The Medium is the Massage
AuthorMarshall McLuhan
ISBN1584230703
The Medium is the Massage is Marshall McLuhan's most condensed, and perhaps most effective, presentation of his ideas.

An international bestseller and controversial literary phenomenon that drew immediate comparison...

Exuberance is the perfect descriptor for Elkin’s works. Like his bunkmate Bill Gass, his fictions swing to their own rhythms, refuse to conform to any cosily crafted preconception of a satisfying sellable sentence, and demonstrate a fearless dexterity over the English language that would make...
Alguien que anda por ahí y otros relatos
AuthorJulio Cortázar
ISBN8420421014
Alguien que anda por ahí (1977) reúne once cuentos en los que Cortázar vuelve a superarse a sí mismo. Se abre con la inquietante melancolía de Cambio de luces y culmina con la violencia policial de La noche de Mantequilla. Cortázar no sólo crea climas y situaciones irrepetibles, también es capaz...
