Ordinary Assembly shows the circumstance in which several characters are found due to unemployment, the effects of unemployment and the deterioration of working conditions, the way of life of people who have been harshly stabbed by the crisis.
These changes affect more profoundly than many might think, it changes the way we relate to them and the perception we have of ourselves, causing reactions that in other circumstances would not have happened.
"Ordinary Assembly is a novel about the impact of the economic crisis on today's Spanish society but, like all authentically literary works, it is also a story about life and how we decide to live it."
“2666” by Roberto Bolaño (reissue)
Alfaguara - September 15 - 1240 pages
In 2666 Roberto Bolaño narrates stories that revolve around Benno Archimboldi, the character of this story, a writer who, despite having been a candidate for the Nobel Prize, nobody knows and, on the other hand, the story also centers on a series of murders of women in the Mexican city of Santa Teresa.
Five parts are found in this book, that of the critics, that of Amalfitano, that of Fate that of crimes and that of Archimboldo and each of them tells a part of the story that is intertwined and all of them starring by characters that seem to always be on the edge of an existential abyss.
"The faces of being. Your spiritual journey to transcendence ”by Avi Hay
Editions B - September 14 - 268 pages
Avi Hay is known for her meditation and therapy guides. In this book he communicates to readers the need to experiment to be conscious as a species, with responsibility, peace, abundance and well-being. A book with the objective of "heal the wounds of the soul, fulfill our existence program and transcend the Being that is human."
"The Faces of Being is an extraordinary book, specially conceived for" old souls "who yearn to understand life as a journey towards liberation. But it is also a great door for novice readers in the field of science and spirituality, because it ties the ropes of Non-duality with science and computer science, of spiritual traditions with self-awareness and clears, in simple and accessible terms, the mystery of the curtain between life in this world and on the "Other Side".
