Nuestras vidas son un flujo interminable de acciones que implican «cuándo»: cuándo emprender un negocio, programar una clase, comprometerse, cambiar de trabajo... Sin embargo, tomamos esas decisiones basándonos en la intuición y en las conjeturas. Creemos que elegir el momento adecuado es un arte, pero en realidad, tal y como demuestra Daniel H. Pink en este audiolibro, se trata de toda una ciencia.

What would happen if our world turned into a computer game? It might sound tempting at first, but there's one small detail you should know: in this game, people are nothing but non-playable characters, useful only for the service they provide to the real players. Experience, development, loot, levels—none of that is for us. Our role is merely to dance to the tune of our masters, who have come to our world to turn it into a character farm and a space for their own entertainment.

This book tells the story of Kazuo Odachi who—in 1943, when he was just 16 years-old—joined the Imperial Japanese Navy to become a pilot. A year later, he was unknowingly assigned to the Kamikaze Special Attack Corps—a group of airmen whose mission was to sacrifice their lives by crashing planes into enemy ships. Their call sign was "ten dead, zero alive." This book offers a new perspective on these infamous suicide pilots. It is not a chronicle of war, nor is it a collection of research papers compiled by scholars. It is a transcript of Odachi's words.

Seit sie die Tür zur scheinbar winzigen Hütte ihres Onkels geöffnet hat, stolpert Charmain von einer Katastrophe in die nächste. Ein extrem magischer streunender Hund, ein verwirrter Zauberlehrling und ein erboster Clan von kleinen blauen Kreaturen sind ihre geringsten Probleme, als der König eine wahrhaft furchterregende Zauberin zu Hilfe ruft, um einen sagenumwobenen Schatz zu finden: Denn wo die mächtige Sophie auftaucht, sind der Zauberer Howl und der Feuerdämon Calcifer nicht weit, das weiß jeder.

How to Have Willpower brings together two profound ancient meditations on how to overcome pressures that encourage us to act against our own best interests—Plutarch's essay On Dysopia or How to Resist Pressure and Prudentius's poetic allegory Psychomachia or How to Slay Your Demons. Challenging the idea that humans are helpless victims of vice, these works—introduced and presented in vivid, accessible new prose translations by Michael Fontaine—emphasize the power of personal choice and the possibility of personal growth, as they offer insights and practical advice about resisting temptation.

Inspired by the mythic house of Thebes, Sophocles’s defining Greek tragedies follow the fates that befall three doomed generations.

Esta novela fue publicada por primera vez en 1906, y su repentino éxito dio a conocer al mundo a una autora que a lo largo de su prolífica carrera demostró en numerosas ocasiones un innato talento narrativo y un mordaz compromiso por la causa de la emancipación de la mujer, ambos plasmados con excepcional fuerza en este libro. Su carga reivindicativa y su valiente denuncia contra la opresión machista hacen de Una mujer una de las primeras novelas feministas aparecidas en Italia y en Europa, y de su autora una pionera adelantada a su contexto literario y social.

De El cuaderno gris es mucho lo que puede asombrar: una conversación cazada al vuelo en un café; una sentencia (casi un aforismo) oída o pronunciada como por casualidad, capaz de condensar el sentimiento de toda una época; la sucinta y emotiva descripción de un paisaje; descarnados apuntes de crítica literaria; un afilado juicio político, hilvanado en medio de consideraciones sobre el tiempo, la higiene, la salud, las mujeres o la gastronomía....

Ivan, an atheist and brooding intellectual; Dmitri, a volatile sensualist and his father's rival for the beautiful Grushenka; and Alexey, driven by unshakeable piety. In their shadow is their rejected half-brother, humiliated into servitude. Together they act to rid themselves of the dissolute Karamazov patriarch. Then, in a single shocking act, the fates of the brothers are inexorably altered.

Hi ha una manera de definir El misantrop: el món contra mi, i, si convé, jo contra el món. Si algú em porta un sonet que és més dolent que el pebre, en nom de què podria afalagar-lo? Si em jutgen perquè he dit allò que havia de dir, per què hauria de buscar algú que recomanés la meva innocència al tribunal? Que tinc raó és clar: que em jutgin, doncs, i demostrin si són al costat de la veritat o amb l'interès que sembla moure-ho tot en el món dels homes. O amb mi o contra mi, amb la raó o contra la raó.
