El baile y la poesía se abrazan, envolviéndose en musicalidad, cadencia y gracia. Comparten un trozo de espacio y de tiempo, los devoran y nada escapa de su hambre eterna de sonido y movimiento. El baile inmortaliza la interacción entre el hombre y la dama, en el mutuo consenso de girar en el viento cargado de fuego y melodías. El poeta, al igual que un caballero, debe invitar a la poesía y, con su venia, el poema fluye, late su corazón, le brotan carne y huesos, respira y baila.
La historia del hombre que llevó la física a sus límites... y a los suyos propios. Una vida de descubrimiento, genialidad y aislamiento.
Roger Penrose, uno de los grandes genios que nos ha dado el siglo XX, revolucionó nuestra comprensión del espacio, el tiempo y los agujeros negros. Premio Nobel de Física, colaborador de Stephen Hawking y creador de algunas de las teorías más audaces y controvertidas sobre el universo, Penrose ha sido una figura clave en la ciencia contemporánea. Sin embargo, su genialidad vino acompañada de una gran dificultad para conectar con otras personas.
El hombre imposible es la primera biografía completa y profundamente humana de Penrose. A lo largo de estas páginas, el periodista científico Patchen Barss narra, con precisión y empatía, los grandes hitos científicos y las múltiples paradojas personales de un hombre que vivió a caballo entre la matemática trascendente y el desconcierto emocional. Desde su infancia marcada por la frialdad paterna hasta sus ideas visionarias sobre el universo y la conciencia, este retrato revela el precio —a menudo muy alto— de una vida dedicada por entero al pensamiento.
This luxuriously designed and lavishly illustrated publication is the most definitive look at the rich history of the revolutionary and iconic fashion brand built by Emilio Pucci. Featuring never-before-seen material from the brand’s archives at the Palazzo Pucci in Florence, this is the most detailed and comprehensive monograph ever published.
First championed by Jacqueline Kennedy, Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe, and later pop icons Madonna and Kylie Minogue, the brand is known for pioneering collaborations. Many of the greatest names in fashion and art have worked with Pucci, championed by leading fashion editors Suzy Menkes, Maria Pezzi, and Diana Vreeland and photographers Peter Lindbergh, Franco Rubartelli, Mario Testino, and Inez & Vinoodh.
Since 2002, daring creative directors—Christian Lacroix, Peter Dundas, Massimo Giorgetti, and most recently Camille Miceli—have been inspired by Pucci’s incredible heritage as the starting point for new creative directions.
Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird
One of the most cherished stories of all time, To Kill a Mockingbird has earned many distinctions since its publication in 1960. It won the Pulitzer Prize, was named the best novel of the twentieth century by librarians across the nation, and was voted by readers as America’s “most beloved novel” on PBS’s The Great American Read. It remains a staple of many high school reading lists across the country and has been translated into more than forty languages, selling more than forty million copies worldwide. A gripping, heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South poisoned by virulent prejudice, it views a world of great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, Scout Finch, and her brother, Jem, as their father, Atticus—a crusading local lawyer—risks everything to defend a Black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime.
