A translation of Life (9780316034388)
Keith Richards
“By turns earnest and wicked, sweet and sarcastic and unsparing, Mr.
Richards, now 66, writes with uncommon candor and immediacy.”
—New York Times, on the English-language edition
“One of the greatest rock memoirs ever.”
—Rolling Stone, on the English-language edition
“Richards’ . . . writing is spare and incisive, the narrative tone rarely
self-serving, which is certainly something to be celebrated in celebrity
autobiography.” —Booklist, on the English-language edition
“Entertaining . . . a slurry romp through the life of a man who knew
every pleasure, denied himself nothing, and never paid the price.”
—New Yorker, on the English-language edition

Keith Richards, a member of the Rolling Stones and widely considered
to be one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time, has made a point of
living life on his own terms—even when those terms have far exceeded
standards of convention and propriety. Now, in his long-awaited auto-
biography, he opens up about his earliest years in postwar Kent; learn-
ing guitar and forming a band with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones; the
rise to prominence of the Stones and the famous shows, tours, and
records; his occasionally fraught relationship with Jagger and his
romances with Anita Pallenberg and Patti Hansen; his struggles with
drug addiction and his run-ins with the law in various countries—noth-
ing is off limits. Richards’s story is, in many ways, the history of rock
music itself and a cultural snapshot of the last four decades.
Keith Richards, miembro de los Rolling Stones y generalmente consider-
ado uno de los mejores guitarristas del rock de todos los tiempos, se ha
dedicado a vivir una vida bajo sus propios términos—aun cuando esos
términos han excedido por mucho las convenciones. Ahora, en su auto-
biografía muy esperada, se sincera sobre su niñez en Kent de la posguer-
ra; aprender a tocar la guitarra y formar una banda con Mick Jagger y
Brian Jones; el ascenso de los Rolling Stones y los famosos conciertos,
las giras y los discos; su tensa relación con Jagger y sus romances con
Anita Pallenberg y Patti Hansen; su lucha contra la adicción a las dro-
gas y sus encuentros con la ley en varios países—todo se pone sobre la
mesa. La historia de Richards es, en muchos sentidos, la historia del
rock mismo y un vistazo cultural de las últimas cuatro décadas.
Keith Richards is an English musician and songwriter and the guitarist
for the Rolling Stones, with whom he has sold more than 200 million
albums. He lives in Weston, Connecticut.

In 2000 and 2001, Michael Jackson sat down with his friend and
spiritual confidant Shmuley Boteach to record a series of intimate
and revealing conversations. The resulting 30 hours of tape present
the pop icon at his most forthright, as he discusses his emotional pain
and profound loneliness, his longing to be loved, and the emptiness
of fame. Boteach walks Jackson through the most difficult moments
of his childhood, his tortured relationships with his siblings, and the
hurtful conflict with his father. The singer also discusses, in his own
words, his distrust of women, his views on God and religion, and his
terror of growing old. These pages provide startling insight into the
inner life of one of the most famous, celebrated, controversial, and
enigmatic performers of all time.

Born into poverty—the entire family slept in a single room—Ozzy
Osbourne endured a challenging childhood. It was a struggle from
which he sought shelter in music, and his time as a member of Black
Sabbath revolutionized heavy metal and catapulted him to worldwide
fame. With the acclaim, however, came the excesses and heartbreaks;
and in this engaging and revealing autobiography, Osbourne writes as
candidly about his struggles with addictive substances and the loss of
close friends as he does about his legendary stage performances and
tours, and also discusses his more recent reinvention as a reality TV
star. This is the definitive insider’s account of the heavy metal scene
from the 1970s through the 1990s and a more general cultural history
of that same period. Heavy metal, rock and roll, and pop culture fans
alike will find this essential reading.
Nacido en la pobreza—su familia entera dormía en una sola
habitación—Ozzy Osbourne tuvo una niñez difícil. Fue una lucha
de la cual consiguió un refugio en la música, y su tiempo como un
miembro de Black Sabbath sirvió tanto para revolucionar al heavy
metal como para catapultarlo a la fama. Con la aclamación, sin
embargo, vinieron también los excesos y desengaños; y en esta
autobiografía simpática y reveladora, Osbourne escribe tan franca-
mente sobre su lucha con las substancias adictivas y la pérdida de amigos cercanos así como sobre sus interpretaciones y giras
legendarias, y discute también su reinvención reciente como una estrella de la telerrealidad. Éste es el relato definitivo del mundo
del heavy metal desde los 70 hasta los 90 y una historia cultural general del mismo periodo. Los fanáticos del heavy metal, el
rock y la cultura popular considerarán esto lectura imprescindible.
Ozzy Osbourne is an English singer-songwriter who has sold more than 100 million albums during his more than 40-year career.
Having first risen to prominence as the lead vocalist for the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, he also achieved multiplatinum status
as a solo artist. He lives in Los Angeles.

Zen y el arte del mantenimiento


de la motocicleta
A translation of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Robert M. Pirsig
A first-person account of the narrator’s motorcycle journey with his
11-year-old son Chris is the backdrop for a philosophical discussion
about the meaning of quality in this renowned novel from 1974. As
the two travel from Minnesota to California, the artful maintenance
required to keep the motorcycle running becomes a metaphor for
how to combine the cold, rational world of technology and the
warm, imaginative world of art. The daily care of the mechanical
pieces, their correct functions, and the necessary equilibrium of the
parts that make up the whole encapsulate the history of Western
philosophy. The magic of this book, which has touched millions of
readers all over the world, resides in its ability to captivate the read-
er with a heartwarming story while browsing philosophical heritage
from Socrates to Kant, simultaneously examining the valuable coun-
terweight of philosophical currents from the East.
Un relato en primera persona del viaje en motocicleta del narrador
con Chris, su hijo de once años, es el telón de fondo para una dis-
cusión filosófica sobre el significado de la calidad en esta novela
famosa de 1974. Mientras los dos viajan desde Minnesota hacia
California, el arte del mantenimiento necesario para mantener la
motocicleta corriendo pasa a ser una metáfora de cómo conjugar el
frío y racional mundo tecnológico y el cálido e imaginativo mundo
del arte. El cuidado diario de las piezas mecánicas, su funcionamien-
to correcto y el equilibrio necesario de las partes que componen el
todo resumen la historia de la filosofía occidental. La magia de este
libro, que marcó a millones de lectores en todo el mundo, reside en
su habilidad de cautivar al lector mediante una entrañable historia
mientras explora el patrimonio filosófico desde Sócrates hasta Kant,
al mismo tiempo examinando el valioso contrapeso de las corrientes
filosóficas orientales.
Robert M. Pirsig is a writer and philosopher famous for his
Metaphysics of Quality theory. He is the author of Lila: An Inquiry
into Morals. He lives in St. Paul, Minnesota.

• $20,000 marketing budget
This hilarious masterpiece of Japanese literature recounts the adven-
tures of a disdainful cat accidentally cohabiting with a group of
grotesque characters, all members of Tokyo’s sanctimonious middle
class during the Meiji era. These characters include the dyspeptic
professor Kushami and his family, who are theoretical owners of the
house where the cat lives; the teacher’s best friend; the irritating
charlatan Meite; and the young scholar Kangetsu. A satire with
acerbic wit and sardonic perspective, this novel runs through the
vicissitudes of a fickle cat philosopher who never tires of making the
most incisive comments on the disparate band of human beings with
whom he lives.

Mire el pajarito
A translation of Look at the Birdie
Kurt Vonnegut
From one of the most original narrative writers of the 20th century
comes an anthology of stories full of sharp humor, fierce social criti-
cism, and strange, diverse characters. A crazy psychiatrist-turned-
counselor to the families of murder victims concocts a cruel plot to
make money off of the instincts of his paranoid patients; a family
discovers the consequences of telling a magical invention their deep-
est secrets; and a man becomes trapped in a Kafkaesque world after
he gets on the bad side of the boss who dominates the underworld
of a small New York town. Published posthumously in 2009, these
14 pieces of literature embody Kurt Vonnegut’s direct and simple
style and are accompanied by his signature line drawings.
De uno de los escritores más originales de la narrativa del siglo XX
viene una antología de cuentos llenos de agudo humor, feroz crítica
social y personajes extraños y diversos. Un psiquiatra embaucador
que se convierte en un consejero de familias de víctimas de homi-
cidio inventa una trama cruel para sacarle rédito a las pulsiones de
sus pacientes paranoicos; una familia conoce las consecuencias de
confiar sus secretos más íntimos a una mágica invención; y un hom-
bre queda atrapado en un mundo kafkiano después de enfrentarse al
jefe de los bajos mundos que domina el hampa en un pueblo del
estado de Nueva York. Publicadas póstumamente en 2009, estas 14
piezas de literatura encarnan el estilo directo y simple de Kurt
Vonnegut y son acompañadas de sus habituales dibujos de línea.
Kurt Vonnegut was an influential American writer known for com-

works include Breakfast of Champions, Cat’s Cradle, and
Slaughterhouse-Five.

Moby Dick
Basado en la novela de Herman Melville
An adaptation of Moby-Dick
Herman Melville
Adapted by Jean Rouaud
Illustrations by Denis Deprez
Herman Melville’s classic tale of Ishmael, Captain Ahab, and the
White Whale comes to life through stark drawings in this graph-
ic novel adaptation. Ishmael, a young merchant marine, decides
to embark with his friend Queequeg on a voyage on the whaling
ship the Pequod, helmed by Captain Ahab. They soon discover
that the strange captain’s true mission is to find and kill Moby
Dick, a great white whale who tore off Ahab’s leg. Ahab’s quest
for revenge, a quintessential case of man against nature and
good against evil, remains an enduring story that has captivated
readers for generations. In this edition, Denis Deprez’s haunting
graphics set a dark, menacing tone for the narrative.
La historia clásica de Herman Melville de Ismael, el capitán
Ahab y la ballena blanca cobra vida a través de dibujos severos

decide embarcarse junto con su amigo Queequeg en un viaje en
el barco ballenero Pequod, dirigido por el capitán Ahab. Pronto
descubren que la verdadera misión del extraño capitán es encon-
trar y matar a Moby Dick, una gran ballena blanca que le
arrancó la pierna a Ahab. Su búsqueda de venganza, un caso por
excelencia del hombre contra la naturaleza y del bien contra el
mal, sigue siendo una historia perdurable que ha cautivado a los
lectores por generaciones. En esta edición, los gráficos inqui-
etantes de Denis Deprez crean un tono oscuro y amenazante
para la narrativa.

Nueva York
A translation of The New York Stories of Henry James
(9781590171622)
Henry James
Selected and with a prologue by Colm Tóibín
“In many ways, James’s anger at New York is the anger of a scorned
lover, of someone who has lost something beautiful and soft.”
—New York Times, on the English-language edition
All of Henry James’s stories set in New York are brought together
for the first time in this anthology compiled by contemporary writer
Colm Tóibín. Though he spent most of his life in England, James
considered New York, where he lived as a child, to be his home, and
its influence is present in much of his work. Together these writings
reveal not only professed love for the city but also anger toward the
changes to the city that James witnessed in his lifetime. One of
James’s most critically acclaimed novellas, Washington Square, is
included, as are some of his stories that have never before been
translated into Spanish, such as “Crawford’s Consistency,” “The
Impressions of a Cousin,” and “The Story of a Masterpiece.”
Todas las historias de Henry James ambientadas en Nueva York se
recopilan por primera vez en esta antología, compilada por el
escritor contemporáneo Colm Tóibín. Aunque pasó la mayoría de su
vida en Inglaterra, James consideraba Nueva York, dónde vivó como
niño, como su hogar, y su influencia está presente en mucha de su
obra. En conjunto, estos escritos revelan no sólo un amor profesado
por la ciudad pero también ira hacia los cambios a la ciudad a los
que James fue testigo durante su vida. Una de sus novelas más acla-
madas por la crítica, Washington Square, está incluida, así como
algunos de sus cuentos nunca antes traducidos al español, como “La
coherencia de Crawford,” “Historia de una obra maestra” e
“Impresiones de una prima.”
Henry James was an American-born writer who spent much of his
life in England. Among his best known stories and novels are The
Portrait of a Lady, The Turn of the Screw, and The Wings of the
Dove. Colm Tóibín is an Irish novelist and journalist. He is the
author of The Blackwater Lightship, Brooklyn, The Heather
Blazing, and The Story of the Night. His novel The Master, based on
the life of Henry James, was short-listed for the Man Booker Prize.

Prologue by Gabriel Insausti
Translated by Luis Murillo
“Altogether beautiful in the power of its feeling. . . . As beautiful as
anything in Thoreau or Hemingway.” —Alfred Kazin,
Chicago Tribune Book World, on the English-language edition
“It is an enchanted tale. . . . I have read the story three times now, and
each time it seems fuller.” —Roger Sale, New York Review of Books,
on the English-language edition
“Maclean’s book—acerbic, laconic, deadpan—rings out of a rich
American tradition that includes Mark Twain, Kin Hubbard, Richard
Bissell, Jean Shepherd, and Nelson Algren. I love its sound.”
—James R. Frakes, New York Times Book Review,
on the English-language edition
“The title novella is the prize. . . . Something unique and marvelous: a
story that is at once an evocation of nature’s miracles and realities
and a probing of human mysteries. Wise, witty, wonderful, Maclean
spins his tales, casts his flies, fishes the rivers and the woods for what
he remembers from his youth in the Rockies.”

Una antología poética


An Anthology of Poetry
Federico García Lorca
Prologue by José Luis Piquero
From lyrical verses and ballads to excerpts from his theatrical
works and those that stand alone, this collection brings together
the greatest poetry of Federico García Lorca. The themes that
Lorca explores—primarily love, pride, and passion—are pre-
sented in his signature writing style: his capacity for suggestion,
use of inventive metaphors, depth, and commitment to the
words on the page. These enduring pieces bring readers a little
bit closer to discovering the true substance and deep mysteries
of Lorca’s poetry.
Desde los versos líricos y los romances hasta los extractos de sus
obras teatrales y piezas singulares, esta colección recoge la gran
poesía de Federico García Lorca. Los temas que explora Lorca—
principalmente el amor, el orgullo y la pasión—están presentados
en su característico estilo de escribir: su capacidad de sugerencia,
su inventiva metafórica, su hondura y su dedicación a las pal-
abras en la página. Estas piezas perdurables acercan un poco más
a los lectores al descubrir la verdadera sustancia y el misterio
profundo de la poesía de Lorca.
Federico García Lorca was a Spanish poet, a dramatist, and a
writer whose most famous works include Bodas de sangre, La
casa de Bernarda Alba, and Yerma. José Luis Piquero is a writer
and a translator whose other translations include The Great
Gatsby and This Side of Paradise.

ni caballos ni hormigas de tu casa. como todos los muertos de la Tierra,
No te conoce el niño ni la tarde como todos los muertos que se olvidan
porque te has muerto para siempre. en un montón de perros apagados.

No te conoce el lomo de la piedra, No te conoce nadie. No. Pero yo te canto.


ni el raso negro donde te destrozas. Yo canto para luego tu perfil y tu gracia.
No te conoce tu recuerdo mudo La madurez insigne de tu conocimiento.
porque te has muerto para siempre Tu apetencia de muerte y el gusto de su boca.
La tristeza que tuvo tu valiente alegría.
El otoño vendrá con caracolas,
uva de niebla y montes agrupados, Tardará mucho tiempo en nacer, si es que nace,
pero nadie querrá mirar tus ojos un andaluz tan claro, tan rico de aventura.
porque te has muerto para siempre. Yo canto su elegancia con palabras que gimen
y recuerdo una brisa triste por los olivos.

Excerpt:
¿Qué tiene de malo una guardería?
Es algo que necesitan los padres..., pero no es lo que necesita un bebé.
¿Y qué necesita un bebé?
La cercanía cálida, constante y segura de sus amorosos padres.
Pero si los padres no pueden . . .
Dejan a sus bebés cada vez más tempranamente en guarderías, sin calibrar las consecuencias . . .
¿A qué edad entran los bebés en guarderías?
¡Con cuatro meses! Algo impensable hace cuarenta años . . .
¿Y qué consecuencias tiene esto?
Mala crianza. Asumimos como normal que nuestros bebés enfermen, ¡y no lo es!
¿Enferman por culpa de la guardería?
Multiplica las posibilidades de enfermar: el bebé está más expuesto a gérmenes . . . y, sobre todo, más propenso a toda afección.
¿La guardería acentúa la propensión a enfermar del bebé?
Sí. El propio hogar, los brazos de mamá y papá, un círculo reducido de personas . . . ¡eso es lo que fortalece emocional, cognitiva y
físicamente al bebé! La guardería, en cambio, puede comprometer su desarrollo.

Luis Restrepo: Travel Notebooks
Luis Restrepo
Published as a facsimile of a notebook and directed at young architects, this compendium of drawings and notes, gathered over 15
years of travel by Luis Restrepo, contains an extensive collection of sketches of some of the most important architectural monuments
and constructions in Europe. The book presents problems in the management of proportions, scale, and architectural languages and
speaks to the essence of an architect’s profession: the concept of site, the idea of locality, and the influences of culture and time on
urban space. Architects learning to master the tools of their trade and individuals interested in understanding the inspiration behind
an architect’s work will find this to be an engaging and valuable resource.
Publicado como un facsímil de un cuaderno y dirigido a arquitectos jóvenes, este compendio de dibujos y apuntes de viaje, realizados
por Luis Restrepo durante 15 años, contiene una recopilación amplia de bosquejos de algunos de los monumentos y las construcciones
arquitectónicas más importantes de Europa. El libro es un recorrido en el manejo de las proporciones, la escala y los lenguajes de la
arquitectura y es un tratado sobre la esencia del oficio del arquitecto: el concepto del lugar, la idea de lo local y la influencia de la cul-
tura y el tiempo en el espacio urbano. Arquitectos buscando aprender las herramientas básicas de su oficio y personas interesadas en
entender la inspiración detrás de la obra arquitectónica considerarán éste un recurso cautivador y valioso.

• English-language edition won the Award of
Excellence by Body Mind Spirit Magazine
When a young boy asks, “Who are you, Mr.
Sun?” his innocent question triggers an expan-
sive journey of self-discovery. With the help of
Sister Star, he discovers his inner light, a light
he also sees in all those around him. From the
plants and the animals to the sea and the sky,
he learns that he is part of everything, and
everything is part of him. The nondenomina-
tional approach to the concepts of oneness and
higher self offers children a wonderful intro-
duction to spirituality and presents the essence
of all religions without explicit references to
God. This vibrantly illustrated picture book’s
enduring message of unity makes it a timeless
addition to any child’s bookshelf.
Cuando un niño pregunta: “¿Quién eres, Señor
Sol?” su pregunta inocente desencadena un
viaje expansivo de autoconocimiento. Con la
ayuda de Hermana Estrella, descubre su luz
interior, una luz que también ve en todos los
que lo rodean. Desde las plantas y los animales
hasta el mar y el cielo, descubre que él es parte
de todo, y todo es parte de él. El enfoque acon-
fesional sobre los conceptos de la unidad y la
consciencia superior les ofrece a los niños una
maravillosa introducción a la espiritualidad y
presenta la esencia de todas las religiones sin
referencias explícitas a Dios. El mensaje per-
durable de la unidad de este libro de imágenes
vibrantes lo hace una adición intemporal a la
estantería de cualquier niño.

Entremeses
Miguel de Cervantes
Adapted by Emilia Navarro Ramírez
• Part of the Letras mayúsculas. Clásicos castellanos series, which
includes La Celestina, Celestina (9788483430859); Pasos, Sketches
(9788483430828); and Rinconete y Cortadillo, Rinconete and
Cortadillo (9788483430811)
Much like modern sketch comedy and stand-up routines, the
entremeses of 16th- and 17th-century Spanish theater—short
farces performed between acts of longer dramatic works—poked
fun at contemporary culture even as they made serious critiques of
it. This collection gathers several pieces by Miguel de Cervantes,
one of the primary proponents of the form, and includes a number
of lexical and interpretive notes directed at nonexpert readers that
help contribute to their enjoyment of the material.
Tal como el humor sketch o los monólogos modernos, los
entremeses del teatro español de los siglos XVI y XVII—cortas
farsas que se presentaban entre los actos de obras dramáticas
más largas—se burlaban de la cultura contemporánea a la
misma vez que hacían críticas serias y válidas contra ella. Esta
colección reúne algunas de las obras de Miguel de Cervantes—
uno de los principales exponentes del estilo—e incluye notas de
léxico e interpretación dirigidas a lectores no expertos que ayu-
dan a contribuir a su placer del material.
Miguel de Cervantes was a Spanish novelist, playwright, and poet
and the author of the universal classic Don Quijote de la Mancha.

Alicia en el país de
las maravillas
A translation of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
Lewis Carroll
Illustrations by Peter Kuper
Prologue by Andrés Barba
The classic literary tale of a young girl’s adventures in a fan-
tasy world comes to life in this new translation. Alice, an
English girl bored of sitting on the riverbank with her sister,
sees a white rabbit run past, wearing clothing and a pocket
watch and talking to himself. She follows the creature down
a rabbit hole and is soon immersed in the fanciful world of
the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter and his tea party, and the
Queen of Hearts’ game of croquet, where Alice must use a
flamingo for a mallet and a hedgehog for a ball. Written
with the intention of exploring the character of Alice as well
as the magical world that she enters, this enduring story is
accompanied by whimsical illustrations.
El cuento clásico de las aventuras de una joven en un mundo
de fantasía cobra vida en esta nueva traducción. Alicia, una
niña inglesa aburrida de sentarse en la orilla del río con su
hermana, ve un conejo blanco corriendo delante, vestido con
ropa y un reloj de bolsillo y hablando consigo mismo. Ella
sigue la criatura hasta meterse en su madriguera de conejo y
pronto está inmersa en el mundo fantástico del Gato de
Cheshire, el Sombrerero y su fiesta de té y el juego de cro-
quet de la Reina de Corazones, en el que Alicia tiene que
usar un flamenco como mazo y un erizo como pelota.
Escrito con la intención de explorar el personaje de Alicia así
como el mundo mágico en que entra, este cuento perdurable
es acompañado de ilustraciones caprichosas.
Lewis Carroll was an English author, a mathematician, and a
logician. His most famous works include Through the
Looking-Glass and the poems “The Hunting of the Snark”
and “Jabberwocky.” Peter Kuper is an artist whose comics
appear regularly in Mad, the New York Times, Newsweek,
and Time. He is the illustrator of Comic Trips, Give It Up!,
The Metamorphosis, Sticks and Stones, and Stripped. He lives
in New York City. Andrés Barba is the author of El hueso
