El nuevo libro de Javier Cercas relata los últimos 50 años de la historia de España, que son los del diario El País, a través de un recorrido personal y una lúcida reflexión sobre los vínculos entre periodismo, literatura, politica y libertades.El diario El Pais salio a la calle el 4 de mayo de 1976, menos de seis meses despues de la muerte de Franco, cuando el camino a la democracia apenas empezaba a atisbarse. La idea del periodico se incubo entre un grupo de editores e intelectuales que, en las postrimerias del franquismo, buscaba un instrumento de reforma del regimen, de talante liberal y vocacion europeista, que contribuyera a suturar las heridas provocadas por la guerra civil y la dictadura y a hallar una salida sin traumas del franquismo. Su exito fue fulgurante. A los 50 años de ese momento fundacional de la historia reciente española, Javier Cercas asumio el reto de contar la historia de un pais a traves de la de su periodico de referencia; pero El periodico de la democracia no es solo una historia personal de ese periodo: es tambien una reflexion acerca de la relacion del periodismo con la literatura, una cronica de la formacion intelectual de un escritor y un homenaje a la importancia de la prensa en la construccion y la defensa de las libertades.Sobre el autor y su obra la critica ha dicho:Uno de los mejores escritores de nuestra lengua. Mario Vargas LlosaEl incontestable jefe de filas de su generacion de escritores hispanohablantes [...]. Uno de los escritores mas importantes de nuestro tiempo. Olivier Mony, Sud-OuestHa contribuido como muy pocos escritores de cualquier lengua a transformar la literatura actual. Jordi Gracia, El PaisEl mas grande escritor contemporaneo español. Yann Perreau, Les InrockuptiblesProbablemente el mas grande novelista español vivo. Duncan Wheeler, The White Review

Una investigación imprescindible para entender quién manda, cómo y con qué complicidadesÉste es el relato de una traición múltiple: política, moral y periodística. A partir de una investigación que se inicia con la fulminante caida de Jose Luis Abalos en 2021, Ketty Garat reconstruye el entramado de lealtades, ambiciones y ajustes de cuentas que acompañaron al ascenso, la consolidacion y la degradacion del nucleo de poder que rodea a Pedro Sanchez. Un poder que no se limito a conquistar el PSOE y el Gobierno, sino que termino por canibalizarlos desde dentro.El libro retrata un sistema en el que nadie actua solo. Desde Sanchez hasta sus hombres de confianza -Abalos, Santos Cerdan, Koldo Garcia-, pasando por actores politicos, empresarios, intermediarios y aliados internacionales, Garat expone como se organizo una red de poder basada en la traicion preventiva, el control interno y la eliminacion sistematica de cualquier disidencia.Mientras se desplegaba esta trama corrupta, buena parte de los medios abandonaron su funcion de fiscalizacion del poder y, en su lugar, señalaron a la periodista y al periodico que la investigaban, a los que el tiempo y la justicia han dado la razon.Todos los hombres de Sanchez es tambien una cronica desde las bambalinas de una exclusiva en la que se revelan detalles hasta ahora desconocidos.Es, en definitiva, una investigacion que muestra que ocurre cuando el poder no encuentra resistencia, la traicion se convierte en metodo y el silencio se presenta como virtud.

Una cuidada selección de los mejores artículos políticos y de crítica cultural de uno de los escritores e intelectuales más importantes del siglo XX.George Orwell dedicó su vida y obra a la defensa de la libertad del hombre. Como Simone Weil, entendio que su papel de intelectual era inseparable de la obligacion ciudadana de luchar contra el totalitarismo con el fusil, pero tambien con la pluma. Sus escritos politicos son un claro, arriesgado y ejemplar ejercicio de compromiso contra la mentira y la manipulacion que eleva la escritura de denuncia a la categoria de literatura. En esta antologia encontraremos intervenciones indispensables como son "Una mirada retrospectiva a la guerra española", "Notas sobre el nacionalismo", "Usted y la bomba atomica", "Dentro de la ballena" o "Disparando a un elefante" en los que se refleja su vision certera, independiente y esceptica pero siempre compasiva y solidaria con las injusticias de su tiempo que son, en definitiva, las de nuestro.La razon de Orwell ha sabido atravesar decadas y su clarividencia se nos presenta con una actualidad sobrecogedora. Estos escritos son una luz que ilumina la oscuridad del presente.

La cruda y conmovedora historia de un hombre que no sentía el dolor físico.Aquejado de una rara condición genética, Edward H. Gibson nació sin la capacidad de sentir dolor físico. Su cuerpo no advirtio ni heridas ni accidentes, y fue presentado en la sociedad medica de Nueva York como el primer caso conocido de analgesia total congenita.Este libro es un emocionante estudio sobre el dolor, su dimension simbolica y las discrepancias entre la experiencia verdadera y su representacion. Abocado a la condicion de freak, el protagonista se sublima en un gesto desesperado o ironico: crucificarse en publico frente a la multitud. A medio camino entre el ensayo narrativo y la reflexion filosofica, Barba transforma esta anomalia biologica en una alegoria del extrañamiento y la otredad.

De sur a norte, un viaje por el país de los fiordos y el sol de medianocheEn 1972, con apenas veinte años y una mochila a la espalda, Xavier Moret hizo autostop hasta el cabo Norte. Allí, frente al acantilado, vio como el sol se detenia en el horizonte y volvia a ascender, como si el dia se resistiera a terminar. Aquella luz fue el comienzo de una relacion duradera con Noruega. Desde entonces ha regresado al cabo cinco veces, por carretera, en autocaravana o a bordo del mitico Hurtigruten, en invierno y en verano, siempre con la impresion de estar volviendo a un lugar que ya forma parte de su vida.Este libro recoge esos viajes por tierras vikingas, vividos en distintas epocas del año, que han ido trazando un mapa personal del pais. De las islas Lofoten a Oslo, ciudad de escritores y museos; de la lluviosa Bergen a Troms, la puerta del Artico, Moret emprende de nuevo el viaje hacia el septentrion, entre fiordos y carreteras nevadas, para regresar al lugar donde todo empezo hace ya cincuenta años.

Busting the myth of groupthink, an insightful look at how our ability to influence one another can accelerate individual and collective intelligence.A leading expert on social networks and behavior change delivers new principles of social influence to improve collective intelligence.For years, scientists have struggled to discover the formula to produce the worlds smartest teams. But the solution has been elusive because they have focused on individual intelligences. In Goodthink, Damon Centola shows how to build teams, design online platforms, and create office spaces that sharpen our thinking individually and align our intelligence collectively. The secret, it turns out, is in the shape of our networks.How did MITs Building 20, populated with outcasts and eccentrics, become one of the most innovative and productive research hubs in American history? Why did increasing the number of online echo chambers unexpectedly reduce political polarization? How can popular herding behavior make crowds more intelligent? This book has the answers. Taking us behind the scenes of the most successful systems of collective intelligence in the modern world, it introduces a new science of what it means to be smart.Every day, each of us faces four critical decision-making challenges: choosing, coordination, cooperation, and creativity. Goodthink describes the tell-tale signs of when effective structures are at work, enabling us to read the room and begin to shift the dynamics at play. It also reveals how to know when things are failing and what to do to fix them.Delivering path-breaking insights currently at work within Fortune 500 companies, global philanthropic organizations, and government agencies, the book reveals underlying dynamics of group intelligence that have gone overlooked. Showing us how these principles work to make us feel more confident, more connected, and more engaged, Goodthink leaves us feeling smarterbecause we are!

There has never been a more confusing time to try to be healthy. In the past decade, the healthcare sector has witnessed a remarkable surge in innovation: drug design, genomics and diagnostic technology have all changed almost beyond recognition.Simultaneously, there has been a significant expansion in consumer health services, including the supplement industry, blood testing, consumer genomics and wearable technology, which claim to improve wellness (emphasising physical and mental performance and longevity) rather than curing or preventing specific disease states.For a typical consumer this is both confusing, as the health and wellness industries are almost indistinguishable, and expensive, as consumer health emphasises personalised products, often sold on a subscription basis.In Make Me Well, Xand van Tulleken investigates the new Wild West of the wellness industry, demystifying a landscape dominated by three products: supplements, blood testing, and wearable technology. In doing so, he shines a light on how people can take care of themselves better in this new and overwhelming world of wellness.

New York Times bestselling authors Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg turn their sharp reporting and propulsive writing to the NFL, going inside the most influential and successful teamsincluding the Eagles, the Ravens, and the Ramsand showing what it takes to build winning teams in the most competitive, brutal sports league in the world.The NFL is the toughest league in the world in which to build a winnerand its not particularly close. Between the hard salary cap, constant rule changes, comprehensive revenue redistribution, and constraining player contracts, the league engineers parity with draconian efficiency. It punishes winners, elevates losers, and goes out of its way to prevent dynasties. By the laws of the NFL, this hard road to the top is a feature, not a bug. And yet, in the face of these intense obstacles, some teams have learned how to thrive, year after year. How does this happen? What separates the champions from the Sunday-afternoon chaff? Talent on the field and on the sidelines helps, but as Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg reveal the modern NFL is not won through Xs and Os alone. Instead there is a new calculus of winning in the worlds most lucrative sports league. The teams that triumph exploit a range of loopholes from contract strategy to draft savvy to proprietary metrics, finding ways to extract ruthless efficiencies from a system built to strip away every advantage.Going inside the front offices and locker rooms of the most influential and forward-looking teams in todays NFLfrom the Eagles to the Ravens to the RamsRobinson and Clegg show the franchises that are using the NFLs rigid system to their own advantage, examining how they are drafting creatively, winning differentlyand how the rest of league has yet to catch up. The result is a fascinating window into achieving success in the modern NFL and an unparalleled look at how the cunning it takes to win on the field starts in the most surprising of places.

When you know of Janet Malcolm, you spot traces of her everywhere. You understand that she was a titan of the written word - a longtime New Yorker staff writer, member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and National Book Award finalist - with a far-reaching impact and cult-like following. But if you dont know to look for her name, it is easy to miss - unlike some of her contemporaries, Malcolm was actively opposed to being a literary celebrity, even while famously controversial for challenging the notion of journalisms objectivity. The Absent Woman plumbs the Malcolm archives to uncover a portrait of this notoriously private writer and her work, and of the people and themes that she was consumed by in her over sixty-year career. From questions of narrative and truth to criticism and psychoanalysis to her decade-long case with Jeffrey Masson and the attacks she got from other critics, Eve Sneider reads Malcolms obsessions in essays and books alongside her photographs, correspondence and episodes from her life - and illustrates the many ways in which Malcolms writing about other people was a vehicle for her to understand herself.
