The ancient Hebrews developed a way of eating that expressed their own lifestyle and way of thinking. The recipes you will find in these pages are a real surprise for the ease of preparation, for the intelligent use of everyday ingredients, for the ancient flavor and the succulent aroma that each one of them gives off. Each recipe has its history and is linked to a moment in the Old Testament: from the lentils of Esau and Jacob to the unleavened bread of the flight from Egypt. As well as fritters and pumpkin and leek cakes, or the aromatic stewed fennel. Countless biblical stories are interwoven with different recipes, such as the loving raisin and apple cakes of the Song of Songs or Ezekiel's stew. You can easily repeat various formulas for matzah cakes and a multitude of vegetable and legume recipes, and Abraham's stewed veal or Ruth's gravy are surprising. All the preparations are linked to the history of the People of Israel in some of its episodes, and their ingredients are those of the time. Almudena Villegas skillfully develops an innovative style to learn about the history of a culture through the most everyday: its recipes. Deliciously intertwined with its history and fragrant aroma, easy to repeat and tasty.

Hector Perazzo, a former inspector of the Argentine Federal Police based in Turin, is a private detective who survives on routine jobs: cuckolds, cheating husbands, schoolboys who spend more than they should.... But when the Peruvian Doña Pilar asks him to investigate the disappearance of her daughter Linda, a twenty-year-old who vanished into the emptiness of an apparently shadowless life, the scenario changes completely. Hector probes the marginal environments of multi-ethnic Turin, entering and leaving the gray zone that in every metropolis blurs the boundaries between legality and illegality. And so it is that the search for the young South American girl reveals an unforeseen dark side. The investigation will trace the contours of a strange and terrible reality that will lead Hector to the mountains of Saluzzo, in the footsteps of a great Renaissance painter. Giorgio Ballario, one of the most celebrated authors of recent Italian crime novels, here displays his usual mastery in leading the reader through a labyrinth as absorbing as it is disturbing. Halfway between the pen of Raymond Chandler and Paolo Conte, Perazzo is a memorable character, ironic and fatalistic, cynical and nostalgic (as only an expatriate porteño can be), misogynistic but seductive. It is impossible not to be fascinated by the rhythm of his investigation: the irresistible, indolent restlessness of the tango broken by peaks of action and suspense worthy of the great American authors. And it may be true that Turin is not Buenos Aires, but, page after page, the reader will discover that it is the ideal city to host a great contemporary noir.

Did you know about the existence of greeters and fortune tellers? They are characters endowed by popular tradition with powers to lessen the suffering of their fellow men to the point that many of their practices became real professions thanks to ancestral wisdom. The problem came when many of these professions, the most heterodox, were persecuted because of their confrontation with Science and, above all, with the Church. These pages aim to bring us closer to those practices that have a clearly arcane or occult, magical component, through the participation of certain social agents, coming from the tradition, willing and evolved especially for that purpose.

Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States, tells his personal stories about more than 30 years of fighting for social change, from teaching at Spelman College to recent protests against war. A former bombardier in World War II, Zinn emerged in the civil rights movement as a powerful voice for justice. Although he's a fierce critic, he gives us reason to hope that by learning from history and engaging politically, we can make a difference in the world.

Based on responsive methodologies, the book analyzes the common and not so common mistakes that are made for the sake of said transformation; It offers keys to success and a committed proposal for solutions to the problems that arise along the way. All with a humanistic vision that starts from two fundamental ideas: people, methodology, and only then technology and emotional intelligence over artificial intelligence.

The plant world is fascinating. Approaching the study of botany is something truly magical and is loaded with symbolic connotations, many of which have been maintained to this day through time. On occasions, these mystical-fantastic narratives keep within them the atavism of ancestral or rudimentary knowledge. In others, on the contrary, they end up generating hoaxes. This work aims, precisely, to get to the root of many of those myths, hoaxes and legends linked, in one way or another, to the plant kingdom. Throughout its pages and with the help of a powerful scientific tool, botany, the author will answer questions such as when did Christian floral symbology emerge or what is hidden behind the terrifying Japanese creature known as jubokko. Likewise, it sheds light on hoaxes such as the consumption of substances considered aphrodisiacs, whether or not blind people can practice botany or even whether the statement that a squirrel could cross Spain jumping from tree to tree is true or not.

Jonas Deichmann knows no limits. Having reached the pinnacle of triathlon and ultra-distance running, this athlete has made the impossible possible. While the world remained in quarantine due to COVID-19, he dedicated himself to circumnavigating it. For fourteen months, filled with extreme experiences and moments of maximum happiness, Deichmann swam the treacherous currents of the Adriatic Sea, cycled twenty thousand kilometers from Dubrovnik to Vladivostok in freezing cold, and traversed Mexico in one hundred and twenty marathons. He was accompanied by some people, young and old, who spontaneously joined him to be part of his adventure for a few kilometers, and also inspired by millions of fans who supported him on the networks. The result is an incredible story of courage, uncertainty and motivation, the magical power of chocolate bars and the limitlessness of our world. A story to move mountains.

In this book, you will get to know nature better thanks to the poems of its author. You will discover little stories of all types of critters that are very different from one another. Some are small like the ant or the cricket, some are big and wild like the bear, the crocodile or the elephant, others are flying insects like the dragonfly, the bee or the fly, and some others are domestic and live with us like the dog or the cat. You can even find weird little critters such as the mantis or the centipede, or winged singers like the goldfinch, the swallow, or the blackbird. The author, a big lover of nature and animals, with her verses full of lyricism, tenderness, and sometimes also humor, manages to make the readers enjoy and discover new facts about the life and habits of these critters, hoping that this helps to bring them closer to the respect and love that every living being deserves.

"Zoâe Valdâes grew up in Havana back in the sixties, as a restless and sappy girl, between the deprivations and the iron control of the Castro dictatorship. At that time, she did not know that, a few years later, she would become the most famous Cuban writer of her time. But the yearning for freedom, as in so many other cases, ultimately prevailed, and in 1995, while invited to a conference on Josâe Martâi in Paris, she asked for political asylum in France. That decision would mark her life and would be the beginning of a long series of recognitions and awards for a fruitful and impeccable literary career. In "The Intense Life Zoâe looks back and remembers the land in which she was born and its people, as well as the beginnings of her passion for writing. The funniest and most endearing stories go hand in hand with the bitter moments, when the shadow of the Castro regime reveals its true face. But there is also room here for Parisian episodes of immersion in a new culture, strange but fascinating, or titles such as that of Samuel Beckett, thus configuring a sort of memoirs without an exhaustive desire and with the genuine imprint of a writer of race, who turns everything she touches into literature." --
