoso, glorioso, de escribir, durante la jornada, este poemario.

Una revisión del canon de la literatura occidental donde las mujeres ocupan el lugar que les corresponde.A finales del siglo XIX y en la primera mitad del XX París congregó a artistas e intelectuales, pero cuando se habla de la Belle epoque y de la vanguardia posterior en el periodo de entreguerras apenas hay nombres de mujeres. ¿Existieron? Existieron, pero la historia las relego a los margenes. Fueron multitud, y su protagonismo no se limito a crear obras maestras, ni siquiera a inventar salones literarios, dirigir editoriales, revistas o periodicos. En muchas ocasiones fueron tambien las que financiaron, animaron, sacaron del anonimato, descubrieron, difundieron, amaron y odiaron a los escritores hombres.Este libro trata de remover o incluso agitar el canon de la literatura occidental para agregar luz en la ciudad que ya la tiene por meritos propios, pero que la critica y los generos biograficos siempre han enfocado en funcion de la vida y la produccion literaria de los hombres. Recuperar estas figuras no es un gesto de correccion, sino un acto de justicia literaria: ampliar el relato para comprender, por fin, como se construyo realmente la modernidad.

In August 1939, a ship flying the Polish flag docked in Buenos Aires. On board was a delegation of businessmen, diplomats and journalists. Days later, the captain received orders to return home with all crew and passengers in light of the imminent outbreak of the Second World War. But one man, fascinated by the city, chose to stay at the very last minute. Thus began the unexpected twenty-four-year Argentine exile of one of the twentieth centurys major writers: Witold Gombrowicz. Drawing on his writings and interviews with surviving disciples, writers and scholars, Mercedes Halfons Outsider Everywhere traces Gombrowiczs Argentine years in elegant, pared-back prose, and composes a vivid account of mid-century bohemia in Buenos Aires. Brilliantly translated by Rahul Bery, Mercedes Halfons Outsider Everywhere is a gripping portrait of a literary figure on the margins who rose to prominence late in life to become one of the greatest novelists of our century (Milan Kundera).

As a young writer of blazing promise, Felix Hartlaub went missing in the final days of the Second World War, leaving behind diaries, notes and incomplete drafts that provide a singularly evocative portrait of life in wartime.From 1941, Hartlaub was posted in various Nazi military command headquarters, a historian tasked with writing the Wehrmachts official record of the war. In private, he wrote the disaffected, ruthlessly clear-eyed and often beautiful fragments that make up Notes from Fuhrer HQ, now translated into English for the first time by the acclaimed Michael Hofmann.Moving from a strangely bucolic barracks in Ukraine to tense bureaucratic headquarters on the Eastern Front to the bizarre, seedy micro-climate of a command train, these dispatches conjure the absurdity and turmoil of life within Hitlers war machine through the eyes of a remarkably perceptive, disabused observer.
