"One of the most pronounced shortcomings in those who write today lies without any doubt in the poor or erroneous use of punctuation marks. Punctuation marks modulate the message, emphasize or attenuate ideas and content, and determine the musicality of the prose. In short, an incorrect or inappropriate use of them can make a brilliant text turn into an almost unreadable mess, or just the opposite. The result is an essential work in the library of any self-respecting writer"--

"Three years ago Volodymyr Zelenskyy swept Ukraine's presidential election as the only candidate whose only political experience had been on the small screen. During the three seasons of the series The People's Servant, this charismatic actor played the role of a high school History teacher who, by a series of coincidences, ends up becoming the country's president. Ever since his election, the public has been able to discover a political figure with many edges. We have discovered a man risen to power with the help of some of the most powerful oligarchs in the country. A politician who has not been able to escape suspicions of nepotism or corruption cases and scandals around him. But, since February 2022, we have discovered a man who did not tremble in accepting Putin's challenge and who became the leader of the popular resistance to Russian aggression. A man who became the president who has managed to unite in this fight both supporters and opponents, the corrupt and anti-corruption bodies, adults and children, people of different nationalities and religions. He has become a head of state being received with applause in European parliaments and in the US Congress. Journalist Serhiy Rudenko turns each episode of the sixth Ukrainian president life¿s into a piece of the puzzle that makes up the portrait of Volodymyr Zelenskyy. A man who promised Ukrainians to change the country in which they lived despite lacking political experience or knowledge of state affairs. A man once trusted by 13.5 million voters." --

In the summer of 1936, the ship that carried the great writer Stefan Zweig to America stopped over at the port of Vigo. With the dramatic echoes of the Civil War resounding in the Galician atmosphere, the writer walked through the streets and stopped in front of the window of a small bookstore and met its owner, Ramón, a man who, like him, is aware of the value of Literature. That meeting will be the seed of a fleeting but valuable friendship.

It is undeniable that human beings seek happiness and have difficulty finding it. This is not a new phenomenon: ever since ancient times man has wondered about what happiness is, where it lies and how to achieve it. For the Greeks, a people of deep pessimism, the search for happiness (eudaimonia) was a traditional theme of philosophy and it was precisely in Greece where Epicurus¿ (341-270 BC) doctrine of happiness emerged. A cursed and manipulated author (just like his admirer Nietzsche), Epicurus has probably been the thinker who has most lucidly approached the question of eudaimonia. Its doctrine seeks and promises its followers happiness through pleasure (hedoné), self-sufficiency (autarky), friendship (philía) and mental calm (ataraxia), offering itself as medicine against the pain of flesh and the sufferings of the mind. But Epicurean hedonism, which harmonizes well with the ancient Apollonian maxim that wisdom consists of moderation and the knowledge of limits, is totally removed from both the tyranny of the happycracy and from the noxious culture of unrestrained and vacuous desire of contemporary postmodernity. This is precisely why Epicurus's timeless proposal for authentic happiness deserves to be known for everyone: for constituting an effective therapy against the ills that afflict the nihilistic human being of the neoliberal era.

En este su primer libro, Raquel Marugâan nos narra su propia experiencia personal tras haber sido diagnosticada de un câancer de garganta. Este giro inesperado supone un punto de inflexiâon en su vida. Una forma de vivir que la atrapâo para siempre. Una crâonica que empezaba en el paâis de la incertidumbre y acaba en el mundo de la esperanza. Una travesâia apasionante en la que el câancer la llevâo a cruzar la frontera entre lo ordinario y lo extraordinario. A jugâarsela al todo o nada por alcanzar la felicidad. El dolor no siempre acarrea mâas sufrimiento, a veces tambiâen regala una nueva vida. Y la gran recompensa fue la aventura que viviâo para sobrevivir. La muerte le acercâo a la vida.
