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.

«Una pequeña idea malévola es un libro delicioso, porque leer a Ena Lucía Portela es como mirarse al espejo y advertir que nuestro reflejo nos guiña un ojo».FERNANDO IWASAKIEn uno de los poemas de Lo

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.

Both as a novelist and as a screenwriter, Courttia Newland has found himself, through circumstance or choice, in a place of opposition to the commercial mainstream. Now, he reflects on what it means to be an artist operating in the margins and shares his experiences and observations for those facing similar hurdles and choices. Newland covers key aspects of creating beyond the mainstream, including centring your own voice; which voices are allowed full freedom of artistic expression and which are not; the importance of reading outside of the white Western canon; and how success shapes the work of historically excluded creatives. Alongside his own observations and experiences, he explores the work of - and in some instances interviews - other oppositional artists, including Percival Everett, Lou Mensah, Iain Banks, Jean Binta Breeze and others. The result is a startling provocation, and a galvanising vindication of refusing to conform.

Edición de Manuel Calderón.Artífice de un teatro tradicionalista en lo estético, con características tardomedievales y poca influencia de los aires de comedia urbana latina que llegaban de Italia, Gil Vicente supo no obstante imprimir a su creacion importantes cotas de lirismo, mostrar una patente voluntad de variacion en lo tematicoy en lo metrico y trazar una evolucion en busca de nuevos asuntos y de tramas mas elaboradas.La edicion de Manuel Calderon reune todo su teatro castellano (incluido, como novedad, el llamado Sermon de Abrantes) y estudia con pormenor las caracteristicas de las dos ediciones antiguas de la Copilaçam, la segunda expurgada y ocasionalmente con añadidos (es el caso del Don Duardos, quiza su mejor pieza), al tiempo que da cuenta del orden, significacion y alcance de esas composiciones, sin dejar de atender ademas a la razonable perduracion en los escenarios contemporaneos de algunas de ellas, joya unica de la literatura dramatica de principios del siglo xvi, a caballo entre dos culturas y dos lenguas.

Em nove textos repletos de verdadeiras iluminações sobre o ato da escrita, e a partir da leitura de autores clássicos e contemporâneos, o autor investiga o que sustenta a formação de uma voz literári

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

Palabros. Del mal uso del español y cómo hacerlo mejor abarca diversos aspectos que atañen al buen uso de nuestra lengua, tanto como instrumento para las relaciones personales, como para las profesionales. Comienza por la estructuracion mental del lenguaje para evitar mensajes imposibles, ambiguos o disparatados, continua con una exposicion del sistema ortografico para facilitar la puntuacion de una buena sintaxis y se detiene en los temidos mensajes de las redes. Analiza las palabras de moda, hace un breve apunte sobre la estetica de la escritura y desmenuza los nuevos femeninos que viene de la mano de las ultimas tendencias sociopoliticas. Tampoco descuida las tildes, que tanto favorecen la buena lectura a aquellas personas que estudian el español como segunda lengua, examina erratas y errores de bulto, las nuevas tautologias, asi como el lenguaje de los politicos y su repercusion en la forma de escribir de los medios de comunicacion, para rematar con lo que al autor llama el asesinato de la puntuacion. Como en sus anteriores libros, el autor muestra y comenta imagenes captadas en la calle, las redes o los informativos, que muestran la ignorancia del idioma y el ingenio popular.

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.

En mayo de 1940, el Ejército de Hitler invade Francia y avanza rápidamente, lo que pone en jaque a todos los que huyeron del régimen nazi a partir de 1933 y buscaron asilo al otro lado del Rin. De nuevo tienen que huir, esta vez lejos de Europa. Uwe Wittstock cuenta aqui ese dramatico trance de la historia reciente a traves de la figura de Varian Fry, un periodista estadounidense que monto en Marsella el llamado Centre Americain de Secours, cuya mision era salvar a los mas destacados representantes de la cultura. La ciudad portuaria francesa se convirtio en un hervidero de perseguidos o amenazados, el unico punto desde el que escapar, rumbo a America, a traves de España, Portugal o el norte de Africa. Alli acabaron confluyendo personalidades de la talla de Hannah Arendt, Walter Benjamin, Heinrich Mann, Anna Seghers, Andre Breton, Max Ernst, Alma Mahler, Franz Werfel o Marc Chagall. De todos ellos y otros tantos mas habla este apasionante ensayo que narra dia a dia las angustias y esperanzas de los que lo abandonaban todo para salvar sus vidas. "Junto a cada persona mencionada en este libro habria cientos o miles de otras que tendrian el mismo derecho a ser recordadas. Mas aun, algunos de los destinos de los que aqui se habla estuvieron estrechamente entrelazados con otros que no podian ser descritos para que el libro no creciera hasta lo inabordable", reconoce Wittstock. A pesar de esa necesaria limitacion, el resultado es indiscutiblemente emocionante y una demostracion de que incluso en lo mas oscuro de un desastre sobreviven la bondad y la compasion.

In 1933, Gertrude Stein published her groundbreaking memoir The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, which gained her instant celebrity. The following year she was invited to return to the United States for the first time since she left for France in 1903, to give a series of lectures on art and literature. Newly famous, Stein delivered her lectures, which double as a manifesto for her own, notoriously difficult work, to packed audiences at universities, galleries, members clubs and public spaces up and down the country. The lectures are vital and provocative works which articulate the legendary writers thoughts on the effect of modernism on literary form, the relationship between narrative and history, and between a writer, their work and its audience. In her trademark style she meditates on the creative possibilities of repetition, as well as her ambivalence toward her own literary fame and the destabilizing effect that notoriety had on her daily life. Listen to Me brings Steins sparklingly witty, illuminating lectures together in one volume for the first time, selected and introduced by her acclaimed biographer, Francesca Wade.

Un libro lleno de vida sobre el oficio de escribir, la magia de la creación y el poder eterno de las palabras.La palabra mágica es mucho más que una guía de escritura, es una conversación. Isabel Allende comparte los triunfos, errores y aprendizajes que los desafios y las alegrias le han brindado a lo largo de los años. A partir de sus propias vivencias, este libro es una clase magistral para todo aquel que desee iniciar su propio viaje literario.La literatura es magica: armar una historia es un proceso misterioso, organico, instintivo. Al escribir entro en la dimension de los sueños, la intuicion, las premoniciones; debo rendirme y dejar que los personajes hagan lo que tienen que hacer y que la historia se cuente a si misma. Paso la mayor parte de mi tiempo sola y en silencio, como un monje en su celda. Escribir es como meditar. En la soledad recuerdo, escucho voces, tengo visiones. Mientras mas callada estoy, mas oigo y mas veo. En el silencio de la escritura a veces me visitan espiritus ¿o seran las musas?. Lo siento como un roce en la nuca. Al escribir me transformo en medium. La escritura para mi no es una opcion, es una adiccion.Isabel Allende

Un ensayo brillante y provocador que transforma el apocalipsis en una herramienta de esperanza: Eudald Espluga nos invita a repensar el fin del mundo como el comienzo de un futuro postcapitalista.Se ha repetido hasta la saciedad que hoy es mas facil imaginar el fin del mundo que el fin del capitalismo, pero ¿realmente es asi? Vivimos rodeados de discursos colapsistas (crisis climatica, pandemias, amenazas tecnologicas, teorias conspirativas) que alimentan la angustia y el fatalismo de una generacion atrapada en el doomscrolling y la desesperanza. Pero ¿y si el apocalipsis no fuera el final, sino el principio de otra cosa?En Imaginar el fin, Eudald Espluga propone una lectura radical del pensamiento apocaliptico: utiliza las imagenes del fin del mundo (angeles, profecias, catastrofes) como punto de partida para imaginar otras formas de vida colectiva mas alla del capitalismo fosil. Frente a la pasividad melancolica de los doomers, y la amenaza creciente del ecofascismo, el autor defiende una rearticulacion de la ansiedad colectiva en una forma de accion politica posible.Con un estilo brillante y accesible, Espluga conecta filosofia, cultura pop y critica social sirviendose desde The Last of Us a los memes gnosticos, de Mark Fisher a Sydney Sweeney, del preparacionismo ultraderechista a las utopias ecosociales, de los Labubu a ChatGPT en un ensayo que convierte el miedo al futuro en un acto de resistencia intelectual y moral. Imaginar el fin es una invitacion a repensar el apocalipsis como una historia radical de transformacion ecosocial.
