Andrea Chapela, una de las grandes autoras jóvenes en nuestra lengua, empieza con esta confesión: 'A mí la ciencia me parece bella y, al escribir, quiero explorar esa belleza.' En los tres ensayos aquí incluidos, 'El acto de ver a través', 'El acto de verse' y 'La historia de ver', los objetos de la minuciosa observación y animada curiosidad de la autora son, respectivamente, la ventana, el espejo y la luz. Ponerse frente al espejo detona una íntima escritura reflexiva, en voz baja, sobre una misma y sobre ese objeto en el que se refleja; al hablar de experimentos se vuelve ella su propio sujeto experimental. Con una hábil concatenación de estampas sobre ciencia y arte, física y poesía, el lenguaje y el acto de escribir, se termina cocinando una literatura híbrida, afortunada mezcla entre ensayo lírico y divulgación científica que aporta datos factuales con fluidez narrativa. Empujando fronteras y límites, abarcando la dualidad arte /ciencia y viviendo plenamente esos dos mundos, este libro explora desde la prosa poética el lenguaje científico, que es el lenguaje de la infancia de su autora. Para quien 'la idea era encontrar cómo volver a habitar ese lenguaje, cómo podía yo volver a acercarme a lo científico y seguir la corazonada de que la ciencia y la poesía eran mucho más cercanas de lo que se veía. Ver la ciencia desde un punto de vista poético es buscar en el extrañamiento una especie de reencuentro'.

*****INCREÍBLEMENTE REAL***** El periodismo literario de Carles Porta sigue la estela de Ferdinand von Schirach y Patrick Radden Keefe. Carles Porta probablemente sea uno de nuestros mejores periodistas, pero sin duda se ha coronado, con sus libros, podcasts y series televisivas, como un magistral narrador de relatos reales. En este volumen, que recoge diez de los casos más impactantes de la crónica negra reciente, descubriremos su especialidad literaria: contarnos extraordinarias historias de crimen y trabajo policial mientras nos mantiene en vilo hasta la última línea. La fórmula puede parecer sencilla, pero él la convierte en inimitable gracias al tratamiento riguroso que hace de los grandes personajes que escoge y la manera en que los sabe envolver en tramas tan potentes como verídicas. Aquí encontraremos, entre otros: el caso de Amaia Azkue, la vecina de Zarautz cuyo asesino fue identificado por un detalle trivial; la estremecedora desaparición de los hermanos Òrrit en el hospital de Manresa y la búsqueda que ha llevado a cabo durante décadas su numerosa familia; el asesinato a sangre fría de un hombre en Madrid a causa de un macabro juego de rol; o el sangriento robo que cometió una mujer en Fargo, Dakota del Norte, contra su propia vecina. La crítica ha dicho: «El rey de la crónica negra en España.» El Mundo «Un maestro de relatar crónica negra.» Lídia Penelo, Público «Un profundo ejercicio de depuración de estilo.» ABC «Periodismo en profundidad, y próximo.» La Vanguardia «Combina el rigor y el entretenimiento sin caer en la tentación del morbo ni tampoco rehuir los anzuelos para propulsar la lectura.» El País La crítica ha dicho sobre La farmacéutica: «Se lee todo del tirón y uno no da crédito a que sucediera de verdad. [...] Crónica definitiva de aquel secuestro, es un libro de lectura muy dinámica.» El Mundo «Lo que realmente le gusta a Porta es contar buenas historias. [...] La última es un clásico de 1992, tiene como protagonista a una farmacéutica y la cuenta en un gran libro.» La Vanguardia «Un solo hilo narrativo que combina la vivacidad, el drama y la ironía, además de evidenciar la grandeza y, a su vez, la miseria humana. [...] Sin duda, con esta crónica, Porta se consagra, según los expertos del género, como un maestro del periodismo narrativo.» NacióDigital «Este libro pone orden y claridad a los acontecimientos: Porta narra con dinamismo y rellena todos los agujeros con tal de revertir los malentendidos que circulan en la esfera pública.» El País «Una crónica trepidante.» ABC «Una especie de Fargo en la Garrotxa.» Diari de Girona

The Word: On the Translation of the Bible
Brought to you by Penguin. How the Bible has been translated and why it matters The Bible is held to be both universal and specific, the source of fundamental truths inscribed in words that are exact and sacred. For much of the history of Judaism and almost the entirety of Christianity, however, believers have overwhelmingly understood scripture not in the languages in which it was first written but rather in their own - in translation. This book examines how saints, scholars and interpreters from ancient times down to the present have produced versions of the Bible in the language of their day while remaining true to the original. It explains the challenges they negotiated, from minute textual ambiguities up to the sweep of style and stark differences in form and thought between the earliest writings and the latest, and it exposes the bearing these have on some of the most profound questions of faith: the nature of God, the existence of the soul and possibility of its salvation. Reading dozens of renderings alongside their ancient Hebrew and Greek antecedents, John Barton traces the migration of biblical words and ideas across linguistic borders, illuminating original meanings as well as the ways they were recast. 'Translators have been among the principal agents in mediating the Bible's message,' he writes, 'even in shaping what that message is.' At the separation of Christianity from Judaism and Protestantism from Catholicism, Barton demonstrates, vernacular versions did not only spring from fault lines in religious thinking but also inspired and moulded them. The product of a lifetime's study of scripture, The Word itself reveals the central book of our culture anew - as it was written and as we know it. © John Barton 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022

My Soul Look Back in Wonder: Memories from a Life of Study, Struggle, and Doin Battle in the Languag
This is the story of Dr. Geneva Smitherman, aka 'Dr. G,' the pioneering linguist often referred to as the 'Queen of Black Language.' In a series of narrative essays, Dr. G writes eloquently and powerfully about the role of language in social transformation and the academic, intellectual, linguistic, and societal debates that shaped her groundbreaking work as a Black Studies O.G. and a Womanist scholar-activist of African American Language. These eleven essays narrate the development of Dr. G's race, gender, class, and linguistic consciousness as a member of the Black Power Generation of the 1960s and 70s. In My Soul Look Back In Wonder, Dr. G links the personal to the professional and the political, situating the struggles, and successes, of a Black woman in the Academy within the historical experiences and development of her people. As Dr. G enters her eighth decade, in this Black Lives Matter historical moment, she seeks to share the meaning and purpose of a life of study and struggle and its significance for all those who seek racial and social justice today.

Vocabulario de la vida femenina
Esta obra, única por sus características y aspiraciones, desvela un sentido del idioma que hasta hace poco se mantuvo oculto: su aspecto femenino. En una época de grandes transformaciones en la que es necesario que los avances de género se asienten y permeen toda manifestación social y cultural, es indudable la exigencia de contar con un vocabulario que dé cuenta de este escenario en el que se desarrollan las sociedades actuales. Así, mediante la búsqueda de lo que esconden los vocablos, a veces desde la orilla de la denuncia y lo pocas veces expresado, Martha Robles se da a la inmensa tarea de registrar significados actuales, dando luz nueva a la palabra que nombra e indaga a la mujer y su universo. 'Este Vocabulario de la vida femenina ha buscado a la mujer y lo femenino en los senderos del lenguaje, en los placeres, en las costumbres, en la enfermedad, entre expresiones coloquiales en reductos de la miseria, en las presiones padecidas por las agitadas relaciones sociales, amorosas y de trabajo o en la soledad de las viudas, en el dolor de la abandonada, en la mordida del hambre'.
