The Exile
In Spain of the Counter-Reformation, a physician discovers he is the target of the Holy Office of the Inquisition. Fearing imprisonment, torture, and almost certain death, he flees under cover of night. Thus begins his perilous journey as an exile through sixteenth century Europe towards a city of refuge, a destination for the persecuted of the continent. As he evades pursuit, he encounters not only imprisonment, the plague, and scams, he also wrestles with ideologies and worldviews that imprison, infect, and rob people of life and freedom. In the midst of this world that teeters on the cusp of the modern age, he meets priests and scammers, mayors and doctors, enemies and unexpected friends....
La Mujer Y La Reforma / Women and the Reformation
La Reforma del siglo XVI constituyó un fenómeno de extraordinaria relevancia espiritual. Sin embargo, su importancia no quedó limitada a las cuestiones espirituales. El regreso a la Biblia abrió la puerta a recuperar valores relacionados con el trabajo, la educación, la economia, la supremacia de la ley o la veracidad. Fue también esencial para considerar de una manera distinta - biblica - a la mujer. Denominada «la puerta del Diablo» por los teólogos medievales que incluso la definieron como un «hombre defectuoso», la Reforma devolvió a la mujer su dignidad en áreas como la familia, el matrimonio, la sexualidad y la formación. De manera totalmente novadosa y no investigada con...
Lincoln
César Vidal ha revisado su biografía de Lincoln a la luz de la historia reciente de España. Sin desvirtuar la que sin duda es la mejor biografía de Lincoln escrita por un autor español, Vidal ha aprovechado las reflexiones del legendario presidente norteamericano para reflexionar también sobre los problemas de nuestra democracia, sobre nuestras propias disputas acerca del derecho de autodeterminación y sobre nuestra actitud hacia las minorías e inmigrantes.

The Fisherman's Testament
It is the year AD 62. The notorious Roman emperor Nero orders Marco Junio Vitalis, a seasoned military general, to assist him in a most peculiar legal proceeding. Vitalis interrogates an elderly Jewish fisherman called Peter, who many years earlier had been a close friend of a man known as Jesus—the same Jesus condemned to death in Jerusalem by Pontius Pilate. Loyal to the emperor, Vitalis determines to do everything in his power to expose the truth around this strange new religious sect before it undermines Roman rule. So it is, through the course of interrogation between veteran soldier and detainee, that a story emerges that will shake the very foundations of the Roman Empire. Now making its first-ever appearance in English, this award-winning, meticulously researched Spanish bestseller transports readers back to ancient Rome … to a culture far removed from ours yet with striking similarities … and a time of tumultuous upheaval where the stakes are high for followers of Christ.
Going for the Ko
The stellar moments of boxing seem to take place in public, under blinding spotlights and thousands of eyes fixed on tense muscles. But it is not like that... everything begins to take shape much earlier. In loneliness. Sweating to exhaustion in gyms with the smell of "basement armpit", jogging in fields and parks, between shadows and silences of cold dawns. Weight, diet, rest, no nights out. Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice. That is where success begins to germinate. The staging is nothing more than the accumulation of effort and sacrifice almost always worked in solitude, almost always in the midst of incomprehension. Can a more similar metaphor to life be constructed than those offered by boxing?
