"La prodigiosa máquina que aún no aciertan á comprender"

técnica, industria temprana y experiencias del tiempo. Colombia, 1880-1904

Clásicos Hispánicos

La idea del comportamiento civilizado en la Edad Media y Moderna estaba íntimamente relacionada con la representación de la mujer como modelo de la virtud. El refinamiento, la piedad y templanza que mostraban las damas virtuosas en el interior de los palacios serían ejemplos para los hombres con modales rudos adquiridos en los campos de batalla, o los entornos de la sociabilidad masculina. La virtud parece ser mujer, y el vicio hombre, afirmaba con ingenio la dama Emilia Pía en el libro El Cortesano de Castiglione.

La definición de las cualidades típicamente femeninas, y cómo estas se expresaban en la práctica, sin embargo, variaba conforme al papel que se atribuía a la mujer en la sociedad, y según la época. En este libro destacados especialistas analizan la virtud femenina desde los campos de la historia, la literatura y la filosofía, y la contrastan con la representación misógina de la mujer como disoluta y pérfida, igualmente omnipresente en la época. Pasan revista a damas nobles, damas de corte, poetas, monjas, reinas, embajadoras, y se analizan textos literarios y otras fuentes desde los tiempos de los trovadores hasta la Ilustración y el ocaso del Antiguo Régimen, con el fin de estudiar como los diferentes modelos de virtud favorecieron y restringieron la actuación de las mujeres en la sociedad en aquellos tiempos.

La virtud es mujer : la dimensión femenina en la práctica y la teoría moral de la época medieval y moderna

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A coming-of-age comedy. A telenovela-worthy drama. A moving family saga. All in a phone call you won’t want to hang up on. “A portrait of love, heartache, and hilarity that transcends its medium.”—Elle “Brilliant . . . Melissa Mogollon did not come to play.”—Kiley Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Such a Fun Age LONGLISTED FOR THE CENTER FOR FICTION FIRST NOVEL PRIZE This Random House Book Club edition includes an author’s note, a playlist, and a discussion guide. “Yes, hi, Mari. It’s me. I’m over my tantrum now and calling you back . . . But first—you have to promise that you won’t tell Mom or Abue any of this. Okay? They’ll set the house on fire if they find out . . .” Structured as a series of one-sided phone calls from our spunky, sarcastic narrator, Luciana, to her older sister, Mari, this wildly inventive debut “jump-starts your heart in the same way it piques your ear” (Xochitl Gonzalez). As the baby of her large Colombian American family, Luciana is usually relegated to the sidelines. But now she finds herself as the only voice of reason in the face of an unexpected crisis: A hurricane is heading straight for Miami, and her eccentric grandmother, Abue, is refusing to evacuate. Abue is so one-of-a-kind she’s basically in her own universe, and while she often drives Luciana nuts, they’re the only ones who truly understand each other. So when Abue, normally glamorous and full of life, receives a shocking medical diagnosis during the storm, Luciana’s world is upended. When Abue moves into Luciana’s bedroom, their complicated bond intensifies. Luciana would rather be skating or sneaking out to meet girls, but Abue’s wild demands and unpredictable antics are a welcome distraction for Luciana from her misguided mother, absent sister, and uncertain future. Forced to step into the role of caretaker, translator, and keeper of the devastating family secrets that Abue begins to share, Luciana suddenly finds herself center stage, facing down adulthood—and rising to the occasion. As Luciana chronicles the events of her disrupted senior year of high school over the phone to Mari, Oye unfolds like the most fascinating and entertaining conversation you’ve ever eavesdropped on: a rollicking, heartfelt, and utterly unique novel that celebrates the beauty revealed and resilience required when rewriting your own story.

A Guide to the World's 500 Most Spooky and Macabre Places

The Goth Atlas

An Independent, Financial Times, and Irish Times Book of the Year! A couple's search for a rural paradise on the Caribbean coast takes a sinister turn in this darkly ironic modern classic. When J. and Elena swap the parties and culture of the city for a simpler life on Colombia's remote Caribbean coast, they expect to find an Eden to call their own. Their plan is to lead the good life, self-sufficient and close to nature. But from the very start, each day brings small defeats and imperceptible dramas, which gradually turn paradise into hell... A satire of hippyism, ecological fantasies, and of the very idea that man can control fate, In the Beginning Was the Sea is a searingly ironic account of man's confrontation with nature and with himself. In amongst the mango groves, the young couple's surroundings inexorably claim back every inch of the 'civilisation' they brought with them, leaving them to question how they will survive in this new environment when they themselves remain unchanged. And, as their relationship breaks down--and the horror unfolds--who can they count on if not each other? Based on a true story, In the Beginning Was the Sea is a menacing, darkly funny tale of human weakness, the terrifying power of nature, and what happens when our dreams meet their fateful reality.

“Schlink knows how to tell a gripping yarn . . . [The Granddaughter] is a rewarding and wonderfully readable novel.” —The Guardian“A brilliant dissection of a fragmented nation in which a glimmer of hope relieves a somber but wholly memorable tale.” —Kirkus (starred review)From the bestselling author of The Reader, a striking exploration of the past, told through the story of a German bookseller’s attempt to connect with his radicalized granddaughter.It is only after the sudden death of his wife, Birgit, that Kaspar discovers the price she paid years earlier when she fled East Germany to join him: she had to abandon her baby. Shattered by grief, yet animated by a new hope, Kaspar closes up his bookshop in present day Berlin and sets off to find her lost child in the east.His search leads him to a rural community of neo-Nazis, intent on reclaiming and settling ancestral lands to the East. Among them, Kaspar encounters Svenja, a woman whose eyes, hair, and even voice remind him of Birgit. Beside her is a red-haired, slouching, fifteen-year-old girl. His granddaughter? Their worlds could not be more different— an ideological gulf of mistrust yawns between them— but he is determined to accept her as his own.More than twenty-five years after The Reader, Bernhard Schlink once again offers a masterfully gripping novel that powerfully probes the past’s role in contemporary life, transporting us from the divided Germany of the 1960s to modern day Australia, and asking what unites or separates us.Translated from the German by Charlotte Collins
