Un futuro narrado a muchas voces, donde aprender es la única arquitectura que nunca deja de construirse.Se trata de una obra polifónica y fragmentaria en la que los temas se articulan a través de entrevistas y relatos. Las preguntas y respuestas funcionan como hilo conductor, ofreciendo una multiplicidad de voces y perspectivas. Su estructura adopta la forma de una antologia de articulos y ensayos: un conjunto unido por afinidades tematicas mas que por una trama lineal.La obra se construye como una constelacion de voces que dialogan desde un tiempo por venir. Entrevistas y relatos que no buscan clausurar respuestas, sino abrir grietas por donde se filtra el pensamiento. Cada fragmento funciona como un modulo autonomo y, a la vez, como parte de una arquitectura mayor: un mapa de ideas en permanente transformacion.La escritora se situa en el centro de este entramado no como autoridad, sino como observadora activa de un proceso de aprendizaje constante. Consciente de su inclinacion hacia la ciencia ficcion, decide apartarla deliberadamente para explorar otros futuros posibles: aquellos que se construyen desde la reflexion, la escucha y la duda. El resultado es una obra que imagina el futuro no como un destino cerrado, sino como un ejercicio continuo de pensamiento y aprendizaje.

Hay momentos del día que la luz sostiene todo. Y hay noches que son abismo, herida,pregunta sin respuesta.Raquel Gavilán los escribe desde la piel:desde el deseo que no pide permiso, la maternidad agotada y luminosa al mismo tiempo, el amor cuando se quiebra y deja una forma de vacio que solo el poema puede nombrar. Desde los silencios que se aprenden a callar para seguir en pie, y desde la rabia que crece debajo de esos silencios.Los dias sin sus noches es la cartografia de un yo femenino que ha aprendido a habitar la contradiccion: arder y congelarse, entregarse y resistir, amar y sobrevivir al amor.Una voz de debut que llega sabiendo ya lo que cuesta escribir la verdad entera.Para quien alguna vez ha tenido que elegir entre ser honesta y ser amada.

Dealers ChoiceI feel its my duty to proclaim it from the rooftops: this is it, this is the play that will remind you, at the end of a year that has contained too few stand-out new-writing hits and far too many musicals, why we go to the theatre - and just how good it can get.TelegraphCloserPatrick Marbers searing follow-up to Dealers Choice establishes him as the leading playwright of his generation.Independent on SundayOne of the best plays of sexual politics in the language: it is right up there with Williamss Streetcar, Mamets Oleanna, Albees Virginia Woolf, Pinters Old Times and Hares Skylight.Sunday TimesHoward KatzAfter Dealers Choice (1995), his gripping study of self-destructive gamblers, and Closer (1997), a thrilling account of love, sex and betrayal, this third instalment of his trilogy set in contemporary London tackles the biggest themes of all - life, death, God and the human soul. Its great to see a contemporary dramatist wrestling with such material.TelegraphDon Juan in SohoOne of the foremost dramatic chroniclers of modern British life. Line by line, this is the best written of all Marbers plays. You want to hang around its phrases (how often does that happen in the theatre?): hardly a minute passes without a satirical swipe, a gutsy joke.ObserverThe Red LionMarber, in this riveting new piece, uses the world of non-league, semi-pro football to explore issues of trust and loyalty and the larger division between individual ambition and the collective ethic. If big issues emerge naturally from the action, it is because Marber is writing about a world he knows intimately. Everything feels right. Guardian

**THE FIRST AND ONLY BIOGRAPHY OF DUTCH FORMULA ONE WUNDERKIND MAX VERSTAPPEN, CHARISMATIC WINNER OF THE 2021 FORMULA ONE TITLE** Few drivers have ever shaken up Formula 1 in quite the same way as Max Verstappen. Already the youngest competitor in F1 history, having made his breakthrough in 2015 aged just 17, his debut race for Red Bull at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix saw him become the youngest driver ever to win a race, achieve a podium finish or even lead a lap. As the son of F1 legend Jos and elite-level kart driver Sophie Kumpen, Max was destined to be a racing driver. And since that headline-grabbing debut, he has continued to make an indelible impression on the sport, courting criticism and plaudits in equal measure. Sports journalist James Gray seeks to understand the outspoken nature and aggressive driving style that make Verstappen a must-watch before, during and after races, and why his Dutch fans, who turn up to cheer him on in their orange-clad droves, are quite so fanatical.

This book is an extended study, in the Post-Reformation period, of the impact of the Gaels in the west of Scotland and the north of Ireland on each others religious heritage. Beginning half a century before the plantation of Ulster, Missions to the Gaels illuminates the origins of the sectarian divisions in Northern Ireland. The research deals with both Protestants and Catholics, rather than treating only one denomination in isolation. The author explores the intriguing situation whereby Scottish Gaelic-speaking ministers laid the foundations of the embryonic Protestant Church in Ireland, while at the same time Irish-speaking priests were almost exclusively responsible for the reintroduction of Catholicism to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. The range of this book extends beyond narrow ecclesiastical issues: it reveals the broader political and cultural forces that determined the Gaels choice of religious alignment and traces the effects of these over two centuries of turbulent change in Gaelic society.

After becoming king in 1199, resentment grew and grew at the inept way John dealt with financial issues until matters came to a head with his barons.John lost his military campaigns; he was corrupt, indulged in blackmail, and manipulated the justice system more than any other king. He was a womaniser and rumours of ruthlessness surrounded him. The author provides fascinating insights into Johns rule, which ultimately leads to the story of Magna Carta. Magna Carta placed huge impositions on the king; now he could no longer rule arbitrarily but only in accordance with the law of the land. The impact of this precedence remains with us today.From the charters clauses that focussed on more mundane matters to a whole range of references to feudal issues, this guide is a perfect introduction to the incompetent rule of King John and his legacy that is Magna Carta. Calls to standardise measures of wine, ale and corn follow the collapse of empire, bound together in this informative guide complete with full-colour illustrations and contempoaray artworks.
