pObra de gran envergadura literaria, el remanente de la herencia modernista fue aliado en ella por Neruda de modo admirable a los hallazgos expresivos de la nueva vanguardia en una serie de piezas de conmovida intensidad liacute;rica, cuyo acento de plenitud vital, exaltacieacute;n geneacute;sica y erotismo panteiacute;sta cede el paso, en la hora de los duelos y las separaciones, a un tono de melancoliacute;a que le hermana a la herencia romaacute;ntica.
pIntocables en su definitiva rotundidad de pieza maestra, estos iVeinte poemas de amor y una cancioacute;n desesperada/i constituyen sin duda una de las mayores cimas de la poesiacute;a amorosa en lengua castellana.]]> 160 Pablo Neruda 1400001447 á 0 4.22 1924 Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada.

Su nombre original era Helena von Hahn. Nació en la ciudad de Yekaterinoslav (actual Dnipropetrovsk), situada en las márgenes del río Dnieper, en el sur de Rusia (actualmente territorio de Ucrania). El sobrenombre de Blavatsky se debe a un breve matrimonio con un “hombre mayor�, llamado Nikifor Vasílievich Blavatsky, a los 17 años de edad. En rigor, la grafía correcta y coherente con la forma femenina rusa del nombre sería Blavatskaya. Petrovna es un patronímico, es decir, identifica al padre. De esta manera, Petrovna significa hija de Piotr (Pedro).]]> 237 Helena Petrovna Blavatsky á 0 to-read 4.00 1877 ISIS SIN VELO 1 - HP BLAVATSKY (Spanish Edition)

]]> The Love Poems of Rumi 67377




'These poems reflect the deepest longings of the human heart as it searches for the divine. They celebrate love. Each poetic whisper is urgent, expressing the desire that penetrates human relationships and inspires intimacy with the self, silently nurturing an affinity for the Beloved. Both Fereydoun Kia, the translator, and I hope that you will share the experience of ravishing ecstasy that the poems of Rumi evoked in us. In this volume we have sought to capture in English the dreams, wishes, hopes, desires, and feelings of a Persian poet who continues to amaze, bewilder, confound, and teach, one thousand years after he walked on this earth' - Deepak Chopra]]> 64 Deepak Chopra 0712670408 á 4 4.29 1273 The Love Poems of Rumi

]]> An Iliad 1379 Silk.

Alessandro Baricco re-creates the siege of Troy through the voices of twenty-one Homeric characters in the narrative idiom of our modern imagination. Sacrificing none of Homer's panoramic scope, Baricco forgoes Homeric detachment and admits us to realms of subjective experience his predecessor never explored. From the return of Chryseis to the burial of Hector, we see through human eyes and feel with human hearts the unforgettable events first recounted almost three thousand years ago ”events arranged not by the whims of the gods in this instance but by the dictates of human nature. With Andromache, Patroclus, Priam, and the rest, we are privy to the ghastly confusion of battle, the clamor of princely councils, the intimacies of the bedchamber”until finally only a blind poet is left to recount, secondhand, the awful fall of Ilium.

Imbuing the stuff of legend with a startling new relevancy and humanity, Baricco gives us The Iliad as we have never known it. His transformative achievement is certain to delight and fascinate all readers of Homer's indispensable classic.]]> 176 Alessandro Baricco 030726355X á 3 finish 3.64 2004 An Iliad

]]> The Grand Design 8520362
When and how did the universe begin? Why are we here? Why is there something rather than nothing? What is the nature of reality? Why are the laws of nature so finely tuned as to allow for the existence of beings like ourselves? And, finally, is the apparent “grand design� of our universe evidence of a benevolent creator who set things in motion—or does science offer another explanation?

The most fundamental questions about the origins of the universe and of life itself, once the province of philosophy, now occupy the territory where scientists, philosophers, and theologians meet—if only to disagree. In their new book, Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow present the most recent scientific thinking about the mysteries of the universe, in nontechnical language marked by both brilliance and simplicity.

In The Grand Design they explain that according to quantum theory, the cosmos does not have just a single existence or history, but rather that every possible history of the universe exists simultaneously. When applied to the universe as a whole, this idea calls into question the very notion of cause and effect. But the “top-down� approach to cosmology that Hawking and

Mlodinow describe would say that the fact that the past takes no definite form means that we create history by observing it, rather than that history creates us. The authors further explain that we ourselves are the product of quantum fluctuations in the very early universe, and show how quantum theory predicts the “multiverse”—the idea that ours is just one of many universes that appeared spontaneously out of nothing, each with different laws of nature.

Along the way Hawking and Mlodinow question the conventional concept of reality, posing a “model-dependent� theory of reality as the best we can hope to find. And they conclude with a riveting assessment of M-theory, an explanation of the laws governing us and our universe that is currently the only viable candidate for a complete “theory of everything.� If confirmed, they write, it will be the unified theory that Einstein was looking for, and the ultimate triumph of human reason.

A succinct, startling, and lavishly illustrated guide to discoveries that are altering our understanding and threatening some of our most cherished belief systems, The Grand Design is a book that will inform—and provoke—like no other.']]> 199 Stephen Hawking 0553805371 á 3 to-read, finish 4.07 2010 The Grand Design

review:
El libro tiene una fuerte raíz física por parte de Stephen Hawking que poco a poco decae en sólo aclaraciones de conceptos científicos a los comunes de los mortales. Independiente de la creación espontánea de “Universos o Múltiples –Universos�, estos se restringen al conjunto de Leyes Físicas que los rigen y encontrar la llamada Teoría M o Partícula Elemental por parte de la comunidad científica a través de principios de incertidumbre cuántica, curvatura del espacio-tiempo o experimentos de aceleración de partículas no deben perjudicar ni exponer a las futuras generaciones.

Es un pequeño pero gran libro que nos enseña valores como la amistad, hoy el hombre compra todo procesado por eso no tiene amigos. “Los hombres cultivan cinco mil rosas en un jardín y no encuentra lo que buscan. Y sin embargo, lo que buscan podrían encontrarlo en una rosa o en un poco de agua…”Es un libro liviano, fácil de digerir ideal para crear vínculos, lo leo seguido junto a mi sobrino.
