Juan Martin Del Potro
This book tells the story of one of Argentina's greatest tennis players, the most important of his generation. After winning the 2009 U.S. Open, defeating Roger Federer in a glorious five-set final, del Potro was poised to take over the tennis world. However, wrist problems developed and del Potro endured three surgeries over fifteen months. One of the world's most popular players, del Potro's fan base grew as he made his comeback--watching him win his second Olympic medal in Rio in 2016, where he once lost to Andy Murray, but won the hearts of millions around the world. He followed up by leading Argentina to victory in the Davis Cup. Described as the "Gentle Giant," del Potro has the sensitivity to comfort a ball girl hit during a match, to stop in the middle of the game to gaze at a butterfly, and to accompany a young fan in the last days of his life. However, when he grips the racket, he becomes one of the most destructive strikers of a tennis ball.
¡Academia, carajo!

El español de los traductores y otros estudios
Traducir y escribir son ejercicios que exigen plenitud intelectual y, como tales, deben desplegar la paciencia, la claridad, la mesura del decoro, la discreción de la prudencia y, sobre todo, el amor por cada letra que es germen de la palabra. Pero, al traducir, amor denota luchar sin claudicaciones en medio de una jungla verbal con la convicción de que siempre quedará un espacio intraducible entre las dos lenguas y también significa saber -ansias insaciables de saber-, un saber vigorosamente ambicioso sobre la lengua que nos identifica para darnos con más respeto a los demás, ya que cada voz nos expresa y los expresa. Los ojos ajenos y los nuestros tienen sed de deslumbrarse ante los textos traducidos, de penetrarlos, de ser palabras en las palabras de los otros y hasta de ser pensados por las palabras de los otros. Por eso, cada línea de escritura debe ser camino de belleza, un indiscutible hecho de arte.
