]]> Cine de los 70 40211278 The Birth of the Blockbuster
How the prodigies of the 1970s revolutionized cinema

The 1970s: that magical era betwixt the swinging 60s and the decadent 80s, the epoch of leisure suits and Afros, the age of disco music and platform shoes. As war raged on in Vietnam and the cold war continued to escalate, Hollywood began to heat up, recovering from its commercial crisis with box-office successes such as Star Wars, Jaws, The Exorcist, and The Godfather. Thanks to directors like Spielberg and Lucas, American cinema gave birth to a new phenomenon: the blockbuster. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, while the Nouvelle Vague died out in France, its influence extended to Germany, where the New German Cinema of Fassbinder, Wenders, and Herzog had its heyday. The sexual revolution made its way to the silver screen (cautiously in the US, more freely in Europe) most notably in Bertolucci s steamy, scandalous Last Tango in Paris. Amidst all this came a wave of nostalgic films (The Sting, American Graffiti) and Vietnam pictures (Apocalypse Now, The Deer Hunter), the rise of the anti-hero (Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman), and the prestigious short-lived genre, blaxploitation.

The Origins of Totalitarianism begins with the rise of anti-Semitism in central and western Europe in the 1800s and continues with an examination of European colonial imperialism from 1884 to the outbreak of World War I. Arendt explores the institutions and operations of totalitarian movements, focusing on the two genuine forms of totalitarian government in our time鈥擭azi Germany and Stalinist Russia鈥攚hich she adroitly recognizes were two sides of the same coin, rather than opposing philosophies of Right and Left. From this vantage point, she discusses the evolution of classes into masses, the role of propaganda in dealing with the nontotalitarian world, the use of terror, and the nature of isolation and loneliness as preconditions for total domination.]]> 527 Hannah Arendt Zirlo 0 to-read 4.30 1951 The Origins of Totalitarianism

El libro Su obra, del famoso fil贸sofo holand茅s Baruch de Spinoza (1632 - 1677) heredero cr铆tico del cartesianismo y considerado uno de los tres grandes racionalistas de la filosof铆a del siglo XVII nos ofrece su obra 脡tica demostrada seg煤n el orden geom茅trico y Tratado de la reforma del entendimiento.
脡tica demostrada seg煤n el orden geom茅trico es la obra m谩s conocida y considerado el mejor escrito filos贸fico de Spinoza .En la 脡tica demostrada seg煤n el orden geom茅trico, Spinoza trata de demostrar un "sistema filos贸fico plenamente coherente que se esfuerza por ofrecer una imagen coherente de la realidad y por comprender el significado de una vida 茅tica. Siguiendo un formato l贸gico paso por paso, definido en torno de la naturaleza de Dios, la mente, la servidumbre humana a las emociones y el poder de la comprensi贸n -- moviendo desde la consideraci贸n de lo eterno, a especular sobre el lugar de la humanidad en el orden natural, libertad y el camino a la felicidad posible".
Y Tratado de la reforma del entendimiento, de Spinoza nos da su profunda visi贸n filos贸fica sobre la concepci贸n de su m茅todo, cuya l贸gica se ejercitar谩 sin discutirse expl铆citamente en la 芦脡tica禄.


Este libro incluye:
De dios.
De la naturaleza y el origen del alma.
El origen y naturaleza de los afectos.
De la servidumbre humana, o de la fuerza de los afectos.
Del poder del entendimiento de la libertad humana.

Terminada en Cracovia en septiembre de 1948, y ambientada en los primeros meses de la invasi贸n de Polonia por los nazis, El hospital de la transfiguraci贸n narra la historia de Stefan Trzyniecki, un joven doctor que encuentra empleo en un hospital psiqui谩trico enclavado en un bosque remoto, un lugar que parece 芦fuera del mundo禄. Pero, poco a poco, la locura del exterior va filtr谩ndose entre los muros del hospital. Una serie de s谩dicos doctores, compa帽eros de Trzyniecki, se entregan a atroces experimentos con los enfermos mentales internados en el centro, mientras los nazis, que peinan los bosques en busca de partisanos, deciden convertir el sanatorio en un hospital de las SS.]]> 336 Stanis艂aw Lem 8493592765 Zirlo 5
La vida es una constante repetici贸n que se evapora con el cerrar de los ojos y condensa con el despertar del individuo. El alma es aquello que da continuidad a la humanidad, art铆fice del pensamiento y reminiscencia de lo perdido, creadora de su historia y reproductora de su memoria. Si bien el alma transmigra de un estado a otro, o a una potencia aguardando realizar lo ideal; las letras son el medio por el cual obtienen permanencia est谩tica. En ellas conlleva toda la historia cargada hasta el momento de su grabado.

El hospital de la transfiguraci贸n, primer obra in茅dita de Stanislaw Lem, revela el punto de fusi贸n entre sus dudas existenciales con las banalidades de la tierra. Su obra, adem谩s de ser un viaje al pasado hist贸rico, tambi茅n es un viaje al pasado de un individuo; al v贸rtice de su metamorfosis de hombre de ciencia a hombre literato. Este escrito refleja a un sujeto con bastante experiencia y estudios, tanto de lo f铆sico como lo inmaterial, pero enfrascado en un mundo con maldad sin soluci贸n. Los pasajes de este libro brindan un peque帽o vistazo al ser que est谩 a punto de abrir puerta a un lugar en el cual todo puede resolverse, trat谩ndose de una mente tan prodigiosa como la de 茅l: al campo de la ciencia ficci贸n. Aunque la obra se encuentra alejada de esa rama, no demerita su habilidad literaria, adem谩s, su tecnicismo m茅dico genera una lectura completamente realista que al combinarse con su mordaz recurso ling眉铆stico, resulta en un recorrido extrasensorial por los versos de su novela.

Todo comienza en una noche en Polonia, con un viaje en tren, pero no cualquier tren, 茅ste es la conexi贸n entre el mundo fantasioso y el real. Stefan el personaje principal vive en un manicomio, dentro del bosque pero no tan lejos de casa. La vida en el hospital es un mundo completamente irreal, que gracias a habilidad psicol贸gica y descriptiva del autor, nos permite vagar con vivacidad en las mentes surreales de doctores y pacientes. El tren es la conexi贸n con su lugar de origen, Nieczawy, ciudad en donde los estragos de la segunda guerra mundial siguen al asecho. Ambientada durante la invasi贸n de los Nazis a Polonia y censurada por ser considerada contrarrevolucionaria, la obra transmite en cada p谩gina el choque de dos mundos: el del hospital y el de fuera, locos contra sensatos, nazis contra jud铆os.

Jean-Pierre Vernant has devoted himself to the study of Greek mythology. In recounting these tales, he unravels for us their multiple meanings and brings to life the beloved figures of legend whose narratives lie at the origin of our civilization. With remarkable psychological acuity, Vernant presents a picture of the world as the Greeks understood it. The relationship between the human and the divine -- realms that have always been intimately connected -- and their place within a world of potent natural forces are evoked effortlessly in a narrative that retains the magical quality of myth and reads with the compelling momentum of a good novel.]]> 224 Jean-Pierre Vernant 0060197757 Zirlo 3 4.02 1999 The Universe, the Gods, and Men

]]> 驴Qu茅 es la filosof铆a? 118313
La filosof铆a no es contemplaci贸n, ni reflexi贸n, ni comunicaci贸n. Es la actividad que crea los conceptos, afirman Deleuze y Guattari. 驴C贸mo se distingue de sus rivales, que pretenden proveernos de conceptos (como la mercadotecnia en la actualidad)? La filosof铆a tiene que decirnos cu谩l es la naturaleza creativa del concepto y cu谩les son sus concomitantes: la mera inmanencia, el plano de inmanencia y los personajes conceptuales.

Con ello, la filosof铆a se diferencia de la ciencia y de la l贸gica. 脡stas no se rigen por conceptos sino por funciones, en un plano de referencia y con observadores parciales. El arte se rige por preceptos y afectos, en un plano de composici贸n de figuras est茅ticas. La filosof铆a no es interdisciplinaria; es, en s铆 misma, una disciplina completa que entra en resonancia con la ciencia y con el arte, como 茅stos con ella: encontrar el concepto de una funci贸n, etc.

Lo que sucede es que los tres planos son las tres maneras que tiene el cerebro de coincidir con el caos y de afrontarlo. Se trata de los Caiodes. El pensamiento s贸lo puede constituirse en esta relaci贸n en la que siempre corre el peligro de abismarse.]]> 224 Gilles Deleuze 8433913646 Zirlo 0 4.21 1991 驴Qu茅 es la filosof铆a?

Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts, and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus, the murderous Medea, and, of course, wily Odysseus.

But there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone, and Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods, ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians. To protect what she loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and choose, once and for all, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from or with the mortals she has come to love.]]> 393 Madeline Miller 0316556343 Zirlo 0 to-read 4.22 2018 Circe

Complementary and alternative approaches to health and medicine have become increasingly widespread as the limits of conventional treatments become more apparent.聽 Holistic聽Anatomy聽 presents an authoritative study of anatomy, physiology, and pathology, but it expands the discussion by connecting the science of the body to a variety of alternative modalities to explore how human beings exist within鈥攁nd interact with鈥攖heir environment, and how they experience existence in emotional and spiritual terms.

Author and massage therapist Pip Waller interweaves basic scientific terminology and detailed descriptions with informal鈥攁nd sometimes humorous鈥攐bservations, facts, and ideas about life. The mechanisms, structure, and functions of the body are explored, along with how they relate to spiritual and energetic paradigms, emotions, and ecological principles. The first half of the book covers basic anatomy and physiology, describing each major system of the body and how they interrelate. This part includes a thoughtful discussion of aging and the dying process. The second half focuses on models of health and disease, both traditional and holistic. Topics include western pathology, emotional health, five element medicine, and the spiritual cause for disease.]]> 416 Pip Waller 1556438656 Zirlo 0 to-read 4.25 2008 Holistic Anatomy: An Integrative Guide to the Human Body

]]> <![CDATA[The Structure of Scientific Revolutions]]> 61539 The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is that kind of book. When it was first published in 1962, it was a landmark event in the history and philosophy of science. Fifty years later, it still has many lessons to teach.

With The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Kuhn challenged long-standing linear notions of scientific progress, arguing that transformative ideas don鈥檛 arise from the day-to-day, gradual process of experimentation and data accumulation but that the revolutions in science, those breakthrough moments that disrupt accepted thinking and offer unanticipated ideas, occur outside of 鈥渘ormal science,鈥� as he called it. Though Kuhn was writing when physics ruled the sciences, his ideas on how scientific revolutions bring order to the anomalies that amass over time in research experiments are still instructive in our biotech age.

This new edition of Kuhn鈥檚 essential work in the history of science includes an insightful introduction by Ian Hacking, which clarifies terms popularized by Kuhn, including paradigm and incommensurability, and applies Kuhn鈥檚 ideas to the science of today. Usefully keyed to the separate sections of the book, Hacking鈥檚 introduction provides important background information as well as a contemporary context. 聽Newly designed, with an expanded index, this edition will be eagerly welcomed by the next generation of readers seeking to understand the history of our perspectives on science.]]> 226 Thomas S.

]]> <![CDATA[A Little History of Philosophy (Little Histories)]]> 11527504
In forty brief chapters, Nigel Warburton guides us on a chronological tour of the major ideas in the history of philosophy. He provides interesting and often quirky stories of the lives and deaths of thought-provoking philosophers from Socrates, who chose to die by hemlock poisoning rather than live on without the freedom to think for himself, to Peter Singer, who asks the disquieting philosophical and ethical questions that haunt our own times.

Warburton not only makes philosophy accessible, he offers inspiration to think, argue, reason, and ask in the tradition of Socrates. A Little History of Philosophy presents the grand sweep of humanity's search for philosophical understanding and invites all to join in the discussion.]]> 252 Nigel Warburton 0300152086 Zirlo 0 to-read 4.12 2011 A Little History of Philosophy (Little Histories)

]]> <![CDATA[Nueva historia m铆nima de M茅xico]]> 2437975 El Colegio de M茅xico public贸 en 1973 una primera version de la Historia m铆nima de M茅xico con el fin de proporcionar la dosis m铆nima de conocimiento hist贸rico requerido por cualquier mexicano de entonces. En esa peque帽a obra participaron cinco autores que plasmaron lo que en el momento se consideraba la visi贸n mas sint茅tica y acertada del pasado de este pa铆s. Ediciones posteriores incorporaron un estudio adicional de los a帽os recientes, pero la obra permaneci贸 basicamente inalterada hasta la llegada del siglo XXI.
Sin apartarse del proposito de concrecion y sencillez que guio a la vieja Historia m铆nima de M茅xico, la presente es una obra completamente nueva: nueva por sus siete autores, por su divisi贸n tematica, por sus planteamientos, por su explicaci贸n, por su cobertura m谩s amplia y, sobre todo, por su visi贸n m谩s moderna y mejor fundada -tanto como lo permite el conocimiento m谩s avanzado y perfeccionado de que disponemos en estos primeros anos del siglo XXI.
La Nueva historia m铆nima de M茅xico es, a la vez, una historia no s贸lo nueva sino tambi茅n innovadora. El lector encontrar谩 en sus p谩ginas perspectivas y explicaciones que le permitir谩n un conocimiento b谩sico y ameno de la historia de M茅xico.

El mundo y sus demonios es m谩s personal y est谩 m谩s lleno de historias humanas entra帽ables y reveladoras que todo lo escrito por Sagan anteriormente. El autor, con las experiencias de su propia infancia y la apasionante historia de los descubrimientos de la ciencia, muestra c贸mo el metodo del pensamiento racional puede superar prejuicios y superticiones para dejar al descubierto la verdad, que, con frecuencia, resulta sorprendente.

Desenmascara de forma convincente las 芦abducciones por extraterrestres禄, los 芦canalizadores禄, el fraude de los curanderos, la 芦cara en Marte禄, entre otras muchas falacias. Rechaza, asimismo, la idea de que la ciencia destruye la espiritualidad o de que es otro sistema arbitrario de creencias. Se pregunta por qu茅 la actividad cient铆fica suele ser hoy estigmatizada, discute los peligros de utilizar mal la ciencia y proporciona un 芦m茅todo de detecci贸n de camelos禄 en el pensamiento pol铆tico, social y religioso.

Controvertido, provocador y sugestivo, El mundo y sus demonios ser谩 sin duda un libro del que se hablar谩 y discutir谩 con pasi贸n.]]> 504 Carl Sagan 8408060155 Zirlo 4 4.39 1995 El mundo y sus demonios. La ciencia como una luz en la oscuridad

Autobiography of a Yogi is at once a beautifully written account of an exceptional life and a profound introduction to the ancient science of Yoga and its time-honored tradition of meditation. The author clearly explains the subtle but definite laws behind both the ordinary events of everyday life and the extraordinary events commonly termed miracles. His absorbing life story thus becomes the background for a penetrating and unforgettable look at the ultimate mysteries of human existence.

Considered a modern spiritual classic, the book has been translated into more than twenty languages and is widely used as a text and reference work in colleges and universities. A perennial bestseller since it was first published sixty years ago, Autobiography of a Yogi has found its way into the hearts of millions of readers around the world.]]> 503 Paramahansa Yogananda 0876120834 Zirlo 4 the-observers, to-read 4.22 1946 Autobiography of a Yogi

]]> <![CDATA[The Order of Things: An Archaeology of the Human Sciences]]> 119561 Librarian note: an alternate cover for this edition can be found here.

With vast erudition, Foucault cuts across disciplines and reaches back into seventeenth century to show how classical systems of knowledge, which linked all of nature within a great chain of being and analogies between the stars in the heavens and the features in a human face, gave way to the modern sciences of biology, philology, and political economy. The result is nothing less than an archaeology of the sciences that unearths old patterns of meaning and reveals the shocking arbitrariness of our received truths.

In the work that established him as the most important French thinker since Sartre, Michel Foucault offers startling evidence that 鈥渕an鈥濃攎an as a subject of scientific knowledge鈥攊s at best a recent invention, the result of a fundamental mutation in our culture.]]> 416 Michel Foucault 0679753354 Zirlo 0 to-read 4.12 1966 The Order of Things: An Archaeology of the Human Sciences

]]> Critique of Pure Reason 18288 'The purpose of this critique of pure speculative reason consists in the attempt to change the old procedure of metaphysics and to bring about a complete revolution'

Kant's Critique of Pure Reason (1781) is the central text of modern philosophy. It presents a profound and challenging investigation into the nature of human reason, its knowledge and its illusions. Reason, Kant argues, is the seat of certain concepts that precede experience and make it possible, but we are not therefore entitled to draw conclusions about the natural world from these concepts. The Critique brings together the two opposing schools of philosophy: rationalism, which grounds all our knowledge in reason, and empiricism, which traces all our knowledge to experience. Kant's transcendental idealism indicates a third way that goes far beyond these alternatives.]]> 785 Immanuel Kant 0521657296 Zirlo 0 3.95 1781 Critique of Pure Reason

]]> Thus Spoke Zarathustra 51893 Thus Spoke Zarathustra is translated from the German by R.J. Hollingdale in Penguin Classics.

Nietzsche was one of the most revolutionary and subversive thinkers in Western philosophy, and Thus Spoke Zarathustra remains his most famous and influential work. It describes how the ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra descends from his solitude in the mountains to tell the world that God is dead and that the Superman, the human embodiment of divinity, is his successor. Nietzsche's utterance 'God is dead', his insistence that the meaning of life is to be found in purely human terms, and his doctrine of the Superman and the will to power were all later seized upon and unrecognisably twisted by, among others, Nazi intellectuals. With blazing intensity and poetic brilliance, Nietzsche argues that the meaning of existence is not to be found in religious pieties or meek submission to authority, but in an all-powerful life passionate, chaotic and free.]]> 327 Friedrich Nietzsche Zirlo 0 the-observers 4.10 1883 Thus Spoke Zarathustra

His commitment to the search for a comprehensive understanding of everything inspired, among others, Nietzsche, Marx, Freud, Einstein, and Althusser. The Radical Enlightenment has been laid largely at his feet. Recent discoveries in the neurosciences suggest his biological understanding of the emotions may have been correct. It was upon this prescient naturalistic scientific foundation that he developed a new approach to ethics.

Yet the last words in the Ethics sound a note of caution, even of warning: "All things excellent are as difficult as they are rare." Time is finally catching up with him. The study of his philosophy is worth the effort, capturing contemporary scientific imagination & ethical sensibility.

]]> The Observing One 15861180
As exquisitely and descriptively as one may talk about "What beauty is", ultimately its meaning can be as diverse and numerous as its admirers. Yet no matter how infinitely various its expressions and experience may be, the concept of beauty will always remain one.

In a much similar way, although God can be defined in as many different ways as His manifestations, by essence He is One. It is this Oneness, expressed in diverse ways, hence bringing about the seeming multiplicities, that is denoted by the title The Observing One.

In other words, the Observing One is the essence of all the multitudinous manifestations in the corporeal world, and His infinitely various expressions is His act of observing Himself.

This act of observing, according to Ahmed Hulusi, is what each individual should strive to experience. That is, to experience God, one must realize the illusionary nature of the constructed self and disable its interference, thereby becoming a conduit of God's interminable acts.

Ahmed Hulusi profoundly deconstructs both the idea of a God up in the heavens, and His representative deities on earth, and urges his readers to embark on an inward quest to discover "God within". Compiled mostly of recorded conversations made in 1989, this book is a notable example of the author's ingenious and unconventional construal of classical religious teachings.

Anyone, who has a spiritual yearning and an appetite for mysticism and who at the same time is an unfaltering intellectualist, is bound to enjoy reading this book. Integrating Islamic theology, in particular the esoteric teachings of Sufism, with the findings of modern science, this book enables the reader to observe the universe within.

A few things the reader should take into consideration while reading this book:

1. Although God transcendentally surpasses any gender, the masculine pronoun 'He' has been employed in this book, not only because using 'It' would be inappropriate and disrespectful, but also because 'He' is the closest realistic translation of the Arabic word 'Hu', which has no connotation of gender when used in reference to the Divine.

2. The Names of God referenced throughout the book should not be understood as titles of God, but rather as the intrinsic qualities of the Essence of existence from which the infinite modalities of the manifest world are derived.

Allah, being the Supreme Name, encompasses all of these qualities and attributes -both the manifest and the unexpressed- and is used in this book to denote this reality, rather than "a god" out there that is separate from the cosmos. In this light, the word God is deliberately avoided in this book and the original name Allah, as mentioned in the Quran, is used instead.

However, just as it is true for the word "God", the word "Allah" also holds predetermined notions of "an external god" and this is inescapable for many people. Due to this, the author frequently uses phrases like "the existence that is denoted by the name Allah" to draw the readers' attention to the fact that Allah is merely a name indicating an infinite existence beyond all preconceived and preconditioned ideas. Thus, it is this existence that the reader is encouraged to contemplate, in reference to the name Allah.]]> 108 Ahmed Hulusi 0615636640 Zirlo 4 the-observers 4.25 2011 The Observing One

]]> Become What You Are 60553
It has been said that the highest wisdom consists in detachment鈥攏ot regretting the past nor fearing the future, letting life take its course without attempting to interfere with its movements and changes, without seeking to prolong pleasant things or hasten the end of unpleasant ones. To do this is to enter time with life and be in complete harmony with its changing melody, which is called enlightenment. In short, it means detaching yourself from both the past and the future and living in the eternal now. Life exists only in this single moment, and it is precisely in this moment that it is infinite and eternal.

Alan Watts is one of the foremost authorities on Eastern wisdom. It was he who, in the middle of the last century, built a bridge between the West and the East, introducing the Western reader to Eastern philosophy and culture. Alan Watts is a scholar of both Zen Buddhism and Indian and Chinese spiritual traditions.]]> 144 Alan W. Watts 1570629404 Zirlo 4 4.06 1955 Become What You Are

From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village.

]]> <![CDATA[Tesla: Inventor of the Electrical Age]]> 17130499 The definitive account of Tesla's life and work

Nikola Tesla was a major contributor to the electrical revolution that transformed daily life at the turn of the twentieth century. His inventions, patents, and theoretical work formed the basis of modern AC electricity, and contributed to the development of radio and television. Like his competitor Thomas Edison, Tesla was one of America's first celebrity scientists, enjoying the company of New York high society and dazzling the likes of Mark Twain with his electrical demonstrations. An astute self-promoter and gifted showman, he cultivated a public image of the eccentric genius. Even at the end of his life when he was living in poverty, Tesla still attracted reporters to his annual birthday interview, regaling them with claims that he had invented a particle-beam weapon capable of bringing down enemy aircraft.

Plenty of biographies glamorize Tesla and his eccentricities, but until now none has carefully examined what, how, and why he invented. In this groundbreaking book, W. Bernard Carlson demystifies the legendary inventor, placing him within the cultural and technological context of his time, and focusing on his inventions themselves as well as the creation and maintenance of his celebrity. Drawing on original documents from Tesla's private and public life, Carlson shows how he was an idealist inventor who sought the perfect experimental realization of a great idea or principle, and who skillfully sold his inventions to the public through mythmaking and illusion.

This major biography sheds new light on Tesla's visionary approach to invention and the business strategies behind his most important technological breakthroughs.]]> 520 W. Bernard Carlson 0691057761 Zirlo 5 3.88 2013 Tesla: Inventor of the Electrical Age

]]> El Miedo 3490772 Angst ist eine Grundbedingung unserer Existenz. Lebendig sein hei脽t sich aussetzen, die Unsicherheit des Lebens und das Bedrohtsein durch den Tod zulassen. Osho zeigt auf, wie wir unseren Mut zum Umgang mit der Angst st盲rken k枚nnen, statt uns von ihr blockieren zu lassen. Auf der beiliegenden CD wird eine gef眉hrte Meditation angeboten, die die H枚rer mit der inneren Geborgenheit in Kontakt bringt.]]> 152 Osho 9584504525 Zirlo 3 the-observers 3.91 2007 El Miedo

]]> La sociedad del espect谩culo 17262013 Guy Debord

芦La sociedad del espect谩culo禄 es uno de los retratos m谩s agudos, despiadados y penetrantes de la sociedad contempor谩nea de cuantos se han hecho hasta hoy y constituye la obra fundamental de Guy Debord (1931-1994), quien a su vez ha sido el principal agente de un movimiento de agitaci贸n cultural conocido como situacionismo, que plante贸 algunas de las propuestas m谩s radicales, tanto en el terreno de la pol铆tica como en el de la cultura, de las que se han sostenido en Europa despu茅s de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Voluntariamente alejado del mercado de las modas intelectuales, su obra, a pesar de haber tenido una divulgaci贸n escasa o irregular, no ha dejado de ejercer una importante 鈥揳unque a veces secreta o silenciada- influencia en los debates de nuestro tiempo. Su vocaci贸n de clandestinidad y su intransigencia frente a los totalitarismos le llevaron a elaborar una teor铆a cr铆tica que hoy, en pleno imperio de lo pol铆tico y culturalmente correcto, ha vuelto a cobrar una merecida e intempestiva actualidad.]]> 184 Guy Debord 8481914428 Zirlo 5 blow-your-mind 3.94 1967 La sociedad del espect谩culo

]]> <![CDATA[The World as Will and Representation, Volume I]]> 19506 Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung is one of the most important philosophical works of the nineteenth century, the basic statement of one important stream of post-Kantian thought. It is without question Schopenhauer's greatest work. Conceived and published before the philosopher was 30 and expanded 25 years later, it is the summation of a lifetime of thought.

For 70 years, the only unabridged English translation of this work was the Haldane-Kemp collaboration. In 1958, a new translation by E. F. J. Payne appeared that decisively supplanted the older one. Payne's translation is superior because it corrects nearly 1,000 errors and omissions in the Haldane-Kemp translation, and it is based on the definitive 1937 German edition of Schopenhauer's work prepared by Dr. Arthur H眉bscher. Payne's edition is the first to translate into English the text's many quotations in half a dozen languages. It is thus the most useful edition for the student or teacher.]]> 534 Arthur Schopenhauer 0486217612 Zirlo 5 blow-your-mind 4.21 1818 The World as Will and Representation, Volume I

]]> Germinal 28407
Etienne Lantier, an unemployed railway worker, is a clever but uneducated young man with a dangerous temper. Forced to take a back-breaking job at Le Voreux mine when he cannot get other work, he discovers that his fellow miners are ill, hungry, in debt, and unable to feed and clothe their families. When conditions in the mining community deteriorate even further, Lantier finds himself leading a strike that could mean starvation or salvation for all.
