Libro: The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas (978-0-14-313503-6) de Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis (Penguin Publishing Group ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. "One of the wittiest, most playful, and . . . most alive and ageless books ever written." --Dave Eggers, The New Yorker A revelatory new translation of the playful, incomparable masterpiece of one of the greatest Black authors in the Americas A Penguin Classic The mixed-race grandson of ex-slaves, Machado de Assis is not only Brazil's most celebrated writer but also a writer of world stature, who has been championed by the likes of Philip Roth, Susan Sontag, Allen Ginsberg, John Updike, and Salman Rushdie. In his masterpiece, the 1881 novel The Posthumous Memoirs of Brs Cubas (translated also as Epitaph of a Small Winner ), the ghost of a decadent and disagreeable aristocrat decides to write his memoir. He dedicates it to the worms gnawing at his corpse and tells of his failed romances and halfhearted political ambitions, serves up harebrained philosophies, and complains with gusto from the depths of his grave. Wildly imaginative, wickedly witty, and ahead of its time, the novel has been compared to the work of everyone from Cervantes to Sterne to Joyce to Nabokov to Borges to Calvino, and has influenced generations of writers around the world. This new English translation is the first to include extensive notes providing crucial historical and cultural context. Unlike other editions, it also preserves Machado's original chapter breaks--each of the novel's 160 short chapters begins on a new page--and includes excerpts from previous versions of the novel never before published in English. For more than seventy-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 2,000 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators. 0

Libro: Awe (978-1-80206-116-1) de Dacher Keltner (Penguin Publishing Group ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. "From professor of psychology at U. C. Berkeley and one of the foremost experts on the science of emotions comes a groundbreaking and essential exploration into the history, science, and understanding of awe, and a guide for how we might all cultivate a deeper sense of awe and transform our lives and our world Awe, one of the most elusive emotions, is hard to pin down. How do we begin to measure the goosebumps we feel when we first see the Grand Canyon, or the utter amazement when we watch a child walk for the first time? How do you put into words the collective effervescence of standing in a crowd and singing in unison, or the wonder you feel while gazing at centuries-old works of art? Up until fifteen years ago, we didn't know how to measure awe, the feeling we get when encountering vast mysteries that transcend our understanding of the world. Scientists were studying emotions like fear and disgust, emotions that seemed essential to how the human race endures. But recently, we've come to realize that through the span of evolution, we meet our most basic needs socially. We survive thanks to our capacities to cooperate, form communities, and create culture that strengthen our sense of shared identity - actions that are sparked and spurred by awe. In AWE, Dacher Keltner, one of the leading experts on the science of emotions, presents a radical investigation and deeply personal inquiry into awe. Revealing new research into how awe transforms our brains and bodies, alongside an examination of awe across history, culture, and within his own life, Keltner shows us how awe leads us to appreciate what is most humane in our human nature. And during a moment in which our world feels more divided than ever before, we need a story of awe, an invitation to cultivate awe in our everyday life as an antidote. If we open our minds, it is awe that sharpens our reasoning and orients us towards big ideas and new insights, that cools our immune system's inflammation response and strengthens our bodies. It is awe that activates our inclination to share and create strong networks, to take actions that are good for the world around us. It is awe that transforms who we are, that inspires the creation of art, music, and religion. At turns radical and profound, brimming with enlightening and practical insights into the power of awe, AWE is both an invitation and a field guide, from not only one of the leading voices on the subject, but a fellow seeker of awe in his own right, to place awe as a vital force within our lives."--Provided by publisher. 0

Libro: The Sun Also Rises: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) (978-0-14-313677-4) de Hemingway, Ernest (Penguin Publishing Group ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. Hemingway'sclassic novel of post-war disillusionment-the emblematic novel of the Lost Generation-now available for the first time from Penguin Classics, in a beautiful Graphic Deluxe Edition featuring flaps, deckled edges, and specially commissioned cover art by R. Kikuo Johnson and a new introduction by Amor Towles, the multimillion-copy bestselling author of The Lincoln Highway, A Gentleman in Moscow, and Rules of Civility A Penguin Classics Graphic Deluxe Edition,with flaps and deckle-edged paper It's the early 1920s in Paris, and Jake, a wounded World War I veteran working as a journalist, is hopelessly in love with charismatic British socialite Lady Brett Ashley. Brett, however, settles for no one: an independent, liberated divorce, all she wants out of life is a good time. When Jake, Brett, and a crew of their fellow expatriate friends travel to Spain to watch the bullfights, both passions and tensions rise. Amid the flash and revelry of the fiesta, each of the men vies to make Brett his own, until Brett's flirtation with a confident young bullfighter ignites jealousies that set their group alight. An indelible portrait of what Gertrude Stein called the Lost Generation-the jaded, decadent youth who gave up trying to make sense of a senseless world in the disaffected postwar era- The Sun Also Rises, Ernest Hemingway's beloved first novel, is a masterpiece of modernist literature and one of the finest examples of the distinctly spare prose that would become his legacy to American letters. 0

Libro: The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket (978-0-14-043748-5) de Poe, Edgar Allan (Penguin Publishing Group ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. Poe found the germ of the story he would develop into ARTHUR GORDON PYM in 1836 in a newspaper account of the shipwreck and subsequent rescue of the two men on board. Published in 1838, this rousing sea adventure follows New England boy, Pym, who stows away on a whaling ship with its captain's son, Augustus. The two boys repeatedly find themselves on the brink of death or discovery and witness many terrifying events, including mutiny, cannibalism, and frantic pursuits. Poe imbued this deliberately popular tale with such allegorical richness, biblical imagery, and psychological insights that the tale has come to influence writers as various as Melville, James, Verne and Nabokov.

The instant New York Times bestseller By the acclaimed author of In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts , agroundbreaking investigation into the causes of illness, a bracingcritique of how our society breeds disease, and a pathway to healthand healing. In this revolutionary book,renowned physician Gabor Mat eloquently dissects how in Western countries that pride themselves on their healthcare systems, chronic illness and general ill health are on the rise.Nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescriptiondrug; more than half take two. In Canada, every fifth person has high bloodpressure. In Europe, hypertension is diagnosed in more than 30 percent of thepopulation. And everywhere, adolescent mental illness ison the rise. So what is really normal when it comes to health? Over four decades of clinical experience,Mat has come to recognize the prevailing understanding of normal as false, neglecting the roles that trauma and stress, and the pressures of modern-day living, exert on our bodies and our minds at the expense ofgood health. For all our expertise and technological sophistication, Western medicine often fails to treat the whole person, ignoring how todays culture stresses the body, burdens theimmune system, and undermines emotional balance. Now Mat brings his perspective to the great untangling of common myths about what makes us sick, connects thedots between the maladies of individuals and the declining soundness ofsocietyand offers a compassionate guide for health and healing. Cowritten with his son Daniel, The Myth Of Normal is Mats most ambitious and urgent book yet. 0

Libro: Grundrisse (978-0-14-044575-6) de Marx, Karl (Penguin Publishing Group ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. Written during the winter of 1857-8, the Grundrisse was considered by Marx to be the first scientific elaboration of communist theory. A collection of seven notebooks on capital and money, it both develops the arguments outlined in the Communist Manifesto (1848) and explores the themes and theses that were to dominate his great later work Capital. Here, for the first time, Marx set out his own version of Hegel's dialectics and developed his mature views on labour, surplus value and profit, offering many fresh insights into alienation, automation and the dangers of capitalist society. Yet while the theories in Grundrisse make it a vital precursor to Capital, it also provides invaluable descriptions of Marx's wider-ranging philosophy, making it a unique insight into his beliefs and hopes for the foundation of a communist state.

Everything seems different but some constants remain: her old enemies are still two steps ahead, bent on her destruction.She makes her way to the Convent of Sweet Mercy, where nuns train young girls who show the old gifts, but like the Corridor itself the convent is packed with peril and opportunity. Yaz has much to learn from the nunsif they dont decide to execute her. The fate of everyone squeezed between the Corridors vast walls, and ultimately the fate of those laboring to survive out on ice itself, hangs from the moon, and the battle to save the moon centers on the Ark of the Missing, buried beneath the emperors palace. Everyone wants Yaz to be the key that will open the Ark the one the wise have sought for generations. But sometimes wanting isnt enough. 0

Libro: The Lyrics (978-1-80206-422-3) de McCartney, Paul (Penguin Publishing Group ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. The Sunday Times bestseller and Waterstones Book of the Year, now in paperback 'Paul McCartney says this is as close as he will get to an autobiography and no wonder - his life is in every line of these songs ... pure joy' Sunday Times , Book of the Year With seven songs added for this edition: 'Bluebird,' 'Day Tripper,' 'English Tea,' 'Every Night,' 'Hello, Goodbye,' 'Magical Mystery Tour' and 'Step Inside Love' Spanning seven decades - from his early Liverpool days, through the historic decade of The Beatles, to Wings and his long solo career - Paul McCartney's The Lyrics has transformed the way artists write about music, pairing the definitive texts of 161 songs with intimate, autobiographical commentaries on McCartney's life and music. Arranged alphabetically, these commentaries reveal the diverse circumstances in which the songs were written, how they ultimately came to be, and the remarkable - often ordinary - people and places that inspired them. Dozens of vignettes re-create the working-class Liverpool of McCartney's youth, where delivery boys ran parcels on docks, as in 'On My Way to Work,' and elderly ladies in the neighbourhood inspired 'Eleanor Rigby.' McCartney also introduces us to his early literary influences, among them Shakespeare, Lewis Carroll and Allen Ginsberg, as well as Alan Durband, his beloved English teacher, and his mother, Mary, who passed away when he was just fourteen - and whose memory has infused his work ever since. Yet the two most powerful presences in The Lyrics after the author himself are his songwriting partner, John Lennon, and his 'Golden Earth Girl,' Linda Eastman McCartney. Here McCartney describes how he met John at a church fte in 1957; their adventures with George Harrison and Ringo Starr in the early 1960s; and how, at the end of the decade, they, and The Beatles, broke up. Thus began a second act of now more than fifty years, with Linda and family life as driving forces - inspiring songs from 'Maybe I'm Amazed,' written just after the breakup of The Beatles, to the 2012 ballad 'My Valentine,' addressed to McCartney's wife and partner, Nancy Shevell McCartney. Edited and introduced by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon, and enhanced by more than a hundred images from McCartney's personal archives - including handwritten texts, mementos, and photographs - and seven new song commentaries, The Lyrics is a book for the ages, and the definitive literary and visual record of one of the greatest songwriters of all time. 0

Paulson, Jr. (Penguin Publishing Group ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés ..

In 2018, Ben Bernanke, Tim Geithner, and Hank Paulson came together to reflect on the lessons of the 2008 financial crisis ten years on. Recognizing that, as Ben put it, "the enemy is forgetting," they examine the causes of the crisis, why it was so damaging, and what it ultimately took to prevent a second Great Depression. And they provide to their successors in the United States and the finance ministers and central bank governors of other countries a valuable playbook for reducing the damage from future financial crises. Firefighting provides a candid and powerful account of the choices they and their teams made during the crisis, working under two presidents and with the leaders of Congress. 0

BESTSELLER INTERNACIONAL Qu separa a los futuros triunfadores de los dems? Una simple decisin que cambi sus vidas Arthur es un chofer que puede completar el crucigrama del New York Times en treinta minutos, analizar la economa de Amrica Latina en media hora y calcular mentalmente cifras con ms rapidez que la mayora de las personas pueden hacerlo con una calculadora. Jonathan es tan inteligente como Arthur, es tan trabajador como l y tiene cientos de millones de dlares. Entonces, por qu Jonathan est sentado en el asiento trasero de la limusina y Arthur es el chofer? Qu separa sus niveles de xito? Qu explica la diferencia entre triunfo y fracaso? Y qu significa eso para ti y para tus hijos? La respuesta reside en un crucial estudio de la Universidad de Stanford. Se dej solos un grupo de nios en un habitacin, cada uno con un marshmallow, y se les dijo que podan escoger comrselo enseguida o al cabo de quince minutos, per a los que esperaran se les recompensara con un marshmallow adicional. Algunos se comieron su marshmallow al instante. Otros esperaron. Pero la verdadera importancia del estudio se revel quince aos ms tarde, cuando los investigadores descubrieron que los nios que esperaron para obtener la recompensa se haban convertido en adultos ms exitosos que los nios que haban engullido sus marshmallows inmediatamente. Joachim de Posada, un reconocido orador motivacional que ha hablado antes miles de empresarios, ejecutivos y atletas profesionales en todo el mundo, tom muy en cuenta esta leccin. La teora del marshmallow dio respuesta a un bsqueda de treinta aos para encontrar una explicacin convincente de por qu algunas personas triunfan y otras fracasan. De Posada estaba convencido de que la diferencia clave entre el xito y el fracaso no reside tan slo en el esfuerzo personal ni en una inteligencia superior, sino en la habilidad de demorar la recompensa. Aquellos que son capaces de no comerse el marshmallow enseguida, logran niveles superiores de xito, mientras que el resto de nosotros, como quien dice, no podemos resistir comernos nuestros marshmallows al instanteacumulando deudas e insatisfaccin, no importa cules sean nuestras ocupaciones e ingresos. Pero no tiene por qu ser as. Mediante el uso de una sencilla parbola y ejemplos de la vida real (entre ellos el de legendario jugador de baloncesto Larry Bird y el de Jorge Posada, primo de Joachim, receptor del equipo Yankees de Nueva York), este libro, capaz de cambiar tu vida, te muestra cmo los pasos que das hoy pueden recompensarte en grande maanaslo si no te comes el marshmallowtodava! 0
