María Hesse, traducida en 18 países y con más de 400.000 lectores, lleva su arte a la cumbre de su esplendor para plantarle cara al miedo 'Una obra de redención que exorciza las heridas a través de una prosa sincera y sin artificios y unos dibujos de alto colorido y sensualidad. Un emotivo trabajo cromático y semántico que contagia de esperanza. [...] Hesse ha desarrollado un estilo reconocible por los tonos vibrantes y el trazo curvilíneo y acuoso. Un efecto al que contribuye no solo su técnica, sino también un vocabulario plástico altamente sensitivo y feminista'.María Ovelar, SMODA (El País)< /P> 'Una de las ilustradoras con más personalidad que hay ahora mismo en España'.Más de uno (Onda Cero) ¿Cuál es el origen de nuestros miedos y cómo podemos exorcizarlos? En este libro, visceral y hermosísimo, María Hesse le planta cara a sus propios temores: los que la han acompañado a lo largo de su vida, como a tantas otras mujeres. Así, con un lenguaje íncreíblemente visual y alegórico, van desfilando por estas páginas la ansiedad, la manipulación, la precariedad, el cambio, la soledad, la locura, la maternidad, la vejez o la muerte en un libro que mezcla la autoficción, elementos de cómic y referencias literarias, poéticas y musicales. En El miedo, María Hesse renueva su estilo narrativo y artístico para confeccionar su obra más madura.La crítica ha dicho:'María Hesse, al desnudo en cuerpo y alma'.Pablo R. Roces, El Mundo 'Un estilo inconfundible que busca fusionar lo sintético con lo orgánico'.Javier Rubio Nomblot, ABC Cultural 'María Hesse es uno de esos nuevos diamantes en bruto de la ilustración'.Harper's Bazaar 'El dibujono como horizonte escapista y mero entretenimiento, sino como reflejo de realidades y fuente de revelaciones'.Javier Ors, La Razón

Tiffany Haddish is back with her highly anticipated new essay collection, I Curse You With Joy.<BR><BR>It's been a minute. Readers last sat down with Tiffany in her bestselling debut The Last Black Unicorn. Since then, Haddish has catapulted to A-list fame as the breakout star of Girls Trip. She's walked the Oscars red carpet, released a hit stand-up special with Netflix, and made history as the first Black female comedian to host Saturday Night Live and Shark Week. <BR><BR>But it hasn't been all VIP parties and free diving with apex predators. In these humorous and heartfelt essays, Tiffany gets real about the highs and lows of life. Believe it or not, there was a time when Tiffany didn't totally know who Tiffany was. Before she found her groove, she was on stage dressed like her snobby airline coworkers telling halfhearted dick jokes. She tanked. <BR><BR>It took a fake penis, some help from friends, and a little encouragement from Bob Saget, but eventually Tiffany figured out Tiffany. I Curse You With Joy celebrates all the lessons she learned along the way--the joy and the pain. Tiffany reckons with the legacy of her childhood trauma, the challenges of being a Black woman in the entertainment industry, and her bittersweet reunion with her estranged father after twenty years apart. Don't worry, she's got plenty of advice to share, too. <BR><BR>I Curse You With Joy is Tiffany Haddish unfiltered. (We know what you're thinking...how much more unfiltered can she get?) These essays lay it all bare, bringing readers into Tiffany's inner circle where joy, honesty, humor, and heart are the order of the day. <BR>

'This gripping memoir conveys the courage and cost of telling a truer story' GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE DAY'A memoir of an extraordinary life, which takes in the past 50 years of Xinjiang's history ... fascinating' THE TIMES'Revelatory' SUNDAY TELEGRAPHA powerful and urgent memoir by Uyghur activist Gulchehra Hoja - a remarkable woman who went from being a beloved star on Chinese children's TV to a journalist whose reporting on the oppression of her people led to her entire extended family being imprisoned.In 2018, twenty-four members of Gulchehra Hoja's family, including her elderly parents, were arrested by the Chinese state. Gulchehra had been forced to leave her family behind when she fled to a new life in the United States, and the arrests were an act of retaliation against her investigations for Radio Free Asia into the plight of the Uyghur people. For the Uyghurs, this kind of oppression is not unusual. In her stunning memoir, Gulchehra shares her story: an account of life under Chinese rule in East Turkestan, and her journey to becoming a spokesperson against genocide. The grandchild of a musician and the daughter of an archaeologist, Gulchehra grew up with Uyghur culture and history running through her veins. She showed her gifts early on as a dancer, actress and storyteller, and she became a major television star. But she began to understand what China was doing to her people, as well as her own complicity as a journalist. As her growing fame and political awakening coincided, she made it her mission to expose the crimes Beijing is committing against its own citizens. Filled with the beauty of East Turkestan and its people, A Stone is Most Precious Where it Belongs is the story of a woman who has been willing to risk her own life to expose the truth.'Essential reading' FINANCIAL TIMES'A deeply moving page turner' MICHAEL PORTILLO'Pulses with energy and beauty, making us care about what is being erased at mass scale by telling a deeply personal tale' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

This is the story of Sabine Fröhlich and the harrowing experiences of her family during the Nazi regime - experiences she did not disclose to her children for decades. Sabine was raised as Catholic with her brother Andreas. As a result, she did not understand that the rapidly emerging antisemitic propaganda would be applied to her family, including her father, a decorated German WWI veteran. She first becomes aware of her Jewish heritage when her brother is not allowed to join the popular Hitler Youth. After Kristallnacht, her family flees Germany hoping for US visas, only to become trapped in the Netherlands when the Germans invade.<BR>In June 1941, the Nazis seize her brother as hostage for an act of sabotage, deporting him to Mauthausen where he perishes within months. As the mass deportation of Jews from Amsterdam accelerates, Andreas' friends help Sabine and her parents find hiding places in the North Holland countryside where they live under false names and must move multiple times for their safety.<BR>Sabine's Odyssey is a beautifully painful memoir written by Agnes Schipper in honor of her mother's life during World War II and of her father, a member of the Dutch Resistance. In it, Agnes retells the story of her mother's struggles during her hidden years. Yet this is not merely a story of struggle, but one of kindness, courage, and resistance. This memoir gives voice to those who stayed silent for years.
