mejor de la narración breve de Julio César Londoño, un escritor apasionado del cuento y del ensayo. En sus ensayos se empeña en acercar al hombre común la obra del genio. Concisos, transparentes, agudos, versan sobre tópicos tan diversos como la moda, los números, los sentidos, las hormigas, el ocio, la Torre de Babel, la obra ensayística de Borges, la relación entre Mutis y Poniatowska o la mítica derrota de Gary Kasparov, el mejor jugador de ajedrez de todos los tiempos, a manos de un computador. En sus cuentos hay el mismo afán de cautivar al lector, el mismo desenfado para narrar combinado con un cuidado musical de la forma, la misma erudición, la misma variedad temática, a veces las mismas obsesiones, y protagonistas tan atractivos como el caballo de Troya, Cristóbal Colón, Rufino José Cuervo, el cacique muisca Bechí, Johannes Kepler y Ramsés II.Célébrons La Discrétion: Histoires Inspirantes Pour Les Introvertis Et Les Personnes Hypersensibles

greatest writers of our age comes a collection of stories and parables unlocking the mysteries of the human condition. Gathered from Paulo Coelho’s daily column of the same name, Maktub, meaning “it is written,” invites seekers on a journey of faith, self-reflection, and transformation. As Paulo Coelho explains, “Maktub is not a book of advice—but an exchange of experiences.”Each story offers an illuminated path to see life and the lives of our fellow people around the world in new ways, allowing us to tap into universal truths about our collective and individual humanity. As Coelho writes, “a man who seeks only the light, while shirking his responsibilities, will never find illumination. And one who keep his eyes fixed upon the sun . . . ends up blind.” These wise tales offer the perspective of talking snakes, old women climbing mountains, disciples querying their masters, Buddha in dialogue, mysterious hermits, and many saints addressing the mysteries of the universe.Following the path of his previous internationally bestselling works, this thoughtful collection of short, inspirational pieces, introduced in a foreword by the author and illustrated with black-and-white line art throughout, will engage seekers of all ages and backgrounds.
