Selección, prólogo y entrevista: Marcelo Daniel Díaz Somos privilegiados los lectores por el sólo hecho de ser contemporáneos de Ariel Williams, por habitar coordenadas temporales y geografías más o menos similares y somos privilegiados por tener en nuestras manos un libro único para nuestros tiempos. Hablamos de una obra que resuena ahora y lo seguirá haciendo en el futuro. Un registro de cómo la poesía trabaja de manera silenciosa a modo de susurros y de a poco adquiere dimensión y termina cargada de intensidad y belleza. Si el corazón tembloroso, como un galgo corriendo en el llano, se quiebra, la palabra del poeta se enciende y en la inmensidad de la intemperie nos alumbra con su voz. Detenernos a escuchar lo que Ariel Williams tiene para decirnos sería lo más parecido a un milagro por su recorrido secreto hasta llegar aquí. Es una escritura inagotable por su fidelidad al presente, por el hilado sensible y delimitado de sus versos estallando en múltiples direcciones en simultáneo: no habría forma de no encontrarse con esta voz, de no leerla y sentirse en un punto conmovido como si se tratase de la última de las tareas obligatorias que nos quedarían por hacer en esta vida.

The Midnight Forest. The Fanged Creature. Two fortune-telling cards that spell an untimely death for 17-year-old Clara. Despite the ever-present warning from her fortune-teller grandmother, Clara embarks on a dangerous journey into the deadly Forest Grimm to procure a magical book--Sortes Fortunae, the Book of Fortunes--with the power to reverse the curse on her village and save her mother. Years ago, when the villagers whispered their deepest desires to the book, its pages revealed how to obtain them. All was well until someone used the book for an evil purpose--to kill another person. Afterward, the branches of the Forest Grimm snatched the book away, the well water in Grimm's Hollow turned rancid, and the crops died from disease. The villagers tried to make amends with the forest, but every time someone crossed its border, they never returned. Now, left with no alternative, Clara and her close friend, Axel--who is fated never to be with her--have set their minds to defying fate and daring to accomplish what no one else has been able to before. But the forest--alive with dark, deadly twists on some of our most well-known fairy tales--has a mind of its own.

Liska knows that magic is an abomination and that those who practice it are monsters. She has done everything in her power to suppress her powers, but the consequences of her actions have been dire. Desperate to get rid of magic, Liska flees the small town where she lives and enters the dangerous forest of spirits; a place plagued by demons where she intends to find the mythical fern flower, since plucking it will allow her to make a wish with which to renounce her powers. Anyone who goes in search of said flower ends up suffering indescribable horrors. So, when Liska falls into the clutches of Leszy, the demon who guards the forest, making a deal with him seems a better option than death: in exchange for the fern flower and his wish, he will have to spend a year at his side. After being dragged into the Leszy's dilapidated mansion, Liska soon discovers something disturbing: she is not the first person to make a similar deal with the forest guardian, and all of her predecessors have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. If Liska is to return to her home alive after the year, she must unravel the tangle of secrets of her taciturn host and confront the ghosts of her past, both literally and figuratively. Because something deadly and ruthless is awakening in the forest. Even the Leszy fears him... and the only way to defeat him is for Liska to embrace that monstrous version of herself that she has always feared becoming.

Folklore, legends and myths already say it: plants are magical. Witches, healers, shamans and priestesses use them to prepare their remedies, potions and rituals. Plants--with their linked soul and spirits--are complete organisms that are part of that whole in which we are included and, therefore, we are interconnected with them. Although modern medicine and its medications come from the synthesized properties of plants, they are not classified into a single capacity, but rather have a complementary nature capable of helping us in multiple situations, as a holistic whole. For this reason, this book is not a botanical dissertation nor does it even fully immerse itself in the world of phytotherapy, but rather it invites us to work from intuition and the interconnection with common plants that most of us know, inviting us to explore our habitat. and the vegetation of our personal universe.

Este libro propone algunas reflexiones en torno al lugar que ocupa el trabajo en nuestra sociedad, dando cuenta de cómo los procesos de crisis evidencian y profundizan las desigualdades existentes, y afectan de manera desproporcionada a los sectores más vulnerables, como es el caso de los/as trabajadores/as de las plataformas digitales de reparto y de los/as vendedores/as callejeros, y analiza de manera precisa las estrategias de organización y disputa, así como de demanda y construcción de derechos sociales y laborales. * * * En el marco de la creciente heterogeneización de las relaciones del trabajo y las condiciones laborales, la incertidumbre emerge como uno de los rasgos más evidentes en la proyección de la vida actual, y el trabajo -en tanto actividad que continúa signando las posibilidades y condiciones de reproducción de las grandes mayorías- aparece como una de sus manifestaciones centrales.Este libro se inscribe en esta problematización y partiendo de ella propone algunas reflexiones en torno al lugar que ocupa el trabajo en nuestra sociedad y las múltiples complejidades que presenta su abordaje en términos de las relaciones laborales y condiciones que lo signan, el acceso a derechos y protecciones y las formas de organización colectiva y disputa reivindicativa.

Author Robert Francis has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia for longer than a quarter century. Over the many years, Robert has been intimately familiar with the commonly tempered expectations and diminished hopes for those living with schizophrenia to live a full and abundant life, similar to others. In his now third book on living with schizophrenia, Robert was driven to literary action, to flip the schizophrenia narrative from one of abundant deficits to one of abundant strengths. In Schizophrenia: A Strength's Perspective; Life Lessons Learned from Living with Schizophrenia, Robert details personal strengths and life lessons learned from living with schizophrenia for many years. The narrative shows a positive spin on the schizophrenia diagnosis as well as on its prognosis. Robert precludes such positive reflectivity as a simple or wishful pie-in-the-sky naïveté, and instead neatly details such positives as resoundingly rational, insightful, and genuine. Robert truly believes in recovery from schizophrenia, which includes a robust and fulfilling life, similar to everyone else, and the absence of the requisite "grim perspective". Across all literary domains, the strengths of living with schizophrenia are barely addressed, that is, until now. Join Robert as he spins a most positive perspective to living with schizophrenia.

After saving the world and stopping the apocalypse, Callie and Luke are looking forward to a quiet, romantic weekend together. When you're human and dating the Prince of Hell, quiet moments are hard to come by. But their romantic weekend in Hell takes a turn when Lucifer tasks Callie and Luke with chasing a wayward soul around the world. If they can prove it's possible to redeem a soul, Lucifer will allow the two of them to make some changes in Hell. But this wayward soul, Sean, doesn't have any interest in being redeemed. Instead, now that he's back on Earth, he's decided to take a leaf out of Callie and Luke's book and wants to find the Holy Grail. Now Callie, Luke, and their friends--and enemies--must race Sean around the globe on a Grail quest and bring peace between Heaven and Hell before they can finally (maybe) get around to that date.

According to the Japanese, everyone has an ikigai, a reason for existing. Some have found it and are aware of their ikigai, others have it inside, but are still looking for it. This is one of the secrets to a long, young and happy life like the one led by the inhabitants of Okinawa, the longest-living island in the world. The project for this book arose by uniting the experience in Japanese culture of Héctor García (author of A Geek in Japan), who has lived in Japan for twelve years, with the writing art of Francesc Miralles (author of dozens of books and novels and a specialist in psychology). To write the work, the two authors were received by the mayor of Ogimi (Okinawa), a town in northern Japan with the highest longevity rate in the world, and had access to interview more than a hundred of its inhabitants. In this new edition of this already classic of personal growth, the authors give us a prologue in which they reflect on all the experiences they have had since the publication of the first edition of Ikigai in 2016. Having a clear and defined ikigai, a great passion, is something that gives satisfaction, happiness and meaning to life. The mission of this book is to help you find it, as well as to discover many keys of the Japanese philosophy for a long health of the body, mind and spirit.

"Este libro insiste en una pregunta actual e intempestiva, luego de tantos diagnósticos que la daban por agotada en todas sus fases: la pregunta por el arte. Pero al mismo tiempo, a través de ese objeto, su autor abre una pesquisa sobre el sistema del mundo contemporáneo y logra colocar a la crítica de arte sobre la tela de fondo de una filosofía, de una ciencia política, de una economía que utiliza para comprender la magnitud que alcanza la pregunta sin respuesta acerca de qué es el arte de hoy.En este volumen se trabajan con maestría algunas cuestiones fundamentales para la comprensión del estado del arte actual, como el tan visitado -pero nunca resuelto- problema de la autonomía o heteronomía, la subjetividad autoral en un mundo tecnificado en el que la generación de imágenes es cotidiana o la potencia de la creación de cara al Antropoceno. Asimismo, Borisonik soluciona con una claridad insuperable la confusión o asimilación contemporánea entre el diseñoy el arte. Así, describe los trazos de un mundo que muta: digitalización de la experiencia vital, literalidad, neoliberalismo, el lugar del cuerpo. Y lo hace en diálogo con tradiciones y reflexiones que van de la metafísica al psicoanálisis y de Aristóteles a McKenzie Wark, pasando revista de los grandes movimientos de las últimas siete décadas.La necesidad del autor es la necesidad del mundo actual, o lo que queda de él, es la urgencia de poder decir sí a la vida, al arte y a la filosofía, de sostener la pregunta justa y luchar contra las respuestas inmediatas. No por pasiones disciplinares o policiacas, sino por una exigencia temblorosa que insiste frente a todo pronóstico. Si la pregunta por el arte es la pregunta por el estado del mundo presente y su peligroso futuro, este libro es una muestra de lo que la filosofía aún puede sostener. Su lectura fluye de manera atrapante, sostenida por la pasión y la tensión de una escritura que mantiene en vilo a quien la afronta, desde su comienzo en la Bienal de Venecia hasta su crucial afirmación final."Fabián Ludueña Romandini
