Die späten Nullerjahre, frühen 2010er Jahre in einer ostdeutschen Kleinstadt: Die schönste Version erzählt die Geschichte von Jella und Yannick, von der ersten großen Liebe, die alles richtig machen will. Bis es kippt. Wieder zurück in ihrem Kinderzimmer fragt Jella sich, wie es so weit kommen konnte. Sie schaut noch einmal genauer hin: auf ihr Aufwachsen in der Lausitz. Kleinstadt und Kiesgruben, Gangsterrap und Glitzerlipgloss. Auf Freundinnen, die sie durch so vieles trugen. Und auf den Moment, in dem Yannicks Hände sich um ihren Hals schlossen.

Though Rebecca’s a Master of Fire, Water, Earth, and Air, that isn’t much help when it comes to managing her own life. The Wright Guild’s recent decision to admit women was exactly what Master Full Wright Rebecca Fuller had hoped for. Perhaps now she could get back to teaching her students, running her shop, avoiding the Guild’s interference in her life, and planning her wedding to David. But the Queen steps in and everything falls apart. Faced with impossible demands, the Guild must do what it hates most—cooperate and change—and everyone must play their part.

Una novela hipnótica sobre el secreto y su conveniencia posible, sobre el matrimonio, el asesinato y la instigación, sobre la sospecha, el hablar y el callar y la persuasión: sobre los corazones tan blancos que poco a poco se van tiñendo y acaban siendo lo que nunca quisieron ser. Este es el ya legendario comienzo de un clásico contemporáneo, Corazón tan blanco, cuyo protagonista y narrador, Juan Ranz, prefiere siempre no saber, consciente de lo peligroso que resulta escuchar: los oídos no tienen párpados, y lo que les llega ya no se olvida.

It is also useful to understand that dysregulation is the CORRECT expression of a properly functioning nervous system - everyone can become dysregulated at times.

“The answer is no, Lyra”, my mother utters her favorite - I swear - phrase. No means I have to travel with them to another planet - again. No means leaving all my friends 50 years in the past. Thanks, Einstein. Seventeen-year-old Lyra Daniels can’t truly blame Einstein or her parents for their impending move across the Milky Way Galaxy. It’s all due to the invention of the Q-net, which made traveling the vast distances in space possible - with one big caveat: the time dilation.

En las ya clásicas memorias del chef Anthony Bourdain, éste nos llevó a través de las puertas giratorias de la cocina y puso patas arriba el oficio culinario.

This is a book about discovering what we really need. There are a lot of second-best options, but we weren’t made to live a second-best life. Finding what we actually need is different than what we are often offered. There are many books full of opinions, steps and programs. This isn’t one of them. This is about craving the things that matter. Things that don’t just work, but last.
