Francia y la poesía fueron los primeros grandes amores de Stefan Zweig, que dedicó una buena parte de su obra a sacar de su «aparente oscuridad» a los genios de la creación y contagiar así sus pasiones a los lectores. A petición de la editorial berlinesa Schuster & Loeffler, el joven escritor compuso esta breve monografía sobre Paul Verlaine, su primer ensayo biográfico. Esta pequeña joya publicada en 1 9 0 5, que incluye traducciones de algunos de los poemas más emblemáticos del poeta, inauguró en la carrera de Zweig un género literario en el que desplegaría todo su talento y sensibilidad.

Story5 out of 5 stars 1
En este lúcido ensayo, el erudito ensayista francés analiza la obra de Élisabeth Louise Vigee Le Brun, una de las pintoras más brillantes e ignoradas de las últimas decadas prerrevolucionarias en Francia. Retratista magistral "capaz de conjugar el parecido fiel con la idealización im- palpable", Vigee Le Brun fue la aliada a la que escogió María Antonieta para ofrecer una imagen humana y digna de ese mundus muliebris que ella representaba y que, supuestamente, corrompía el prestigio y la autoridad de los monarcas a fuerza de afeminarlos.

Toño Azpilcueta pasa sus días entre su trabajo en un colegio, su familia y su gran pasión, la música criolla, sobre la que lleva investigando desde su juventud. Un día, una llamada le cambia la vida. Una invitación para ir a escuchar a un guitarrista desconocido, Lalo Molfino, personaje del que nadie sabe demasiado pero de gran talento, parece confirmar todas sus intuiciones: el amor profundo que siente por los valses, marineras, polkas y huainos peruanos tiene una razón más allá del placer de escucharlos (o bailarlos).

Reunir los cuentos de Franz Kafka (1883-1924) significa ofrecer en un solo volumen toda la ficción breve del autor, tanto la publicada en vida como todos los relatos dispersos que fueron publicados de manera póstuma, incluyendo La transformación, Un médico rural o Descripción de una lucha, su primer cuento escrito. Kafka es una de una de las mentes más singulares del siglo xx y una de las "formas de estar en la literatura" que más han influido en generaciones posteriores. Incluso, como hay quien se atreve a aventurar, en sus precursores.

En un futuro inquietante y dominado por clones que parecen haber pagado la inmortalidad con la pérdida de la capacidad de reír y de experimentar emociones auténticas, dos misteriosos personajes, Daniel24 y Daniel25, encuentran los diarios de su «original», Daniel1, famoso por sus monólogos cáusticos en los que mezcla la provocación con una visión fría y cruel de la existencia. A través de la lectura de estos diarios, Daniel25 conocerá los últimos años de la vida de Daniel1, y el descubrimiento de su dolor le llevará a poner en riesgo el sueño de la inmortalidad de sus creadores.

Estos tres ensayos nacen de una ininterrumpida, apasionante y apasionada relación con Tirant lo Blanc. El primero aborda la idea de la novela total, anunciada quinientos años antes en este libro de caballerías: «Es la novela total. Novela de caballerías fantástica, histórica, social, erótica, psicológica: todas esas cosas a la vez y ninguna de ellas exclusivamente». El segundo ofrece una imagen más personal de Joan Martorell a través de sus cartas. El tercero defiende la importancia de «las palabras» en la obra.

Stefan Zweig dedicó este trabajo en gran parte biográfico al fundador del psicoanálisis, Sigmund Freud. Stefan Zweig logra poner la contribución científica de Freud bajo la luz adecuada y apreciarla adecuadamente, incluso teniendo en cuenta algunas debilidades. El logro real de Freud está, por lo tanto, menos en los detalles científicos que mucho más en la multitud de sus contribuciones con las que posibilitó e inspiró el pensamiento, el replanteamiento y la investigación de muchos de sus seguidores.

Un deslumbrante estudio biográfico del mayor filósofo alemán del siglo XIX por uno de los autores de habla alemana más leídos del siglo XX. En esta vívida y elocuente biografía, Zweig evita en gran medida el discurso académico tradicional sobre la obra del filósofo, concentrándose por completo en Nietzsche como persona, sus hábitos, sus pasiones y sus obsesiones. Stefan Zweig describe la tragedia de la existencia de Nietzsche, su aislamiento del mundo, en el aislamiento autoimpuesto, de una manera extremadamente poderosa e impresionante.

La década de 1933 a 1943 marcó el capítulo más triste de la Europa moderna. En medio del horror, Simone de Beauvoir, Simone Weil, Ayn Rand y Hannah Arendt, cuatro de las figuras más influyentes del siglo XX, mostraron lo que significa llevar una vida verdaderamente emancipada y, al mismo tiempo, desarrollaron sus ideas visionarias sobre la relación entre el individuo y la sociedad, el hombre y la mujer, el sexo y el género, la libertad y el totalitarismo y Dios y la humanidad.
By: Wolfram Eilenberger, and others
Publisher's summary
Este libro, escrito con la elegancia característica de su autor, y cuya gestación se extiende desde 1909 hasta 1940, gira de un modo u otro en torno a la idea de Europa y de la civilización en general.

World War II is the defining conflict of the 20th century, one that created a line in the sands of history dividing the pre-war and post-war eras. In this epoch-defining conflict lies another definitive moment: the invasion of a 50-mile stretch of coast in Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944. This battle, also known as D-Day, was the pivot point of the war in Europe. Its success led to a nearly yearlong, bloody campaign that saw the liberation of France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands, followed by the final defeat of Hitler’s Third Reich.

In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

The history of the tablets translated in the following book is strange and beyond the belief of modern scientists. Their antiquity is stupendous, dating back some 36,000 years. The writer is Thoth, an Atlantean Priest-King, who founded a colony in ancient Egypt after the sinking of the mother country. He was the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza, erroneously attributed to Cheops. In it he incorporated his knowledge of the ancient wisdom and also securely secreted records and instruments of ancient Atlantis.

One of the last cavalry units to ride horses into battle, the Sherwood Rangers were transformed into a “mechanized cavalry” of tanks in 1942. After winning acclaim in the North African campaign, they spearheaded one of the D-Day landings in Normandy and became the first British troops to cross into Germany. Their courage, skill, and tenacity contributed mightily to the surrender of Germany in 1945.

In Made in America, Bryson de-mythologizes his native land, explaining how a dusty hamlet with neither woods nor holly became Hollywood, how the Wild West wasn't won, why Americans say 'lootenant' and 'Toosday', how Americans were eating junk food long before the word itself was cooked up, as well as exposing the true origins of the G-string, the original $64,000 question, and Dr Kellogg of cornflakes fame.

A good book may have the power to change the way we see the world, but a great book actually becomes part of our daily consciousness, pervading our thinking to the point that we take it for granted, and we forget how provocative and challenging its ideas once were - and still are. The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is that kind of book.
