SIEMPRE EL MISMO DÍA es una historia de amor sin fecha de caducidad. David Nicholls, autor de DULCE DESPEDIDA, plantea un concepto muy original: tomar como referencia el día en que se conoció una pareja y observar a lo largo de veinte años, todos los 15 de julio, como se encuentra esa relacion; que cosas han cambiado para bien y para mal.Siempre el mismo dia nos habla sobre el paso del tiempo y las dificultades para mantenernos fieles a nosotros mismos pero, sobre todo, nos relata una poderosa historia de amor.Un libro maravilloso, sabio y divertido. -The TimesUna autentica historia de amor, conmovedora y tremendamente comica. Un verdadero placer. -BrigitteDavid Nicholls ha creado unos personajes tan magnificamente imperfectos y tan reales que los echaras de menos en cuanto acabes el libro. -The Bookseller

For Josh Harper, being in show-business means everything he ever wanted - money, fame, a beautiful wife, a lead role on the London stage. For Stephen C. McQueen, on the other hand, it means a disastrous career playing passers-by and dead people. He's stuck with an unfortunate name, a hopeless agent, a daughter he barely knows, and a job as understudy to Josh Harper, the 12th Sexiest Man in the World. And things get even more difficult when Stephen falls in love with Josh's clever, funny wife Nora. But might there yet be a way for Stephen to get his Big Break? The Understudy is a scintillating comedy of ambition, celebrity, jealousy and love.

John Cage (19121992) was without doubt one of the most important and influential figures in twentieth-century music. Pupil of Schoenberg, Henry Cowell, Marcel Duchamp, and Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki, among others, he spent much of his career in pursuit of an unusual goal: giving up control so that sounds can be sounds, as he put it. This book celebrates the richness and diversity of Cages achievements - the development of the prepared piano and of the percussion orchestra, the adoption of chance and of indeterminacy, the employment of electronic resources and of graphic notation, and the questioning of the most fundamental tenets of Western art music. Besides composing around 300 works, he was also a prolific performer, writer, poet, and visual artist. Written by a team of experts, this Companion discusses Cages background, his work, and its performance and reception, providing in sum a fully rounded portrait of a fascinating figure.
