PREMIO DE LA CRÍTICA 2021Un tríptico literariamente deslumbrante sobre la decadencia y el fin de una época. «Una novela literariamente excepcional que nos cuenta un viaje vertiginoso, delirante y visionario a través del proceso político catalán desde el posfranquismo hasta un futuro imaginario y espectral.» Jurado del Premio de la Crítica «Un ejemplo de lograda ambición formal y semántica... Una novela excepcional.» Domingo Ródenas, Babelia (El País) «Ibáñez ha escrito la comedia grotesca y siniestra del pujolismo, que vuela más allá de la rabia moral y la ferocidad intelectual. Muy memorable... Una novela cívica que tiene la voluntad de convertir el desvarío nacionalis...

Una vida en la calle
Una tarde de septiembre, un hombre de edad incierta se deja llevar por el gentío que baja por una elegante avenida de Barcelona. No lo mueve ni la gente ni la inercia de sus pasos, sino la búsqueda de una memoria en el centro de un océano interior tan delirante como dolorosamente lúcido. En su paseo encuentra viejas figuras que un día formaron parte de un juego cuyas reglas y objetivos ya no controla. Unas veces son conocidos de otro tiempo o su recuerdo, otras camareros de bares y terrazas, y hasta asoman algunos viandantes mudos y otros tantos muy locuaces, como un antiguo amor que se cruza en su camino sin saberlo o el hilarante encuentro con un tal Alberto Pesadillas. En definitiva,...
Critical Care Nursing
Critical Care Nursing: Learning from Practice takes a unique approach to critical care. Based around case scenarios that have the patient as the central focus, each chapter is constructed around an example of a critically ill patient with specific care needs. The chapters then go on to critically explore the knowledge and skills required to deliver expert care. This book looks at a range of critical care scenarios, including: The patient with acute lung injury The patient with fever The patient with an acute kidney injury The patient with long term needs The patient with increased intra-abdominal pressure The Patient following cardiac surgery Each chapter develops knowledge of the related physiology/pathophysiology, appropriate nursing interventions that are research/evidence based, technical skills, data interpretation and critical appraisal skills, enabling the reader to apply fundamental knowledge to more complex patient problems. Critical Care Nursing: Learning from Practice is an essential resource for practitioners faced with complex and challenging patient cases.
The Aesthetics of the Ephemeral
In The Aesthetics of the Ephemeral, Jennifer Duprey examines five contemporary plays from Barcelona: Olors and Testament by Josep Maria Benet i Jornet, Antígona by Jordi Coca, Forasters by Sergi Belbel, and Temptació by Carles Batlle. She argues that in both the theatrical text and its performance an aesthetics of the ephemeral materializes that is related to specific manifestations of cultural and historical memory in Spain and Catalonia. These manifestations of memory include historical concerns such as the possibility of another form of justice in predicaments of violence after the Civil War, and they also include contemporary issues such as the production of ruins by the processes of gentrification in Barcelona, the complexity of immigration in Spain, and the destruction or preservation of Catalan cultural legacies. In her analysis of these topics, Duprey engages and expands on theories related to questions of subjectivity and identity in late modernity. This book will be of interest to those concerned with Iberian cultural studies and with how theater reflects on and contributes to contemporary political dialogue.

Survival Songs
How can a song help the hungry and persecuted to survive? Stephanie Sieburth’s Survival Songs explores how a genre of Spanish popular music, the copla, as sung by legendary performer Conchita Piquer, helped Republican sympathizers to survive the Franco regime’s dehumanizing treatment following the Spanish Civil War (1936–39). Piquer’s coplas were sad, bitter stories of fallen women, but they offered a way for the defeated to cope with chronic terror, grief, and trauma in the years known as the “time of silence.” Drawing on the observations of clinical psychotherapy, Sieburth explores the way in which listening to Piquer’s coplas enabled persecuted, ostracized citizens to subconsciously use music, role-play, ritual, and narrative to mourn safely and without fear of repercussion from the repressive state. An interdisciplinary study that includes close readings of six of Piquer’s most famous coplas, Survival Songs will be of interest to specialists in modern Spanish studies and to clinical psychologists, musicologists, and those with an interest in issues of trauma, memory, and human rights.
