En agosto de 1914, el famoso explorador Ernest Shackleton junto a su tripulación de veintisiete hombres se embarcaron rumbo al Atlántico Sur con la intención de conseguir un hito en la historia de la exploración: realizar el primer viaje a pie a la Antártida. Después de abrirse camino por un mar de hielo helado, y cuando solo les separaban de su destino ciento sesenta kilómetros, el barco en el que viajaban, el Endurance, se quedó atrapado en el hielo y la tripulación quedó abandonada a su suerte. La terrible experiencia, convertida en una lucha desesperada del hombre contra la naturaleza, duró más de veinte meses antes de ser rescatados, y fue un auténtico milagro que salieran con vida. Entre la tripulación del Endurance se encontraba el fotógrafo y realizador australiano Frank Hurley. Más de un centenar de las fotografías y de las imágenes que realizó durante la expedición han llegado a nuestros días, aportando al libro un extraordinario valor documental.

Este país es una bendición: exótica y misteriosa pero accesible y hospitalaria, Tailandia tiene estilo y personalidad de sobra para poner a todo el mundo de su lado. Bangkok, la capital, es pura adrenalina, mientras que la costa meridional, con sus aguas cristalinas y las opciones de submarinismo espectacular, pone el contrapunto. También sus templos en ruinas y los serenos budas aguardan al viajero que va a descubrir una Tailandia viva y un destino perfecto para gastrónomos y amantes del buen comer.

Este libro autobiográfico es tanto una guía deportiva como un manual de desarrollo personal. Es el testimonio de una mujer que comparte su amor por la naturaleza, por la felicidad cotidiana en la montaña y por los secretos de su cuerpo. Es una invitación para hacer yoga en el jardín, cocinar los recursos del huerto, comer sano y correr mejor. Un hermoso libro sublimado por las imágenes, íntimas y poéticas, de su compañero, la leyenda de la montaña Kilian Jornet.

Tierra de asombrosa belleza natural y culturalmente compleja, de dinámicas megalópolis y minorías étnicas, estupendas playas y montañas, Vietnam es exotismo y encanto asiático en estado puro. Un país que avanza seguro y a pasos agigantados hacia el éxito y el desarrollo. Las metrópolis del país están experimentando un progreso económico e importantes cambios a un ritmo abrumador. Y lejos de los centros urbanos, en todo Vietnam aguardan experiencias inolvidables. La más sublime quizá sea contemplar los paisajes de islas de caliza a bordo de un junco tradicional en la bahía de Halong. O bien descubrir las cuevas más espectaculares del mundo en el Parque Nacional de Phong Nha-Ke Bang. También las hay cómicas, como ver una motocicleta cargada de cerdos por una carretera llena de baches; y sobrecogedoras, como presenciar una tumba solitaria en un cementerio de víctimas de la guerra. En conjunto, Vietnam es un país que no dejará indiferente.
