Daniel y Apocalipsis Tomo 1

&#8220;Forged from the world with a sharp eye and a careful ear, serving no agenda but literature's primary and oft-forgotten one: the delight of the reader.&#8221; &#8212;The New York Times Book Review&#8220;Gutsy, brilliantly imagined, strongly made, fresh and propulsive.&#8221;  &#8212;Chicago Tribune&#8220;With a near spooky sense of empathy and a wit that finds its mark like lightning, the stories in Jim Shepard's Like You'd Understand, Anyway transport readers light-years beyond what they think they know of the world.&#8221; &#8212;Vanity Fair&#8220;Exquisite, multifaceted tales.&#8221; &#8212;The New Yorker &#8220;A macro book with a micro eye. These wildly diverse stories share a fascination with the inevitable cost of familial obligation and the inescapable fallout from disaster, both natural and human-made.&#8221; &#8212;Los Angeles Times Book Review&#8220;Cannily crafted. . . . The stories couldn't be funnier-or deadlier-in this mad-smart, wildly inventive set.&#8221; &#8212;Elle  &#8220;Jim Shepard is really a terrific writer. And it's not just the precision of the sentences. . . . It is the way he captures people throughout time with such an exact piercing, as though he's mapped out every corresponding nerve that can make us go weak at the knees.&#8221; &#8212;Providence Journal&#8220;An astounding set of stories . . . so dangerously brilliant, they're radioactive.&#8221; &#8212;O Magazine

Like You'd Understand, Anyway

"I read The Running Dream on my way to the World Championships. I nearly missed my flight for reading it and inhaled it before I touched down. It's a truly touching story that feels very real."--Katrin Green, Paralympic Gold Medalist"This heart-touching story is a helpful reminder that we must appreciate each day and each blessing. When I go around "Rigor Mortis Bend" and think of Jessica, my legs do not feel nearly as tired anymore."--Jordan Hasay, four-time USA Track & Field Jr. Women's Champion"Van Draanen's extensive research into both running and amputees pays dividends--readers will truly feel what's it like to walk (or run) a mile (or 10) in Jessica's shoes."--Booklist"Inspirational. The pace of Van Draanen's prose matches Jessica's at her swiftest. Readers will zoom through the book just as Jessica blazes around the track. A lively and lovely story."--Kirkus Reviews"Van Draanen delivers an abundance of interesting medical detail and emotional authenticity in this accessible and inspirational novel."--The Horn Book Magazine

The Running Dream

&#160;"Anyone who knows the Jewel Ornament well can say that they really understand Buddhism."&mdash;Khenpo Konchog Gyaltsen  "Contains a wealth of useful material for anyone committed to the study and practice of the path and stages, or the Great Vehicle. The introduction is a fine overview of the text, given in a form accessible to the Western non-scholar practitioner. In fact, the introduction constitutes the contents of a single course on the Great Vehicle. . . . Provides a fine biography of Gampopa."&mdash;Tibet Journal

&ldquo;Exceptional . . . a graceful, understated memoir . . . that draws its strength from the complexities it explores.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times Book Review &#160; &ldquo;Ms. Steinman skillfully weaves her father&rsquo;s emotional letters into the present-day story line, sensitively taking readers through Norman Steinman&rsquo;s transformation from na&iuml;ve American soldier to hardened combat veteran. . . . The Souvenir underscores the indescribable way war affects not only veterans but also their families and future generations.&rdquo; &mdash;The Dallas Morning News &#160; &ldquo;The book is the story of entwined &lsquo;gifts&rsquo; resulting from [a] personal journey&mdash;Steinman&rsquo;s discovery of a side of her father she never expected to share. For many, her account could provide an understanding of how the war changed one generation and shaped the next.&rdquo; &mdash;Library Journal, starred review &#160; &ldquo;A moving memoir about reconciliation and honor.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly &#160; &ldquo;The Souvenir is a powerful testament that, regardless of time and place, the effect of war on the human spirit remains the same. Steinman&rsquo;s remarkable discovery shows how war separates our common humanity. It is a journey to repair that broken bond, a journey to know the humanity of those we have made enemies.&rdquo; &mdash;Ishmael Beah, author of A Long Way Gone &#160; &ldquo;Partly a detective story, partly a meditation on the legacy of war . . . this is a bold, unusual, and moving book.&rdquo; &mdash;Adam Hochschild, author of King Leopold&rsquo;s Ghost &#160; &ldquo;The Souvenir is an intimate and powerful story of the effects of war.&rdquo; &mdash;James Bradley, author of Flags of Our Father &#160; &ldquo;Luckily for her readers, Ms. Steinman . . . interviewed not only American veterans of the Pacific war, but Japanese veterans as well. In this quest, she discovered more than just her father&rsquo;s wartime souvenir; she discovered her father&rsquo;s war and those experiences that shaped the life of her family in the &rsquo;50s. . . . The Souvenir is a graceful blend of history, wartime storytelling and investigative reporting that dives deep into the traumatic experiences of war. Military enthusiasts, especially veterans and their families, will find The Souvenir a proactive [and] rewarding read.&rdquo; &mdash;The Jewish Veteran

The Souvenir

"Stern ably tells his stories, as do the spectacular photographs and drawings in this weighty tome. Unlike many neo-conservatives who genuflect at a monolithic altar of the past, Stern has a playfully pluralistic relationship to architectural history and contemporary design. And unlike the hippest of the hip, he has no need to dadaistically defy or defame the architectural canon . . . For that and more, this book warrants our appreciative attention."&mdash;Norman Weinstein, ArchNewsNow

&ldquo;Beautiful, heartbreaking.&rdquo; &mdash;The Washington Post&ldquo;Banville traces [a] journey of self-discovery in the distinctive language he commands so effortlessly: precise yet evocative, clear-eyed and down-to-earth, yet shimmering with the mutability and mystery of art.&rdquo; &mdash;The Boston Globe&ldquo;Eloquent . . . Oliver has some of the wry comic haplessness of a Beckett character . . . enveloping.&rdquo; &mdash;The Wall Street Journal &#160; &ldquo;Banville&rsquo;s sentences shine. The humble becomes memorable.&rdquo; &mdash;Minneapolis Star Tribune &#160; &ldquo;Elegant and affecting.&rdquo; &mdash;The Times Literary Supplement&ldquo;[Banville] shows himself, once again, as one of contemporary literature&rsquo;s finest and most expert witnesses. . . What enraptures&mdash;always&mdash;is the writing itself. He holds words up to the light as carefully as any watchmaker or poet.&rdquo; &mdash;The Observer &#160; &ldquo;A literary event to be savored and celebrated. . . . [A] brilliant effort punctuated with words and phrases that make life just a little more enjoyable in the reading. . . . Reading John Banville is truly good for the soul.&rdquo; &mdash;The Free Lance-Star (Fredericksburg) &#160; &ldquo;Stirring. . . Densely alliterative and purposely playful prose.&rdquo; &mdash;Financial Times &#160; &ldquo;Banville, the Nabokov of contemporary lit, can turn even a straightforward comeuppance tale into breathtaking literary art. . . . At times, [his] prose seems drunk with the sheer joy of describing a vibrantly strange world in perfectly knit sentences.&rdquo; &mdash;Richmond Times-Dispatch &#160; &ldquo;The best of literature, rich, lush and moving. . . . Every page is jewelled with startlingly evocative images. [Banville&rsquo;s] prose is a feast for all the senses. . . . His first-person narration sweeps like a lighthouse beam from present to past and back again, illuminating the dark with a pitiless glare.&rdquo; &mdash;The Independent&#160;on Sunday (London) &#160; &ldquo;The reader is carried along by [Ollie&rsquo;s] wonderfully narcissistic voice.&rdquo; &mdash;The New Yorker &#160; &ldquo;Ingenious and moving. . . . This engrossing and often beautiful novel is a true work of art that rewards careful reading.&rdquo; &mdash;The Daily Telegraph (London) &#160; &ldquo;[Banville] is in love with language, eloquent, witty and a master of illuminating description.&rdquo; &mdash;The Post and Courier (Charleston) &#160;&ldquo;Superb. . . . A remarkable work of literary art: subtle, resonant, whimsical and deeply touching by turns, the work of a great prose stylist with a masterly command of cultural history. . . . [Banville is] the most accomplished stylist writing in English in our time.&rdquo; &mdash;Sydney Morning Herald &#160; &ldquo;Moving, entertaining, edifying and affirmative. . . . The Blue Guitar is a remarkable achievement: the work of a writer who knows not only about pain and eloquence, but about the consolations of learning how to think, to look and to listen.&rdquo; &mdash;The National (UAE) &#160; &ldquo;Banville is such a fine architect of sentences&mdash;infusing them with wit and yearning&mdash;that the plot hardly matters. For what a brilliant navel-gazer Banville is: he creates loop-de-loops of self-absorbed prose that resonate so deeply about the human condition that they never become tiresome. Bon mots fill these pages, every one essential.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly (starred)

&ldquo;A remarkable collection of observations, aphorisms, and grandfatherly advice . . .&rdquo; &mdash;Annals of Internal Medicine &#160; &ldquo;David Mendel was an exceptionally talented individual, a polymath whose career was never confined to his profession of cardiology&hellip;As skilled with his tongue and pen as he was with a stethoscope . . . Mendel was a superlative teacher of medical students . . . His informal and easy style of writing did not disguise the wisdom and humanity of the content.&rdquo; &mdash;Desmond Julian, The Independent &#160; &ldquo;Proper Doctoring is a gem for physicians, future physicians, and clinicians of all types. Written in small paragraphs, it presents advice to practitioners, much like the old fashioned homily, and contains many brief examples and aphorisms. . . . The reviewer recommends the book for its grace, honesty, and integrity.&rdquo; &mdash;American Psychological Association &#160; &ldquo;Good doctors are often too busy to write such a book and we are fortunate that someone of Mendel&rsquo;s stature has taken the time and trouble to do so. None of us should be too busy to read it.&rdquo; &mdash;David Hay, Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine

"Mira Rothenberg's insightful and unique ability to turn the suffering psyche into a landscape which must be entered and explored was fundamental to the understanding of mental illness I brought to A Beautiful Mind. She is also one hell of a mother."&#8212;Akiva Goldsman, Rothenberg's son, and Academy Award winner, Best Adapted Screenplay, for A Beautiful Mind"Vivid and profoundly moving...I found myself looking at the ordinary children I know with renewed respect and wonder...The line of separation, this book teaches us, is very thin indeed."&#8212;Henry Mayer, The New York Times Book Review
