Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Naturaleza muerta

Tuscany, 1944: As Allied troops advance and bombs fall around deserted villages, a young English soldier, Ulysses Temper, finds himself in the wine cellar of a deserted villa. There, he has a chance encounter with Evelyn Skinner, a middle-aged art historian who has come to Italy to salvage paintings from the ruins and recall long-forgotten memories of her own youth. In each other, Ulysses and Evelyn find a kindred spirit amidst the rubble of war-torn Italy, and set off on a course of events that will shape Ulysses' life for the next four decades. As Ulysses returns home to London, re-immersing himself in his crew at The Stoat and Parot--a motley mix of pub crawlers and eccentrics--he carries his time in Italy with him. And when an unexpected inheritance brings him back to where it all began, Ulysses knows better than to tempt fate, and returns to the Tuscan hills. With beautiful prose, extraordinary tenderness, and bursts of humor and light, Still Life is a sweeping portrait of unforgettable individuals who come together to make a family, and a deeply drawn celebration of beauty and love in all its forms.

Grasas inteligentes

Libro Grasas inteligentes

Durante años se ha insistido en que consumir grasas es perjudicial. Esta afirmación ha provocado un gran malentendido, uno más en la interminable lista de falsas verdades que proliferan en el ámbito de la nutrición. Al eliminar las grasas de la dieta, no solo nos privamos de extraordinarios beneficios para nuestra salud, sino que también saboteamos cualquier esfuerzo encaminado a perder peso. A pesar de que provienen de corrientes marcadamente distintas en lo que respecta a alimentación sana y pérdida de peso, ambos autores –Jonny Bowden, reconocido nutricionista, y Steven Masley,...
