MY STORY, FROM THE TOP OF THE NANGA PARBAT TO THE HELL OF G7
by Cala Cimenti
Cala Cimenti had dreamt all his life of conquering the Nanga Parbat – the ninth highest peak in the world – and the unclimbed G7.A mountaineer and skier, he intended to climb both peaks and then make the full descent on his skis. The ascension of the Nanga Parbat went just as planned, but the second expedition turned into a nightmare. For a mountaineer, climbing the Nanga Parbat, the ninth highest peak in the world, is one of the highest possible achievements. For a skier, skiing back down is the most extreme adventure of all. For Cala Cimenti, a mountaineer and skier, the Nanga Parbat was all this and much, much more. The killer mountain, as it was called because of the number of daredevils who had died in trying to conquer it, had become his forbidden dream.Along with the Gasherbrum VII. Conquering the still unclimbed mountain known as G7 would not only offer him the chance for a unique record, but also an immaculate skiing slope. So Cala decided to set off on this double undertaking along with a friend, Francesco Cassardo.Little did he know the trials the ruthless mountain would put him through, or the hell waiting for him at the top. Due to a ruinous fall Francesco will risk a slow, painful death. While rescue teams struggle to arrive, it will be up to Cala’s sangefroid and to the help of his wife from Italy to save the life of his friend.

FictionSeptember 2018Una cala a la narrativa cubana (A taste of the Cuban narrative)
by Rodolfo Alpízar
In the Modern Age, the Caribbean was the hinge of an economic system that sustained the transatlantic economy of the West for at least three centuries; it was the crossroads of continents, a cultural gateway that brought together -as Antonio Garcia de Leon would say- an "Atlantis of mentalities". And that is precisely what is reflected in this selection made by Rodolfo Alpízar, where voices of all types, ages and genres converge, dialoguing with each other. Here we see once again why Cuba has always been a beacon for Latin America and the world. Una cala a la narrativa cubana de hoy is a slice, a cove, of that throbbing torrent that is Cuban literature.

The natural world, country life & petsNatural Journey
An encounter between Arts and Science
by Josefina Hepp, Vivian Lavin, María José Arce
“Natural Journey” aims to remove the old-fashioned tension between art and science in order to approach nature’s shapes and colors with astonishment and without being distracted from the main task: to learn from it and listen to its call in the midst of the climate crisis. Botanical illustration is the art that allows us to enter the world of plants through our senses. But it is also a scientific record that provides botanists and scholars with subtle and precise representations that no technological device can reproduce. A botanist, an illustrator and a journalist are touched by the journey led by other women who inspired them with their environmental sensitivity and awareness. When reading “Natural Journey”, you will be taken into a pleasant walk through six types of plants whose names take after their identifying characteristics. “Travelers”, some inspire and others move (without legs or wings), “dangerous”, even lethal, colors and characteristics that define them, “deceitful”, traps and camouflages to get what they want, “rebels”, those who dodge the rules, undisciplined, stubborn and defiant, and “hungry” from the Plant to the Animal Kingdom, nutrient-capture strategies, “flamboyant”, as emerged from delirium. The book also contains each plant’s data sheet and mapping.

Food & DrinkOctober 2022The Heart of Cocoa
500 Years of Chocolate History
by Napoleone Neri
The temptation par excellence, that craving that suddenly arises and we cannot fight it unless we satisfy it: the desire for chocolate. Perhaps it is because of this power that it is called the most loved food on the planet. Or perhaps it is because its cultivation, production and consumption - which has been growing strongly in the last 10 years - are spread across all continents. Napoleon Neri tells its story, starting with the plant and its fruit, from the pioneers of chocolate, to the birth of confectionery factories in the 19th century and then the great modern industries. He describes in detail the processing and transformation of cocoa beans, their beneficial properties, the sensory characteristics of the finished product, and spices everything up with a thousand anecdotes and curiosities that only those who have lived and worked in this world for so long can know.
