Neither is aware that their relationship is at the starting point of a difficult love affair. Through desires and doubts, suffering will be inevitable. From being passionately in love, to one rejecting the other, this story narrates the emotional journey between a young woman who has barely lived and a man ten years her senior. While one seeks love and stability, the other is more hesitant and gets lost along the way. Fear, doubt and suspicion develop one after the other, to the point of stifling the bond that once held them together. Deception, temptation and jealousy will be the final blow. Through risky unknowns and struggles, the quest for happiness is a joyful madness that plays an important part of life. Under the Summer Sun is Emmanuel Bodin’s second book. The story revisits the characters of his previous novel, All To Play For, and acts temporally as a prequel: the first romantic encounter of our two protagonists.
To Joel Buton When he was still a child. When you could already see a little glint, if attentively looking into his eyes. A glint slowly lighting in the darkness. And from that fragile glint, guessing in him, little child, the birth of his great dream. A Lost Little Girl left Her Happy Thought by Federico Parra Drawings Anastasia S. Parra Preface This is a story of courage and changing. A fairy tale, a great adventure, a growth. A nemesis, a social and personal revolution. Passing through the features of the high-sounding French names, you will enter in Alice’s Wonderland through its ventricles and narrow streets. You will meet the Aristocats and then you will go back to the 101 Dalmatians in a dreamy Paris. You will encounter distant memories of characters known only in the imagination of children, and you will meet other real but carelessly and unfortunately unknown characters! In this story, you will cross a good part of the vast and colorful world of fairy tales. You will travel with few bags to fill, at every single stop. Through a small arc of white roses, you will enter the garden of a faraway fairyland. You will enter a world that, in some way, it belongs to us and leads us to the true reality of our childhood… When animals and plants were able to speak. When a small stone could be magical. And when every happy thought, could also come true tomorrow! J. D. Goodman
-Incluye nuevo material sobre nebulosas planetarias.- El Génesis, los siete días, la Creación… ¿de dónde procede el texto que compone la primera parte de La Biblia? ¿Es su texto sólo un poema introductorio… o es una narración? ¿Que hay detrás de sus palabras? Alberto Canen ha encontrado un camino alternativo para dar respuestas a estas y a otras preguntas contenidas en el Génesis. Ha hallado una ruta por la que nadie había transitado antes e invita al lector a recorrerla y a realizar con él sus hallazgos. El autor ha descubierto que oculto en el fondo de la trama existe alguien. Alguien que observa, alguien que narra. Alguien que narra lo que observa. Y un lugar, un sitio desde el cual observa. La ubicación del observador. La clave de un apasionante rompecabezas. –Incluye nuevo material sobre nebulosas planetarias.- El Génesis, los siete días, la Creación… ¿de dónde procede el texto que compone la primera parte de La Biblia? ¿Es su texto sólo un poema introductorio… o es una narración? ¿Que hay detrás de sus palabras?

La ubicación del observador. La clave de un apasionante rompecabezas. El Génesis ha sido un misterio por miles de años. No se había podido comprender de que hablaba el texto. Si era sólo un poema introductorio a las Sagradas Escrituras, o si realmente contenía información acerca de la Creación. El texto del Génesis dividió las aguas de creacionistas y cientificistas durante mucho tiempo hasta el día de hoy. Con este libro espero que esta separación entre cientificistas y creacionistas se diluya ya que he descubierto la clave que unifica ambos mundos. Creo que la clave del misterio de Génesis es comprender que es narrado por alguien. Un narrador del Génesis. El que observa la visión que Dios le entrega y a partir de allí narra lo que observa y lo observa desde su ubicación humana y terrenal. Esta ubicación terrenal y precisa es la llave para comprender el Génesis.
Sería bueno que todos pudiéramos regirnos por nuestro propio tempo, el cual nos marca el ritmo optimo a la hora de desempeñar cualquier actuacion, además, y como veremos a lo largo del libro, seguirlo va a proporcionar salud. Cada uno de nosotros somos seres únicos, por lo que sería conveniente que pudiéramos aprender a escuchar a nuestro propio organismo para saber cuál es el tempo por el que nos regimos para, con ello, ajustarnos a él, ya que es con el que nos encontraremos más tranquilos a la vez que podremos realizar nuestras tareas mejor. Desempeñar las actividades diarias de forma más acelerada a nuestro tempo, únicamente nos traerá estrés y con ello las enfermedades asociadas al mismo. De igual forma, el realizarlo por debajo de nuestro ritmo nos va a provocar desesperacion y aburrimiento. En este libro se abordará una temática, de gran importancia, tanto para nuestro auto-descubrimiento personal como para nuestras relaciones sociales, pues nos permitirá acercarnos a los otros con una nueva perspectiva enriquecedora.
