Las descarnadas, inspiradoras y emocionantes memorias del icono y legendario ganador de varios premios Oscar, Sylvester Stallone, sobre su increíble camino al estrellato y la mejor historia jamás contada de un ganador contra todo pronostico.En los cincuenta años transcurridos desde que Sylvester Stallone subio corriendo los escalones del Museo de Arte de Filadelfia, el mismo y esos escalones se han convertido en simbolos de resiliencia y determinacion, y han inspirado a millones de personas de todo el mundo para perseguir sus sueños. En Los escalones, Stallone relata como persiguio sus propios sueños. Culminando un proceso de reflexion de decadas, Sly cuenta sus origenes -un nacimiento dificil, una infancia aun mas dificil, años de problemas en el colegio por no ser comprendido- y explica como la historia real de una vida exitosa se construye afrontando, asumiendo y, en ultimo termino, superando nuestras dificultades. La clave esta en la distancia que estamos dispuestos a recorrer y en los pasos que debemos dar para pasar de donde estamos a donde queremos llegar.En una narracion enmarcada entre su llegada a Nueva York en 1969 y el triunfo de Rocky en los Oscar de 1977, Sly teje un vivido y apasionante relato de lucha, subsistencia y, finalmente, exito. Escribe sobre sus inicios y tambien sobre los años posteriores, asi como sobre la persistencia, creatividad y resiliencia que lo llevaron no solamente a crear Rocky, sino a labrarse una carrera repleta de papeles iconicos. Los escalones constituye un testimonio de la extraordinaria vida de Stallone y una profunda meditacion sobre la importancia de la fuerza de voluntad, la vision y el trabajo duro.

Unprivilegiadoacceso a lamente delgenio de laarquitectura através de suspropiosescritos.A lo largo de la historia, algunos libros han transformado la manera en que nos vemos a nosotros mismos y a los demas. Han inspirado el debate, la discordia, la guerra y la revolucion. Han iluminado, indignado, provocado y consolado. Han enriquecido vidas, y tambien las han destruido. Taurus publica las obras de los grandes pensadores, pioneros, radicales y visionarios cuyas ideas sacudieron la civilizacion y nos impulsaron a ser quienes somos.Maximo representante del modernismo catalan, Antoni Gaudi es hoy uno de los arquitectos españoles con mayor proyeccion internacional. Sus obras, fruto de un talento excepcional para unir estructura, funcion y ornamento, surgieron en un periodo de esplendor economico y cultural. Su alcance sigue despertando admiracion entre curiosos y expertos, y ha convertido sus edificios en un atractivo central de la Barcelona contemporanea. En este volumen, sin embargo, es el propio Gaudi quien expone sus ideas sobre arquitectura, construccion y ornamentacion, asi como sobre el templo y la casa, sus tipologias preferidas. Estos textos permiten acceder a la mente y la concepcion del trabajo del artista antes del mito.

Un recorrido irreverente y documentado por las historias más sorprendentes, polémicas y humanas del arte universal.Detrás de cada cuadro icónico y cada escultura inmortal hay una historia que rara vez aparece en los manuales: duelos a espada, fraudes millonarios, robos, censuras, obsesiones, venganzas, pasiones desbordadas y genios que rozaron la locura.En estas paginas, la historia del arte se convierte en un territorio vibrante y humano. Desde los talleres del Renacimiento hasta los escandalos del arte contemporaneo, pasando por guerras, conspiraciones y rivalidades legendarias, el lector descubrira que el arte no se entiende solo mirando las obras sino conociendo a quienes las crearon.Un libro que mezcla rigor y humor, cultura y provocacion, documento y anecdota, para demostrar que el arte no nacio en un museo silencioso, sino en medio del ruido del mundo.El arte esta lleno de historiones.

Una propuesta innovadora para repensar el futuro de las ciudades y responder a los grandes desafíos de nuestro tiempo.Carlos Moreno, pionero a la hora de plantear una visión urbana centrada en las personas y asesor urbanistico internacional de referencia, desarrolla en este libro su influyente concepto de la ciudad de los 15 minutos. Una idea tan sencilla como revolucionaria: que los espacios esenciales de la vida cotidiana escuelas, comercios, servicios o trabajo se encuentren a una distancia accesible a pie o en bicicleta. Adoptado ya por numerosas ciudades en el mundo, este modelo se consolida como una herramienta clave para avanzar hacia entornos urbanos mas sostenibles.A partir de ejemplos concretos y propuestas fundamentadas en la investigacion, Moreno analiza como reducir la dependencia del automovil, reorganizar el espacio urbano y recuperar tiempo para la vida. El resultado es una obra clara y sugerente que ofrece estrategias para construir ciudades mas habitables, cohesionadas y resilientes.La critica ha dicho: ¿Que es la ciudad de los 15 minutos? Es la ciudad de la proximidad, donde puedes encontrar todo lo que necesitas a menos de 15 minutos de tu casa. Este es un requisito indispensable para la transformacion ecologica de las urbes, al mismo tiempo que mejora la vida cotidiana de los parisinos. Anne Hidalgo, alcaldesa de Paris La agenda urbana es el espacio en el que ganaremos el entusiasmo y el compromiso de la ciudadania con la revolucion del progreso verde y social. Las ciudades de 15 minutos son esa idea brillante que convierte lo complejo en simple, lo transformador en atractivo, con un hilo conductor para pensar y probar los cambios. Debemos agradecer a Carlos Moreno su ayuda para comprender e impulsar los cambios necesarios, para conquistar ciudades limpias, saludables y cercanas, a escala humana, para los vecinos. Teresa Ribera, vicepresidenta primera de la Comision Europea para la Transicion Limpia, Justa y Competitiva Sus ideas transforman muchas de las ciudades del mundo en lugares mas verdes, saludables y agradables para vivir. Mark Watts, director ejecutivo de C40 Cities Con su nuevo libro, Carlos Moreno ofrece una importante contribucion a arquitectos, urbanistas y dirigentes al proponer soluciones pragmaticas para humanizar las ciudades en todos los entornos climaticos alrededor de los cinco continentes.

El relato en primera persona de una de las leyendas del punk español. Un recorrido nostálgico por las décadas que marcaron y cambiaron para siempre la historia de la música de este país.Guitarras, resacas y alguna que otra verdad. Mas que unas memorias, este libro es un parte de guerra. ¡Esas palmas, coño! es la historia de un chaval de Vigo que nacio entre calles de barro, aprendio a tocar la guitarra con un trasto canjeado por cupones de supermercado, monto una banda punk sin saber muy bien como y acabo llenando estadios por toda España. Luego, cuando todo iba viento en popa, cogio su Gibson SG y se largo.Con la honestidad de quien ya no tiene que impresionar a nadie, Miguel Costas recorre en estas paginas su propia vida: entre el cachondeo punk y las perdidas que no avisan; entre la fanfarroneria de los noventa y la vulnerabilidad de quien aprendio nunca es tarde que pedir ayuda no te hace mas debil.Desde el barrio del Calvario hasta los escenarios mas sudorosos del pais, estas memorias cuentan el viaje de un hombre que lo gano casi todo, lo perdio a ratos y aprendio que algunas deudas no se pagan con dinero: se pagan sobreviviendo.

Bad Bunny, perrear es cosa de humanos.En un mundo, nada lejano, en el que los algoritmos nos esclavizaban ante las pantallas, surgió un héroe inesperado: un cantante puertorriqueño que hacía todo lo que jamas conseguirian las maquinas. Nos arranco del sillon y nos puso a bailar y a sentir nuestro cuerpo y el cuerpo de los otros. Nos enseño que las fotos que permanecen no son las compuestas de pixeles, sino las que conservamos en la memoria porque las hicimos con la mirada. Nos recordo que los humanos somos historias y que ninguna inteligencia sintetica podra contarlas como lo hacemos nosotros.Nuestro heroe se llamaba Benito Antonio, pero todos le conociamos como Bad Bunny. Con el aprendimos que la creatividad nace del asombro y de la curiosidad, de los errores y de los hallazgos inesperados, del deseo y del atrevimiento.Lejos de una biografia convencional, estas paginas mezclan cronica cultural, reflexion contemporanea y pasion musical para explicar por que Bad Bunny se ha convertido en una figura generacional. No solo por sus exitos, sino por su capacidad para transformar la fiesta en reivindicacion y el entretenimiento en un espacio de resistencia cultural.

Where is Charles Simonds? Throughout the 1970s, his diminutive Dwellings, tiny architectural ruins of an imaginary civilization, could be found throughout the crumbling infrastructure of downtown New York. Preoccupied with the relationship between the grown and the built, the archaeological and the urban, Simonds shared friendship and ideas with Gordon Matta-Clark and Robert Smithson. Like Lucy Lippard, with whom he lived during that decade, Simonds believed in combining art and activism, always preferring what he called the "real world" to the art world. Yet despite taking part in many of the seminal exhibitions and art events of 1970s New York, Simonds has left few traces on art history. In order to explain Simondss absence while simultaneously arguing for his central place within it, Jules Pelta Feldman reconsiders the decades self-conception, finding that Simonds exemplifies much of what has been ignored in 1970s artand much of what establishes it as a unique period of experimentation and possibility.

This comprehensive monograph on the Austrian artist Birgit Jurgenssen offers a fresh and extensive insight into her nearly 40-year career. As early as the age of eight, she combined her name with that of the Spanish master in a schoolbook to form BICASSO Jurgenssen. Her early work is characterised by remarkable shoe art and feminist-subversive, ironic drawings. Since Jurgenssen was never concerned with a recognizable style, the monograph reveals her artistic diversity and her spirit of experimentation. The essays illustrate Jurgenssens intellectual horizon, which spans from Surrealism through Freudian psychoanalysis to Structuralism. Furthermore, Jurgenssens longstanding interest in Japanese aesthetics and culture, as well as their influence on her artistic work, is presented here for the first time. Born in Vienna, Birgit Jurgenssen (19492003) began her photographic practice in 1963. A 1967 residency in Paris introduced her to Surrealist poetry and the works of Antonin Artaud, influences that would shape her artistic trajectory. Following her graduation from the University of Applied Arts Vienna in 1971, she gained prominence through her participation in the 1975 exhibition MAGNA Feminism, Art and Creativity, curated by VALIE EXPORT. From 1982 onward, she taught with Arnulf Rainers master class at the Academy of Fine Arts, where she established the photography curriculum and served as a professor until the end of her life.

Stopgap Measures presents an exciting selection of essays, interviews and shorter pieces on the work of American artist Mike Kelley (19542012) written over more than three decades by the noted art historian and cultural critic John C. Welchman. Kelleys provocative career gave rise to some of the most conceptually and materially diverse work of recent times in performance, writing, painting, drawing, sculpture, banners, multimedia installation, appropriated objects and images and video, as well as numereous collaborations. This volume includes reflections on specific works, and features a signature series of pathbreaking essays on Kelleys innovations in photography and writing as well as explorations of major themes in his practice, research and thinking: physical comedy and verbal humor; memory; popular culture, dress-up and Americana; the uncanny; imaginative projection and dark fantasy; appropriation and giving; authorship and self-construction; and the artists littleremarked upon negotiation with the histories of and ideas about Asia. The book concludes with new essays on Kelleys engagement with animals and the nonhuman; and on the refrain disappearances that punctuate Kelleys career set in relation to specters of social catastrophe and nuclear annihilation.

Artist Tony Both worked in Liverpool during the early 1960s, just around the corner from The Cavern Club and close to the Beatles manager Brian Epsteins office in Whitechapel. Tonys work caught Epsteins eye, and he would go on to produce posters, printed leaflets and a wide variety of publicity and display materials for Epsteins artists, most notably for a young four-piece beat combo called the Beatles. Alongside his work for Epstein, Tony produced hand-painted gig posters for many promoters, including Sam Leach, Allan Williams and The Cavern Clubs DJ Bob Wooler, who also promoted many of the big events. Tonys original posters now fetch a considerable sum of money, and The Beatles in Posters features these as well as exact replicas of those that have been lost to time. This is the first book of its type and is a must-buy for all fans of the Fab Four and the Merseybeat scene.
