Sur es la historia del viaje más importante de Sir Ernest Shackleton, narrada por él mismo: la Expedición Imperial Transantártica. Sintiendo que el orgullo de su patria, Gran Bretaña, estaba perdido al no haber sido el primer país en alcanzar el Polo Sur geográfico —el noruego Roald Amundsen lo había conquistado en 1911—, Shackleton planificó un nuevo viaje con grandes ambiciones. No sólo se proponía llegar al Polo Sur, sino que soñaba con atravesar a pie el vasto continente blanco, desde el mar de Weddell hasta el mar de Ross, una distancia total de 2900 kilómetros.

Sierra Leone
Patricia Tobaldo

All stories attempt to soften the truth. All the truths aim to be history. The facts dream of being just words that are diluted in the oblivion of time. It will be seen in this case that the truth claims to be history but only in the imagination. What I come to tell you happened in a land of peace where life was an indefinite article. In that place the seeds did well, the green stretched in gentle landscapes, the rice paddies ripened in time, the trees gained height, dry and raining seasons flowed in perfect synchronization; the rain poured …

We Promise Not To Tell
We Promise Not To Tell
Albert Able

A human story of love, pain, humour, and ambition all spiced with a little scandal and intrigue, We Promise Not to Tell is a dramatisation, plus a little author’s licence of 40 highly successful years in and around the hotel business. Much of it recorded in photographs, on video, and in personal diaries. Starting with nothing more than a little street sense, the book takes you on an emotional journey to battle with prejudice and corruption to create success. The book rarely refers to people or hotels by name, and when it does, the names are fictitious. It includes numerous …

Between Cliffs and Airports
Maximiliano Mills

Through unpredictable waves we are taken to the laboratory of outstanding faith, planned with playful zigzagging or violent changes, all within the goals of his imagination which he was never willing to give up on. This collection of personal milestones is captivating because of how well the narration is weaved, with moments of hilarious occasional suspense. It also opens, more than doors or windows, a parallel dimension that shows us how to never become discouraged when we have set a goal for ourselves. The author does not aspire to create literature, but indirectly invites us to reflect upon …
