Mais, que pasa se nacemos nun molde equivocado?Ze, o noso protagonista, vive unha historia chea de valentia, loitando a contracorrente por construir a sua propia identidade. Coa complicidade dos seus amigos e a sua familia, percorrera un camiño en que moitas vendas negras, que tapan os ollos e a alma, caeran ao chan. Rompendo todos os moldes, Ze sera quen de amosarlle a todas as persoas que da igual como te vexan os demais. O mais importante e como nos sentimos nos, ser quen queiramos ser e seguir sempre o que dite o noso corazon.

Ez da txantxetako gaia: liburu honen egilea, Iñigo Antsorregi Dierez, bere burua hiltzeko zorian egon zen, agur-mezua ere prestatuta, depresioak horraino eramanda. Ez da txantxetako kontua, baina idazleak broma giroan kontatu nahi izan digu bere prozesua: zerk piztu zion gaitza, nola iritsi zen horra, nola sentitzen zen egun haietan, eta baita nola lortu zuen ateratzea. Ez da txantxetako arazoa gaixotasun mentalek daukaten zabalkundea eta gizartean sortzen duten estigma. Horregatik da bi aldiz eskertzekoa autorearen lana, bere minaren etxea jendaurrean erakusteagatik eta egoera horretan dauden guztiei laguntzeagatik.

Ken Follett torna al thriller amb una emocionant novel·la que imagina el que no es pot ni imaginar: la imminent amenaça de la Tercera Guerra Mundial.Des de labrusador desert del Sahara fins a lala Oest de la Casa Blanca i els passadissos del poder de les grans capitals del mon, el mestre de la narrativa daccio i suspens imagina un escenari de crisi global sense precedents en que un petit grup de personatges compromesos i tenaços lluita en una carrera contra rellotge.Mai es un thriller extraordinari, ple dheroines i de mala gent, de falsos profetes, dagents delit, de politics desencantats i de cinics revolucionaris. Ens envia un missatge dadvertiment per al nostre temps i presenta una historia intensa i trepidant que transporta els lectors fins al caire del que es pot imaginar.Quan em vaig estar documentant per escriure La caiguda dels gegants em va sobtar veure que la Primera Guerra Mundial era una guerra que ningu no volia. Cap dels liders europeus de cap dels dos bandols tenia voluntat que sesdevingues. Pero, dun en un, els emperadors i els primers ministres, sense pretendre la guerra, van prendre un seguit de decisions -decisions logiques i moderades- que ens van acostar un pas mes a un dels conflictes mes terribles que ha conegut el mon. I aleshores em vaig preguntar: "Podria tornara a passar?"KEN FOLLETT

A hymn of love to the world ... A journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, LoveAs a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these two ways of knowledge together. Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, a mother, and a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings - asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass - offer us gifts and lessons, even if weve forgotten how to hear their voices. In a rich braid of reflections that range from the creation of Turtle Island to the forces that threaten its flourishing today, she circles toward a central argument: that the awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. For only when we can hear the languages of other beings will we be capable of understanding the generosity of the earth, and learn to give our own gifts in return.
