UNA HISTORIA FASCINANTE Y ACCESIBLE DEL MILAGRO CULTURAL DE LA PALABRA ESCRITA, DESDE EL MUNDO ANTIGUO HASTA LA ÉPOCA MODERNA.Desde las simples formas representativas que se usaban en el antiguo Egipto para registrar los trueques hasta los sofisticados recursos tipograficos disponibles en un ordenador del siglo XXI, podemos afirmar que los distintos periodos de la evolucion de la escritura conforman la historia de la civilizacion misma.En Los nombres del mundo, Ewan Clayton analiza esta evolucion y explora su impacto social y cultural: la invencion del alfabeto; la sustitucion del rollo de papiro por el codice en la epoca tardorromana; el perfeccionamiento en el siglo XV de la imprenta que se vale de tipos moviles y la consiguiente extension de la alfabetizacion; la industrializacion de los procesos de impresion durante la Revolucion francesa; el impacto que tuvo en la palabra escrita el modernismo a principios del siglo XX, y los significativos cambios que la era digital ha supuesto en nuestros habitos de escritura en el comienzo de este siglo. El esclarecedor libro de Clayton es un lugar ideal para iniciar una exploracion de la mas sofisticada de las tecnologias: la escritura. Daily TelegraphUn libro que ningun bibliofilo se debe perder.

Unretratopreciso ymordaz delmundo editorialdesdedentro,poralguiendedicadotoda lavida asentenciarmanuscritos.El arte de rechazar manuscritos nunca es sencillo: deja una herida en el ego de quienes escriben. En España, por cada uno de los noventa mil libros que se publican al año, se descartan quince veces mas propuestas. ¿El responsable de todo esto? El editor. En este breve ensayo, Constantino Bertolo reflexiona con lucidez e ironia sobre las luces y sombras de un oficio que convierte en libro la promesa de un texto y acompaña con dedicacion la creacion literaria.--------------La coleccion Endebate es el hogar de aquellos textos breves que presentan una opinion, defienden una actitud o cuentan una historia, pero son mas un aperitivo que un banquete, estimulan la conversacion mas que saciarla e inician un festin (que no clausuran). Como los mejores bocados, entran por los ojos y dejan un largo poso en el paladar.

Throughout 2024, Samar Yazbek met with hundreds of survivors from Gaza asking each one of them about their experience of October 7, 2023, and what their life has been like since that pivotal date. She has selected twenty-six of these narratives to share with the world. Yazbek captures the raw, chilling accounts of ordinary civilians aged thirteen to sixty-five, who have witnessed what history may one day remember as one of the most savage military offensives of our time. Their stories reveal a nightmarish dystopia, where each survivor has endured unimaginable loss homes shattered, loved ones vanished, limbs obliterated and many have been treated in hospitals ravaged by Israeli attacks. But these survivors remain determined to share their stories, and cling to the hope that their voices will resonate. The title, Your Presence Is a Danger to Your Life, is adapted from one of the flyers dropped on the residents of Gaza minutes before a bombing.

When Brian Dillon was sixteen his mother died and he simply gave up all schoolwork. While he courted exam failure, his real education was going on elsewhere: with books, music, films and television. When at last he made it to university, his head was already full of avant-garde writing, art and ideas. Could academia live up to the hopes and dreams he had invested in it? Halfway through college his father died, and the stakes of reading and writing seemed even higher. Ambivalence explores what learning meant to its author, what it enabled and denied, between the ages of seventeen and twenty-six, when he left his native Dublin. Its at once a memoir of that city in the 1980s and 1990s, an uncynical portrait of the adolescent and early-adult mind, and an intimate defence of radical thinking about literature and life. In vivid present-tense fragments, Dillon describes his first encounters with writers such as Virginia Woolf, Walter Benjamin, Samuel Beckett, Roland Barthes and Jacques Derrida. He recalls being seduced by ambivalence, ambiguity and androgyny on the page and in the life he hoped his reading would transfigure. The era he describes seemed to demand new ways of thinking about aesthetics and politics. Today, when rights are fragile, arts and humanities attacked, and students dismissed as radicals or narcissists, Ambivalence is an argument for the poetic and revolutionary force of changing yourself and even the world by changing what you know.

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).

Aleksander Kacprzak approaches the concept of love through the lens of the Danish language, providing insight into its language and culture relative side. In addition to providing a cognitively viable account of the concept of krlighed love, the author allows the reader to explore broader areas of the Danish worldview, which the concept is inherently connected to, such as marriage, sex, gender parity, parenthood, God, friendship and homeland. Altogether, the dynamic and diverse picture of the concept drawn in the analytic parts of the book challenges the common understanding of linguistic categorization, and compels one to perceive worldviews as an organic whole, in which concepts are inextricably tied to one another and cannot be considered in isolation to the culture in which they are immersed.
