STAR WARS, EL LEGADO

Un garabato en un papelito, un boceto hecho en un ramalazo de inspiración... o de desesperación, un plan de rodaje o una entrada usada para una fiesta exclusiva son, para los coleccionistas, objetos efímeros; pero cuando están relacionados con un persona o acontecimiento notables (o con una serie de películas filmadas a lo largo de tres décadas y que han atrapado la imaginación de todo el mundo), dejan de ser efímeros para transformarse en componentes de un fenómeno, como ocurre en la saga de Star Wars. Treinta años, seis películas y muchos millones de espectadores después del primer estreno de esta saga, Star Wars: El legado incluye más de cincuenta objetos interactivos, centenares de fotos e ilustraciones y dos CD de audio de más de 70 minutos de duración cada uno donde se narra como nunca la historia de nuestro combate galáctico preferido. Escrito y compilado por el mayor coleccionista de Star Wars, Stephen Sansweet, junto con otro gran coleccionista, Meter Vilmur, partiendo de los inmensos archivos de Lucasfilm Ltd., Star Wars: El Legado es un libro interactivo que contiene la historia de las películas y las innovaciones que desencadenaron y, al mismo tiempo, les rinde homenaje.

ME SIGUEN PERDIENDO LAS FALDAS

El libro que tienen en sus manos no posee un nivel literario digno de significación y su autor no aparecerá con total seguridad en catálogo alguno de escritores conocidos, pero su contenido desborda la realidad, se adorna con la más descarada ficción y, en algunos momentos, muestra la cara alegre de la vida.

JOSÉ SARAMAGO

Este es un libro sobre y con José Saramago. Escrito en nuestros días, parte de la obra y la palabra del autor que obtuviera el premio Nobel de Literatura en el año 1998. El libro indaga en el hombre escritor, en el hombre político, en las razones de su literatura, en su compromiso ético y social, y lo hace viajando a su tierra, sumergiéndose en sus escritos y dialogando con él. Es un libro apasionado, pues está concebido y realizado no solo desde la amistad, sino desde la convicción, la certeza, la creencia de que José Saramago es uno de los escritores y seres humanos más importantes, sinceros, necesarios del tiempo que vivimos. A través de la obra seguimos a José Saramago desde su nacimiento en las tierras del Ribatejo portugués hasta el día en que, al recibir el premio Nobel de Literatura, rindió un emocionante homenaje a la memoria de sus abuelos analfabetos y a los campesinos y gentes del Portugal que agonizaba bajo el fascismo, a quienes lucharon contra él y a la historia que aprendió a conocer en narraciones orales y en mitos que supo transformar en una bellísima literatura. Y con palabras del propio Saramago, y con el análisis de su obra, encontramos al hombre lúcido que se compromete hoy con todas las causas justas que intentan hacer otro mundo posible, que combate a los depredadores que amenazan la libertad y la existencia de la casa Tierra. Y a la literatura que desde Montaigne a Kafka continúa mostrando el poder de la palabra como espejo de la pasión crítica y la independencia moral.
