The shocking new memoir from Death At last, the mysterious, feared, and misunderstood being known only as “Death” talks frankly…
and unforgettably about his infinitely awful existence. Chronicling his abusive childhood, his near-fatal addiction to Life, his excruciating time in rehab, and the ultimate triumph of his true nature, this long-awaited autobiography finally reveals the inner story of one of the most troubling, and troubled, figures in history. For the first time, Death reveals his affairs with the living, his maltreatment at the hands of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the ungodly truth behind the infamous “Jesus Incident,” and the loneliness of being the End of All Things. Intense, unpredictable, and instantly engaging,Death: A Lifeis not only a story of triumph against all odds, but also a tender, moving tale of unconditional love in a universe that, despite its profound flaws, gave Death the fiery determination to carve out a successful existence on his own terms. DEATH was born in Hell, the only son of Satan and Sin. He was educated in the Palace of Pandemonium and the Garden of Eden. Since before the Dawn of Time, he has ushered souls into the darkness of eternity. This is his first book. From the Trade Paperback edition.By Janice Maynard. 2002

la sociedad y los obstáculos de la justicia. «Contemporáneo en su estilo breve y fragmentario -donde se cruzan diario, imágenes, géneros y lenguajes diversos-, esta novela lírica y vertiginosa revoluciona la no ficción en sus formas y temas».Gabriela Cabezón Cámara Después de un año sin noticias, una llamada desde la Fiscalía anuncia que, finalmente, la denuncia por abuso sexual ha sido elevada a juicio. Esa mañana invernal comienza para la narradora otro duro proceso: encontrar representación legal, entender las lógicas burocráticas de la Justicia, tejer redes de apoyo para afrontar la causa contra su tío, un comisario poderoso, y juntar coraje para reabrir un expediente que lleva al pasado familiar. Sin demagogias, Belén López Peiró revisa los contornos difusos de los recuerdos; ensaya respuestas al agobio de audiencias humillantes e indaga en los laberintos de los juicios por jurado. Donde no hago pie profundiza el proyecto literario de Por qué volvías cada verano, antecedente clave de miles de denuncias anónimas y otras de enorme repercusión mediática. Con un ritmo avasallante, esta crónica encuentra las palabras para transformar en acción política un delito que pretendía permanecer secreto. Sobre Por qué volvías cada verano, la crítica dijo: «Uno de los 18 mejores libros del año».Revista Rolling Stone «De una contundencia expresiva increíble».Mauro Libertella, La Agenda «Una de las autoras del año».Carolina Amoroso, TN «Uno de los textos más valientes y más crudos que apareció recientemente».Agustina Larrea, InfobaeBy Maire Claremont. 2014

In a competition of the most hated memes of modern times, "Hipster" has now caught up with "Hitler." Artists James…
Carr and Archana Kumar thought, why not combine the two? After all, Hitler was indeed a hipster of his time, a failed artist in Vienna scrounging up extra dollars or kroner painting quick architecture scenes for the tourists. In their heavily trafficked website, "hipsterhitler.com," these comic artists posit a new sort of history in which Hitler, wears Silverlake-trendy glasses, thrift store sweaters, and outspoken T-shirts, and the reader begins to quickly understand the history of Hitler in a new and strangely engaging way. The Feral House book of Hipster Hitler includes a few dozen pages of comics heretofore unseen online.By Candice Carty-Williams. 2019

The author of one of the greatest romance novels of all time, Pride and Prejudice, takes her readers on a…
satiric tour through England’s history, mercilessly exploiting the comedic potential of human foibles within British royalty. Part of Jane Austen’s Juvenilia of the 1790s, The History of England was written during the author’s teenage years. Filled with puns and parodies, the history begins with the reign of Henry IV and concludes with the death of Charles I more than two centuries later. Originally intending it for circulation and performance among family and friends, Jane also commissioned her sister Cassandra to draw illustrations to complement her signature wit and humor. This volume includes an informative introduction providing background context, along with extensive editorial commentary. Austen fans and history buffs are sure to delight in this history written by “a partial, prejudiced, and ignorant historian.”
