[Spanish] - Aprende inglés como un estoico

Aprender un idioma es todo un desafío para la mente, que, a menudo, afronta el reto con una mezcla de ilusión y miedo al fracaso: nos entusiasma la idea de lograr expresarnos en una nueva lengua, pero las inseguridades se encargan de poner en nuestro camino obstáculos inoportunos, difíciles de ignorar. Con los ingeniosos consejos que se incluyen en este manual, inspirados en las célebres Meditaciones del emperador Marco Aurelio y en la mentalidad estoica, se muestra al lector una cara que tal vez desconocía del aprendizaje de idiomas, menos intimidante y más divertida. ¿Quién dijo que uno no puede pasarlo bien mientras aprende?

Tamil for Tourists

A 15 session course, learning the basics of pronunciation and comprehension in the Tamil language with a focus on tourist situations such as shopping, travel, directions, restaurants and other tourist situations. The course uses repetition across the sessions with frequent testing of words and phrases to help you retain the vocabulary contained in the course. This is the scientifically proven method of spaced repetition. However, you will get the most from the course the more you engage with it by saying the words in Tamil and guessing the English meanings of what you hear. This is an ideal way to learn Tamil vocabulary that you can put to use as a tourist in a focused way.

The Centre

'Absolutely stunning . . . thrilling and unique' - GILLIAN FLYNN 'Creepy, provocative and wildly entertaining' - EMMA STONEX 'A banger!' - CHELSEA G SUMMERS 'Fantastic . . . compelling . . . wonderful' - THE OBSERVER Welcome to The Centre. You'll never be the same . . . Anisa Ellahi spends her days writing subtitles for Bollywood films in her London flat, all the while longing to be a translator of ‘great works of literature’. Her boyfriend Adam’s extraordinary aptitude for languages only makes her feel worse, but when Adam learns to speak Urdu practically overnight, Anisa forces him to reveal his secret. Adam tells Anisa about the Centre, an elite, invite-only programme that guarantees total fluency in any language in just ten days. Sceptical but intrigued, Anisa enrols. Stripped of her belongings and contact with the outside world, she undergoes the Centre’s strange and rigorous processes. But as she enmeshes herself further within the organization, seduced by all that it’s made possible, she soon realizes the disturbing, hidden cost of its services. By turns dark, funny and surreal, The Centre takes the reader on a journey through Karachi, London and New Delhi, interrogating the sticky politics of language, translation and appropriation with biting specificity, and ultimately asking: what price would you be willing to pay for success? A remarkable debut from Ayesha Manazir Siddiqi, announcing the arrival of an extraordinary new talent.

[Spanish] - Libres y libreras: Mujeres del libro en Londres (The Female Bookkeepers of London)

YA EN 2ª EDICIÓN. Mediante las iniciativas personales de mujeres excéntricas, desafiantes, únicas, Londres ha sido y sigue siendo un lugar donde los libros tienen vida propia y sus libreras, una manera más libre de estar en el mundo. Este libro aborda la historia de más de una treintena de libreras y de sus establecimientos en el Londres de los últimos dos siglos. Recorremos la mítica Charing Cross Road, donde abrieron sus librerías las sufragistas y la apodada «reina roja de Charing Cross Road», Christina Foyle. Sin duda, la historia de Alida Klemantaski y la londinense The Poetry Bookshop nos recuerda que las librerías que hoy consideramos modernas ya contenían todas sus «originalidades» hace un siglo. De la mano de la filántropa Florence Boot (de la icónica droguería Boots), la fulgurante Nancy Mitford o la misteriosa E. Millicent Sowerby, conocemos algunas de las historias más interesantes del siglo xx hasta llegar a nuestros días, con las iniciativas de Ann Devers y Dee Creative. Pero además, sus capítulos ?que pueden leerse sin necesidad de seguir un orden, aunque están concebidos de manera cronológica? son también una breve historia de los negocios de compraventa y edición de libros en la capital inglesa desde el punto de vista de las mujeres que han participado en él. Los hechos aquí recogidos son una prueba de cómo una industria cultural ha logrado sobrevivir gracias a la permanente presencia de las mujeres y al apoyo entre ellas. En realidad, ofrecen la reescritura de una historia en la que no han visto reconocido ?salvo honrosas excepciones? el lugar que les corresponde.
