Sentís E: Diálogo con el tabaco

Diálogo con el tabaco

From a leading public health expert and physician, and in the style of Studs Terkel's Working, comes an eye-opening look at what it’s like to have to work physically hard for your money in America . . . A Living is a vivid portrait of the working lives of the patients who visit Dr. Michael Stein, a primary care doctor in urban America. What makes his patients unique is that they, by and large, do demanding manual labor. Very few have the luxury of working remotely, or seated.&nbsp;&nbsp; Inspired by Studs Terkel’s classic Working, Stein produces an eye-opening look at what it’s like to have to work long hours at physical jobs for a paycheck in America. A Living is composed of vignettes, snap shots of people’s working lives, the dramas, disappointments and frustrations workers have with their colleagues, family co-workers, and supervisors. And yet it also captures the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, the opportunities for initiative and self-expression that come from doing intricate work with one’s hands. Work gives Stein’s patients a sense of identity and a social environment to thrive in. Ultimately, A Living is an extraordinarily powerful and poetic tableaux of working-class America at this moment when manual labor may be the final refuge in the new era of AI.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERFrom the first content creator to interview President Biden, leading progressive voice Brian Tyler Cohen takes a step back from the day-to-day news cycle to explain how American politics has turned into such a dumpster fire-and what Democrats need to do to get us out of it. In Shameless, Brian Tyler Cohen lays bare the long con of the modern Republican Party. While the radical right continues hiding behind gaslighting maneuvers, artificial slogans, and hollow catchphrases, Cohen's unflinching narrative illuminates the realities and dangers of the ever-widening gulf between the vaunted Republican brand and their actual behavior. With a foreword by Congressman Jamie Raskin, drawing on interviews and insights from Pete Buttigieg, Mehdi Hasan, Jen Psaki, and other luminaries of the Left, Cohen reveals:How Republicans have leaned on their histor­ical branding to give themselves a permission structure to behave antithetically to everything they say;Why the mainstream media has proved itself a willing participant in this ongoing farce- particularly since the rise of toxic, sensational­ist MAGA mania; andWhat lessons Democrats can glean from a clear-eyed view of the landscape we're operating in-and the steps we must take to rebalance our political landscape. During this all-hands-on-deck moment in our his­tory, Shameless is essential reading for those seeking to understand our dire situation, and a rallying cry for those fighting to preserve democracy.

Republicans’ Deliberate Dysfunction and the Battle to Preserve Democracy

Shameless

«No puedo menos que felicitar a Solares por haberme hecho legible y soportable este delirio y además por sugerir la posibilidad de que estas formas y estasimágenes tremendas tengan un mensaje simbólico ulterior.» -Salvador Elizondo, Unomasuno Descrito por primera vez en el año de 1813, el delirium tremens nunca había sido abordado desde un horizonte literario y descriptivo, tal como lo ha hecho Ignacio Solares —con indudable originalidad y talento— en esta obra. El delirium tremens es un conjunto de síntomas que se desarrollan en el alcohólico crónico después de la interrupción brusca de una ingestión prolongada e intensa de bebidas embriagantes. Las alucinaciones visuales son quizá el síntoma más dramático de este cuadro, y es justamente esa esfera sensoperceptiva alterada del alcohólico la puerta de entrada por la que Solares se introduce. El reto: aventurarse en la profundidad del sujeto y contemplar cómo la experiencia alucinatoria puede cambiar su trayectoria existencial -Del prólogo del Dr. José Antonio Elizondo López, creador y excoordinador del Programa de Rehabilitación de Alcohólicos del Hospital Psiquiátrico del IMSS ENGLISH DESCRIPTION “I can’t help but congratulate Solares for making this delirium readable and bearable for me, and for suggesting the possibility that these tremendous forms and images carry a deeper symbolic message.” –Salvador Elizondo, Unomasuno First described in 1813, delirium tremens had never before been explored from such a literary and descriptive perspective as it is here by Ignacio Solares—with undeniable originality and talent. Delirium tremens is a set of symptoms that develop in a chronic alcoholic after the abrupt interruption of a prolonged and intense intake of alcohol. The visual hallucinations are perhaps the most dramatic symptom of this condition, and it is precisely through that altered sensory-perceptual sphere of the alcoholic that Solares enters. The challenge: to venture into the depths of the self and observe how the hallucinatory experience can alter a person’s existential path. –From the prologue by Dr. José Antonio Elizondo López, creator and former coordinator of the Alcohol Rehabilitation Program at the IMSS Psychiatric Hospital

DELIRIUM TREMENS (Spanish Edition)

Helen Frankenthaler: The Moment and the Distance documents an exhibition of the artist’s large-scale paintings made between 1960 and 1992. This catalogue documents an exhibition of large-scale paintings by Helen Frankenthaler made between 1960 and 1992, opening in spring 2026 at Gagosian’s West 21st Street gallery. Throughout her career, Frankenthaler pushed beyond the boundaries of easel painting to create extraordinary, monumental works, some of which occupied the entire expanse of her studio floor. This exhibition explores the artist’s use of scale across four decades of painting. The title is derived from a 1975 review by poet and critic Barbara Guest, where she remarks on Frankenthaler’s “astonishing combination of freedom with restraint, extravagance with discipline, suggestion and definition,” concluding, “the moment becomes the distance.” The book includes a new essay by art historian Ara H. Merjian that discusses the works in the show in the context of Frankenthaler’s Surrealist and Abstract Expressionist influences. Helen Frankenthaler (1928–2011) has long been recognized as one of the great American artists of the twentieth century. A member of the second generation of New York-based postwar abstract painters, she is widely credited with expanding the possibilities of abstraction through her invention of the soak-stain technique, and her highly personal references to figuration and landscape.

"Gerard Fulmard is a loser. A disgraced former flight attendant, he attempts the metier of private detective, with spectacularly disastrous results, then begins working for an obscure political groupuscule beset by an outsized share of infighting and backroom maneuvering. At first employed as an enforcer, Fulmard is then coopted by one of the party's less savory factions, sinking in deeper and deeper until he finds himself the reluctant assassin of the party's own leader--and that's when things really start going downhill"--

The definitive illustrated monograph of trailblazing British artist, queer icon, and pioneer Maggi Hambling, on the occasion of her eightieth birthday. Featuring an exceptional range of reproductions of Maggi Hambling’s work, including unique archival materials, this authoritative and visually stunning new volume offers the most comprehensive account of Hambling’s oeuvre to date. Essays by leading critics, curators, and art historians trace Hambling’s formative period from her time at the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing in the early 1960s, to her rise to fame in the ’80s, the centrality of drawing to her eclectic practice, and the virtuoso series of paintings that have defined her output in recent decades. Hambling’s work and legacy are explored in vivid detail here, emphasizing her importance to British art over the past half century, as well as her singular place in the global sphere of contemporary art. Love, death, and remembrance are revealed as her enduring themes, and are reflected in her intimate portraits as much as her epic-scaled evocations of war, the climate emergency, and the natural world. Shining a light on Hambling’s fearless spirit, this tour-de-force publication takes you deep into the heart and mind of one of the most influential and provocative artists of her generation.

Considered one of the best baseball novels of all time, this black comedy about a discontented businessman's obsession with a fantasy baseball league of his own creation is "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" meets William Gaddis meets John Updike's Rabbit, Run. Somewhere in a "major-league" American city, there lives a man named J. Henry Waugh—no-account accountant, barfly, and country music fan. The most important part of Waugh's life, as far as he is concerned, is lived in his head, where he is sole proprietor of the Universal Baseball Association, which is now entering its fifty-sixth season. The games are played with dice and scorecards, and the players are just numbers and names, but for Waugh they're more real than the dreary office, the dive bar, and the dingy apartment in which he spends his days. Still, being sole proprietor is a lonely business, and when a few rolls of the dice spell tragedy for the rookie pitcher Damon Rutherford—a player Waugh believes will reinvigorate the game—the whole association is imperiled, along with the sanity of its isolated creator. Robert Coover's fiction was a map of America, and The Universal Baseball Association is smack-dab in the center of it. Baseball, in Waugh's world, is an escape, and Waugh is nothing if not an all-American escapist with a capacity for denial so profound that it can only be called optimism.

A handsome new volume devoted to the most important works by Manet, a pivotal figure in Impressionism and widely considered the first of the modern artists. With over 100 seminal paintings, this book celebrates the artist who bridged the transition from Realism to Impressionism and is seen as giving rise to Modernism. Combining painterly technique with strikingly modern images of contemporary life, much of Manet’s work documented daily life in Paris, depicting scenes ranging from the recently built boulevards with their sidewalk cafes, industrial marvels such as the railways, and pleasure grounds ranging from newly landscaped parks to horse racing. He also painted provocative scenes of the demimonde in popular bars and cabarets. Included here are popular and iconic works such as Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe,&nbsp;with its shocking juxtaposition of a nude woman amid fully dressed men, and Olympia, Manet’s modern reworking of Titian’s Venus of Urbino that Parisian society initially rejected as scandalous. Little has been published on Manet recently, so this comprehensive survey is long overdue. His bold style, muscular brushwork, frank subject matter, and compositions that pushed boundaries and confronted societal norms continue to influence and inspire today’s young artists.

Italien ohne Pasta, Wien ohne Mehlspeis, Böhmen ohne knedlík, Zuckerbäckerei ohne Zuckerbäckerstil: Nach 'Vom Essen zwischen den Kriegen' öffnet Walter Schübler ein weiteres Mal sein kulinarisches Archiv. In seinem neuen Buch widmet er sich den zentraleuropäischen Nationalküchen und ihren größten Kritikern: Adolf Loos, der leidenschaftlich über die Wiener Küche und das Mehlspeisg'frieß wetterte, der Pasta-Schmäher Filippo Tommaso Marinetti mit seinem Manifest zur Revolutionierung der italienischen Küche, der tschechoslowakische Gesundheitsminister Ladislav Procházka, der seinem Volk die böhmische Küche austreiben wollte, und der deutsche Konditor Bernhard Lambrecht, unter den Zeitgenossen besser bekannt als 'Lenin der Tortenwelt'. Sie alle rüttelten in den 1920er-Jahren selbstbewusst und medienwirksam am kulinarischen Selbstverständnis ihre Länder.
