A reproduction of one of the Spanish master’s coveted drawing albums, bound in eco leather with new scholarship on the volume’s significance In collaboration with the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid on the occasion of its 200th anniversary in 2019, Skira has published an accurate reproduction of Francisco Goya’s (1746-1828) precious Cuaderno C , or Album C in English. Containing more than 100 drawings from the years 1808 to 1820, Cuaderno C covers a wide variety of charged topics, clearly influenced by the events of the Peninsular War and its turbulent aftermath. Goya devoted a large section of the album to drawings that depict prisoners of the Inquisition and their suffering while incarcerated; another section critiques the representation of monastic life, which was secularized in keeping with the French authorities’ orders.Unlike the first two drawing albums, which were professionally bound with high-quality Dutch paper, Goya made Cuaderno C himself out of the cheaper Spanish paper available to him at the time, making the volume’s survival all the more remarkable. An essay by José Manuel Matilla Rodríguez, art historian and head of the Department of Drawings and Prints at the Museo Nacional del Prado, accompanies the drawings.

Bajarse al moro

José Luis Alonso de Santos encontró desde la primera representación teatral de "Bajarse al moro" la fortuna del éxito. Madrid, los años 80 y cuatro jóvenes como tantos constituyen el espacio, el tiempo y los protagonistas de la obra. Su fuente de inspiración, la realidad que le rodea, haciendo resaltar una serie de códigos circunstanciales que operan en el mundo cotidiano y que el autor considera relevantes y el público familiares. Con esta edición se pretende dejar constancia de algo que es fundamental en esta obra: su lenguaje "caliente", la expresión de una forma de entender la vida.
Cuadros de amor y humor, al fresco
- 220 pages
- 8 hours of reading
Cada obra de José Luis Alonso de Santos (Valladolid, 1942) constituye una indagación en los diversos niveles de la realidad y una defensa de la vida. La extraordinaria complejidad que caracteriza a las relaciones y a los sentimientos humanos, su ritualización social, la dinámica de las conductas, las fuerzas que las dominan, son algunas de las constantes del "teatro de la vida" que el autor ha logrado redefinir y presentar en sus tragedias, dramas y comedias. En estos "Cuadros de amor y humor, al fresco", la realidad entraña múltiples pliegues, de los cuales sólo algunos emergen en una primera instancia perceptiva. En estas piezas breves se nos desvelan los entresijos de las distintas capas de la sociedad, los diversos pliegues de la vida humana, el mundo complejo y apasionante del amor, desde una perspectiva de entonación lúdica. La fuerza dramática de estas piezas es el resultado de amor, humor e ingenio, sabiamente combinados.

L'obiettivo di questa ricerca è quello di stimare il valore di irradianza solare nella provincia di Lambayeque utilizzando il modello empirico di Bristow-Campbell, prendendo come dati i valori registrati di temperature massime e minime giornaliere fornite dal Servizio Nazionale di Meteorologia e Idrologia (SENAMHI)-Direzione Zonale 2, Lambayeque, periodo 2014-2019. Questo permetterà la progettazione di sistemi solari su misura per le esigenze elettriche o di riscaldamento in modo affidabile, sicuro ed economico. L'energia solare disponibile in un sito di interesse è una grandezza fisica fondamentale per la progettazione di sistemi fotovoltaici e collettori solari per generare rispettivamente elettricità e calore. Tuttavia, la misurazione di questa grandezza fisica è scarsa o inesistente, ricorrendo quindi a metodi empirici per ottenere valori stimati di irradianza solare, considerando come dati di input le variabili meteorologiche misurate nella zona di interesse come le ore di sole, le temperature massime e minime, l'umidità relativa, le precipitazioni, la velocità e la direzione del vento, ecc.
