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.

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).

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.
