What kept them going—and helped them navigate the rough waters of middle age—was fishing and friendship.

David Le Breton mezcla en Elogio del caminar a Pierre Sansot y a Patrick Leigh Fermor, pero también hace que Bashô y Stevenson dialoguen sin preocuparse por el rigor histórico, pues el propósito de este exquisito libro no radica ahí, se trata solamente de caminar juntos, de intercambiar impresiones, como si estuviéramos en torno a una mesa en un albergue al borde del camino, por la tarde, cuando el cansancio y el vino nos hacen hablar.

Trotter has been dangling from astonishingly high places for over 25 years, more than half his life. He’s been at the forefront of the sport for most of that time, specializing in first ascents on rock faces most people cannot imagine scaling. In Uplifted, Sonnie recounts the most memorable moments of his career but also the rich relationships, including with epic climbers such as Tommy Caldwell ("Dawn Wall") and Alex Honnold ("Free Solo"), that are the spine of the sport, as well as the psyche that draws one to and evolves as one grows into and through this unique and challenging endeavor.

Subcampeón es una autobiografía desternillante y cruda, entre la comedia y la angustia. Se lee como un tobogán: rápido, divertido y con un poco de miedo. Con diecinueve años, Zuhaitz Gurrutxaga cumplió el sueño de su vida: debutar con la Real Sociedad en Primera División. La perla de la cantera guipuzcoana cautivó a los aficionados y a la prensa, pero empezó a sentir cada vez más presión: "Tenía mucho miedo a fallar en el campo. Llegué a odiar el fútbol por todo lo que me hacía sufrir". Una noche de verano se le voló la cabeza y creyó que se había vuelto loco para siempre.

On the Water is a gorgeously written collection of essays that all take place on or near the water and pay tribute to the flora and fauna associated with those ecosystems. There are essays about the finer points of tickling rainbow trout in the streams of Normandy, and of eagles and ospreys fishing for bass while barely breaking the surface of the water. There are stories of droughts and floods, of dogs and boats, of worms and rattlesnakes, and even of catching and cooking soft-shell turtles that taste like osso-bucco.
