Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Cien Anos De Soledad'Book summary:Muchos años después, frente al pelotón de fusilamiento, el coronel Aureliano Buendía había de recordar aquella tarde remota en que su padre lo llevó a conocer el hielo .
Con estas palabras empieza una novela ya legendaria en los anales de la literatura universal, una de las aventuras literarias más fascinantes del siglo xx. Millones de ejemplares de Cien años de soledad leídos en todas las lenguas y el Premio Nobel de Literatura coronando una obra que se había abierto paso a boca a boca como gusta decir el escritor son la más palpable demostración de que la aventura fabulosa de la familia Buendía-Iguarán, con sus milagros, fantasías, obsesiones, tragedias, incestos, adulterios, rebeldías, descubrimientos y condenas, representaba al mismo tiempo el mito y la historia, la tragedia y el amor del mundo entero.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Dot.City: Ralationaler, Urbanismus und Neue Medien/Relational Urbanism and New Media'Book summary:Cell phones, automatic teller machines, and the Internet have incontrovertibly become part of our daily lives, indistinguishable from other components of our habitual everyday activity. Life does not seem to have been fundamentally changed by these hi-tech, information-giving tools of convenience--or has it? Have we, unawares, become accustomed to a new way of living? And how can designers make creative use of these new digital possibilities? This publication of the Fourth International Bauhaus Kolleg--a year-long thematic graduate session run by the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation--offers strategies for employing digital media to integrate the unpredictable and the unplanned into urban existence. Dot.City asks and answers many questions: Can the use of information and communication technology counteract the continuous processes of devaluation, the loss of urban identity, the lack of multifunctional networks? Can the activation and implementation of new social techniques of knowledge production compensate for missing economical impulses and functions? How do such processes generate new species of urban values? Is it possible to re-program local social resources using intelligent network technologies? What do urban action areas designed for this purpose look like? And how can urban information spheres and physical urban spaces penetrate each other? [via]

Masterpieces of Japanese Prints: Ukiyo-E from the Victoria and Albert Museumby Rupert Faulkner, B.W. Robinson, Victoria and Albert Museum, Richard LaneISBN 4770023871 (4-7700-2387-1)
Softcover, Kodansha Amer Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Masterpieces of Japanese Prints: Ukiyo-E from the Victoria and Albert Museum'Book summary:Ever since Japan opened its doors to the West in the latter half of the nineteenth century, Westerners have been fascinated by the exquisite art forms that flourished during the previous two hundred years of self-imposed isolation. Among the most intriguing were the bold yet refined paintings and prints known as ukiyo-e, which portrayed the popular pursuits of the time with extraordinary power. Such was the appeal of this unique art in the West that tens of thousands of superb prints eventually found their way into museum collections around the world.
The present volume highlights over 130 outstanding examples from the vast holdings of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Strikingly original and sumptuously colored, the ukiyo-e in these pages recapture the spirit of the period in which they were created. Here can be found the glamorous courtesans of the Yoshiwara pleasure quarters, the flamboyant vigor of kabuki theater, and the diversities of the Japanese landscape.
The prints form a breathtaking panorama of the world of ukiyo-e from its inception to its final flowering at the end of the nineteenth century. Complementary texts by Rupert Faulkner and Richard Lane illuminate the craft of woodblock print making and explore the emergence of such versatile geniuses as Hokusai and Hiroshige.
The lasting appeal of Japanese woodblock prints may be rooted in the richness of their imagery and the power of their innovation, or perhaps in their uncanny ability to convey the special vitality of Edo Japan. Whatever the case, this lavish volume seeks not only to pay homage to the Japanese artists and craftsmen who took the woodblock print to unprecedented heights, but also to show the range of this astonishingly versatile art form.

The third in this series of illustrated Japanese classics, The Tale of Genji again combines Miyata's captivating paper cut-outs with a modern retelling of a vintage story. This well-known tale of the amorous adventures of Prince Genji is widely considered world literature's first novel, and with its precise and poetic prose, it is also considered one of its finest.
Written with precision by a lady of the Japanese court, Genji's Don Juan-like clandestine rendezvous with lovers in their perfumed boudoirs or on mossy moonlit garden paths, continues to intrigue lovers of literature. What sets Genji apart from the typically carefree playboy is the intensity of his emotional attachment for each of his lovers. Long after an affair has ended, Genji continues to cherish the encounter. His is an age-old tale, as well as a poignant and brilliant portrait of Japan's ancient court life.

Hardcover, China Travel & Tourism Press
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Things Chinese: Zhongguo Feng Wu'Book summary:There must be a reason behind the writing of a book. In this case, the idea for writing Things Chinese was inspired by a French friend visiting China.
Our job enabled us to take many foreign friends on tours in China. During such tours they asked a lot of questions, such as why the Chinese eat dumplings, post portraits of the Gate Guardian God on their doors and let off firecrackers on New Year's Day. Why should the tiles that cover roofs in Beijing come in yellow, green or black? What do the animal figurines that perch on roof ridges symbolize? Why the stone turtles are burdened with stone tablets? What's the purpose of the ceremonial columns in front of Tian'anmen Gate? Twenty years ago, a French friend told us that during his travel in China be was keenly on traditional Chinese culture but found it difficult to understand. He suggested that we write a book on Chinese culture.
In 1994, the English edition of Things Chinese was published. It soon became a hit with our readers, and that was why the book was reprinted twice. However, occupied by work, we did not have time to come up with revised edition of the book.
Entering the new century the China Travel & Tourism Pressdecided to do a revised edition with more illustrations to give the book an entirely new look. Taking this opportunity we introduced 70 more Chinese cultural things in this book. So abundant is the Chinese culture and folklore that a single book like this can hardly cover both the width and depth of it. Given more opportunities, we will continue writing about it so as to do our humble bit for the dissemination of the Chinese culture.
We would like you to give us your valuable suggestions, so that we can make changes in the future. [via]

The Vivaha, the Hindu Marriage Samskarasby Ramacandra Prasada, Bhaiyaram SarmaISBN 8120811321 (81-208-1132-1)

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Vivaha, the Hindu Marriage Samskaras'Book summary:Ceremonial rites and rituals occupy a place of utmost importance in the life of a devout Hindu. In fact there are no vital actions-birth, initiation, marriage, death etc.-which can be allowed to the performed without its appropirate rite or samskara. The number of samskara has been fluctuating but was finally fixed at sixteen. Marriage is the most important and elaborate out of these sixteen samskaras. Manu enjoins that rituals should be performed in the case of a virgin for legalizing the marriage, legitimatizing children and avoiding public scandal.
The mantras used in the nuptial rites being in Sanskrit are beyond the comprehension of not only the average Hindu but even the common priests entrusted with the duty of conducting the rituals. To overcome this difficulty the present book was originally prepared in Hindi and is now translated into English with the mantras etc. romanized for the benefit of those who do not have adequate knowledge of Hindi, for example especially those whose forefathers had migrated to remote countries during the last one hundred years or so.

Ana Karenina/ Ana Kareninaby Leon TolstoiISBN 8426133975 (84-261-3397-5)
Softcover, Juventud
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Ana Karenina/ Ana Karenina'Book summary:La gran novela del conde Tolstoi narra el desarrollo de dos amores que se desenvuelven en paralelo. Anna Karénina, mujer de la alta sociedad enamorada del joven oficial Vronski, abandona a su esposo y a su hijo para seguir a su amante. A la vez que se nos hace crónica de estos amores desgraciados, la novela nos ofrece, en contrapunto, la apacible historia de amor de la hermana de Anna que se casa con un noble terrateniente para vivir dichoso en el campo. Con Anna Karénina, Tolstoi inicia una etapa de crisis moral que habría de conducirlo a nuevas posturas ideológicas y estéticas. Pero son esta narración de un adulterio en la alta sociedad rusa y su magistral Guerra y paz las novelas que lo han hecho pasar a la historia de la gran literatura mundial. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Cien Anos De Soledad/100 Years of Solitude'Book summary:Muchos años después, frente al pelotón de fusilamiento, el coronel Aureliano Buendía había de recordar aquella tarde remota en que su padre lo llevó a conocer el hielo .
Con estas palabras empieza una novela ya legendaria en los anales de la literatura universal, una de las aventuras literarias más fascinantes del siglo xx. Millones de ejemplares de Cien años de soledad leídos en todas las lenguas y el Premio Nobel de Literatura coronando una obra que se había abierto paso a boca a boca como gusta decir el escritor son la más palpable demostración de que la aventura fabulosa de la familia Buendía-Iguarán, con sus milagros, fantasías, obsesiones, tragedias, incestos, adulterios, rebeldías, descubrimientos y condenas, representaba al mismo tiempo el mito y la historia, la tragedia y el amor del mundo entero.

The three years are punctuated by the arrest and eventual trial of a young black man accused of raping a white woman.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Politica'Book summary:Compuesta entre el 330 y el 323 a.C., la POLÍTICA se puede considerar en lo esencial como una de las últimas obras de ARISTÓTELES (384-322 a.C.). En ella, el que fuera preceptor de Alejandro Magno y discípulo de Platón se erige en defensor de la «polis» tomando en consideración sus posibilidades históricas y sus grandes realizaciones civilizadoras. Frente al desarraigo y exacerbado individualismo dominantes en la Grecia de la época, y contra los que creen en el buen salvaje, Aristóteles hace hincapié en el carácter social del hombre -definido como «animal cívico»- y en el fundamento natural de la ciudad -anterior por naturaleza a la familia y aun a cada individuo-, valorándolos como un logro insuperable de la civilización griega frente a las rudas formaciones políticas de las tribus bárbaras.(*CR*) [via]
