Segunda edición de esta obra que popone un juego: recorrer Madrid, pasear por sus calles y plazas, deteniéndose a contemplar las escenas que en ellas se desarrollan, las personas que por ellas transitan, las fachadas de los edificios que las configuran y, después, entornando los ojos, buscar las líneas invisibles que definen el escenario, el rastro de los personajes y las construcciones que el tiempo ha borrado de la superficie de la ciudad, aunque no de su historia. Es el juego que este libro propone. A través de treinta y seis capítulos, el lector recorrerá los caminos y las glorietas que, al evolucionar, han generado el carácter y la fisonomía del Madrid de nuestro siglo. Cada capítulo consta de dos elementos: un relato de ficción, en el que se pintan los rostros y las voces que expresan la multiplicidad humana de la ciudad actual; y una reseña histórica del lugar y su entorno. Dos perspectivas urbanas que se complementan y se justifican en su relación: el Madrid de hoy se sustenta en el Madrid de ayer, los relatos del presente conducen a la leyenda, la anécdota, la crónica de una historia que cumple ya doce siglos.

Sobre Mariano José de Larra y su obra existe una amplia bibliografía, pero no muchos libros se han preocupado de analizar el entorno en el que vivió el primer escritor moderno de la historia literaria española. Salvo un par de ausencias, la mayor parte de la vida de Fígaro transcurrió en Madrid. Quien quiera entender en profundidad la obra de Larra ha de conocer el pulso de la vida madrileña de aquel momento: las calles y los paseos por los que anduvo el escritor, los periódicos para los que trabajó, los teatros a los que asistió, los cafés que frecuentó y las corridas de toros que seguramente evitó, pero, sobre todo, el paisanaje con el que convivió. Los artículos de Mariano José de Larra miran al Madrid del momento con una mezcla de amargura y esperanza. Este libro aspira a que el lector moderno sea capaz de contemplar aquel Madrid con una mirada lo más aproximada posible a la de Fígaro.

'A cult figure.' Guardian 'A dark and brilliant achievement.' Ian McEwan 'Shamelessly clever ... Exhilaratingly subversive and funny.' Independent 'A modern classic ... As relevant now as when it was first published. ' John Banville A young woman is in love with a successful surgeon; a man torn between his love for her and his womanising. His mistress, a free-spirited artist, lives her life as a series of betrayals; while her other lover stands to lose everything because of his noble qualities. In a world where lives are shaped by choices and events, and everything occurs but once, existence seems to lose its substance and weight - and we feel 'the unbearable lightness of being'. The Unbearable Lightness of Being encompasses passion and philosophy, infidelity and ideas, the Prague Spring and modern America, political acts and private desires, comedy and tragedy - in fact, all of human existence. What readers are saying: 'Some books change your mind, some change your heart, the very best change your whole world ... A mighty piece of work, that will shape your life forever.' 'One of the best books I've ever read ... A book about love and life, full of surprises. Beautiful.' 'This book is going to change your life ... It definitely leaves you with a hangover after you're done reading.' 'A must read - loved it, such beautiful observations on life, love and sexuality.' 'Kundera writes about love as if in a trance so the beauty of it is enchanting and dreamy ... Will stay with you forever.' 'A beautiful novel that helps you understand life better ... Loved it.' 'One of those rare novels full of depth and insight into the human condition ... Got me reading Camus and Sartre.' 'One of the best books I have ever read ... An intellectual love story if ever there was one.'

Why do people work hard, and take pride in what they do? This book, a philosophically-minded enquiry into practical activity of many different kinds past and present, is about what happens when people try to do a good job. It asks us to think about the true meaning of skill in the 'skills society' and argues that pure competition is a poor way to achieve quality work. Sennett suggests, instead, that there is a craftsman in every human being, which can sometimes be enormously motivating and inspiring - and can also in other circumstances make individuals obsessive and frustrated. The Craftsman shows how history has drawn fault-lines between craftsman and artist, maker and user, technique and expression, practice and theory, and that individuals' pride in their work, as well as modern society in general, suffers from these historical divisions. But the past lives of crafts and craftsmen show us ways of working (using tools, acquiring skills, thinking about materials) which provide rewarding alternative ways for people to utilise their talents. We need to recognise this if motivations are to be understood and lives made as fulfilling as possible.

"In 1916, New York City enacted zoning laws that mandated the building of 'set-back' structures so that light and air would be more freely admitted into the streets below. This concept was first proposed by Louis Sullivan in his 1891 article, 'The high-building question' (inspired by William Le Baron Jenney's recently completed Manhattan building in Chicago). Hugh Ferriss (1889-1962), American draftsman and architect, studies architecture at Washington University in St. Louis where the Beaux Arts school was favored. Early in his career he worked as a draftsman in the office of Cass Gilbert until he became a freelance delineator. In 1922, Ferris took part in a series of zoning envelope studies that sought to comply with the earlier city legislation. Such were the key ingredients that gave rise to [this book]. In [this book], 59 stunning illustrations depict towering structures, personal space, wide avenues, and rooftop parks - features that now exist in many innovative, densely populated urban landscapes. Ferriss uses metaphors from nature that lend his text a poetic quality. It is no wonder that the work inspired critics of the time to remark: 'As a creative entity, as a symbol of the American spirit, it is superb' ('Survey'); and as 'magically stirring as a prophecy' (Albert Guerard in 'Books'). With its eloquent commentary and powerful renderings, [this book] is an indispensable resource for students, architects, and anyone else with an interest in American architecture"--Back cover.

Growing up amid brutality and fear, Tété found solace in the traditional rhythms of African drums and the mysteries of voodoo. Her life changes when twenty-year-old Toulouse Valmorain arrives on the island in 1770 to run his father’s plantation, Saint Lazare. Overwhelmed by the challenges of his responsibilities and trapped in a painful marriage, Valmorain turns to his teenaged slave Tété, who becomes his most important confidant. The indelible bond they share will connect them across four tumultuous decades and ultimately define their lives.
