Hardback. Condizione: Good. Andrea Chapela, one of Granta?s Best Young Spanish-Language Novelists of 2021, breaks down literary and scientific conventions in this prize-winning collection of experimental essays exploring the properties and poetics of glass, mirrors, and light as a means of understanding the self. In powerful, formally inventive essays, The Visible Unseen disrupts the purported cultural divide between arts and science. As both a chemist and an award-winning author, Chapela zeros in on the literary metaphors buried in the facts and figures of her scientific observations. Through questioning scientific conundrums that lie beyond the limits of human perception, she winds up putting herself under the microscope as well.While considering the technical definition of glass as a liquid or a solid, Chapela stumbles upon a framework for understanding the in-between-ness of her own life. Turning her focus toward mirrors, she finds metaphors for our cultural obsessions with self-image in the physics and chemistry of reflection. And as she compiles a history of the scientific study of light, she comes to her final conclusion: that the purpose of description?be it scientific or literary?can never be to define reality, only to confirm our perception of it. Lyrical, introspective, and methodical, The Visible Unseen constructs a startling new perspective from which to examine ourselves and the ways we create meaning.…

Paperback or Softback. Condizione: New. Todos Los Fines del Mundo / All the Ends of the World. Book.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Todos los fines del mundo es una reflexion sobre el amor, la amistad, el deseo y los fragiles limites que creamos para separarlos. Una novela que, mediante una prosa pausada y suave, nos invita a cuestionarnos sobre otras formas de querer y narrar. -Aura Garcia-JuncoCon quien pasarias el fin del mundo? podria parecer una pregunta hipotetica, pero para Angelica, que vive en un mundo dominado por la catastrofe climatica, con estaciones extremas y dias de encierro, se vuelve una obsesion. En Madrid, Manu y Susana, sus vecinos, amigos, amores representan una opcion posible: los tres juntos, acostados en el parque; juntos, abrazados viendo alguna pelicula en el cuarto de Manu; juntos, durante la emergencia, en el bar que atiende Susana. Antes de responder, Angelica debe regresar a Mexico llevandose con ella esa pregunta, que la acompanara incluso despues del colapso global.Todos los fines del mundo es una historia dividida en tres partes que se desplaza con gran inteligencia entre lugares, generos literarios y temporalidades, e indaga la tenue division entre la amistad y el amor. Con fuerza y talento narrativo, Andrea Chapela nos devuelve con esta novela una esperanza de futuro incluso en medio del desastre.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONAll the Ends of the World is a reflection on love, friendship, desire and the fragile limits we impose to keep them separate. It is a novel that, with its soft and measured prose, invites us to envision other ways of loving and storytelling. -Aura Garcia-JuncoWho would you want to be with at the end of the world? It may seem like a hypothetical question, but for Angelica, who lives in a world dominated by climate catastrophe with extreme weather driving many to shelter indoors, it becomes an obsession. Manu and Susana, her neighbors and friends in Madrid, are one possibility: the three of them together, lying on the grass in a park; in each others arms, watching a movie in Manus room; or spending their last days in the bar where Susana works. But before she can answer, Angelica must return to Mexico, taking with her the question that will continue to haunt her even after the world collapses. All the Ends of the World is a story in three parts that cleverly spans place, time and literary genres to probe the fine line between love and friendship. With this novel, Andrea Chapela finds hope in the future even in the midst of disaster. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
