Germinal
by Tania TagleGerminal es un ensayo que acompaña el proceso de traer a una persona a este mundo desde un entendimiento de la angustia y la belleza que eso implica. Un libro que conmueve y que abre espacio, también, para pensar cómo se insertan esos procesos en el pensamiento y la cultura y cómo podemos transformarlos Con un enfoque íntimo y auténtico Tania Tagle nos comparte sus dudas y sus reflexiones en torno al embarazo, el parto y la crianza, entretejidas con la exploración de conceptos como lo monstruoso, el milagro y la maravilla. Así dialogamos al mismo tiempo con ella y con pensadores romanos, como Tito Livio, entre otros, para rastrear dónde se gesta y cómo se transforma la idea de monstruo, al mismo tiempo que se transforma el cuerpo de una embarazada; o en la segunda parte, donde Tagle se acerca al momento del parto concebido como milagro, alumbramiento, trazando la genealogía del término a través del judaísmo, de los mitos griegos o de San Agustín. Finalmente, llegamos al momento de la adquisición del lenguaje, a la crianza, con esa sorpresa, ese thauma que pone en conversación a Tales de Mileto, a María Zambrano o a Sócrates.

El gesto de Héctor: Prehistoria, historia y actualidad de la figura del padre
by Luigi Zoja«Héctor se quita el casco, lo pone en el suelo y puede abrazar al niño. Formulando un deseo para el futuro, eleva a su hijo hacia lo alto con los brazos y con el pensamiento. Este gesto será, para siempre, la marca del padre.» En este gran ensayo (que Taurus publica en edición actualizada), libro referencia internacional sobre la figura paterna, Luigi Zoja, analista junguiano y uno de los más relevantes intelectuales italianos, se ocupa de los orígenes de la figura del padre desde un punto de vista histórico, antropológico y psicológico. El autor lee algunas figuras míticas de la antigüedad clásica -Ulises, Aquiles, Eneas...- como imágenes arquetípicas del padre y modelo de las paradojas a las que este se enfrenta. Zoja nos conduce en una reinterpretación vibrante de la paternidad desde Homero y Virgilio hasta el siglo del cine y el totalitarismo. Ilumina la eterna división de lo masculino entre dos identidades unificadas (hombre/padre), en el corazón de la cuestión de «convertirse en padre», mediante emotivos ejemplos, como el magnífico gesto de Héctor -que, tras quitarse el casco, eleva a su hijo y riega a los dioses para que este lo supere en fuerza-. Reseñas:«El libro más hermoso sobre la figura paterna.»Loredana Lipperini «Un libro erudito y extremadamente bien escrito, que se lee como una novela.»La Repubblica «Con El gesto de Héctor Zoja pone en foco la identidad masculina como campo de batalla entre principios contradictorios.»Liberazione «En su brillante El gesto de Héctor, el psicoanalista junguiano Luigi Zoja describe el retrato de Héctor, el retrato de un héroe familiar y modesto, libre de la hybris que caracteriza tanto a Aquiles como a Ulises. Héctor es padre y guerrero al mismo tiempo.»L'Espresso «El libro de Zoja se ha convertido en la referencia internacional sobre la paternidad, y esta nueva edición actualizada llega en el momento idóneo, pues resulta útil para abordar temas candentes.»Corriere della Sera
Get a Clue!
by Ellen RosenbergThis practical companion to Reviving Ophelia and Real Boys shares the concerns of preteens in their own words and advises parents how to approach them confidently and effectively.Many parents may not want to know that their eight- to fourteen-year-olds are already facing serious issues and have questions such as:- Why do people make fun of me because I am from another country?- When will I know when puberty has struck?- How do I deal with the feeling that no matter how good I do it's not good enough for my parents?- What happens when a friend beats you up?Without support, understanding, and assistance, the anxiety these dilemmas evoke could undermine a child's confidence and self-image as he or she matures. In a reassuring style filled with practical pointers, Ellen Rosenberg, veteran educator of thirty years, tells parents how to open a discussion on the day-to-day questions their preteens have but may be reluctant to share. Handwritten queries from preteens are included in the text, and as they attest, your children do want you to know what's really going on.A communication bible that parents will return to again and again, Get a Clue! is sure to help parents and their children become closer and form a bond of trust that will last through middle school, high school, college, and beyond.
Get a Life
by Nadine GordimerPaul Bannerman, an ecologist in South Africa, believes he understands the trajectory of his life, with the usual markers of vocation and marriage. But when he's diagnosed with thyroid cancer and, after surgery, prescribed treatment that will leave him radioactive, for a period a danger to others, he begins to question, as Auden wrote, "what Authority gives existence its surprise." In the garden of his childhood home, where his businessman father, Adrian, and prominent civil rights lawyer mother, Lyndsay, take him in to protect his wife and child from radiation, he enters an unthinkable existence and another kind of illumination: the contradiction between the values of his work and those of his wife, Benni, an ad agency executive. His mother is transformed by the strange state of her son's existence to face her own past. Meanwhile, projects to build a nuclear reactor and drain vital wetlands preoccupy Paul as if he were at work. By the time he is cured, both families have been changed. On his return to his home and career, his parents go to Mexico to fulfill the archaeological vocation Adrian sacrificed to support his family. The consequence of this trip is the final surprise in this extraordinary exploration of passionate individual existences.

Sarah Harper isn't sure if the stupid decisions she sometimes makes are good choices in disguise--or if they're really just stupid.

But before Sarah can share her troubles with her sister, she learns that Mackie has some woes of her own: After years of trying, Mackie's given up on having a baby--and plans to sell on eBay the entire nursery she's set up. Which gives Sarah a brilliant idea--an idea that could fix everyone's problems. An idea that gives Sarah the chance to take care of her big sister for once--instead of the other way around.

Soon everything that matters is on the line--and Sarah can only hope that by changing her life she has changed her luck, too.From the Trade Paperback edition.
