Fernando, hijo de Felipe el Hermoso y Juana la Loca, fue elegido rey de Bohemia el 23 de octubre de 1526 en un proceso democrático. Una ironía de la historia, ya que el destino del joven archiduque parecía ser reinar en España, tras la educación recibida de su abuelo y valedor, el rey Fernando de Aragón, esposo de Isabel la Católica. Este Habsburgo, un segundón a los ojos de la historia, siempre a la sombra de su hermano, el emperador Carlos V, emerge aquí con luz propia. ¿Por qué fue elegido rey en Praga?, ¿qué oscuras maniobras usaron los electores checos para tener al futuro rey maniatado? ¿quién lo eligió? ¿qué es lo más significativo de su reinado en Centroeuropa? Y, en fin, ¿qué relación mantuvo Fernando con Praga, que hizo que quisiera ser enterrado en la capital bohemia? Son preguntas que aborda la semblanza divulgativa «Fernando I. Un advenedizo español en la corte bohemia», que además pasa revista al ambiente en que se desenvolvió la historiografía checa moderna, con lo que añade un ángulo novedoso para todos los hispanohablantes que se interesan por su figura.

Although the technique of screen printing dates back to first-century China, it became the preferred printing method of choice for musical and political counterculture movements of the 1960s, thanks to its ease, cost, and flexibility. It moved into the mainstream with Andy Warhol's iconic screen print of Marilyn Monroe, and was quickly adopted by artists such as Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Rauschenberg. Screen printing has become even more widespread with the many demonstrations, marches, and grassroots protests in the wake of the American presidential election of 2016. Screen Printing: The Ultimate Studio Guide is a definitive, fully illustrated manual on the techniques, materials, and processes of screen printing. An essential and highly practical reference, this book is equally suited for beginning and experienced printers, with step-by-step tutorials on basic and advanced techniques, as well as "workshops" by several of the world's best-known screen printers, including Ben Eine and Bob Gill.
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
