Pese a que sus padres están convencidos de que Valentino se convertirá en un gran hombre, sus hermanas creen que no es más que un joven vanidoso, egoísta y frívolo, más preocupado por sus conquistas que por sus estudios de medicina. El repentino compromiso de Valentino con una mujer rica pero poco agraciada y diez años mayor acabará con los sueños de sus padres, quienes, escandalizados ante tan desafortunada elección, sospechan de la novia.

Francia y la poesía fueron los primeros grandes amores de Stefan Zweig, que dedicó una buena parte de su obra a sacar de su «aparente oscuridad» a los genios de la creación y contagiar así sus pasiones a los lectores. A petición de la editorial berlinesa Schuster & Loeffler, el joven escritor compuso esta breve monografía sobre Paul Verlaine, su primer ensayo biográfico. Esta pequeña joya publicada en 1 9 0 5, que incluye traducciones de algunos de los poemas más emblemáticos del poeta, inauguró en la carrera de Zweig un género literario en el que desplegaría todo su talento y sensibilidad.

A ningún dictador le bastan el miedo y la violencia para gobernar: estas estrategias pueden resultar indispensables para alcanzar el poder e incluso para mantenerlo durante un tiempo, pero no suelen ser efectivas a largo plazo. La paradoja del dictador moderno es que debe crear la ilusión del respaldo popular, pues sólo un tirano cuyo gobierno es capaz de inspirar idolatría en el pueblo conseguirá perpetuarse.

Invitado a exponer sus piezas de cerámica en el museo Nissim de Camondo, Edmund de Waal disfrutó del inesperado privilegio de adentrarse en uno de los palacetes más lujosos de París, antigua propiedad de una influyente familia sefardí. Construido por deseo del filántropo y coleccionista de arte Moïse de Camondo en 1912, el edificio acoge desde entonces una extraordinaria colección de arte francés del siglo xviii. Sin embargo, como ocurrió a los antepasados de De Waal, los Ephrussi, también los Camondo se convirtieron pronto en blanco del antisemitismo.

Esta es la historia de Hans Castorp, un joven y modesto ingeniero que llega a un sanatorio ubicado en los Alpes suizos para visitar a su primo. La estancia que preveía corta se dilata en el tiempo y acaba formando parte de esta nueva forma de vida en la que se relativiza el transcurso del tiempo. Sentado en el balcón del sanatorio y envuelto en una manta, Hans reflexiona acerca de la vida, la muerte y el amor. El resultado es una de las grandes obras maestras de la literatura universal.

El retrato del «matrimonio Arnolfini», que Jan van Eyck pintó en 1434, es uno de los cuadros más fascinantes de la historia del arte: admirado a lo largo de los siglos, objeto de innumerables estudios, esconde sin embargo un secreto, un significado oculto que se hurta aún hoy incluso a la mirada más atenta.

En este libro, que incorpora treinta nuevos textos, se habla de jugadores y aficionados, entrenadores y presidentes, derrotas y triunfos, de emoción y vergüenza; también del carácter casi cinematográfico de este deporte, de la cuidadosa memoria y el rápido olvido, del patriotismo, la celebración de los goles, los himnos, los andares y gestos llenos de significado. Y vemos el fútbol como lo que seguramente es, en el fondo, para millones de aficionados: un interminable desfile de héroes, villanos, figurantes y gestas, un espectáculo que quizá merece la pena tomarse en serio.

El alumno aventajado reúne tres pequeñas obras maestras de Joseph Roth, prologadas por Friderike Zweig. "Bajo la influencia del alcohol era un hombre alegre y optimista, capaz de culminar las tareas más brillantes y precisas, y así llenaba una página tras otra con su hermosa y firme letra. Trabajaba casi siempre en las terrazas de los cafés, y nunca se impacientaba cuando alguno de sus amigos, que eran muchos y de las más variadas naciones, razas y capas sociales, se dejaba caer por allí para interrumpirlo.
By: Joseph Roth
Publisher's summary
En este lúcido ensayo, el erudito ensayista francés analiza la obra de Élisabeth Louise Vigee Le Brun, una de las pintoras más brillantes e ignoradas de las últimas decadas prerrevolucionarias en Francia. Retratista magistral "capaz de conjugar el parecido fiel con la idealización im- palpable", Vigee Le Brun fue la aliada a la que escogió María Antonieta para ofrecer una imagen humana y digna de ese mundus muliebris que ella representaba y que, supuestamente, corrompía el prestigio y la autoridad de los monarcas a fuerza de afeminarlos. Un relato fascinante que recrea con magnífica precisión el virulento despertar de una misoginia política, moral y social que hizo de la reina María Antonieta y su retratista oficial sus chivos expiatorios.

When two Stanford graduate students set out to create a new kind of cigarette that wouldn’t kill them, they didn’t foresee all the obstacles that lay ahead — or the powerful forces their invention would unleash. Nearly 10 years after the launch of the JUUL, Backfired: The Vaping Wars asks: Could e-cigarettes have been the solution to one of the world’s most pressing public health problems—or was this technology doomed to introduce a whole new generation to nicotine, and end up perpetuating an intractable addiction?

Our vulnerabilities are not weaknesses; they are powerful reminders to keep our hearts and minds open to the reality that we're all in this together.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

Story5 out of 5 stars 112
In weeks after the September 11 attacks, 18-year-old Mansoor Adayfi was kidnapped by Afghan militia and sold to US forces for bounty money. After months of interrogations, he was sent to the US military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, as one of its first prisoners. Like the nearly 800 other men imprisoned at Guantanamo, Adayfi didn’t know why he was imprisoned or for how long. He had never seen a skyscraper and couldn’t imagine what the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center looked like, much less how they were destroyed.

A Room of One's Own, based on a lecture given at Girton College Cambridge, is one of the great feminist polemics. Woolf's blazing polemic on female creativity, the role of the writer, and the silent fate of Shakespeare's imaginary sister remains a powerful reminder of a woman's need for financial independence and intellectual freedom.

On the face of it, a simple book of 26 poem fables sharing one man’s wisdom. But The Prophet is so much more than that. It has inspired people from John F Kennedy to The Beatles and became the '60s Bible of counterculture – all because of the timeless truths it shared. Each poem takes a different theme – pleasure, beauty, freedom, joy and sorrow – as the fictional Al Mustapha shares his thoughts and experiences as he prepares to travel back to his island home.
