Hardback. Condizione: New. Skin is the border of our body and, as such, it is that through which we relate to others but also what separates us from them. Through skin, we speak: when we display it, when we tan it, when we tattoo it, or when we mute it by covering it with clothes. Skin exhibits social relationships, displays power and the effects of power, explains many things about who we are, how others perceive us and how we exist in the world. And when it gets sick, it turns us into monsters. In Skin, Sergio del Molino speaks of these monsters in history and literature, whose lives have been tormented by bad skin: Stalin secretly taking a bath in his dacha, Pablo Escobar getting up late and shutting himself in the shower, Cyndi Lauper performing a commercial for a medicine promising relief from skin disease, John Updike sunburned in the Caribbean, Nabokov writing to his wife from exile, 'Everything would be fine, if it weren't for the damned skin.' As a psoriasis sufferer, Sergio del Molino includes himself in this gallery of monsters through whose stories he delves into the mysteries of skin. What is for some a badge of pride and for others a source of anguish and shame, skin speaks of us and for us when we don't speak with words.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Un clasico de nuestra epoca, con nuevo prologo y edicion.En el caso de Sergio del Molino y La Espana vacia se combinaron la magia de la literatura y la de la oportunidad. -Ignacio Martinez de Pison, La VanguardiaLlega al catalogo de Alfaguara un titulo que ya es historia reciente: el libro que cambio la mirada sobre la despoblacion y la senalo como un fenomeno crucial para entender la Espana de hoy. La etiqueta Espana vacia genero una conversacion nueva, llego a los programas politicos, lleno librerias y espacios culturales, y ha acabado por convertirse en una seccion fija de los medios y las agendas electorales. El asunto de lo rural y lo urbano volvio a ser un genero literario que dio pie a una enorme bibliografia y revitalizo, ademas, el ensayo para la generacion mas joven de escritores y lectores.La Espana vacia habla de una gran parte de nuestro pais, pero tambien de todo el mundo occidental, donde la vida en los pueblos se separa cada vez mas de la urbana; habla de recursos, de politica, de literatura y tradiciones, del pasado y del futuro, y de cada uno de nosotros, de nuestra historia y nuestras historias.Esta nueva edicion incorpora un nuevo prologo del autor escrito en 2022, junto a todo el contenido original revisado.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA classic of our times, featuring a new prologue and edition. From the Alfaguara catalogue comes a new edition of the book that zeroed in on the phenomenon of population loss and identified it as crucial to understanding modern-day Spain. The term empty Spain sparked a new type of conversation, led to new government policies, inspired countless books and cultural projects, and became a mainstay of the media and electoral agenda. The concept of the rural-urban divide launched a prolific literary genre and revitalized the essay as a format for debate for a new generation of writers and readers. The premise of An Empty Spain holds true not only for the country of its title but for much of the western world, where life in rural areas has grown to seem ever more distant from its urban counterpart. It encompasses everything from resources, politics, literature, tradition, the past and the future to each one of us, our history and our stories. This new edition includes a new 2022 prologue by the author as well as the full, updated original content.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. En 1916, en plena Primera Guerra Mundial, llegan a Cadiz dos barcos con mas de seiscientos alemanes provenientes de Camerun. Se han entregado en la frontera guineana a las autoridades coloniales por ser Espana pais neutral. Se instalaran, entre otros sitios, en Zaragoza y formaran alli una pequena comunidad que ya no volvera a Alemania. Entre ellos estaba el bisabuelo de Eva y Fede, quienes, casi un siglo despues, se encuentran en el cementerio aleman de Zaragoza en el entierro de Gabi, su hermano mayor. Junto con su padre, son los ultimos supervivientes de los Schuster, una familia que llego a formar un importante negocio de alimentacion. Pero en los tiempos que corren el pasado siempre puede regresar para levantar ampollas. Con una intriga que crece pagina a pagina, Los alemanes trata uno de los episodios mas vergonzosos y menos divulgados de la historia de Espana: como los nazis refugiados aqui en un retiro dorado activaron el neonazismo en Alemania. Con sutileza alumbra el infierno que puede llegar a ser, en ocasiones, la familia, y deja en el aire dos preguntas incomodas: Cuando caducan las culpas de los padres? Llega hasta los hijos la obligacion de redimirlas?ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONIn 1916, during World War I, two ships carrying more than six hundred Germans from Cameroon arrive in Cadiz. They have surrendered to the colonial authorities at the Guinean border as Spain is a neutral country. They will settle, among other places, in Zaragoza and form a small community of people that will never return to Germany. Among them was Eva and Fede's great-grandfather, who, almost a century later, find themselves at the German cemetery in Zaragoza burying their older brother, Gabi. Along with their father, they are the last survivors of the Schuster family, who once built a significant food business. But in current times, the past can always resurface to stir up trouble.With secrecy and conspiracies that grow page by page, Los alemanes / The Germans addresses one of the most shameful and less-publicized episodes in the history of Spain: how the Nazis who sought refuge there in a golden retreat, activated neo-Nazism in Germany. With subtlety, it shines a light on the hell that family can sometimes become and leaves two uncomfortable hanging questions: When do the parents sins expire? Do the children have an obligation to redeem and liberate them from those sins? Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. LA BIOGRAFIA DE UN PAIS EN TRANSICION Del Molino no hace mas que usar a su modo liberrimo ese genero hibrido, casi infinitamente versatil y omnivoro que llamamos novela. Javier Cercas, El Pais Del Molino escribe con ligereza, pero en todo momento se refleja su rico mundo politico, literario y cultural. Andre van Loon, The Spectator Quiza empecemos a apreciar ser hijos de la Transicion mas que nietos de la guerra civil. Se cumplen cuarenta anos del primer triunfo del partido socialista en las elecciones generales (octubre de 1982) y de la llegada al poder de un joven abogado sevillano, Felipe Gonzalez, que en 2022 ha llegado a los ochenta anos. Un tal Gonzalez narra un momento crucial de la historia de Espana: la Transicion, siguiendo el hilo biografico de su gran protagonista. La figura de Felipe Gonzalez vertebra el relato, pero su foco es una Espana que pasa en menos de una generacion de la misa y el partido unico a la democracia avanzada y la completa integracion europea. Una biografia documentada con testimonios de primera mano, cronicas, hemeroteca y el pulso de un narrador que ha contado como nadie la Espana de hoy.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION THE BIOGRAPHY OF A TRANSITIONING COUNTRY. Del Molino does nothing but use this hybrid, almost infinitely versatile, and omnivorous genre we call the novel in his own absolutely free manner. Javier Cercas, El Pais Del Molino writes with lightness, and yet reflects his rich political, literary, and cultural world at all times. Andre van Loon, The Spectator Perhaps we can start appreciating being children of the Transition instead of grandchildren of the Civil War. It has been forty years since the first win of the socialist party in general elections (October, 1982) and the ascension to power of a young Sevillian lawyer, Felipe Gonzalez, who turned eighty in 2022. A Man Called Gonzalez relates a crucial moment in Spanish history: the Transition, following the biographical thread of its great protagonist. Felipe Gonzalez character vertebrates the story, but the focus is a country that, in less than one generation, goes from Sunday mass and a single political party, to advanced democracy and complete European integration. A biography documented with first-hand testimonies, chronicles, archives, and a storytellers pulse that describes modern-day Spain like no other.
