Green Hills of Africa
Ernest Hemingway's lyrical daily of a month of safari in the great country of East Africa, where he and his wife Pauline traveled in December 1933.
The best intentions
This is the complex love story lived by Henrik Bergman, a young theology student, and Ånna Akerblom, the only daughter of an upsala family. Of course we have already recognized them: it is the parents of Ingmar Bergman. The story of Henrik and Anna begins in 1909, during the big strike, and ends ten years later, when the young student has already become a pastor, and his wife - a world full of light and tiniebla - is waiting for his second child.
The last time
"El última coto," the last book of Miguel Delibes, rerecorded his hunts from 1986 to 1991, but also his growing concern for the deterioration of nature and for the species that disappear. In the last lines of this work Delibes said goodbye to his inseparable, for so many years, red perdiz: "The last point has fulfilled his mission and I find myself in the face of that brave red patirred hillside that so many satisfaction has made me stop during sixty years of cynical exercise.".
