Noelia Ramírez reflexiona sobre la reconciliación con nuestros orígenes, el privilegio, los relatos dominantes y la impostura de la autenticidad.Las voces de la periferia han logrado acceder al centro del discurso cultural, pero se enfrentan a una disyuntiva: o bien adoptan el rol exotico y rebelde que se espera de ellas, o bien disfrazan sus origenes para ganar capital social. Lejos de la autocomplacencia y el victimismo, Noelia Ramirez aborda este sentimiento de no pertenencia y resignifica el desclasamiento como un viaje de la verguenza al orgullo en el que crear discursos y espacios nuevos, mas plurales y complejos. A traves de una experiencia personal de duelo y de ruptura con los mandatos heredados, la autora reflexiona sobre las paradojas de la identidad, la impostura de la autenticidad y el deseo de transformacion en el plano intimo y colectivo.

Una habitación propia es uno de los textos más emblemáticos del feminismo del siglo XX. En él, Virginia Woolf parte de dos conferencias impartidas en 1928 para reflexionar sobre las condiciones necesarias para que una mujer pueda escribir. Con una prosa brillante y combativa, analiza las estructuras que han relegado a las mujeres a un segundo plano en la historia de la literatura y defiende la independencia economica y el espacio creativo como condiciones basicas de libertad.En esta edicion comentada, la experta en liderazgo femenino y diversidad Merce Brey aporta una lectura contemporanea que revela la vigencia de Woolf en el mundo actual. ¿Que significa tener una habitacion propia hoy? ¿Que barreras, visibles e invisibles, persisten? Una lectura imprescindible para nuevas generaciones de mujeres que buscan voz, espacio y autonomia.

Leer a los clásicos para entender quiénes somos¿Puede la literatura ayudarnos a vivir mejor en un mundo incierto? Este libro responde con un sí rotundo. Guendalina Middei nos guía con entusiasmo y cercania a traves de las paginas de autores como Tolstoi, Austen, Kafka, Dostoievski, Leopardi, Mann, Manzoni, Lampedusa y Orwell. Cada capitulo se convierte en una conversacion viva con los grandes personajes de la literatura: Anna Karenina, que no se rinde ante la resignacion; Raskolnikov, desgarrado entre el pensamiento y la culpa; los seres que Kafka transforma y que, en su extrañeza, nos devuelven una imagen inquietante de lo humano.Middei lee los clasicos con libertad, humor y una mirada inteligente, y consigue que cada personaje se nos acerque como si lo conocieramos desde siempre. Mas que una leccion sobre el canon, este libro es una invitacion a leer sin solemnidad, a emocionarse sin culpa, a pensar sin miedo. Porque en las paginas de los clasicos aun se esconden claves que nos permiten entender mejor lo que somos.Enamorarse de Anna Karenina un sabado por la noche es una celebracion del placer de la lectura, y un recordatorio de que hay libros que nunca dejan de hablarnos.

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).

Dryness, paleness, waking, sighing, despair, frenzy, death: loves repercussions can be dire indeed. Perhaps that is why Robert Burton devoted the largest part of his pioneering 17th-century psychological work, The Anatomy of Melancholy, to this supreme passion. Edited to offer the modern reader easier access to this classic text, this abridged version preserves all the fantastic variety of the original, as Burton knits together stories and quotations drawn from millennia of European literature in order to understand loves causes, consequences, and cures.We encounter gods and goddesses, ancient kings and queens, lascivious monks and pure-hearted shepherds, marriages happy and unhappy, allurements natural and unnatural, and, most importantly, many cures for love-melancholy, from the obvious to the arcane. Intricate yet commonsensical, learned yet earthy, and twinkling throughout with ironic warmth, Burtons masterpiece speaks to the deepest concerns of the human heart as well today as it did four centuries ago.

An invigorating duo of essays exploring exile, language and national identity from one of Europes most celebrated literary stars and author of The Unbearable Lightness of Being.89 Words, published in 1985, is an expanded version of the dictionary of sorts that readers encountered in The Art of the Novel, and comprises a fascinating and rigorous interrogation of what exile, life in another language, and the betrayals of translations entail.Prague: A Disappearing Poem, dating from 1980, meditates on questions of the culture of the small nation that formed and lends specificity to Kunderas work, and - as in A Kidnapped West - questions of the Soviet and Western attitudes to Czech culture. Together, these provocative, elegant and wise essays remind familiar readers of Kunderas presence - his inimitable voice - and for new readers, offer an introduction to his oeuvre: an access point into his fictional universe, characterised by devastating irony and subtlety of judgement.
