Todos los hombres deben morir
Se suponía que era imposible. Cuando George R. R. Martin creó la saga bestseller de novelas fantásticas titulada Canción de hielo y fuego, lo hizo con la idea de confinarla únicamente a los inmensos límites de su imaginación dada la dificultad que conllevaría el rodaje. Sin embargo, un par de guionistas primerizos, junto con HBO, lograron adaptar el épico relato de Martin y el resultado es de sobras conocido: muchos hemos visto las ocho temporadas de la serie que llegaron a continuación. Juego de tronos se erigió como el ojito derecho de la crítica y batió todos los récords de audiencia. Fue galardonada con 59 premios Emmy y la siguieron más de 44 millones de espectadores solo en Estados Unidos. A pesar del éxito, siempre bien documentado, todavía nos queda una historia por conocer sobre Juego de tronos: los entresijos de los trece años de lucha para sacar adelante este extraordinario fenómeno.

Durante el rodaje y antes de los sucesivos estrenos, todos y cada uno de los detalles de la serie estaban sometidos al más alto nivel de confidencialidad. Sin embargo, un periodista del Entertainment Weekly tuvo acceso privilegiado a los platós. Entrevistó en exclusiva a diversos miembros del equipo, desde los showrunners, los guionistas o el propio George R. R. Martin, hasta estrellas como Peter Dinklage, Emilia Clarke o Kit Harington, entre muchos otros.

En Todos los hombres deben morir, James Hibberd nos ofrece la historia oficial e íntegra de Juego de tronos. Desde la reunión inicial del equipo creativo hasta la puesta en escena del final de la serie, pasando por todas las épicas batallas que se libraron delante y detrás de las cámaras y que también se convirtieron en leyenda. Repleto de anécdotas sorprendentes, detalles jugosos del rodaje y datos reveladores sobre la trama, este volumen, avalado por HBO, harálas delicias de los fans de la serie, además de conmemorar una era excepcional e inolvidable de la historia del entretenimiento.

Esclava de la libertad
Cuba, mediados del siglo XIX
A la isla caribeña arriba un barco portador de una siniestra carga. Más de setecientas mujeres y niñas secuestradas de su África natal llegan para trabajar, hasta la extenuación, en los campos de caña de azúcar y parir hijos que serán también esclavos. Kaweka es una de ellas, una muchacha que vivirá en primera persona el horror de la esclavitud en la hacienda del cruel marqués de Santadoma, pero que pronto demostrará a quienes la rodean que posee la facultad de comulgar con Yemayá. Esta es una diosa voluble que, en ocasiones, le concede el don de la curación y le proporciona la fuerza para liderar a sus hermanos de raza en la lucha por la libertad contra unos opresores que han logrado esclavizar sus cuerpos, pero no sus almas.

Madrid, época actual
Lita, una joven mulata, es hija de Concepción, la mujer que lleva toda la vida sirviendo en casa de los marqueses de Santadoma, en pleno barrio de Salamanca, al igual que hicieron sus antepasadas en la Cuba colonial. A pesar de tener estudios y ambición profesional, la precariedad laboral obliga a Lita a recurrir a los todopoderosos señores de Santadoma en busca de una oportunidad en la banca propiedad del marqués. A medida que se sumerge en las finanzas de la empresa y en el pasado de esta riquísima familia, la joven descubre los orígenes de su fortuna y decide emprender una batalla legal en favor de la dignidad y la justicia, que merecen tanto su madre como todas las mujeres que entregaron sus vidas al servicio de unos blancos que nunca las trataron como a iguales.

La novela del verano

Dos escritores, unas vacaciones y una apuesta.

Todo puede suceder durante el verano

January Andrews es escritora de novelas románticas y una soñadora empedernida.

Augustus Everett escribe novelas serias y cree que el amor verdadero es solo un cuento chino.

Pero January y Gus tienen mucho más en común de lo que creen:

Los dos están arruinados.
Los dos están bloqueados.
Y los dos necesitan escribir un bestseller antes de que termine el verano.

Lecciones de etica
A pesar de que Kant dedicó más de cuatro décadas a la docencia universitaria, es ésta una faceta del filósofo de Königsberg que ha sido bastante desatendida hasta el momento. En el caso concreto de las Lecciones de ética, dictadas entre los años 1775 y 1781, nos encontramos ante un texto de valor inestimable para estudiar el proceso evolutivo del planteamiento moral de Kant. Su lectura nos proporciona las claves necesarias para comprender mejor, por ejemplo, nada menos que la estructura de la propia Crítica de la razón práctica o ciertos temas de la Metafísica de las costumbres, ya que la mayor parte de los problemas abordados en esas obras reciben cumplida explicitación en estas Lecciones de ética, cuyo continuo descenso a la casuística nos permite explorar la cara oculta del formalismo kantiano.

Beach Read
Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast.

They’re polar opposites.

In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, they're living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writer's block.

Until, one hazy evening, one thing leads to another and they strike a deal designed to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. She’ll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he’ll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love. Really.

Vamos
Ideas audaces para una región más rica, más justa, más integrada en el mundo e infinitamente más feliz.

América Latina es un enigma. Mientras los medios publican titulares sobre protestas, crimen, desigualdad, populismo y deuda, quienes viven y trabajan en esta región de setecientos millones de personas afrontan una realidad infinitamente más compleja, asombrosa y -en muchas ocasiones- alentadora.

Pocas figuras comprenden esta dualidad más íntimamente que Luis Alberto Moreno. Después de más de tres décadas en el centro de la actividad política, diplomática y empresarial del hemisferio sur, Moreno ofrece un valioso recorrido por unos países cuya acelerada transformación se resiste a las interpretaciones convencionales.

A través de su amistad con jóvenes, alcaldesas, académicos, ejecutivos, artistas, gastrónomos, jefes de Estado y pequeños empresarios, Moreno ilumina las paradojas de un continente donde la frustración convive con la creatividad, el patriotismo, la solidaridad y la esperanza.

Jacqueline in Paris
In September 1949 Jacqueline Bouvier arrives in postwar Paris to begin her junior year abroad. She’s twenty years old, socially poised but financially precarious, and all too aware of her mother’s expectations that she make a brilliant match. Before relenting to family pressure, she has one year to herself far away from sleepy Vassar College and the rigid social circles of New York, a year to explore and absorb the luminous beauty of the City of Light. Jacqueline is immediately catapulted into an intoxicating new world of champagne and châteaux, art and avant-garde theater, cafés and jazz clubs. She strikes up a romance with a talented young writer who shares her love of literature and passion for culture – even though her mother would think him most unsuitable.

But beneath the glitter and rush, France is a fragile place still haunted by the Occupation. Jacqueline lives in a rambling apartment with a widowed countess and her daughters, all of whom suffered as part of the French Resistance just a few years before. In the aftermath of World War II, Paris has become a nest of spies, and suspicion, deception, and betrayal lurk around every corner. Jacqueline is stunned to watch the rise of communism – anathema in America, but an active movement in France – never guessing she is witnessing the beginning of the political environment that will shape the rest of her life—and that of her future husband.

Evocative, sensitive, and rich in historic detail, Jacqueline in Paris portrays the origin story of an American icon. Ann Mah brilliantly imagines the intellectual and aesthetic awakening of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, and illuminates how France would prove to be her one true love, and one of the greatest influences on her life.

The Lightning Rod
Archie Mint has a secret. He’s led a charmed life—he’s got a beautiful wife, two impressive kids, and a successful military career. But when he’s killed while trying to stop a robbery in his own home, his family is shattered—and then shocked when the other shoe drops. Mint’s been hiding criminal secrets none of them could have imagined.

While working on Mint’s body before his funeral, mortician “Zig” Zigarowski discovers something he was never meant to see. That telling detail leads him to Mint’s former top secret military unit and his connection to artist Nola Brown. Two years ago, Nola saved Zig’s life—so he knows better than most that she’s as volatile and dangerous as a bolt of lightning.

Following Nola’s trail, he uncovers one of the U.S. government’s most intensely guarded secrets—an undisclosed military facility that dates back to the Cold War and holds the key to something far more sinister: a hidden group willing to compromise the very safety and security of America itself.

Trouble always finds her…

The Kiss Curse
Gwyn Jones is perfectly happy with her life in Graves Glen. She, her mom, and her cousin have formed a new and powerful coven; she’s running a successful witchcraft shop, Something Wicked; and she’s started mentoring some of the younger witches in town. As Halloween approaches, there’s only one problem—Llewellyn “Wells” Penhallow.

Wells has come to Graves Glen to re-establish his family’s connection to the town they founded as well as to make a new life for himself after years of being the dutiful son in Wales. When he opens up a shop of his own, Penhallow’s, just across the street from Something Wicked, he quickly learns he’s gotten more than he bargained for in going up against Gwyn.

When their professional competition leads to a very personal—and very hot—kiss, both Wells and Gwyn are determined to stay away from each other, convinced the kiss was just a magical fluke. But when a mysterious new coven of witches come to town and Gwyn’s powers begin fading, she and Wells must work together to figure out just what these new witches want and how to restore Gwyn’s magic before it’s too late.

El greco
Greek artist Domínikos Theotokópoulos, usually referred to as El Greco, is considered one of the most outstanding artists of the late sixteenth century. He became the main representative of Mannerism in Spain with an individual style that was unusual and groundbreaking for his time and provided inspiration for modernists centuries later.

Gainsborough
Thomas Gainsborough was one of the great English portrait and landscape painters of the eighteenth century. His modern manner of painting based on emotions was criticized by contemporaries such as Joshua Reynolds, but it gave Gainsborough a special position in an art world dominated by academic rigor and earned him the greatest appreciation from English society.

Gothic 1200-1500
Painting from 1200 to 1500 is a mirror of its time, marked by deep religiousness as well as progressive tendencies, by economic prosperity as well as devastating wars and epidemics. A religious perspective is joined by secular themes and efforts to achieve a realistic way of representation. These developments take place in book illumination, which is accessible to rather few people, as well as in the public medium of frescoes and, since 1300, also in panel paintings. With nearly 500 works, Gothic 1200-1500 gives an overview of the visual art of the time.

Pintura Española 1665 -1920
From the lavish abundance of the late Baroque court and epoch-making painters like Bartolomé Esteban Murillo and Francisco de Goya, to the appearance of Romanticism and Classicism in the age of the art academies, and the innovative and sometimes scandalous achievements of modernism, Spanish painting offers an extraordinary panorama of outstanding artists, styles, and themes. With around 450 illustrations, Spanish Painting (1665–1920) illuminates the developments from the end of the Golden Age in the 17th century to the early 20th century, and thus serves as a companion to the equally opulent volume Spanish Painting 1200–1665 from Romanesque to the Baroque.

Berthe Morisot
Berthe Morisot (1841-1895) was the first female representative of Impressionism. At first she still worked strongly influenced by Manet's style. But quickly she developed her own unique handwriting. The artist increasingly became a role model for her male colleagues. Morisot's works show the bourgeois life of their time with bright colours. With over 150 illustrations, this volume shows the impressive work of this impressionist painter.
