Each one on their own and God against everyone
Werner Herzog · Blakie books
When so many things happen to you in life, It seems easy to write an autobiography like this. Werner Herzog presents himself as a simple wanderer of places and legends, walker among other men. The author of Fitzcarraldo accompanies us from his miserable childhood in post-war Germany to his success as a director, all of this truffled with a rich anecdote that gives an account of his peculiar personality. Actually, more than a biography, this is a travel book. Very entertaining. G.LEON

Married and silent
Emma Zafón Empuriabrava
Married and silent it is a novel that sometimes reads like a chronicle, sometimes as a kind of thriller. Like a chronicle of an era, for the amount of detail and information it provides about women's lives at a given time, the seventies and eighties, and about the contrast between the rural area of Llucena and the industrial area of Alcora and other towns. Like a thriller, for all the tension that the story entails and for the skill with which the author has dosed the facts and recreated the atmosphere and the psychological asphyxiation that surrounds the protagonists. Zafón has written a novel where he suggests more than he says directly, and where does the anxiety go? growing up from the beginning to the end. A successful and insightful story. read it!
