El libro está ambientado en 2049. La industria alimentaria mundial está gestionada por los chinos, que han acaparado los mercados y dirigen establecimientos dedicados en exclusiva a la hostelería y al ocio. Media humanidad se alimenta de productos que se extraen de la soja, el maná del siglo XXI. Euskadi es el último reducto donde se conserva intacta la tradición gastronómica, casi una religión, y da cobijo a quienes quieren luchar contra la gran invasión china y sus productos.<

Ni siquiera los grandes visionarios, como Nostradamus o Shakespeare, fueron capaces de vislumbrar la era en la que estamos viviendo.Una humanidad dividida en dos grandes grupos: «los que pueden» y «los que no pueden». ¿Se refería a esto el bueno de Hamlet cuando pronunciaba su famoso ser o no ser? Sí, sólo que hablaba en una clave que le desvelamos en este libro. Porque usted y yo sabemos que el fin del mundo es llevar siete días sin ir al váter y que sólo una diarrea mental justifica que Julio Verne nos hablara del submarino en el siglo XIX.Cagar o no cagar; ésa es la cuestión que condiciona nuestra vida y nuestro futuro. ¿Compartiría una casa sin trastero? ¿Se le ha pasado por la cabeza jugar al golf? ¿Sabría ubicar Trinidad y Tobago en un mapa? ¿Sabe cuántas parejas de bidés quedan en libertad? ¿Es capaz de establecer alguna relación entre estas preguntas? Está usted estreñido.<

SUMMARY: Inside Alaska’s biggest national park, around the town of Niniltna, a gold mining company has started buying up land. The residents of the Park are uneasy. “But gold is up to nine hundred dollars an ounce” is the refrain of Talia Macleod, the popular Alaskan skiing champ hired by the company to improve relations with the locals, and pave the way for the mine’s expansion…Then, just as Talia is ready to present her case at town meetings and village breakfasts, there are two brutal murders, including that of a long-standing mine opponent. The investigation falls to Trooper Jim Chopin and, as usual, he could use some help from newly elected Niniltna Native Association chairman and part-time P.I. Kate Shugak. But Kate already has her hands full with a series of attacks on snowmobilers up the Kanuyaq River and the homicide of Park villain Louis Deem. With both cases on the verge of going cold, can Kate take the heat?<

Todos nacemos vascos no es un libro de chistes sobre bilbaínos. Todos nacemos vascos tampoco es una colección de sketches del programa de televisión Vaya Semanita que el espectador tantas veces ha visto en los záppines. Dentro de Todos nacemos vascos ni tan siquiera se esconde un libro de recetas de cocina vasca, ni mucho menos una tesina sobre el nacionalismo. Es mucho menos que todo eso. Es simplemente la demostración fehaciente de que todos, también usted, somos vascos o lo fuimos en algún tiempo: ¿Folla usted menos de lo que quisiera? ¿Le gusta comer bien? ¿Nunca limpia la escobilla del baño? ¿Tiene una tía monja y lo lleva en secreto? ¿Prefiere una cena con la cuadrilla a una comida familiar? Pues eso, que todos nacemos vascos y algunos siguen siendo vascos toda la vida. Ahora que sus orígenes no tienen nada que envidiar a los de Javier Clemente o Xavier Arzalluz, Todos nacemos vascos le puede ayudar a conocer a sus paisanos, a comprenderlos, y a sacarle todo el provecho al sirimiri y las chuletas de kilo trescientos.<

SUMMARY: Danielle Steel's fifty-first bestselling novel tells the story of an extraordinary man, the woman who loved him, and a bond so powerful it could never be broken. It is about finding the courage to let someone you love fly free....The phone call came on a snowy December afternoon. Kate was certain it was Joe, the brilliant, visionary man who had been her soulmate, her driving force since the night they met, almost thirty-four years before. What she got was the one call she had never wanted, and didn't expect. As the snow continued to fall, Kate's mind drifted back, to the moment when she and Joe first met. She had been just seventeen and he was young, powerful, dazzling, and different from any man she'd ever known.It was just days before Christmas, 1940. The war is raging in Europe when Kate Jamison makes her debut in New York City. In a room filled with the scions of East Coast society and the leading political figures of the day, it is Joe Allbright who catches Kate's eye. At twenty-nine, Joe is the brilliant protege of Charles Lindbergh, and already a legend in flying circles for his record-breaking speed and state-of-the-art airplane designs. All Kate sees is a tall, strikingly handsome man who seems at once awkward and larger-than-life, like a shining star -- just out of reach. Joe, too, is caught off balance by his response to Kate, seeing in this beautiful young woman vitality and youth, the lifelong soulmate he never expected to find. As the months pass, they will meet again, forging a bond that will set the course of both their lives. Kate will go off to study at Radcliffe. Joe will skyrocket to fame in modern aviation. Joe's planes are his life, his passion. But irresistibly drawn to her, like moth to flame, he always comes back to Kate. Even after the long, dark years of World War II, when Kate was sure she had finally lost him completely, Joe returns. Never willing to stay, always needing to fly away. As planes are for him, Joe is the passion in her life.When the war is over, at twenty-four Kate wants marriage and a family. Joe wants the world, his limitless horizons, and the unique aviation empire he is building. Unwilling to wait any longer, Kate moves on with her life. But when a chance encounter brings them together again, the time has finally come to make a choice, one that will have profound consequences for them both for the rest of their lives.Against a vivid backdrop of war and thrilling innovation, Danielle Steel breathes life into history, weaving an intensely human story that spans three decades, of two intensely different people who, in spite of themselves, are irrevocably woven into the fabric of each other's lives. With rare insight and emotional power, she brings to life a tale of unconditional love, sacrifice, and compromise--the joining of two remarkable halves into a single, far more powerful whole. It is a novel of extraordinary grace and compassion from a master storyteller, perhaps the best story she has told.<
