El Parque Natural del Cadí-Moixeró es un espacio protegido que se extiende por tres comarcas, el Berguedà, la Cerdanya y el Alt Urgell. Es una reserva de montaña, con una orografía que oscila entre los 800 m en el fondo de los valles hasta los 2.648 m de su punto culminante, el Vulturó o Puig de la Canal Baridana. Las montañas que forman la reserva natural son la sierra del Cadí, la sierra del Moixeró, el macizo del Pedraforca y parte de la Tosa y del Puigllançada. Las excursiones escogidas para este libro, pensadas para todos los públicos, se adentran por los senderos de los magníficos bosques del parque, recorren la ribera de sus ríos, se asoman a miradores privilegiados, callejean por pueblos plenos de encanto y ascienden a algunos de sus picos, como el Pedraforca, una montaña emblemática del excursionismo catalán, a la que también rodearemos por caminos bien trazados que nos enseñan todas las caras de la mítica montaña.Mostra libro

A travelogue exploring the life and work of George Orwell through the places he lived, worked and wrote Following in the footsteps of his literary hero, researcher and historian Oliver Lewis set out to visit all the places to have inspired and been lived in by George Orwell. Over three years he travelled from Wigan to Catalonia, Paris to Motihari, Marrakesh to Eton, and in each location explored both how Orwell experienced the place, and how the place now remembers him as a literary icon. Beginning in Northern India, where Orwell was born in 1903, and ending in the Oxfordshire village of Sutton Courtenay, where he was laid to rest in 1950, The Orwell Tour offers an accessible and informative new biography of Orwell through the lens of place.Mostra libro
It should have been Rebecca Schiller's dream come true: moving her young family to the English countryside to raise goats and coax their own fruit and vegetables from the land. But, as she writes: The summer of striding out toward a life of open fields and sacks of corn, I brought a confused black hole of something pernicious but not yet acknowledged along for the ride. Rebecca's health begins to crumble, with bewildering symptoms: frequent falls, uncontrollable rages, and mysterious lapses in memory. As she fights to be seen by specialists, her fledgling homestead—and her family—hang by increasingly tenuous threads. And when her diagnosis finally comes, it is utterly unexpected: severe ADHD. In her scramble for answers, Rebecca's consciousness alternately sears with pinpoint focus and spirals with connections. Childhood memories resurface with new meaning, and her daily life entwines with the history of women who tended this land before her. Her family weathers their growing pains where generations of acorns have fallen to rise again as trees, where ancient wolves and lynx once stalked the shadows. Written in unsparing, luminous prose, this is an all-absorbing memoir of one woman's newfound neurodivergence—and a clarion call to overturn the narrative that says minds are either normal and good or different and broken.Mostra libro

Mark Twain, Bret Harte, Ina Coolbrith, and Charles Stoddard are the four San Francisco Bohemian writers of the 1860s who set the course for American literature. This Mark Twain Valentine audiobook tells the story of their love triangle. Mark Twain made sure that his full true-life story would not be told for 100 years after his death, so this story has never been heard publicly before! Make a date with your sweetheart to listen in! Mark Twain became a credited author for the first time while in San Francisco, a hundred years before the Summer of Love, with the publication of The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. Twain and the other San Francisco Bohemian writers were in their twenties at the time. The de Young brothers were in their teens when they started the San Francisco Chronicle with Mark Twain as a reporter! Bret Harte was the leader and mentor of San Francisco’s Bohemian writers, and Mark Twain competed with Bret for the attention of the enchanting poet Ina Coolbrith. This is the story of how that turned out... details kept from the public for over 160 years. Ina held salons in her home on Russian Hill for her Bohemian friends and their patrons, which became the foundation for the Bohemian Club. Ina later became Oakland’s first librarian (where she mentored Jack London) and became the first poet laureate of any state. But the love triangle occurred during an earlier, more tumultuous time as the American Civil War was being brought to a close and San Francisco grew in sophistication. This two-hour audiobook is important California history told with the droll sarcasm unique to Mark Twain. It should not be missed!Mostra libro
