rizzoli & isles books

Al regresar de un viaje de negocios a París, la Dra. Maura Isles se encuentra su casa de Boston precintada como la escena de un crimen. La víctima, para asombro de Isles, no solo es idéntica a ella, sino que todas las pruebas forenses confirman que podría tratarse de su hermana gemela. En compañía de su inseparable colega, la detective Jean Rizzoli, Isles iniciará una investigación que la llevará a indagar en aspectos de su propio pasado que desconocía y que no podía haber imaginado ni en sus peores pesadillas. El inquie-tante crimen de su alter ego a las puertas de su propio domicilio será solo el último de una serie de asesinatos que se remontan a cuarenta años atrás, con la implicación de una madre que jamás llegó a conocer. Doble cuerpo no solo es una excelente novela de suspense firmada por una de las auto-ras más respetadas del panorama literario estadounidense actual. Con esta cuarta entrega de la serie de Isles y Rizzoli, Gerritsen demuestra un dominio del género que ha llevado la crítica a compararla con maestros contemporáneos de la talla de Michael Crichton o Stephen King.

Best review for Doble cuerpo: Un caso de Rizzoli & Isles (Spanish Edition)

In Home Is Where the Heart Is, celebrated designer Ilse Crawford looks beyond pure aesthetics to pursue a philosophy of reclaiming and reintegrating the human element into our homes.
With the premise that “the more virtual our world becomes, the more we need the physical,” Crawford investigates our basic human drives for survival, safety, love, respect, and self-fulfillment and then expands this into how we can improve our lives, our homes, and our daily activities.
As she writes in her introductory essay, “What drives us as human beings? What are those basic building blocks of human behavior that make us alike, the things that make us human? We need the functionality of the technological age but we want a sense of humanity, of home, a space that speaks to us both rationally and emotionally. We want to be modern but we want to be human too.”
A unique mix of provocative text and evocative photography, this volume combines thoughtful essays on our individual needs and our daily activities with practical information on architecture, design, and furnishings. The end result is a lavish and inspirational edition that will improve our perception of what a home can be.

Best review for Home Is Where the Heart Is

This study analyzes a characteristic feature of some Jacobean plays, the serialization of coup de theatre, by first tracing back and theoretically reconstructing its pattern in Aristotle’s “Poetics” and later in the Italian literary debate and experiments on tragicomedy of the late Renaissance. The adoption of the larger European perspectives allows the study to document the peculiar, original solutions adopted by the Jacobean dramas, where this pattern is not only integrally reproduced in the case of Beaumont and Fletcher’s tragicomedy, but also inventively used in a critical way by dramatists such as Tourneur, Middleton and Webster in order to create highly problematical and radical tragedies.
